Happy Spring, ladies!
Today is my friend Mackenzie's birthday and we are going to celebrate with dinner on the deck at Duke's this lovely evening.
I'm a little old-fashioned in that I like to dress up when I go out to eat. Aw heck I use any excuse I can to dress up. However I am biking to the restaurant which could make wearing heels interesting...better put a spare pair of flats in my basket.

One piece of advice I have for you ladies today: If you are going to splurge on an item of clothing, make it a classic that is versatile and fits you perfectly. For me this piece was my black blazer from LOFT. It cost almost $50, and for a thrifter like me that is painful. However, this looks professional at work and can go with jeans or a casual dress over the weekend. It has more than paid for itself with the amount of times I have worn it. There are a few pieces like this that every woman should have and if you need to spend a little extra for just the right cut or quality, do it.

| Blazer - LOFT $48 |

| Scalloped Shorts: H&M, $16 Belt: Forever 21, set of 3 $12 |
 |
| Shoes: Forever 21, $20 |

| Feathered Earrings: Forever 21, $6.50 |

| Nail Polish: H&M, 3.50 |
Also, I wanted to share with you two of my secret weapons from the makeup bag: Bronzer and Highlighter. The Bronzer is by Hoola and the highlighter is Urban Decay in "Sin". Both from Ulta, and I use them for HAC (highlighting and contouring). To learn more about how to do HAC, check out this video tutorial via maskara.
Have a great day friends! Til next time,
Andrea
