Polka Dots and a Cuff Giveaway!

I'm so tired of wearing jeans and sweaters and boots! It's been so cold that I feel like I wear the same outfit everyday but in different colors!

Not today though! I decided to change it up and wear one of my favorite dresses but winterize it wearing a jacket, boots and tights. I'm playing along with Pinned It, Spinned It today and I'm loving this combo! 





Dress- Eva Mendes for New York and Company (old)
Jacket- Banana Republic (last fall)
Faux fur and belt- Target (last year)
Boots- DSW (old)


Notice my cuff bracelet? You guys! I'm giving one away on the blog! Right here! I am loving this company called Trades of Hope that I was just introduced to by a compassionate entrepreneur, Pam Arnett. This bracelet is just one of the many accessories and items that are available for purchase. 

Trades of Hope is a company that was started in 2010 to empower and give jobs to women around the world. Poverty is the root of a lot of problems. Slavery and sex trafficking happen all over the world. Mothers are forced to give up their children to orphanages while other parents watch their children die from starvation or sickness. At Trades of Hope, the founders and entrepreneurs work to change lives for the better. They look to empower women to be the heroes of their own stories. By purchasing items from this company, you help to eradicate poverty around the world. Such a great cause and there are so many awesome things available for purchase! 

So, I decided to team up with Pam and give one of you a bracelet like mine! Do the rafflecopter thingy at the side of the post - you get lots of chances to win! 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

    Beautiful! Trafficking is a heinous crime that needs to be spotlighted. When fashion and education are combined, the end result is beautiful.

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
