Fit and Flare with a Blazer

 Outfit Details:

blazer:

dress: White House Black Market thrifted

shoes: INC via Macys

belt: Forever 21

I wore this outfit to a baby shower back in the Spring and never posted it! Granted these are only my Note 4 phone pics, but I thought I would share it with you all regardless.

Whenever I wear this fit and flare style I like to always add a belt because it helps to elongate my  just that little bit more so that it looks flattering. This woven black and white belt is one that I have had for at least 6 years and works with so many of my outfits when I need to add a belt to cinch things in! If you have a shorter waist and need help elongating it to that you can sport the fit and flare looks as well get yourself a great go-to wide belt! Here are some options for you to check out:

I got this dress so long ago because when I tried it on, I was so freakin' excited that I fit into a size 4!!! It was a tiny bit of a squeeze getting into it for this shoot but I did it!! The bottom portion of the dress is just a black fitted pencil skirt attached to the leopard printed bodice. To change it up I chose to pair it with this gold skirt I got from Piperlime. Funky combination, right?!

To take the funk to the next level I added these striped platform sandals! This was definitely out of the norm for me and I loved every minute of it!

Since I have seriously been trying to limit my clothing shopping, I have started to get a bit tired of some of my clothing. To get out of this rut, I have been doing things like this, which has helped tremendously!

What do you do to add spice to your wardrobe?
