Leopard Skirt & Last Minute Xmas
Just a few more days until Christmas. Do you have all of your shopping done yet? I don't. Amazon Prime has saved me this year because I have been able to purchase many things last minute without needing to go into any crowded stores. My Prime membership has more than paid off.
My leopard-print skirt is from Body Central. The belt came with the skirt. My sister introduced me to the store, and I instantly fell in love with it. The black tights are from Forever 21. They have the best prices for stockings. My shoes are from H&M. I'm about to let them go because they are getting beat up. Boo! My top is also from Forever 21. It's a black, scoop-neck, long-sleeve top. My boyfriend's Grammie gave me the vest. It's a crocheted, flowy vest, and I do not know where she purchased it.
I have a few more gifts to buy, but I know exactly what I am getting. If you're struggling with last minute gift ideas, I recommend a cute monogram mug from Anthropologie; flash tattoos for the golden girl; dip clips for the foodie; a cool pillow for the sleepless; key and wallet finder; a breakfast tray; simple earphones; incense, and yummy, classic bubble bath. Of course, I could list ideas all day, but these are some of the things I am gifting this year. Feel free to share some of the items you are giving away this year. God bless!

Thursday Outfit & Xmas Shopping
This morning I had an appointment at the orthodontist, and I found out I will get my braces off in four weeks. Thanksgiving was my two years mark, and the orthodontist had it right when he said it would be a late Christmas present, because that is how it feels. I'm so relieved it is almost over. I am going to miss talking to the assistants about my Jo Malone perfume.
It was another morning of rushing out the door, and I chose a brown/green pair of skinny pants from Forever 21. I love how unique the color is in different lighting. You can find these pants for around $13 at different times of the year.
I'm wearing Uggs with this outfit. I asked for these last Christmas, so they are pretty new. These are the tall boots, and I love rolling them up and down so the fur shows in different bits. I'm crossing my fingers for a pair of slippers in the future.
My top is a Woolrich men's, button-up flannel my boyfriend found while thrifting. I love how warm it is, and who doesn't love an over-sized, boyfriend shirt? This was a very slouchy outfit, and looked cute peeking out from under my light pink, double-breasted coat.
I worked on Christmas cards and shopping today. I have almost all of my shopping done. This is the last weekend before Christmas, so everyone hurry up! I was going to get my Christmas present early today, but the stores sold out at all five Wal-Marts. My boyfriend tried hard to get the present, but it worked out better because now it will be here on Christmas instead of early. I can't wait to share what I gave away and what I got for Christmas. Until tomorrow...

Wednesday's Outfit
So it's humpday. There are two weeks left in the year, and I am excited for what the next year has to offer. I don't always make resolutions, but I like to think of it as a new beginning. A new year of fresh things and ideas.
Today I tried something I have never done before. I saw an outfit on Pinterest that inspired me to put this together. Every time I use Pinterest for fashion, I get so inspired.
My top is a black, scoop-neck, crop top from Nordstroms. I bought it last summer to wear with a high-waisted, pencil skirt. I love how this crop top fits, but I don't think to wear it very often because I am shy to show my mid-region. I have on a white, long sleeve, button up shirt from Forever 21. It puffed out at the waist and sleeves, but I liked how it looked. I wish I would have ironed my shirt, but it always gets wrinkled from sitting in an office chair all day.
I wore blue, pinstripe pants from Stein Mart. I wear these a lot because they fit great, and I like how they look for the office. I also bought a light blue pair, but they don't fit the same even though they are the same size and brand.
I wore these shoes last week, but I bought them from H&M last Christmas-time. This will only be the third or fourth time I've worn them. I lost them for awhile in my suitcase. Don't ask me how I missed them, but my suitcase has a lot of compartments.
Anyway, I enjoyed sharing today's outfit. When I wake up every morning, I look forward to what outfit I feel like wearing and sharing it with everyone. I've been wanting to do this for a very long time, so I hope my excitement and passion shows.

Tuesday's Outfit & Xmas Shopping
Happy Tuesday y'all!
I chose another outfit I couldn't capture every detail of in one picture, so I added a few to this post today. My shoes are the center of attention, again, today. I bought these from Ruche, and wore them last week to the Christmas party. I haven't worn these shoes many times, but the first time I did, I was traveling on a flight from Gunnison, Colorado to Dallas, Texas on Christmas, and they had a beating. Now I try to think of them in outfits like this.
My pants are gray, pleated, slouchy pants from Forever 21. I bought them online, and they are a bit long (I'm petite), but fit perfectly everywhere else. They have enough room that when it gets cold enough, I can wear another layer underneath.
My cardigan is from a small retailer online. I cannot remember the name of the company, but my top was about $15. I love it because of the lace detail, and you can easily pair it with a skirt or shorts. I'm also a huge fan of mint, so I had to have this cardigan.
I'm still working on my Christmas shopping. I would like to plan ahead better next year, and get more shopping done earlier, but sometimes I just love waiting for the sales around Christmas. I don't always have the extra money, but this year I did start a gift box where I gathered little presents throughout the year to hand out at birthdays or Christmas. A few gifts came in yesterday and today from Amazon, which amazed me with their super quick Prime shipping. I love it! It was so hard not giving my boyfriend his presents, but they are now wrapped and sitting under the tree where I will do my best not to think of them for the next week. In the meantime, I'm still looking for the best practical gifts I can. Until tomorrow...

Monday's Outfit & Update
I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. I'm officially finished with school! It is such a relief to spend a Monday worrying about cleaning up after my house full of creatures, and focusing on my fashion.
I slept in a little later than I meant to this morning, so I threw on something quickly before heading into work. Today I went for comfort. My sweater was passed down from my mother. I'm not sure on the exact age of this sweater, but I know it is fairly old. It shouldn't be too difficult finding a chunky, cable-knit, turtleneck sweater in stores. It is so comfy, and worth the buy. Similar and slouchier here.
I wore my Ruche oxford heels with this outfit. I also wore Forever 21 wide legs jeans. The whole outfit was a bit slouchy today, but I thought the oxfords and jewels added an elegant touch. I was warm and comfortable all day.
This weekend I was busy with a critter problem, so I never made it in for my manicure. I plan on fixing my nails tonight or tomorrow, and then soon enough heading over to Pampered Soles for my manicure. Sometimes I have to make sacrifices for these animals, but I love them nonetheless. Until tomorrow...

Friday's Outfit
I had a pretty hectic Friday, cleaning up a little mess my prissy cats created, and a bit of a pest problem with my dogs. Needless to say, TGIF! I threw together a little something for y'all on this festive second to last Friday before Christmas.
I was inspired by a candy-cane striped, button-up blouse my boyfriend gave me. The top is from Ann Taylor Loft, but my boyfriend found it while thrifting. I think it makes a great holiday shirt. On top of that, I wore a red, button-up, double-pocket cardigan from Forever 21. For the final touch, I wore a silver statement necklace because I am really into the metallics this winter.
At first I was going to wear a skirt or pants with this outfit, but in the end I decided I liked the black tights and shorts best. My tights are from Forever 21, and my shorts are Express Stretch. Similar here. I also wore my black H&M pointed stiletto booties. The weather was mild, so I could get away with an outfit like this in Dallas.
I finished my third final exam today. My last one is due on Sunday. My doggies get groomed in the morning, and I'm heading to Pampered Soles to get some of my own pampering, then lunch. Photos to follow. Be sure to check my Instagram account @dressdynamicdallas. Have a great weekend!

Christmas Party Outfit
I was invited to a Christmas Party this evening, and am so excited to share what I wore. This isn't the first time I have wore this outfit, but I did change it up with different jewelry and hairstyle, plus I never wore it in front of so many people before, nor shared it online.
Everything in the photo was purchased at Ruche about two years ago. I saw the outfit in their lookbook, and basically copied it. It is so adorable.
The shoes are green and purple. I wouldn't think to match all of these pieces, but I love how it looks, and I have been given so many compliments on the combination. They are wedge heels, which is also one of my other favorite things to wear. These are so great because they look vintage.
My skirt is also the perfect respectable length for gatherings with all age groups. I love the pattern, and how the ivory looks lacy on top of the red. The waist is what is best about this skirt because it has a thick elastic band that doesn't fit too tight, but it feels great compared to some zipper waist skirts. I feel like I could wear it all day.
The top is really the center of attention of this outfit, and I am so sad I did not include a photo, but I might wear it again this year. My top has black lace sleeves, and a lace open back with black bows that go up the spine. The black lace material has a gold shimmer thread woven throughout it, which is so pretty in the light. Since I'm taking all of my own fashion photos at this time, it can be difficult with the phone I own to take full outfit shots. In the future I hope to include more angles of my outfits.
This is my second year attending this particular Christmas party at my boyfriend's mother's home. She has such a gorgeous and inviting home. I love being at her house, especially around Christmas time because she goes all out. This year there were three Christmas trees! I didn't stay as long as last year, but the house was buzzing when I left. She is such a wonderful hostess! I forgot her gift at home, but I will be surprising her with it on Christmas.
I wore my hair in a slightly messy bun with one of those fun donut hair pieces. I also wore these huge, vintage, gaudy, fake diamond and pearl earrings. I'm about to post a picture of them on Instagram. They were purchased to use in my jewelry designs, but I couldn't bear to take them apart. My make-up was done with white eyeshadow on my water-line and in the corners of my eyes. On my lips I wore a berry lipstick from Forever 21 from my Ipsy bag.
I'm going to be stepping it up with blog posts from here until at least January 20th when school starts back up again. I will do my best to keep posting every week, but make sure to follow my Instagram (@dressdynamicdallas), since I do most of my posting there. Anywho, tata for now.
-xoxo-

Thursday's Outfit
I hope everyone is having a lovely week. I'm so excited this is OFFICIALLY the last week of school. One more semester, and this girl will finally be finished with her first bachelor degree. Go me!
Today's outfit was so much fun. I don't wear these shoes very often because they make such a statement, I like to chose the right moments. I didn't wear them to the Christmas Party like I originally planned, but they were great to wear to work for some festive fun. I bought these shoes last year from H&M. They were on sale, so they were a steal. I saw them in one of the ladies fashion magazines, and I was so happy to score them.
I bought my leggings at Marshall's a few months ago. I bought them specifically for Christmas time, so I have been waiting to wear them. I love how warm they are, and they have an adorable print, if you can't really make it out in the photo. And to be honest, I think they were like $10 or $15, so it was meant to be.
I was also wearing a long sleeve, white, slightly sheer, button-up blouse. I was having a hard time deciding whether to wear it partially tucked in or not. I bought the top from Forever 21.
In my next post I will describe the outfit I wore to the Christmas Party. It was so fun! I wish I had a full image of what I wore, but there were so many details. It kept morphing before I walked out the door, so I would have probably needed a photographer following me around. Until then...

Wednesday's Outfit and Week Update
I am feeling so inspired because of Christmas coming up. It's so inspirational! I just love this time of year!
I bought my pants at Tommy Hilfiger earlier this year on my trip to New York. It was such an exciting experience! I am obsessed with Gossip Girl, and at the time I started reading the books, so I was having even more fun. I went to many of the places I saw in the show, such as the Russian Tea Room from when Georgina meets up with the crook Poppy Lipton, and the men's Ralph Lauren store from the episode where Nate is sleeping with Duchess and she buys him something spiffy. Oh I do love New York!
My shoes are from Ruche. I am obsessed with the vintage-classic look of all of their clothing. These shoes were a spontaneous purchase because as soon as I saw them, I purchased them no matter the cost. They were actually purchased together with the plaid skirt I wore a few days ago. I love oxfords, especially these because they have a heel. I'm short, so I typically go for heels.
The shirt I purchased at Forever 21. I have been trying to purchase tops that are versatile, as opposed to in the past where I would purchase a top because it's lovely and bold, and then I have limited outfits to wear it with. This shirt is so billowy and silky. I love the button detail in the front.
My pearls are also not real. They are play jewels, but they look cute. I love layering them alone or with other jewels.
If you liked this outfit, or you want to know more, leave a comment below. I'd love to have feedback. I'm so excited to be sharing all of my outfits. It's something I have been longing to do, and I have a passion for it. Please enjoy my fashion expressions.
-xoxo-

Tuesday's Outfit
I had a bit of a hectic week so far, so I am posting two outfits today. The outfit above has a boho, streetstyle feel to it. My job allows what I call "cowboy casual," so I can get away with outfits like this.
I wear the fringe shirt all year long, and my mother bought it for me last year at Body Central. They have a lot of inexpensive items, so I really enjoy shopping there. Shoes and jewelry are especially a bargain.
The booties I also bought on a trip home to see my family. I can't remember what the name of the shoe store was called, but it was basically like a DSW store. The booties are just basic tan and zip up on the side.
I bought the tank top at Ruche. It has such beautiful embroidery, and I like the way it hangs in the front. I like to purchase items from the sale section at Ruche. Every now and again you can find some steals.
I also found my pants at Forever 21. They are a greenish brown color. I happen to purchase a lot of Forever 21 pants. I like the price, but I often have issues with the length since I'm short. They are worth it when you get a pair for $12, though.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this outfit. If you have any questions or requests, feel free to leave a comment below. I also love suggestions. Have a blessed day!

Monday's Outfit & Christmas
My Monday was a nice mellow day like I like em. I put on this adorable outfit I love to wear all year round (w/ shorts in the summer and boots), and I stopped into Top Pot Doughnuts to pick up some treats for everyone in the office. I ordered the peppermint chocolate donut, which I found interesting yet tasty. The coffee is also DELISH!
The sweater wrap I bought at Tobi a few years ago, and it ties around the waist, but I like to tie it behind my back. It looks cuter. Similar here. My sweet boyfriend also let me use his gift card a few years ago to Marshall's where I scored these adorable booties. Similar here. You can see a bit of my purple socks peeking out, but that wasn't intended. My pants are from Nordstrom's. I also wore a black t-shirt under the sweater wrap.
I snapped the picture above quickly out on a walk with my dogs, Tiki and Odessa. I just love these shoes, and I never think to take pictures when I'm out walking my dogs. I'm sure I look funny, but it kills two bird with one stone, as they say. You can see the booties are a little beat up since I wear them so much in the fall. They are very comfortable.
This week is off to a wonderful start. I began my Christmas card adventure tonight. It's not something I remember to do every year, but this year I want to remember everyone. I also put my first Christmas present under our cute little tree. There is a Christmas party on Thursday I am invited to attend, so I was excited when the package arrived today with the hostess's gift. She will be so pleased! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Monday, and I look forward to what the rest of the week has to bring.

DIY Gifts That Never Get Old
![]() |
| Via here |
This year I made a photo book for someone's birthday of all of the things we did together as a family, and other special moments in our relationship. There were many hours dedicated to things like colors, fonts, and photo placement, but it was worth the effort. I used a Groupon code to purchase an inexpensive photo book from an online photo ordering website. Although my book was more expensive than I planned, I also learned there are other photo websites with legitimate savings. So don't back out! You can also go to any photo editing software or Powerpoint, and create a slide show with music. I made one of these slide shows for my mother on Mother's day, and she definitely enjoyed it so much she cried.
In my last post I wrote about a pressed flower iPhone case I am working on. I also make jewelry with a similar concept, where I take pre-cut shapes of glass, and glue to the back pictures I trim from magazines. I've given away many necklaces and earrings with this design, and received many compliments. Check out my Etsy shop for an example of what the jewelry will look like. You can also use larger pieces of glass and create paper weights or bookends.
There are so many DIY ideas online, I could really talk all day about it. I'm also obsessing over homemade advent calenders and 12-days-of-Christmas idea. Check out this Pinterest board for some advent calender ideas. Also, check out this Popsugar post about the best DIY gifts. Let me know if you have any suggestions for DIY gifts.

Mondays Are Best Short With Lots of Coffee
![]() |
| Via here |
I also did a little online shopping this weekend, and earlier today. I've been needing a new pair of black heels because I wear them so often, they get way past their prime. Since I go through heels so quickly, I don't like to spend very much on them. I've learned that it's best to have at least two pairs of heels in nude and black--one pair for work and another for nice occasions. I like to shop at 6pm, and I find inexpensive heels I always love. Today they had an extra 15% off coupon, so bought these babies.
I've also been in need of a better shampoo, so I used my birthday coupon code for 15% off their PRX Reparatives shampoo. I have not tried it before, but I know their other shampoos work well. I also have a ton of conditioner, so for now I only bought the shampoo. A few months ago I went to the Fredrick Fekkai here in Dallas, and I really enjoy my haircut. I have received several compliments, and I look forward to going back many more times.
I'm also a huge fan of homemade gifts. One of my ideas this year, besides jewelry, is one given to me by the person I am gifting it to. I received an email one day with this adorable DIY craft idea on Etsy for making your own pressed flower iPhone case. I usually save my bouquets, and let them dry out. I also have some vintage pressed flowers from a craft store I would love to combine to create one of these lovely gifts. I purchased a clear iPhone 5 case from Amazon for less than two dollars. Light bulb! I'm thinking because I love DIY crafts so much, I will have to share a blog post in the near future about some of my other DIY crafts.
I hope everyone had a blessed and joyous Monday. May your Tuesday be just as special, as well as the days that follow.

Pre-Black Friday and Weekend
![]() |
| Via here |
This week went by so fast, I can hardly believe it. Last night I took a quiz for school, and fell asleep shortly after, which was before 10PM. I'm more of a night owl, so it's always a sign when I fall asleep early. Between work and school, I can hardly keep track of the days. I'll be dedicating most of my time this weekend to cleaning and homework. I have a few more assignments and quizzes to complete, along with a paper I need to start. Oh, and I will be redoing my mani on Sunday.
Black Friday is so close, I am too excited to wait. I am so happy stores have started having sales earlier and earlier. I just can't wait! I can't wait to buy presents, and I can't wait to give them. My Yahoo account is flooded with emails with gift lists and sales. I'm too afraid to delete anything in case I miss something. Let's just say I have over 500 emails right now. My budget is limited, but a girl can dream.
Forever 21 is having pre-Black Friday deals. I believe there is a different sale every day. Modcloth is also having a similar promotion. I also love the H&M sales. Another one of my favorite stores is 6pm, and they are also having some great sales. There is a whole list of Black Friday deals here at Lucky.
I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Sunday Night Panic of Manic Mondays
![]() |
| Doesn't this make you want to relax?! |
Mondays are certainly not most people's favorite day of the week. I'm usually victim of manic Mondays, because sleep is my very best friend. It's difficult for me to wake up when my alarm first goes off. All weekend I have a hard time waking up before 8AM. My typical wake-up time is after 10AM. I know I should not allow myself to sleep-in, because it puts me back all week, but I keep doing it. I LOVE SLEEP!
So, since I am dreaming about sleep, this is a good time to talk about adorable pajamas. I spent a large quantity of my spare time shopping online this weekend, and I am drooling over thigh-high socks and over-sized t-shirts. My pajama collection is very skimpy, and it's about time I start investing in my nighttime fashion.
Jammy Jam Wish List
- Nordstrom has cute pajamas under their sale section. I've recently fallen in love with rompers, and this pajama romper is calling my name. Imagine how sassy it would look with socks of all lengths! I'm also really obsessed with adult onesies. I think they are so funny, and look really cozy. This kitty onesie is so stinking sweet. These also need to come home with me. Coffee coffee coffee!
- Forever 21 (my obsession) has affordable pajamas. I love this horse pullover, and there are pants, as well. I'm also really loving this bed+me=sleep nightie. I love my bed!
- I saw Blair in Gossip Girl wearing a similar pajama set to the set here at Shopbop. I'm so obsessed with the fashion in Gossip Girl-this will not be the last time you hear about it. I also sleep with an eye-mask every night, which is why I love this eye-mask.
- This onesie at Asos is also to die for. I'm also crazy about this long tank top. I also need a yeti robe this winter!

Weekend and Shopping Updates
| Via here
It's another mellow weekend for me. I have an assignment due on Sunday, and a few more due on Monday, so I plan to study and work on my fashion blog. Just a few more weeks left, and the semester is over. If all goes as planned, I hope to graduate by May of 2015. It's been a long journey, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am very blessed to have experienced so many wonderful things. I can't help but feel nostalgic at this very moment, because I am ready for a new chapter in life. Studying will not cease, but I do not plan on taking courses that are meant to fulfill a University-required course load. My studies will include education around my passions.
I'm also working on organizing my house. Ever since we started selling stuff on Ebay, my house has been cluttered and chaotic. I finally got it together a few weekends ago and organized my office, but since then new items have replaced the old. I can still maneuver around, so that's saying a lot. I'm also reorganizing my closet, since the weather finally dropped in Dallas. Some days it still reaches around 80 degrees, but overall it has been chilly. I'm excited for a new season, and new fashion inspiration. Check back for more fall and winter fashion articles.
|
Weekend Shopping
- Shop Ruche sale this weekend on new items and tops. 20% off new items and 40% of tops. I did try to purchase a top, but it said the code for tops was invalid. Not sure if anyone else had this problem. Love this store either way!
- Henri Bendel is having a buy 3, get one free sale on their candles this weekend only. Although I have never smelled or purchased one, they look so fun and playful for the home, or as a gift.
- Ann Taylor is having a 40% off sale for friends and family. Just sign up for their email newsletter, and you get the coupon code. Their Lookbook is adorable and inspires adorable office outfits.
- Ralph Lauren is having a 25% off cold weather sale for up to 50% off some items. There are a bunch of other sales around their website worth looking into. Love this boat-neck dress on sale.
- I'm also loving this dress over at Anthropologie. There is a 25% off dresses and jewelry sale. Don't forget to look around the other sale section. Love this sweater.

How to Save Money This Shopping Season
![]() |
| Need giant cups of coffee from Bubba's for this one. |
Last year I was so excited to shop Black Friday deals that I stayed up until about four in the morning, browsing all of my favorite online stores. Although I love a good deal, I want a great deal. I love Black Friday holiday deals, along with all of the other sales before Christmas, but I discovered you can save even more money.
Websites, such as retailmenot.com and ebates.com are both useful tools for saving even more money. Before I make any online purchases, I check to see if my Ebates is active on my browser, and then I check Retail Me Not to see if there are any coupon codes I might be able to apply to my purchase. Both Ebates and Retail Me Not have apps you can install on your phone for on the go purchases, as well.
Especially during the holidays, there are even more savings available. Throughout the year, Ebates offers double cash back at participating stores. That means 10% or more cash back. I'm a huge fan of Forever 21 because of their adorable fashion at an affordable cost. Recently, I noticed Forever 21 is no longer participating, but it used to be that I could save a few dollars on each purchase of $50 or more, along with other savings if a promotion or sale is available.
There are other ways to save money, such as the Coupons app. I really enjoy the Coupons app when I'm out on the weekends, and want to see if there are any restaurants or department stores having promotions around my designated locations. I'm not a big fan of shopping in stores on Black Friday anymore, but this app is useful year-round. I also utilize my AAA discounts when out and about. My favorite place to use my AAA discount is in hotels if I can't find a better deal online. If you haven't had AAA before, there are many more perks, as well. But that is for another article.
These are just a few of the apps I actually use, but I am sure there are many more out there. If you know any and would like to share, please leave a message below. I would love to write another blog article in the future with other savings ideas. As a college student putting herself through school, I love stretching my money as far as I can. On another note, check back soon for more articles. I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

On another note, check back soon for more articles. I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

YouTube Channel Coming Soon!
| flowers in my backyard |
Hey y'all,
I've been watching a lot of YouTubers lately, and feeling inspired. I'm very shy, and a live camera or audience makes me nervous, but I hope that with a few videos, I will get more comfortable. My videos will include fashion, beauty tips, life experiences, travel, my handmade jewelry and much more. I know very little about creating and editing movies, but I hope to improve with time. It's so fun looking at other YouTuber channels and seeing their advancement over time.
Now that I live in the heart of Dallas, I want to bring the city to life for those around the world, as well as any other places I might find myself. In time, I would also like suggestions on where to visit in or around Dallas, as well as other locations. I am adventurous and crave new things, along with change. It is the only constant. I can't wait to share Dallas and other wonderful places with all of you.
My YouTube Channel (the channel name will be fixed soon)
Fellow YouTubers to watch : Bethany Mota | Michelle Phan | The Mai Tube
XOXO,
Stephy
