We all have that one outfit that is simple and understated but makes us feel amazing. A few pieces put together can help lift your spirits, or at least mine it does mine!

It can be something as simple as wearing your favorite pair of heels with a t-shirt and jeans, or a sexy new bra and panty set under a typical every day work outfit. You’ll know you’ve got something sexy going on underneath and it can really bring a smile to your face.

I love this set below. Simple and understated, but man those heels really help pull this outfit out of an ordinary day look.

Time Out

 

Other accessories can help bring that spark to a normal outfits; a new statement necklace, or a new purse, maybe even a gorgeous new color on your lips.
Share with me ladies; what is your favorite way to jazz up an ordinary outfit and put a spring in your step?

Let’s bring it on back to some beautiful lingerie on the blog today ladies. It can be tough to find a style of lingerie that fits every body shape, but there is one universal piece and that’s what we’re gonna chat about today.

A chemise is a beautiful slip piece of lingerie. Usually made of satin, these are soft and delicate, but can also be lacy and see through. You can usually find a matching robe or kimono to accompany your chemise.

A matching robe can really add to the look of your chemise. Some woman aren’t comfortable in just the chemise so the accompanying robe is a great choice.
I feel this type of lingerie fits every body style because it’s not figure hugging for those who do not want that look, but for those that do there certainly are lace pieces. The straps are adjustable on these so if you need a bit of extra support you can adjust them for your girls.
The satin chemise and robe are a great choice for your boudoir shoot and for the bedroom (or behind closed doors). This is a very popular style for bridal lingerie too. Don’t forget your stilettos!
What do you think ladies, is this your style? With robe, or without robe? Satin or lace?

I have to admit, I love a bit of the vintage look when it comes to lingerie. While I can appreciate all the tiny, itty bitty pieces of today’s lingerie, I adore the classic look. Long, flowy gowns; fuller, longer bottom pieces, and some vintage lace.

Adding elbow length gloves to your sexy bra & panty set is a great idea and can really add that vintage feel. Wearing stockings with your vintage panty set it another way to add a classic look. A long classic gown (can you picture it from a classic black & white movie!) is so beautiful. Picture yourself stretched out in a door frame wearing that; so hot!
Another vintage looks that I love and can appreciate is garters! I love the wide garter belts, or the high panties that have the garter hooks built in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with the time we live in and that I don’t have to dress like that daily, but love this look for a boudoir shoot or special evening.

What do you feel about the vintage look ladies? Like or dislike? Do you have any lingerie or wardrobe pieces that have a vintage look to them?

I wanna talk about a new trend I’ve been seeing that I adore; lacy bralettes. These cute little guys are all over but today I wanna touch on the ones available at Target. They are comfy, sexy, and inexpensive; especially when you take into account that they are currently on sale buy one get one half off.

I’m sure you’ve seen the bra’s I’m talking about. They scream summer and are great for those tank tops that are cut a bit too different for a traditional bra. Bralettes are a great choice because if you’re gonna show your bra it might as well be something cute.

Target bralette
I love that Target has some different options. The mint green has a beautiful lace detail on the racerback while the black bra can transform from a regular back to a racerback. The lace on the front is pretty as well. I like that the pink is more of a traditional bra (in case you are not a fan of lacy things!) plus the pink gives more support that a traditional bralette gives, which lets be honest, is slim to none.
One more photo of a few more I wanted to point out. Target has traditional cotton ones as well that seem to offer more support. There are more lacy options that have a little bit of a lace band under the bust, then there is also a keyhole front with a bit of sheer material.
Target bralettes

 

You can pretty much find any type of bralette at Target, and other stores. But let’s face it, who doesn’t have at least one Target within a 5 mile radius. What’s your favorite of the ones I’ve posted? Have you seen a favorite from somewhere else? Do you already have some and wear them? What’s your style to wear them? I wanna hear you ladies!

I love being able to wear the same wardrobe piece throughout different seasons, but it can be hard to transform it.  Today I’m gonna touch on different ideas on how to wear the same staple piece each season.

Your first step is to find a great staple wardrobe piece. Today I’m using a spaghetti strap dress as an example.

One Dress, Four Seasons

 

Let’s start with the top left look, Winter. A beautiful jewel toned heave scarf paired with a pair of knee length boots is such a great way to wear this dress during the cold season. Wearing some tights for a bit of extra warmth would be a great addition.
Spring means you can wear the dress almost without a sweater, but you know those Spring evenings can still be a bit chilly. A lightweight sweater helps to transform this look into something for this season.
Ah Summer, the time where you can really wear this without a jacket, however the jean jacket is a great option for a cooler summer day. A pair of strappy wedges helps this dress to scream summer.
Autumn, Fall, whatever you wanna call it. With a slight chill in the air, you’ll probably want to wear a light jacket for some warmth. A light scarf is a great accessory and some ankle booties are a great footwear choice. I would add some leggings too if it’s a bit cooler in your area.
What would your staple wardrobe piece be that you can transform throughout all 4 seasons? What would be your favorite ways to wear it each season? Share some photos of your ideas with me!
