Birthday suit......

Birthday suit...... by fitfashlife featuring drop earrings

Sequin top / Topshop tall jacket / Old Navy / ASOS shoes / Black clutch / Marc by Marc Jacobs golden watch / Wet Seal rhinestone jewelry / Drop earrings

Last night I had family and friends meets us for dinner and drinks for my birthday.  It was such a good time and was much needed after a stressful week at work.  It was also my last week working there.  Since I was the birthday girl, I wanted to be on the dressier sided.  I originally had cobalt blue crop pants, but it just didn't feel right.  So, I chose my "never fail" red skinnies and sequin top and threw on my casual black blazer.  An arm party and your favorite watch and you are ready for a night out!  
Monday I start my new job.... stay tuned for what I wore this week!

Thanksgiving outfit possibility- Option 4

Thanksgiving outfit possibility by fitfashlife featuring bracelets jewelry

360 Sweater / Mango racer back tank top / H&M low jeans, $16 / Wet Seal boots / Bakers zipper bag / Stella & Dot bracelets jewelry / Stella & Dot 

Ok, this is the final option.  I'm leaning more towards this one.  It's super comfortable, perfect for my long car ride, and still looks "on point".  I just found similar booties at Old Navy on Clearance for $14.97, hollarrrrrrr!  love a great deal!  The Stella & Dot jewelry is super cute, sometimes pricey, so I only shop the sales.  Love this bangle and I will be stalking it until the price drops!  
What do you think of this one?? Did you like 1, 2, 3 or this 4th one best??

Moms: Ready for the park

Moms: Ready for the park by fitfashlife featuring style & co watches

Cowl neck poncho / LOFT slouchy pants / ALDO shoes / Wet Seal cross body handbag / Style & Co. style co watch / Marc by Marc Jacobs marc jacob

Moms you can head to the park in style.  Throw on your favorite poncho, colored crop pant, cross-body bag, studs and go.  No more sweats out of the house, unless you're headed to the gym.  Skinny jeans would work too.  Just selected any old stroller, so don't go bananas.  Loving these aldo flats too, priced right and the color is very "Fall-esq".

Workday/Weekend Sweater dress

Workday/Weekend Sweaterdress by fitfashlife featuring n.d.c shoes

Old Navy tailored shirt / GAP slim pants / Fergalicious high heels / n.d.c. n.d.c shoes / Wet Seal western booties / H&M , $24 / Post earrings / Givenchy necklace / Gap Multi Striped Sweater Dress / Chinese Laundry Tremendous | Piperlime

I had someone ask me how to wear a sweater dress for work, and then wear the same one casually on the weekend.  I chose this striped one because it's one of my favorites.  But pretty much any sweater dress can be worn for either, if paired with the right shoes and accessories.  Toss a button down on and a faux pearl bunch necklace and it instantly dresses it up.  Add dressier shoes and you are ready for work.  Change to boots/booties, an infinity scarf and some studs and you are ready for a movie/ shopping/ weekend fun! 

Enjoy!

What to Wear with... Wide Belts

What to Wear with... wide belts by fitfashlife featuring a scoop neck dress

ASOS scoop neck dress, $40 / H&M cotton blouse, $13 / H&M chiffon shirt, $12 / Elastic waist pants / Flat heels / Wet Seal bootie boots / ASOS high heel booties / Promise Shoes leather high heels / Overnight bag / Geneva hardware jewelry / Kendra Scott cuff jewelry / MNG by Mango wide belt / Mango leather buckle belt

Wide belts are hard to accessorize with.  Skinny belts are more in style and can easily be paired with many options.  But, I had a mommy reader want to get some use out of hers to mask her shrinking belly.  We can work with that!  I used one of my favorite sweater dresses and paired it with gray booties and a statement bracelet. 
Next option, I found an over-sized white button down or larger polka dot blouse (both from H&M) and some faux leather pants from Target.  Make sure either shirt is over sized and blouse-y, and reaches the middle of your tush or longer after belting and you will give the allusion of a tiny waist/ hourglass figure. You can use black leggings instead and black booties or fun pair of flats.  You can rock either outfit with a cute diaper bag I found on etsy.com.  

Enjoy!

Chilly morning commute

Chilly morning commute by fitfashlife featuring high heel boots

Old Navy / Zara blazer / H&M , $24 / Black tight / Fergalicious high heel boots / Cross body handbag / Wet Seal / FOSSIL leather watch / Blue scarve

I'm loving this studded (on the shoulder) blazer from Zara, super cute and you can dress this up or down.  I chose to dress this outfit up for the office, added tights and booties to make it a more cold weather style.  Brought out the blue in the jacket with a cozy scarf and threw in some pops of pink.  I really like this watch too, it's feminine but still has the large face, which is a trend these days.  Best part, everything is decently priced.

No letting go of the maxi!

No letting go of the maxi! by fitfashlife featuring ballet shoes

Halter dress / J.Crew knit cardigan / AllSaints slim fit t shirt / INC International Concepts closed toe shoes / Madewell ballet shoes / Dorothy Perkins shoulder handbag / ASOS oversized watch / Crystal jewelry / Metal jewelry / Wet Seal braided belt

Going through my closets (yes I said closets, plural) I tried to pick out some outfits that I can wear one last time before putting away until next summer.  I picked my black maxi dress to wear this week.  I don't have many meetings and it will be more laid back then normal since Monday was Labor Day.  After styling it this way above, it made me realize that I can even get a few more wears by pairing it with fall items as we move into Fall.  More ways to style this Maxi coming soon! 

How would you rock your maxi into Fall??

Stepping up Casual Friday- Orange and Navy

Orange and Navy by fitfashlife featuring alexis bittar jewelry

If I was to buy one pair of colored jeans, it would be these.  This pair would take me from end of summer right into fall.  I would step up casual Friday a bit and rock fun jewelry and booties!  Changed it up and added a striped blazer, just cause I can!

What is one item you would buy now to rock for summer and be able to wear throughout the fall!?!?! 

Happy Monday!

Ice Cream date after a day at the pool

Ice Cream date after a day at the pool by fitfashlife featuring a leather clutch

 This coming weekend hubby and I will be babysitting our 2 nephews, ages 1 1/2 and 3 1/2.  We'll be hanging by the pool both days, but we'll probably take them for ice cream Saturday night.... even though you've got kids in tow, and schweated your a$$ off all day, you can still look cute and thrown together for a mini-date night!  

Rehearsal Lunch

Rehearsal Lunch by fitfashlife featuring shell earrings

Thinking about my outfit for my wedding rehearsal lunch this Saturday.  It's a little more casual than most, because it's a Southern BBQ menu.  I still wanted to be dressed up since I am the bride, so I put this outfit together.  I couldn't find this dress in the teal color I own it in, so I put a swatch of the color next to the dress.  I dressed it up with shell chandelier earrings and shell/gold bangles and I want to be comfortable so I added the brown wedges. 

What do you think?  Not dressy enough!?!?  

I will be a MRS in 5 days!!!! whoohooooo!
