Retro Inspired

Life has been busy lately! Monday was my birthday, but since I worked all week I didn't really do anything until Sunday. My family took me out to dinner, we went to Sizzler. I don't think we'll be going there again. The steak and lobster were definitely not outstanding, but oh well. I just recently purchased this dress and love it. I was scrolling through Torrid's website and got super excited when I saw it. It has skulls, roses and mermaids, I mean what's not to love?! I wore it to work on Monday also and got a ridiculous amount of compliments on it. Kind of makes me want a few more dresses in this style. I recently read some blogs that were talking about a label called Hell Bunny, similar styles and in plus size too. I may end up placing an order with them at some point. I was on a shopping ban, as of lately it has turned more into a shopping binge really. I kind of rationalize it that pretty much everything I've purchased has been at least 40% off and the fact that my birthday was coming up. It may not be super logical, but hey, I'm still sticking to it. 

Blazer, Dress, Shoes: Torrid. Necklace: real pears gifted from my little brother. Bracelet: Walmart.

This blazer is definitely one of my favorite pieces, a staple really. It's always my go-to when I need to add a little more 'modesty' or warmth to an outfit. I have no issue with sleeveless clothing, my job does however. They actually sent a girl home one day for wearing a sleeveless shirt, now we're not talking about spaghetti type straps either, I'm meaning some big thick straps just exempt of an actual sleeve. I don't take the chance, and this blazer always works.
