The Good Life

Yesterday's post was heavy but it felt so good to write about it. Therapeutic in a sense.

Some of you might be wondering if I'm dating right away and the answer to that is...

Kind of.

I'm not in a rush to find my ride or die. If anything, I'm just going with the flow. Keep in mind, I just got out of a long-term AND live-in relationship, so it's really important to take a step back and just "do me".

At the same time, I won't ever turn down a fun night out. It might be all the film noir I grew up on but I can't say no to romance.

For those nights, that I have said yes (few and far, my friends) I opt for a relaxed silhouette that features my best assets - my strong legs.

Dress: Tobi  Boots: Zara  Purse: edressme  Sunglasses: The Row  Necklace: La Soula  Lipstick: Daringly Nude via Maybelline  Hair: Terax Life Drops

Since I don't have that many date-night dresses, I've been making updates to my closet to include a few more thigh-skimming mini dresses. In the name of research, I've spent a few hours viewing all of the options on tobi.com and possibly found a few more favorites.

They tend to have really great sales and an amazing first-time customer deal (50% off sitewide if you sign up for their newsletter), so I'd click over soonish :). As for accessories, I try to keep it as delicate as possible so they don't detract attention from the dress. For that reason, I've been wearing La Soula, which is known for gorgeous hand-crafted pieces. (P.s. Keep them in mind for Mother's Day).

Breezy Pieces // #MakeThemCry or Man-Repelling?

Woof. What a weekend.

Let's just say that I will never EVER head straight to the airport after a bar crawl. That was rough. On the positive side, I had all of Sunday to rest up before Monday came a knocking.

I still need time to digest (literally & figuratively) my Nashville trip so stay tuned for a recap and possible video. As for now let's focus on this date night ensemble.

If you remember from this and this post, I think culottes are so flattering on us tall girls. The illusion of curves they give on my athletic build is always a win-win. So when I came across this bare-back top from Tobi I already knew culottes would complement it perfectly.

In case, you're wondering why, it's because working out has shrunk my boobs (if we're being honest) so I needed a pair of pants that emphasized what little curves I had (culottes) and would be able to even out the volume from the top as well (culottes again).

Top: Tobi  Pants: Ann Taylor  Heels: J. Crew  Bracelet: Kendra Scott  Sunglasses: The Row  Lipstick: Ruby via Skinn  Brows: Benefit's Gimme Brows

I got this pair from Ann Taylor (who by the way are killing it this season) and thought all these pieces collectively made for a #MakeThemCry outfit. So here I am before you, wearing it and obviously making them cry. If they don't, I'll report back and update this as a man-repelling outfit instead.

Either way, one thing is true - this outfit makes me feel sexy as hell. Boobs or no boobs.

Curry Hill Special

Walking a few avenues over to Curry Hill to bring you this look from Tobi.

By the time this post is read I will have landed in Nashville and fully digested my first rack of ribs. Achieving all sorts of goals today! You definitely don't want to miss out on the fun so make sure you're following me on snapchat - my username is thestyleboro.

First, let's dial it back a bit and head a few avenues over to Curry Hill, another eating destination of mine. Not only are the meals flavorful, they're also budget-friendly. Another thing I love - the amount of cabs parked here create the perfect backdrop for an #ootd. Just make sure to eat first and then shoot. You know, food baby prevention.

For today's adventures, I went with a shift dress from Tobi.com styled with my leather coat and tights because it's still a little cold over here. You know how it goes when the weather is acting like a drunk, cold one minute or hot the next. The leather jacket is too edgy to wear in-office (I might also sweat to death) but I tend to keep a cardigan in the office for sleeveless outfits like this one. In the end this makes for a transitional desk-to-drinks look. Perfect, right?

The day we shot this, I had a few (read LOTS) of press previews so I made sure to wear a few conversation starters such as my sunnies from Dittos. It's like Netflix for your face - rent any designer frames you want for as long as you want for only $24 a month. I've been OBSESSED with my Miu Miu frames.
