Emoji Meets Carrie

Dress: thrifted (similar here) | Shoes: Marc Fisher (sold out, similar here) | Bag: Kate Spade (sold out, similar here) | Earrings: Nadri (sold out, similar here)

I call this look my "dancing girl emoji meets Carrie Bradshaw" moment. I wore this ensemble to my school's student recognition and achievement awards show. I felt like getting dressed up for the occasion, so I chose a red beaded slip dress that looks exactly like the one the emoji girl wears. Leopard heels, sparkly gold hoops, a black mini bag, a sleek pony and red lipstick elevate the outfit to a Carrie Bradshaw level. If Carrie had emojis, you know her favorite would be the dancing one. Here's to being inspired by icons.

Winter Formal

Dress: thrifted (similar here) | Capelet: thrifted | Heels: ASOS | Earrings: Nadri (sold out, similar here)

The holiday season is in full swing. Christmas is just five days away and New Year's is right around the corner. If you are going someplace *fancy* or just want to dress up, this look may give you some inspiration. I wore my velvet gown and faux fur capelet to my school's Yule Ball last weekend. (Yes, my college is low-key Hogwarts.) I felt like getting all dressed up for the occasion, because how often can you wear a look like this? 

When it comes to winter formal wear, I'm all about velvet. It's luxurious and warm. I found my black velvet gown at Goodwill. I highly recommend scouring your local thrift store for a fancy find. What I love most about this dress is how classic it is. I feel like Audrey Hepburn in it. Black pointed toe heels, sparkly hoop earrings, red lipstick, and a capelet complete the outfit. I'm winter formal ready.
