F2F Week: Jewel Tones

Dress| Fashion to Figure
Belt| Torrid
Jewelry| NYC Street Vendor


Good Morning Lovies!!!!
This week has been a dreary one in NY. Overcasted rainy days. Still and yet I have attempted to shift my mood with adding splashes of color to my wardrobe. Today I went with more of a pool of color versus the splash. lol
.
The Adelle Wrap Dress from Fashion To Figure .

 The dress features a wrap front (which is great for fuller a bossom) and a tulip hem. It's jewel toned and expressively printed which compliments all skintones. Which I love!!! It's moderately priced ($42.50) which makes it affordable to all. I purchased it in a size 3X.

WIth my accessories, I chose to play up the jewel tones with adding a new tone of blue/turquoise into the mix.

F2F Week: Fine as Wine

Dress| Fashion to Figure
Belt| Burlington Coat Factory


Today's Dress comes from Fashion to Figure. As a matter of fact, all of my outfits will be coming from Fashion To Figure this week. I tried to locate it on their website but as of now it isn't posted there. This dress comes in this beautiful wine color and also in black. It does have a skinny belt that accompanies it but of course I added my own touch with the chain belt (purchased years ago). I also opted for animal print accessories and sleek black pumps.
