Back to the Start

After some long periods of radio silence on my blog, I'm back! I had to take some time off to take care of me... Everything is good, but there comes a point when you need to take a break from social media. But, I'm getting back into the swing of things, and hope you're still here to follow me along!

One thing I didn't take a break from in the past couple of weeks was my fashion game. You know I could never really say no to shopping, or being forever on the hunt for my next favorite dress. Well, I think I found it! I love this trompe l'oeil printed dress that I bought at Forever 21. It's a mixture of cherry blossoms and stripes. In other words - it's a "Jen dress".

To emphasize the pattern of the dress, I applied this Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I applied this on a Friday night, and no joke, 12 day later, they looked like they were only on day 1. Officially hooked! Plus, with fall upon us, I'm going to have to change up my nail routine. 

Be on the lookout for a post about my top picks for fall nail colors!

In the meantime, throw on a cardigan and enjoy the cooler weather!

It's Stripes Week!

It's Stripes Week on House Of Jeffers! I'll be featuring one of my favorite patterns to wear, stripes, two ways as a homage to this basic yet sassy combo. 

To kick things off, I'm starting with this oh-so-cute striped skirt from Francesca's. What I love about the skirt is that I can pair it with other prints, solid, tanks and of course, statement tees. I have to admit - I've been holding on to this Ashely Brooke Designs' "Everyday I'm Hustlin'!" t-shirt for a while since I wanted to wear it with something equally amazing. 

Rick Ross is my animal spirit. 

If you're going to wear stripes, black and white gets the most longevity in my book. Since the color combination is timeless, you can pair black and white stripes with any color and it works every time. Yet, throw on a striped skirt with a pair of sneakers, and it's still feminine, but playful. For me, I love a really girly look, so I opted for heels and a quilted bag to play up the gold lettering in the shirt, and, to match the skirt.

Stripes one way. Stay tuned for my second striped look of the week!

Wearable Art

Most days, I'm dressing for work or the weekends. But I do own formal dresses that I guess you could say I collect since I might not have too many occasions to wear them. Although I have tomboy tendencies, I really do love getting dressed up for special occasions.

I've been holding on to this gorgeous dress from Anthropologie that I purchased two months ago... off the sale rack. I could not believe this dress was marked down since to me, it is so beautiful. I fell in love with the layered, black netting over the pink and green floral print. I finally got the chance to wear it over the weekend to my dear friend's bridal shower.

The way the black hangs past the hem is what makes this dress so artful and lovely. This is absolutely a wearable art piece that I'm looking forward to breaking out for my next special event!
