My Back To School Outfit

I can't wait to show you all my BTS outfit. It is cool. I have the outfit I wore in a photo shoot for Confetti Doll Designs. It has a few mix and match pieces so it is versatile. I can't wait to show it to you.

Oh and we had a surprise at the shoot they made a new backdrop so fun you have to see if you can spot it.

It is really bold I like it.

So I have a crochet cropped sweater, two strappy tanks, two pair of shorts, a floral skirt, a floral headband and a floral pair of flats that all match. I have a denim drawstring backpack and I of course have my school supplies. Notebooks, check. Doodles on cover included.

So looking forward to sharing but here is a tiny sneak peak.

Shoes shoes shoes... and accessories

Well there are flowers everyplace this late summer early fall and that extends to your feet. You can find sneakers, flats and even combat boots with cute floral prints on them.  I will be rocking a pair of flats because it is going to be warm on my first day back. We go in August.

Floral headbands are all over too....

And I chose a simple drawstring backpack that is made from sturdy denim for this year. I added some cute patches to mine. 
This is sure to go with all my outfits. 

Hope you are ready and excited for your first day fashions. I am.

Tank Top Debate

So they are showing those cute skirts with strappy tank tops. What to do when your dress code doesn't allow? Add a cute crochet sweater that is light and breezy and open work.


Remember most schools won't allow bare middrifts either so this combo assures your cute outfit is dress code approved. 

It is so much easier to comply then get sent to office or worse in school suspension don't you think?

Skater Skirts

Skater Skirts are everywhere. I mean everywhere. Floral patterns, tribal prints, solids, so many choices. However they are really short so what's a girl to do when she's got a strict and enforced dress code? Add a pair of coordinating bike short that are knee length and presto! Dress code approved.

I am loving the florals though. What is your favorite?

Fall Fashion Guide Time

I am so excited to share all the cool trends that I have found for fall. I have been doing so much research so that is why there hasn't been to much activity on here... oh and I have a boyfriend now so that takes up some time too and I am sorry I have been ignoring this but I am back.

Oh you want to know more about my boyfriend?
He is a model for Mini Me Dolly Diva's and we met at an event. If you go to Mini Me Dolly Diva's Facebook page I am sure you can find him. His name will appear in my next Confetti Doll Designs photo shoot. Stay tuned.
