Hey Babes!
Today's post is all about the denim fringe jacket you never knew you needed 😁 No, but seriously - if you are a collector of denim jackets, this one may catch your eye! I have more than a few denim jackets/vests in my current inventory, however, none of them boast fringe detailing! I L💖VE how the fringe takes center stage! 
I found the fit of the jacket to be a tad too large for my taste (I'm wearing a size 0XL), so I knotted it just above my waist and styled it as a crop top 😉 This offered the exact fit that I envisioned! Always remember: In fashion, everything is fair game!
Until next time,

In the Zone: Denim on Denim

Hi there! I took a break over the long weekend (I actually 'Logged off'), and now I am back in action and fully rejuvenated :) Stepping away from social media and such from time to time are essential for me. 
There are moments in life that are best enjoyed in the moment, and savored - versus captured, and or 'liked'. I hope that you too were able to spend time with people you love, creating wonderful memories!

Notice anything different? You guessed it, I dyed my hair! I was a blonde for 4-5 years (all over, not highlights or streaks), basically until I got bored with it. After a good break from it, I started to crave a blonde streak again. So, over the weekend I picked up the needed supplies and gave myself a new look, including a two inch trim ;)

Today's look is a twist on the standard denim on denim approach. I scored this combo at Nordstrom Rack.

Although each piece is from separate brands, they actually compliment one another well. 

Betsey Johnson accessories added another dimension of fun to the fit;I capped off the look with Michael Kors leopard print stilettos.

It's a perfect ensemble for an evening out on the town.

Here in Los Angeles summer temperatures generally cool down in the evenings, and it can even get somewhat nippy.

Well my lovlies, that's all I have for today. Until next time!

Thrift Store Score: Michael Kors Tie Dye Maxi Dress

I'm soaking up the rays in this vibrant, tie dye maxi dress!
Would you believe that it is a original InMyJoi #ThriftStoreScore ?!

I'll openly admit, I'm not a huge fan of long dresses or skirts on my body. Why? Well, for one thing, I am short, and for two, I'm on the thick side ;) In my opinion, they can easily camouflage my frame, and cause me to look not only shorter but also dumpy =( 
Nonetheless, despite my apprehension and personal preference, several long dresses/skirts have inched their way into my wardrobe! (See here, here, and here)

This maxi dress caused me to look past my apprehensions because of the fresh colors and ruffle detail.

I wore it last week while on a getaway with my husband.

Side note: When I first bought this dress (a few years back), my husband actually brought it to my attention that it is supposed to be worn off the shoulders-LOL!

It was a great fit for vacation. It's lightweight, and 100% cotton. 

As the temperatures soared past 110 degrees Fahrenheit, I was cool, calm, and collected =)

Tie Dyed in Lace: Debuting a New 'Do'

 Whenever I'm in the mood to switch up my do, I head over to Pinterest. This look was inspired by a pin that I previously pinned to my Naturalosity board. 

It was quite easy and quick to do. I made five separate ponytails. I used coconut oil and mango butter for moisture. From each ponytail I divided the hair into two sections. One section was rolled upward (facing my forehead), and the other section was rolled downward (facing my nape). I used bobby pins to secure into place, and that was that!

On to my look: If you follow me on Instagram you know that I debated on purchasing these jeans a few weeks ago. I ended up getting them along with a matching shirt. I wasn't feeling a denim on denim look this go round, so I paired them with a black lace top instead. I added matching tie dye platforms and a fun clutch.
