OOTD:  Marcy for Teacher

I was asked to speak to the PR group at my college alma mater, Biola University, and so choosing an appropriate outfit was crucial.  Biola is conservative, so it was important to be modest, but I also wanted to be stylish.  I choose this chiffon top from Wet Seal, paired with my ever faithful Torrid Stillettos and fun heels from Boutique 9.  Of course, my TopShop necklace make the perfect statement piece to tie it all together.

I love working with students and hope I inspired them to dream big!

OOTD: Stagecoach Cutie

I am not one to don a bikini and daisy dukes, but this was my best shot at being cute and comfortable at last weekend’s Stagecoach Country Music Festival.  To read about my experience check out DirtyandThirty.com. 

This maxi from Lane Bryant kept me cool, without creepy tan lines, and was the perfect choice for the desert backround.  With a comfy pair of gorgeous San Edelman sandals I found last summer at Nordstrom Rack and an arm party to hide my cheesy wristbands, I was ready to boot scoot and boogie.

OOTD: So Fresh and So Clean!!!

How fresh is this look from Torrid!?!? I am IN LOVE with these floral jeans that just take me back to the 90s and my obsession with Contempo Casuals.  Paired with a top like this mint one and cute wedges, this is a great look for any spring/summer day!  Need a gift for your curvy mom?  How about a Torrid gift cert or spice up her life with some jeans like these!

OOTD: Springy Evening

I chose this tribal print, peplum top from Ashley Stewart for a recent event at Westfield Culver City. Paired with Torrid’s Black Stiletto cropped pant with sexy zippers, it was a great outfit to great guests and work on styling them. I loved helping women tackle some of their fashion dilemmas! The peplum is super flattering and ideal for concealing a little muffin top. I also wore some amazing Spanx briefs I found at Torrid that made me feel more confident and pulled together. To elongate myself I chose my new Charles by Charles David wedges that I found at Nordstrom Rack! On trend AND on sale?!? Yes, please!!!!! P.S. The Stiletto is by far my favorite pant on the market right now. I wear it in a size 18. If you don’t have a pair, get some TODAY!!!
