Just call me dottie

Closet peek :) I've never done a closet tour before, have I?

Sweater - Old Navy (similar, similar), Skirt - Express (similar), Heels - Zara (similar), Bag - J. Crew Factory, Necklace - stella & dot, Ring - YSL lapis arty, Nails - O.P.I Lincoln Park at Midnight

I didn't really come up with this outfit myself. After admiring several similar looks from the beautiful Veronika (including this one), I decided to use pieces already hanging in my closet to create a pretty Friday night outfit. Not only did I finally get the chance to pull out my Old Navy sweater, but I also incorporated a vibrant suede bag. On mega sale, it is an exact match to my mona suede pumps! I love taking style cues from other ladies, I know I've mentioned that before. Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I think so. I observe, I admire, and I try things out for myself. It is just clothing, after all.

Sephora VIB Wishlist

With all of the confusing news about Sephora's friends and family sale this year, I was about to call it quits on getting any type of discount on the things I've been wanting lately. So many of us save and save in order to either stock up and replenish our beauty arsenals, or finally get a deal on those special items we have been coveting. Well, who knew that friends and family really IS just for friends and family? Imagine that. So many companies have these sales this time of year, and I think we've come to expect them from every store. Too bad I'm not "in" with anyone at my local Sephora! I've already made a note of that so the next time I casually stroll in there, I can be exta friendly to staff :)

However, the VIB sale is still taking place in November. I'm not completely certain on the date, so feel free to let me know in the comments. The VIB sale is still 20% off, and it is the same discount we normally get during the friends and family. Here is my current shopping list:

MUFE Mat Velvet +

The only foundation I've used for over three years. I need another bottle stat!

Lorac Baked Blush in Velvet Rope

Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer

Laura Mercier Hand Cream Set

Josie Maran Argan Balm

If you haven't tried Josie Maran, this is a great starter kit! I swear by her argan oil!

Josie Maran Bestsellers

Sephora Super Stars

Although pricey, this looks amazing!

This is just a wishlist of course! I can assure you I won't be buying all of this.

Only in my dreams...

A Bit of Bordeaux

 Blouse - Express, Jeans - Banana Republic (similar), Flats - Ivanka Trump (similar), Nails - Essie Wicked

Bag - Chanel, Heels - Guess (pretty option)

My absolute favorite combination of the moment:

Stella & Dot, Fossil Stella, Oia Jules

 I'm been bitten hard by the bordeaux, burgundy, wine, oxblood bug! I wore this silky blouse in said color with dark skinny jeans and lady-like flats while out and about last weekend. When I went to dinner in the evening, the only changes I made were my bag (previously carrying my mini mac) and I traded in the flats for a pair of sassy heels. Easy! That's really all it takes to go from day to night. Of course, a little extra swipe of lipstick and some heavier liner always helps. Whatever makes you feel good :)

How do you go from day to night?
