Casual Fridays: Body Con Dress

Posted on by The Style Cake

Usually I do love to wear some kind of denim on Fridays, it just seems so right…right? Well, today my friends I will showcasing how I wear a casual outfit without the denim. I decided on wearing a bodycon dress, which is quite comfortable, that I purchased from Fashion Nova. To me, being casual depends much on my comfort. If I can’t be comfortable, I feel that I might as well be dressed up formal. At least I’d be uncomfortable yet snazzy in a dramatic way lol.

Today’s look I would definitely wear on a date night, girls night out, or a fun event! I happen to love stripes so this dress grabbed my attention. I paired the dress with a faux leather jacket I picked up while thrifting and a pair of open toe, knee high boots from Nasty Gal. I’ve had these boots for a year or so but they are still on the site, I’m pretty sure. They have that little peek a boo feature in the back that add that extra bit of detail. I know you’ve seen this necklace before, it’s one of my faves it was really cheap. I bought it from Aliexpress.

I had a slight issue with my look. I wore two different pairs of sunnies. The first, I once loved, now I hate lol. They give me that “bug” look that I can’t stand so I will be purging them, immediately. I grabbed a different pair and was much more satisfied with the look. This is a quick outfit for last minute plans. Let me know what you think!! I’m going to get out of here because it’s Friday!!! See you back here Monday for another look!!

Bye Cupcakes!!

 

 

Effortless Style: It's Gray Outside

Posted on by The Style Cake

So….I am honestly elated at the temperatures that southeast Michigan is having in November. It is in the 60s and 70s and there is no need for central air conditioning nor heat. I was for sure that wether would have betrayed us by now and gone back cold but nope, it still feels lovely outside. This post is definitely an upbeat one for me because as much as I wanted fall to get here, I am so excited that spring/early summer weather showed back up instead. Dressing for the fall can be tricky in Michigan if you are trying not to get sick as the weather can consist of snow one day and full on heat the next. Needless to say, I wanted an effortless look again to relax and just enjoy the weather with not a lot of complications in style.

I based this outfit off of a gray top and leggings I purchased from Target and decorated the look with accents and accessories. Gray is a neutral relaxing color that I have been leaning towards these days (along with pinks, nudes, navy, blacks and white). It allows for you to build a color scheme without clashing or creating too much contrast. I love leopard print so I just had to wear my leopard scarf to at least give the illusion of fall being upon us, lol. My shoes although nude add a subtle contrast that allows the gray to pop. I wore my fave clutch from American Apparel and my fave glasses from eBay. My denim shirt around my waist was a Walmart clearance special from years ago (not sure if Ive ever stated that) that I have worn numerous times before. I opted for thin, large gold hoop earrings and my new fave bracelet from Layered Chains. If you want to check them out, use the coupon code I listed in this post. {Thank you for checking out my other post}. Let me know what you think of my outfit after you check out the pics below and I will see you  back here Friday for something a little different that I did for the final effortless look!

Vintage Spirit….

Posted on by The Style Cake

 I bought a pistons tee back when the season was still going and had been waiting on a chance to sport my tee for a game, but it didn’t happen so I’m wearing it for this OOTD. This is a late summer fit and I can’t wait for the fall, so what better way to go out of summer than repping for the home team? Actually, since football season has started I’m still kinda, sorta repping for my hometown, right? Lol. Anyhoo, this shirt is vintage and when I’m done wearing it I plan to frame it as a part of my decor. The pants are some, that after months of hard work I can finally fit. The shoes are from NastyGal. These shoes, the “On A Level” heels are very popular but are killer on the feet. My feet were screaming for mercy. Good thing I had my flats! My sunnies are from eBay, very inexpensive. I wore a choker (that is very subtle) to support the nostalgia of my tee. I’m carrying one of my favorite bags for this summer, from Justfab. This bag allows for me to be a stylish mom and throw everything the kiddies need right inside. I’ve commented on this bag in previous posts, go through and check out the various looks with this bag.  In the meantime, check out the pics below and let me know what you think!
