I look through my closet, and I have so many slip dresses. I love how easy it is to wear this type of dress. Also, the variety of ways you can play around with is a plus.

Today’s post, I am going to share with you four ways to wear a slip dress. I got this Finders Keepers Cristina midi slip dress last year and wore it to one of the shows during New York Fashion Week, (Look #4). 

I love the color and the satin fabric that gives this dress a little glam feel. You can wear this dress from casual wear to a date night.

 

Below are some similar dresses I found.

four ways to wear
A SLIP DRESS

“The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.” —Hubert de Givenchy

one:
A SOLO SLIP

The first look I called it a ‘Solo Slip’ as it is a basic and a classic look where you can slip into this dress and go. For a casual style, I pair this slip dress with my VANS suede slip-on sneakers.  

 

If you want to go for a classy look, wear your slip dress with strappy heels. 

two:
ONE SHOULDER CAMI TOP

Style number two, I turned the dress to a cami top with one shoulder. I also use the long length of the skirt to tie as a big bow on the side.

This look will be a super chic and cute look for a brunch date or hanging out with your girlfriends.

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.” —Gianni Versace

three:
BANDEAU TOP:

You can turn your slip dress to a bandeau top. Here I am wearing it with a blazer for a business casual look. But if you don’t want to show your stomach, you could either button your blazer, wear a belt over the blazer, or adjust your top length to meet the waistline of your jeans. If you want it to be more fun, wear denim shorts with it will do.

four:
OVER A TOP

This fourth look I wore during Fall in New York. I paired it with my mock neck top. This look can be worn in any season as you can layer up or down as the weather goes. I am a cool, cute, casual wear lover, so I paired this slip dress with my Gucci sneakers for a cool vibe while adding some sweetness with a pink headband. 

 

“Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.” —Vivienne Westwood

How to feel happy again | Happy in Pink

How to feel happy again | Happy in Pink

Fashion, Lifestyle

Monday blues don’t always have to happen on a Monday. Whenever you feel these feelings of stress, anxiety, sadness, or lack of motivation, you might be on a Monday blues train. But wearing pink could help you cure these symptoms.

How? Read on to find out!

 

 

Lately, when I feel down, I wear pink. Because of the color, pink is thought to have a calming effect, and it does make me feel a little uplifted when wearing it.

Pink also represents compassion, nurturing, and love; that is why wearing pink can cheer you up without you knowing it.

When I was younger, I was trying to avoid pink as I thought the color was too girly and I wasn’t that girly. I wanted to show people that I am strong and I didn’t need pink in my closet. Also, I could be happy wearing darker colors. To look back at how I felt then, I can see why I was so stressed out quite often. Maybe I should have worn pink sooner. Oh, well!

Now, I love wearing all shades of pink. See here, here, here, and here.

 

Pink also could WEAKEN your ENEMY! Say What?

Sports teams sometimes paint the opposing team’s locker room pink to keep the players passive and less energetic.

The Iowa Hawkeyes famously have a pink visiting team locker room at their Kinnick Stadium. The idea for the pink locker room was conceived by Iowa coach Hayden Fry, who had majored in psychology at Baylor University and believed that the all-pink room would mess with the minds of the opposing teams.

See the below video on how pretty their locker room is.

“People who are drawn to pink (or any specific color) tend to have pleasant memories of the color, while those who don’t like it may have negative or unpleasant associations with it.”

 Pink Psychology

In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay.

Pink is feminine and romantic, affectionate and intimate, thoughtful and caring. It tones down the physical passion of red replacing it with a gentle loving energy.

Studies have confirmed that exposure to large amounts of pink can have a calming effect on the nerves and create physical weakness in people. Violent and aggressive prisoners have been successfully calmed by placing them in a pink room for a specified amount of time. Exposure for too long can have the opposite effect. – Empower-Yourself-with-Color-Psychology.com

Don’t put away your green and red outfits just yet. I am going to guide you on how to wear green and red all year round without feeling like you are still celebrating Christmas.

Read on to find out my five tips on how to style green and red all year round in this post.

 

 

 

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over, and the new year is almost here in a couple of days. Since it’s still fresh in our mind and you might still have your red and green outfits hanging somewhere you can see, I thought it would be a great idea to share how you can still wear your holiday outfits after the holidays.

So, don’t put away your green and red outfits just yet. I am going to guide you on how to wear green and red all year round without feeling like you are still celebrating Christmas.

Since green and red are such pretty colors, you would not want to only wear them for Christmas and holidays.

You can practically wear these two colors all year round, but you have to be careful when wearing them. Read along to find out how you can incorporate red and green in your everyday look.

Five Tips to Wear Green and Red All Year Round

Tip #1 : Don’t wear them together

Let’s be honest here that if red and green are paring together in an outfit, it will sure scream Christmas. So, to avoid the holiday vibe when wearing either green or red, you shouldn’t wear them together.

 

Tip #2: Wear it with animal prints

Animal prints are in for any season, so pair it up with your green or a red dress or wear it as your outerwear, will make your outfit look more stylish than looking like a holiday attire. You can choose animal prints as part of your accessories, like purse, leggings, earrings, and shoes.

Tip #3: Pair it with darker color pieces

You can wear them with a darker color like black, brown, navy blue and dark gray. These darker colors will help tone down the holiday theme.

Tip #4: Avoid glitter, gold, and sequins

You know glittery, sparkly, gold, velvet and sequins are the textures of celebrations. If you don’t want your green or red outfit to look like you are going to a holiday party. Try avoiding these elements all together when putting your outfit on.

Tip #5: Pick a different shade of red and green

This last tip is the easiest tip of all, as you can easily avoid feeling like wearing a Christmas party outfit by choosing a different shade of green or red.

For green, you can go for a light green, olive, pastel green, and army green instead of an emerald or forest green.

For red, you can wear burgundy, wine, berry, rust, or brick red, instead of bright red, crimson, or ruby red.

3 Ways to Wear A Green Dress | Last-Minute Christmas Outfit Ideas

3 Ways to Wear A Green Dress | Last-Minute Christmas Outfit Ideas

Fashion, Lifestyle

If you are looking for different ways to wear the same green dress this holiday or any occasion throughout the year, today I have a new post exactly that to share with you.

I picked my green dress as I was wearing it repeatedly and it’s a perfect holiday color.

Find out how I style it in this post.

 

 

Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress

Either it is an emerald green dress or any other colored dress, you would be able to use my three ways on how to wear the same dress on repeat. 

Since Christmas is coming up next week and you might look to get some ideas to work around your favorite holiday clothing without wearing it the same way over and over again. Or you don’t want anyone to spot out that you just wore that dress last week! I get it! I don’t like that kind of comment either.

Trust me, I don’t like when people remember what I already wore but I also don’t like buying new clothes to try to impress people either. If you have the same problems like me, you might be interested in reading this post as I will show you how I wore my emerald green dress three different ways.

The simple rules we are doing here are:

1) Wearing it as it is with some fun accessories.

2) Covering it up with an oversized jacket.

3) Don’t wear it as a dress but instead wearing it as a top.

I really love my square neck dress but the one in this post is old and sold out so I am linking a few of the same styled dresses below.

One: Green Dress with Lace

Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress

Style #1

Instead of wearing your emerald green dress alone without any accessories, I recommend wearing it with a belt and add some sexiness by wearing a pair of lace tights. These two accessories will help draw people’s attention to them instead of drawing attention to your old dress that you have worn many times. They will surely be conversation pieces people bring up to chat about.

My tights are from GUCCI and my belt is from Nasty Gal.

 

Two: Jacket over Green Dress

Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress

Covering your emerald green dress up with an oversized jacket or a long coat is another way that you can wear your dress with confidence as the outerwear will be the statement piece of your outfit. So, you don’t need to worry about people remembering the clothing that you’re wearing so many times already.

Three: Green Dress as A Top

Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress
Green Dress, Emerald Green Dress

Style #3

I love wearing a dress as a top because it serves more purposes than just being a dress. A few tricks here are; 1) if it’s a short dress you can tuck it in normally as if it’s a tee, and 2) if it’s a long dress, you can fold it into half or to the right length you prefer, then tuck only the edge of the folding part in, to make your dress look like a normal length blouse, not all tuck in as it will look like you stuffed a lot of fabric underneath your pants. Got it?!

What Are Smart Goals

SMART Goals are goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based. They are more detailed and specific to one thing, so that it is more apparent to what you want to do. 

 Having SMART goals allows you to have a better chance of achieving your goals. When you have a very generic goal of “Be more active,” you are not giving yourself a clear way to achieving your goal.

An example of a SMART goal would be, “I will go for a walk every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 30 minutes for the next three months.“

S: Specific: Go for a walk

M: Measurable: For 30 minutes

A: Achievable: Walk every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

R: Realistic: Go for a walk, not climb a mountain!

T: Time-Based: For the next three months.

Quick Tips to Achieve Your Goals

1. Write down your goals

Do you know that when you have your goals written down, you are much more likely to achieve your goals than only thinking about them.

There was interesting research conducted in 1979 on the Harvard Business School graduating class to assess how written and planned-for goals effect later outcomes in life.

The graduating class was asked a single question about their goals in life. The question was: Have you set written goals and created a plan for their attainment? 

Prior to graduation, it was determined that:

  • 84% of the entire class had set no goals at all
  • 13% of the class had set written goals but had no concrete plans
  • 3% of the class had both written goals and concrete plans

The results 10 years later were:

The 13% of the class that had set written goals but had not created plans, were making twice as much money as the 84% of the class that had set no goals at all.

However, the 3% of the class that had both written goals and a plan, were making ten times as much as the rest of the 97% of the class.

How interesting and fascinating, right?

2. Set a plan for each of your specific goals 

By setting an action plan for each of your goals will make you be more specific on what action you will have to take to be able to accomplish your goals.

It acts as a road map to your success as it will show exact steps and ways to get to your goals.

You can always adjust them as you go. 

By writing down your goals and putting them in a plan, you will be able to remind yourself and keep yourself going until you’ve achieved your goals.
