Velvet with a Sprinkle of Sparkles

Posted on by ootdinstyle

Hello lovelies,

Between work being extremely busy and taking a vacation after our project was due, I have been a bit MIA from both blogging and being active on Instagram, so without further ado here is my new favorite fashion obsession: the perfect velvet bodysuit!

This piece is so sophisticated, yet fun, has tons of details, yet looks clean-lined and classy! So, what are some of the features of the Beaded Shoulder Surplice Velvet Bodysuit that I adore?

  1. The shoulder details – the beaded necklaces-like detail adds so much visual interest to the upper half of the suit. It is set on a black tulle patch which to me screamed inspiration for pairing the suit with a black pencil skirt, a tulle a line one or a pair of simple black cigarette pants. The metallic color of the beads is not an exact silver or bronze, which allows for the selection of any jewel without clash with the shoulder detail.   SHEIN Beaded Shoulder Surplice Velvet Bodysuit, Banana Republic Pencil Skirt, YSL Clutch (1)SHEIN Beaded Shoulder Surplice Velvet Bodysuit, Banana Republic Pencil Skirt, YSL Clutch (5)
  2. The deep V – this neckline brings the eye down to balance out the shoulder detail and draw attention to the rest of your outfit.   SHEIN Beaded Shoulder Surplice Velvet Bodysuit, Banana Republic Pencil Skirt, YSL Clutch (9)
  3. The color – the deep burgundy color is so rich and adds to the refined character of the bodysuit. This piece is also available in black and goldish khaki (which is absolutely gorgeous and on my wish-list)!
  4. The soft material – this velvet piece is so soft and cozy against the skin, I can sleep in it!SHEIN Beaded Shoulder Surplice Velvet Bodysuit, Banana Republic Pencil Skirt, YSL Clutch (3)SHEIN Beaded Shoulder Surplice Velvet Bodysuit, Banana Republic Pencil Skirt, YSL Clutch (10)
  5. The comfy fit (SIZE UP!) – OK, so I initially ordered a size Small, since it is my typical in tops, but could barely put my arms trough the sleeves and could not button the suit for the life of me…. Soooo, the next time I ordered I went with LARGE and I love how it fits–it is no pulling anywhere and it is not wide either–just the perfect size for me! I would highly recommend jumping up at least one size, especially if your torso is on the longer side.

More Preppy Chic, Please!

Hello lovelies,

This week’s center stage is taken by the SHEIN Contrast Collar And Ruffle Cuff Tweed Dress. It is one of my new transitional pieces and I am sure I will be wearing it well into spring. This elegant dress drew me in with its fitted tweed silhouette, the ruffle detail bottom and those pretty sleeve and collar details adding tons of preppy chic. Somehow this piece has a school girls flavor mixed in with a taste of young professional.

The multi-color tweed fabric of this dress makes it suitable for accessories of many different colors. I opted for black over-the-knee boots and a black bag, but the same combination in brown would look great as well. To give the look a spring flavor you can pair the dress with white or cream booties, which would go perfectly with the collar and sleeve cuffs, and a bucket bag of the same color and voila–it is warmer weather appropriate! 🙂
