DOTD: Coral-tastic

Hola Divas…
If Happy-ness (yes I misspelled it intentionally) came in a color… it would Coral. I love Coral. It has not replaced Purple as my favorite color, but it definitely in 3rd place behind fuschia. So I felt completely confident and awesome in this dress today. Add my shoes from Shoedazzle and I feel like a complete Diva.

Today was a good day… even though it didn’t start out that way. When I attempted to drive off in my SUV this morning, my car wouldn’t start. But God is good, and he had my neighbor the mechanic in the parking lot taking out his trash. So he gave me a jump and I headed off to work. After putting some air in my tire as my front tire was getting a flat too. But that was the hardest part of my day… the rest of my day was filled with work (that I LOVE) and these pics.

I am so proud of myself for doing 3 posts in 1 week. I want to show my readers that I am seriously back this time. I need my readers to know how much they mean to me. Actually this blog kept me sane when I thought I had nothing else… and I want to actively blog again because it brings me joy. What is the longest you’ve gone without blogging (if you blog)? What is your color hierarchy system (meaning what are your top 3 favorite colors in order)? Is coral a color you’ve found yourself gravitating to this spring? What do you think of today’s OOTD? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

What I Wore While Putting Air In My Tires:
Dress: Dots
Jacket: Torrid
Shoes: ShoeDazzle
Ring: Charming Charlie
Earrings: beauty supply

Lo Quiero Ahora: Springtime Fun Needed Here…

Hola Divas…
So as you read on my previous post, I have a new job. And I am the salary with this job is going to afford me the opportunity to shop again. Well, not again but shop places other than Forever21+ and Target. Don’t get me wrong… I love the T & F21 but I miss being able to afford City Chic & Torrid. So this morning I woke up to browse some of my favorite online shops and pic some items that I thought would take my closet to the next level. Then I thought… why not share my loves with my readers so that they can see I’m serious about turning this blog around…

What do you think about my springtime wants?

Jade Garden Maxi – City Chic

Polka Dot Sheath – Monroe & Main 

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Manda Sleeveless Faux Wrap Dress – Macy’s

Twist Tee Striped Callie Off-Shoulder Tee – Torrid 

As you can see… I included a few of my favorite things: maxi dresses, stripes, polka dots, & color…. now if only the funds would align with my desires. Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

DOTD: I’m Back… Did you miss me?

Hola Divas…
I know you are probably reading the title and thinking to yourself that… sure… she says that every month. But this time… I mean it. Because today I started a new job and this new job is closer to home and will allow me the time I need in the evenings to keep this blog going. Because while I was working my previous position, the travel to work and the time I spent there left little time or energy for blogging. Will I be posting EVERYDAY? Probably not… but it will be more frequent.

So today was my first day and although there were parts of the day that I didn’t like… most of it was pretty enjoyable and I am happy to be back doing what I do best… project management… OH YEAH!!!!

Okay, so today wasn’t an overly awesome outfit… but I felt pretty and I really loved the shoes… they are my first pair from Sole Society… and now… I know what the fuss is all about… Those shoes are awesomely comfortable…

So onto the fashion portion of this post… but as always… let’s discuss something… What do you think of my 1st day outfit? What do you think I should wear tomorrow? Have you tried Sole Society? What do you think of their shoes? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

What I Wore On My First Day My New Job:
Blazer: Curve Appeal Consignment
Dress: Burlington Coat Factory
Shoes: Sole Society
Earrings: beauty supply

DOTD: Colorblocking… Finally

Hola Divas…
I love Colorblocking. I sit on Pinterest as much time as I can and I can’t get enough of images of bloggers, models, and everyone in colorblocking pictures. And I think to myself that I would love to colorblock. I know you’re thinking that you’ve seen me colorblock. But there is always a piece that draws the colors together. A necklace, shoes, or earrings…always a piece that have both colors together so that I didn’t have to actually work so hard at the colorblocking.

I finally did it. I colorblocked and did so without a linking piece. I love red and teal and this morning I was so pressed to wear them together and I have to admit… I am in LOVE with how this turned out. I wore black basics to draw the pieces together but I am glad I colorblocked with 2 colors FINALLY…. now my next goal… to colorblock with 3 colors… hehe… I’m so proud of myself…. I’m also proud that I did 2 posts in one week.

Now to the honest part… I really wanted to wear this with a different pair of shoes but I couldn’t see me making it the entire day in any other shoes. I love these shoes because they are one of the few pair of heels that I own that can be walked in for more than 6 hours. I mean I can do these shoes almost all day no problem. I had to go see my son’s PO (who said that my son is doing amazingly) and I had to go and rip my leasing office a new one (seriously… everything bad that happens in this neighborhood is not my son’s fault… PERIOD)… but I digress… Today was long but productive and now (thank goodness) it’s almost over. I plan on posting this and then reading or being on Pinterest until I fall asleep. How was your day? Did you do anything eventful? Have you colorblocked yet? If so, how do you think it turned out? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

P.S. I just realized that I’m wearing almost all Forever21+…

What I Wore While Blocking the Color:
Black Cami: Forever21+
Teal Lace Top: Forever21+
Red Skinnies: Forever21+
Shoes: Off Broadway Shoes
Ring: Charming Charlie
Earrings: beauty supply
Sunglasses: Flea Market

DOTD: Making a little Sunshine During Darkness

Hola Divas…
I’ve seen some drama in the last few days. Drama that I can’t completely go into on my blog because I don’t know who will read it… but drama, none the less. I wish I could just put into words just what I’ve been through but know that it was work related and for the first time in my life I realized that I am not able to work with “every” personality. Anyway….

I love purple… I think that in the years that I’ve worked on this blog you may have figured that out… lmao… so when I need some “fabric courage”… I tend to go with purple (my signature color) or red (my power color). In this instance, today, I went with purple. I also went with yellow because I love purple and yellow together and I also think that nothing brightens up a day like yellow… hence my title…

I don’t know how I truly feel about this outfit but I do know that I felt better after putting it on. Do you have a color you wear for certain situations? Do you find that certain colors can give you courage or power where nothing else can? Or do you have a piece of clothing in your closet to accomplish this feeling? What do you think of my color combination? Do you or have you had a situation at work that makes you question everything? Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

What I Wore To Get Through Today:
Purple Tank: Wal-Mart
Yellow Top: Alloy
Skinny Jeans: Dots
Purple Pumps: Target
Earrings: beauty supply
Ring: Charming Charlie
Necklace: forgot…

DOTD: And the award for worst blogger ever goes to…

Hola Divas…
I have completely fallen off my blogging game… I want to blog but lately I’ve been sooo swamped at work that I just can’t seem to find the time/desire. Now this week has also been bad because I have a double ear infection and strep throat… but I I persevered and made it to work (albeit not particularly on time). But today… after finally having a diagnosis… I decided to step up my fashion game today. I have to say this is one of my favorite outfits in a while. I felt like all the pieces seemed to come together effortlessly.

Now I need you to ignore the fact that I am makeup-less and that my face is swollen (yea… its that bad). But focus on my first piece ever purchased from Macy’s and my awesome shoes that I love. And also today was the first outdoor picture and I hope there will be many more to come…

Now that I truly intend to stay connected… What have I missed in the blogsphere? Have you blogged any outfits or content that you really want me to check out? Leave a comment with a link below *smiles*
~hasta la proxima~ besitos

P.S. Did you notice I’m wearing one of my new favorite colors? CORAL!!!

What I Wore While Really Not Feeling Well:
Sheer Batwing Top: Soprano (Macy’s)
Crop Challis Pants: Forever21+
Shoes: ShoeDazzle
Watch/Necklace/Earrings: Charming Charlie
Ring: Dots
Bracelets: Lane Bryant 
Sunglasses: Coach

MOTD: Your Help Is Needed

I love makeup… yes I do… And I realized recently that I love makeup and that I want to do it professionally. So now I have to send in a picture and a application to a makeup artistry program. But I am having the worst time figuring out which picture to send….

So this is where my wonderful readers come in… help me pick a picture… please?

See why it is so hard? Not to mention I suck at decision making… And which closed eye picture should I send?
