Yay to kicking off the week right! I'm so excited to be part of a collaboration with ModCloth to style up one of their Be the Buyer picks and an Eva Franco dress at that. I love the mixture of black and creme and it even has gold woven into the fabric! Plus, can you ever go wrong with polka dots? I was a bit nervous about styling a plunging neckline, but it was still conservative and didn't reveal too much. For those of who you participate in the Be the Buyer Program - great pick! Thanks to ModCloth for giving me the chance to style the What a Debut dress!
So this weekend... my band played a show in Ann Arbor! It was so much fun. Granted everybody was drinking, so they really liked our music, but nevertheless I took it as a compliment that we had so many people watching us and enjoying it! Plus, to see kids sing along is amazing. Especially in a city on the other side of the state! On Saturday, Brett and I napped on the couch together for so long (desperately needed) and later saw a movie with our friend, Peter. Then on Sunday, we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters (silly, but fun!) and lounged around all day. So lazy!
So other than that, I'm just apartment hunting like crazy still, staying very busy at work and trying to keep my head above water! I also need to get back into my gym routine. It's so easy to fall off track there. Especially when it's cold outside, I'm just so unmotivated to head back out to the gym when I get home from work... but I always feel so much better when I'm done. I need to drill "every day counts" back into my brain again.
Be sure to head over to ModCloth and check out the What a Debut dress designed by Eva Franco! I'd also recommend checking out their Be the Buyer Program. I would love to be a fashion buyer for a clothing company. Since that's not possible (I love graphic design just a tad more!), it's fun to play out one of my dreams by participating in their program and weighing in with advice on why to buy or why to skip!

So darling! It's hard to go wrong with classic red, white, and black. Red lipstick always looks killer on you!
Congrats on the show going awesome :) I'll have to try and catch one of your shows sometime!

this is such a cute outfit! I want to have a dotted skirt too! I found the perfect one on asos, but it's a bit to expensive, so I'll have to wait and hope ;-)

Stunning dress, and no you can't wrong with polka dots.
I'm the same as you, I'm not keen on plunging necklines. But that's the joy of long hair right?
you look lovely.x
This is such a cute dress! And your right ... Can't go wrong with polka dots!
Oh my, this dress looks lovely on you.
How adorable! Are you sure people didn't pick it just to get the chance to see you wear it? It's stunning on you!
I love that you keep to a simple color scheme to tie it together. It sort of has a 50's diner, Minnie Mouse sort of feel to it. In a good way of course. Just the classic and always lovely American Combo of red, black, and white.
And oh, the pleats! I love the pleats!
<3 Always, Danica.

Orange looks lovely on you!

I know you normally wear your dresses shorter than this, but I love this hem length on you. The whole look is very cute.

I love the wall! And yeah, I suppose the oufit in front of it too... Just kidding! It's wonderful, love the shoes and polka dots.
The Modcloth styling sounds exciting.

I love this dress from ModCloth it definitely suits you :)
Ugh. I'm so totally obsessed with this (and most other) dress(es) from ModCloth. And, really, anything polka dot with a retro silhouette just wins awards.
Plus, you're cute, so, you know, it works.
Good job on being a faithful gym goer. I think I'm signing up for a Warrior Dash or something so I can motivate myself to actually go and not succumb to the black hole that is my couch.

I'm LOVING this outfit, Tieka! The pop of color is wonderful, and you look so great in red! Hope you find a new apartment soon! XO
I love the way you've styled this dress! You always pull off red so well. Congrats on your show in Ann Arbor!
i really love those simple shoes!!!!! xx Alice Barton: The Mow Way
Oh Tieka you look absolutely radiant, what a fabulous way to style that dress for winter! <3 I am feeling the same way about the gym at the moment (trying to get back on track, but have good weeks and bad weeks) and I find setting little motivators helps a lot... so say I have my eye on a new dress that I love but don't really NEED, if I complete 6 gym sessions in a row (no chickening out) I get to have it :)
I love how you styled the dress and you chose the perfect background too!
Goodness, Tieka these photos are so adorable and have such a joyful energy to them + you have such a pretty laugh/smile. Love!! And this dress is beautiful, you did a wonderful job styling it, the pops of red are fantastic!! Yay, ModCloth!
Oooh, how fun that you guys played a show recently, it must be such an amazing experience!! I used to do a bit of theater, and loved being in front of an audience - it's such a rush, isn't it?! Hope your day is lovely, sweets. xo veronika
Wonderful style for that dress, I love you take on black, white, and red. Plus, that mural is fabulous backdrop for outfit photos!

Those mary jane heels are adorable. Especially with your new dress. I love the polka dot skirt on it and the red cardigan is a perfect addition to the dress.
Very cute outfit. And I love the way to styled it! I also dig the mural in the background! I know what you mean about feeling completely unmotivated this time of year!
This style looks so good on you! Lovely pick :) also the saddlebag giveaway arrived the other day, eeeep thank you so much again! It's so so lovely, even more so in the flesh (as it were) xXx

Super cute! I love the 50's flare!
Have you ever tried working out in the morning before work? It really sucks getting out of bed so early (My first thought it "I cannot wait to go to bed tonight" haha) but that's the hardest part and then you're done for the day! It's awesome getting home after work and not having to think about it.
