Casual in Asos Petite Lace Sweater + STS Blue Skinny Pants

Whenever I do something excessive, my cousin always calls me out (in a funny way that makes me laugh) and say "Ping, your _____ game is strong." When I saw her during Christmas dinner, she said to me, your blush game is strong. After looking at these pictures, I can say my bun game is definitely strong too! I normally don't tease my hair,  but decided to try it this time for a little more volume and might have over done it. It's pretty big, but hopefully not saucer status big!

Socialite Lace Dress (burgundy - on sale for $28 or black). Size XS (equivalent to a 00). 

I took these pictures a while ago and never got around to posting them and thought I'd share them with you guys since it's currently on sale for only $28! What an amazing deal for a fully lined dress. I've been loving the lace-up neckline on tops and dresses, but have found most v-necklines to be too low cut and revealing. The neckline of this dress is more modest and not so plunging like others I've seen. Most swing dresses fit huge, but this one is pretty fitted in the bust area and the length is also great for someone petite. I feel like it's almost too short and the hem hits about 4" above my knee. I could definitely flash someone if I bend over (which I won't do!). The sleeves are about an inch too long as well, but that's a very easy fix. 

I purchased these STS Blue skinny pants a few month ago and have been wearing them around the house because they're so comfortable. They feel more like leggings than pants because the material is thin and there's a lot of stretch to them. These are actually ankle length on the model, but they fit me like real pants since I have such short legs. Also, how pretty is this Asos sweater? The lace detail at the hem gives it that interesting flair. The fit is on the looser side and I love the longer length to pair with leggings or skinny jeans. It would also look super cute with white jeans and over-the-knee boots for a winter white outfit. Here are approximate measurements for each item: pants (size 00): inseam 26.5" (after wash), waist 28", rise 7" and hips 31" and sweater (00P): sleeves 20.5", busts 36.5" and length 27" (from center back to the bottom of the lace edge)

Getting Back Into the Routine

Hi Everyone! I know it's been such a long while since I've posted! I really have no good reason besides being unmotivated to blog. Blogging is like going to the gym, once you start going and get into a routine, then it's really not a problem. It's the initial push to get yourself to start doing it. Speaking of the gym, I signed up a few months ago and started running a couple of miles 2-3 times a week during my lunch break. I should run more and do strength training to make an impact, but at the moment I think a light work out will do the trick in helping me mentally feel healthier. I tried running 3 miles, but that seriously tires me out for the rest of the day and I just want to take a nap afterwards. I know a lot of people feel more energized after working out, but it does the opposite for me. Like the gym, hopefully I can get myself to start a routine and blog more consistently. I've met so many wonderful people and built so many great friendships on this platform, I'd love to continue doing the same and connect with more awesome bloggers and readers. 

Here's an outfit that has been on repeat! If you hung out with me recently, you've probably seen me in this outfit. I love shift style dresses since it's so easy to wear and I can throw it on without having to think. It is a looser fit and has gathers around the hip area which give it more volume and movement. This one gets bonus points since it has sleeves (which aren't too long for my short arms) and can be paired with boots and tights for the cooler fall and winter weather. The drapey sweater vest is so cozy and I love that the faux fur collar gives it that glam factor, but it's also removable so you can pair it with more casual outfits.
