The heatwave in the NYC area was too real! Trying to pick out outfits was a real struggle but this skort from Express (yes there are shorts underneath) was perfect. The light and flowy material made the super hot day bearable while still looking cute. I paired it with a white crop top from Asos and this cute statement necklace from Express. The necklace may have been a little too much for a day of just walking around but hey I love a good statement necklace. Besides there are no rules when it comes to fashion, right? Lol

It was too damn hot to be dragging around my every day purse so I opted for this Michael Kors crossbody. I love the vibrant blue color and I thought it went well with the blue theme of the outfit. Since there was already too much going on with the outfit, I wanted to keep the shoes simple decided on these Steven Madden lace ups.

Thanks for stopping by ❤

Back At It Again With the Long Vest

June 3, 2016dressingupdari Leave a comment

The temperature cooled down just a tad bit for us here in the NYC area. I felt like it was the perfect weather to bring back this long sleeveless vest I featured in my Instagram for Mother’s Day. I love how it glams up any outfit I wear it with effortlessly. I liked the combination of the all black outfit and the olive color of the vest.

Now I have to admit, my favorite part of my outfit are my shoes! I had been lusting over these Sam Edelman Yates sandals for over a year but could never bring myself to spend that amount of money on a pair of shoes. I was browsing on Hautelook several months ago and to my surprise they were selling them for a very good deal. I love how great the sandals look paired up with the red purse (which I also got from Hautelook!) Hautelook is one of my favorite sites to shop. You can find great stuff at amazing discounted prices so if you guys have not checked them out I suggest you do! I am not being sponsored to say this by the way.

Spring Has Sprung!

May 13, 2016dressingupdari 4 Comments

The weather has finally warmed up in NYC!

I had the day off from work and wanted to soak up the warm weather. I met up with my cousin and headed downtown. We walked around Union Square and even more downtown near the Washington Square Park area. Days like this I really feel blessed to live in such a beautiful, lively city.

My day to day style is all about comfy chic and I think my outfit nailed it. The sweater I was wearing is the perfect spring staple. It is warm enough for the cool spring days but light enough for the warm afternoons. I actually own this sweater in beige and black as well.

The heels were definitely my favorite part of the outfit. I got these nude, caged heels from Aldos and am so happy with my purchase. The color is the perfect nude for me and it is something I can wear with pretty much anything. The shoes are actually very comfortable to walk in which makes them even better. I know I will be living in these all spring and summer. What are your spring must haves?

Denim on denim has got to be one of my favorite outfit combos. Pair with a bright lip and leopard clutch and you got yourself a winner in my book. This outfit was comfy enough for an afternoon stroll in the park, yet chic enough for happy hour right after.

Let us not forget about these Steve Madden lace up sandals. Perfect way to add a little something to your outfits whether it be shorts or dresses. The color makes it easy to pair with basically anything. Definitely will try to get more use out of them before the cold weather arrives.
