Spring in my step..

Hello my sweet friends. Lately I have been spending more time outdoors especially in parks relishing and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. For me it feels a bit therapeutic and soul healing as I  wander around the verdant landscape under the clear bright blue skies and radiant sunshine while being captivated by the sights and sounds of the environment  springing back to life  after the harsh Midwestern winter.  

On that note, on a recent trip to Cottonwood Park in Bismarck, I wore a spring inspired outfit. The bold floral prints of my skirt and its kaleidoscope of colors make it the ideal spring fashion piece. The A- line silhouette  and tea length of the skirt is reminiscent of the fashion of the 1950’s however its versatility in terms of how it can be styled makes it pertinent in the present day.  For instance,  the skirt can be paired with  comfortable flat foot wear for a casual day time look or with high heels for that night time sophisticated appearance. In my case, I went for the former look by wearing a pair of polka dots ballet flats which made it the ideal footwear for a day out in the park. The polka dots on the ballet flats  also provided  the perfect accent against the intricate floral patterns.

To provide balance and symmetry to the outfit, I wore a classic black turtleneck sweater which I accessorized by utilizing the jewelry trend of layering necklaces.  For the first layer of jewelry I opted for a short length chucky floral statement piece and I complimented it with a longer delicate on trend tassel necklace. The compilation of the different lengths and types of necklaces elevated the look of  the outfit by adding a dash of vogue chic vibe. 

This therefore concludes this outfit post on what I wore on my day out in Cottonwood Park. Thank you all very much for reading.

Much Love,

When in Vegas…

Hello my dearest lovelies! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far.

Recently I visited the city of Las Vegas in the state of Nevada. And from the moment I walked out of the airplane and throughout my entire visit I was perpetually enthralled by the brilliant coruscating neon lights along the Vegas strip , the liveliness of the people, the beauty of the landscape  and the breathtaking  buildings  with  intricate architectural designs equivalent to works of art.  Therefore, to me, Las Vegas is a city that screams glitz and glamour while simultaneously showcasing the  natural beauty of the desert landscape.

In respect to the fashion, I noticed that the way people dressed and their  fashion choices were influenced by the scorching heat characteristic of the desert climate   and the  vibrancy and energy of the bustling environment. Therefore, comfortable dressing without sacrificing style reigned supreme.

Bearing these factors in mind, on one of the days I was in Las Vegas  my husband photographed me wearing a lightweight, loose fitted ,  white sheath dress  which guaranteed me  comfort  in temperatures tipping over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.  Additionally, I felt that the straight cut design of the sheath dress and the intricate black patterns on the edges of the dress gave the outfit a bohemian feel.  However, since I wanted a  somewhat defined and lady liked  silhouette I cinched the waist of my dress with a broad belt without sacrificing that easy breezy look.

In terms of  footwear, I wore  an on trend  red suede block heels shoes. The height and width of the block heels made it an ideal footwear for an evening stroll along the Las Vegas strip in comfort while  at the same time being trendy.  The pop of red colour of the shoes completed the  look of the outfit  by providing a touch of glamour.

So my dearest lovelies, this concludes this blog post on one of the outfits I wore during my visit to Las Vegas. I hope you all enjoy this post and thank you for reading.

Lots of Love,

Salisha.
