WIW: Day to Night Collab with Walking In Memphis In High Heels

Today, I have the amazing opportunity to collaborate with the beautiful and sweet Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels. We're bringing to you how to style a simple black skater skirt for both day and night.
A black skater skirt is a staple piece. It literally goes with everything. I know I get so much wear out of mine both during the day and night. Which is why I'm so glad Laura and I get to show you two different ways to wear this versatile piece. Laura will be sharing with you her daytime look while I have the pleasure of sharing with you all a more dressed up night time look.

Outfit Details:

FYI, I'd been dying for a pair of Torrid's Valentino inspired Rockstud pump look-a-likes, but they didn't come in sizes smaller then 7's. But I found my dupes on eBay for cheap. Check them out above.

And make sure you head over to Walking in Memphis in High Heels to get all the details on Laura's great casual skater skirt look.

Hope you all enjoyed our Day to Night looks.

WIW: Fanciful Floral

So you all may think I'm crazy, but I love these pants! I really do! I've been considering trying the tapered pant trend for some time. I wasn't too sure about this type of pant and how it would actually look on, but after trying them on I decided that I liked them. I found these cobalt blue ones at Forever 21 and for under $20.

I love going to Forever 21 when I'm considering trying a trend that I'm not too sure of. I don't like to splurge on trends that I can't wear all the time. And I love these pants but it's definitely not something that can be worn frequently. Being as I'm only 5'4, I will always have to wear these with heels otherwise I'll just look like a frumpy midget. The cut of these pants make you appear hippier then in actuality, which shortens the legs so the need for heels with these pants is necessary.

And in the midst of looking for these pants, I stumbled across this pretty floral tank. I basically tried on this entire look in the fitting room and fell in love with the whole outfit. I loved how the floral top made these pants look fancier. It's perfect for Summer nights out when I don't feel like wearing a dress [my usual go-to].

OMG! How amazing are those shoes?! I stumbled across these thanks to Laura over at Walking in Memphis in High Heels. They're fabulous dupes for the Valentino Rockstud pumps and they're from Shoedazzle. I've shopped with Shoedazzle in the past, but for the most part try to stay away from their site only because I would buy everything at the prices they offer and the super fast free shipping. Last year they had very similar ones that sold out, but these ones recently became available and I immediately snatched a pair up as soon as Laura said she just bought them.
