Perfect Winter Dress

January 25, 2016 by Nikki 7 Comments

Perfect Winter Dress | NCsquared Life

I really like this dress because it’s comfortable, warm and stylish. I’ve worn this outfit several times, mostly to the office and probably even to the grocery store a time or two; it’s quickly becoming a go-to. It snowed here in NC over the weekend, as you can see, (and I love snow so I was really excited) but I also got to test out this outfit in really cold weather. That’s how I know it’s the perfect winter dress!

Even though this dress is office-appropriate, I added the blazer to make it feel more “office chic.” I got a lot of compliments on it!

Birthday Outfit Part 1

January 7, 2015 by Nikki 3 Comments

Birthday Outfit Part 1 | NCsquared Life

Well, fellow fashionistas, do I look 30? That’s how old I turned on my birthday on New Year’s Eve, and while I don’t necessarily feel old, there are a few tell-tale signs that remind me I’m not as young as I used to be. For instance,my knees have started to hurt every now and then, which I used to make fun of Nick for a while back so I’m sure it’s karma, and I’ve started experiencing side effects from medications, like headaches and drowsiness, that I never experienced before. Other than that, I feel pretty darn good!

I wore this outfit during the day of my birthday for breakfast at one of my favorite diners and then for mani/pedis with Nick – you can probably tell that my pants are wrinkly at the bottom from being pushed up to to my knees during my calf massage. I wore another outfit that night for a fancy dinner and ringing in the new year at a friend’s house. That outfit will be part 2 so stay tuned! Also, check out my special sparkly birthday shoes! Nick picked them out for me and I’m loving them 🙂

I needed a black clutch and found an old one that I’d been using. It was working out fine but then Nick bought me this one for Christmas. The textured front sparkles in the light, which, of course, is the best part.
