Just Add Glam

the San Francisco lifestyle blog by JENNIFER HENRY-NOVICH

November 5, 2012 / FASHION

Flora and Fauna

Dress: MSGM, similar cut by MSGM here // Heels: Vince Camuto // Bag: Forever 21, similar here // Necklace: TJ Maxx // Bracelets: JCrew and JCrew // Nails: OPI William Tell Me About it and Butter London Knees Up

I’d like to have an infinite closet of dresses, sweaters, blouses, skirts, and everything in between.  But since I refuse to carry any credit card debt (ever!) and only have so much closet space, I have learned to get creative with what I have.  This super fun and flirty MSGM dress is part of their Spring/Summer 2012 collection but the thought of only wearing it in the spring or summer feels too restrictive.  I wanted to transition it to a year-round dress with potential for appearances at summer dinners, spring Sunday afternoons, as well as even Thanksgiving dinner.  I wanted to balance out the soft, floral print of the dress with other elements of nature–cue the leopard print bag and heels–to take the dress into autumn.  A mix of the floral and leopard…flora and fauna…and other warm, brown-toned accessories makes the transition effortless.  Now I’m excited to see how I style this dress for winter when the temperatures drop a bit lower….Hmm…

If you haven’t yet signed up for the Capwell + Co $100 giftcard giveaway, click to my previous post here to enter to win!  I’d love for you to pick out some pretty jewels to add to your fall wardrobe.  Good luck!

      Thanks Christina! I love leopard print but I’m a little nervous to wear it anywhere other than accessories for fear of looking too….cast of Jersey Shore! But I think I need to give it a try…
      Thanks for being a fan of Just Add Glam! I’m glad you’re enjoying following me along as my outfits evolve!

    So there is SO much about this I love! Starting with you in general. Gorgeous pictures of you my dear! I love this dress and would wear it year round too. All the accessories are spots on and I kinda adore this necklace. The bag looks surprisingly more expensive than Forever 21 but maybe it’s just the way you paired it all. Really fantastic my coffee sipping friend 😉

I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
