My love for everything C- Color block, Color Combos & Collared dress + Fashion Link Up

When I first saw this dress on ASOS.com I just knew I had to have it. I loved the shape;I loved the color blocking; and I loved the collar. Being the interesting color combo lover that I am, I knew that I wanted to wear it with something yellow, so I pulled these little strappy sandals off the self and viola!.What do you guys think?

Budget Outfit Details: The dress was $34 which is typically more than I pay for a dress, I have to really like it for that. But $34 is not expensive, I just happen to be quite frugal when it comes to some things. LOL The strappy heels I have had for about a year and they were only $16.02, not that was a great deal. So all and all $52.02 is still not bad for a budget outfit.

So sorry there was no link up last week. My dad is back in the hospital and I think because of work, kids, running around, stress, and not enough sleep I started feeling under the weather. I think it was my body's way of saying "Hey, get some sleep and take of yourself!" Consequently, I wasn't able to get the link up out last week. But one of my intentions for 2016 is to start planning and scheduling blog post ahead of time, so that I  can be more organized, effective, less stressed and the last minute inconveniences of life that are bound to happen don't have to such an impact.

LWD + Giveaway +Mahogany Closet Mondays Fashion Link Up

I got this LWD, little white dress on sale at ASOS.com. Thought it was the perfect opportunity to rock my black and white polka dot strappy heels (I wore the snake skin version in this post) and this black and white houndstooth print clutch I made. Both I have had for a little while now, I think they are so cute, but just haven't had the opportunity to wear them yet. Plus, I usually try to keep one or two cute white dresses in my closet just in case there is a white party. There is usually at least one white theme party a year I attend. And it is always seems so hard to find a white outfit when you actually need one. So "if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready". :-)

Bedget outfit alert - Dress was $20 (now down to $14). Shoes $20 has part of the sales they always offer new customers. And purse I made. I probably spent about $10 on additional fabric and also used other materials I already had. So altogether this is about a $50 outfit.
