Bag: Kate Spade | Leather Skinnies: Express | Jacket: Cynthia Rowley (Platos Closet) |

Heels: JcPenny Similar

The other day at work, this lady stated that the front of the store looked very white and black. She asked me where all the color was. I then told her that black and white is still a trend that is lingering around even towards the end of winter.

Being a responsible budget-minded fashionista, I go to great lengths to make sure Im getting a good deal or investing in a good piece. When I stumbled across this jacket at Plato’s Closet, I was curious on why any girl would choose to let it go! To pass up a Cynthia Rowley jacket for $14.00 would be crazy! Speaking of her, I would head on over to Birchbox to see her adorable beauty line. I plan on using my 20% coupon for her kit next week!

Given this outfit above which is strictly showing off black and white, I think the next time I wear it I will add a bright colored statement necklace to add some color. In my last post, I showed how I love being neutral but having a piece within the outfit that adds a POP to catch the eye!

Bring on the week ladies! Make it wonderful!

So obviously the 71st Golden Globe Awards were on last night! Which, any fashionista swoons over, because the fashion is just stunning! Now Im sure you all had your favorite elegant gowns, but I would personally like to discuss my favs from the after party. Of course I want to share my fav gown from the award show, but the risks for the after party were just fun!!

But first….

MY FAVORITE GOWN

Call me biased, but she’s wearing my color okay? Not only is she such a strong woman, but isn’t she adorable?? I love this dress. I feel like the top has enough detail, but the bottom has enough poof (but not too much). Its perfect! For me, this dress was not about “taking fashion risks”, but just being stunning on the red carpet like a woman should! Done and done! If i had this dress on, I would feel girly with the tulle like fabric, yet elegant! What more do you need!

Now lets party….

If you didn’t know, this lovely thing is sick right now, and honestly, she pulls off “sexy sick” very well! Nina’s Instagram was adorable when she showed off her essentials that went in her clutch before the show which included  lozenges!

If this isn’t sexy, well…Im not really sure what is! However, newly single and given her profession, Miranda Kerr can clearly pull it off! But, I need a party dress I can dance in, and Im not sure this is what I could do that in!

So I noticed that majority of the stars went with a LBD for the after party, which I mean, isn’t a bad choice, but I love how Vanessa Hudgens went with a plunging neck sequin number…that wasn’t black! She was gorgeous, but again…how on earth does a girl dance in that! 😛

Stayed tuned tonight for Fashion Police on E! That show makes fashion comical and I love it!
