Hat Me At Hello

how to wear a velvet dress, the beauty beau

I’m pretty much over hating the weather; it allows me to still get away with looks like these! This mock neck velvet dress begins a new love for me…velvet…and believe me, I’m only getting started. 

It is a more fitted dress, so if that isn’t your cup of tea, size up twice. It’s honestly one of the softest dresses I own, it’s really stretchy and the perfect neutral. I don’t know if y’all remember when I first started blogging, but I said I would never stray away from color. Well, times have changed and I am reneging on what I originally said! *insert hands over eyes monkey emoji*

I have finally found a love for neutrals and I will definitely be wearing them more along with my usual colors!

Don’t think I mentioned it on here, but this past Monday was my 27th birthday too. It’s such a blessing to see another year of life and prosperity!

    I usually don’t wear hats but you are definitely pulling it off. I love how you’re wearing a gold dress but toned it down with a flannel shirt to make it more causal!

    That velvet dress is amazing on you! So cool with the plaid shirt tied around your waist. Gives it a more casual feel.

  4. Neutrals suit you really well and I like to think of myself of someone who wears a lot of color too, but sometimes you just want some neutrals, but just like you did here, with a twist, in this case being that wonderful neon orange plaid shirt which makes the whole look edgier! AND of course your choice of backdrop, haha. I love your attitude!

    You are definitely still very colourful, the neutrals just make the other colours pop.

  10. Love your look and style

  11. I love how versatile your style is babe. You always create so many different style outfits creatively with colors that complement each other perfectly! I’ve been obsessed with the velvet trend that’s been going on. I seriously need to find myself the perfect velvet dress already.

    I really love the dress and how you paired it in a more casual way with the tied flannel, a hat, and some boots! I’m actually still jealous of your weather because some days it’s just so cold LOL. You pull off hats so well btw!
