Lately I’ve been allllll about contrasting prints.
Think: leopard on stripes, palm prints on bright blues, or florals on gold. So it’s no surprise that I loved this sequin on stripes look for last week’s sushi date night.
I paired it with white heels ( weird, me in white shoes? lol ), oversized sunglasses, & a little light blue clutch.
The sequin skirt is from Mindy Mae Market ( p.s. they’re offering 20% off, for a week with the code skinny20 ) was a hit because it hangs to the perfect spot on the leg. Sometimes skirts will hit the wrong spot of the leg AKA an unflattering area ( which doesn’t do anyone any favors ). This skirt fell to my ankles & made me look taller/longer/leaner and paired with a high shoe, I felt like Gisele.
Well not really Gisele.
But you know, you get my drift. I just felt taller.
What I loved about the striped top is that it was a crop, but not a crop so when I tucked it into the skirt I didn’t get that muffin top look. Does that make sense? Basically there was no extra fabric.
Anyway, the date night…We went to Sugarfish in LA which seriously, honest to God has the best damn sushi ever. If you ever go, get the ‘Trust Me.’ The chef will just automatically send you out tuna, sashimi, edamames, & to-die-for rolls. The fish is fresh, the rice is warm ( like melt in your mouth kind of warm ), & the saki is delicious. We LOVE it. Totally craving it, every second of every day.
Ok, I’m off- happy Tuesday! Talk soon, Lauryn

I love this outfit girl! Pairing sequins with a casual top is always a good idea. I also hate when midi skirts hit the wrong part of the leg – can you say cankles??

Oh my goodness I laughed so much at this blog post. I can literally hear myself speaking. I am a terrible over packer. I can’t even go away for an evening without a weekend suitcase, over night bag and a handbag all full to the brim. I’ve tried everything to keep my packing to a minimum. I am now knows for my excess baggage.
Love your blog

It’s so hard finding the right top with enough crop that doesn’t give the muffin top look- might have to get that sweater for myself x
I’m putting “Sugarfish” on my restaurant wishlist!
First of all, I love the way you mixed the different prints, and second of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog design, so feminine and fancy 😀
