When I saw these pointed slingbacks, I must admit I was ecstatic. I wanted to find a pair of comfortable black heels for research/work but a pair found me! Besides, it's shoes! How could any girl not be happy! When I first put these on, they were a bit big but I've been able to walk around in them. I was pondering on whether a 7 would have been a better choice instead of my usual 7.5 but I bet that would have been too small. Overall, they're very versatile - they transition eloquently from work to play. It's made of leather and comes with memory foam to provide a cushioned insole for all day comfort! Plus, it's only an inch high so it's easy to walk in!
I decided to create a casual outfit centered around these heels. I slipped on my comfy stretchy black pants along with a cream swing top and finished it off by wearing my butterfly and floral dress as a coat. Purchase these Hedy Kitten Heels from Banana Republic and see more on their website! Until next time!

I've teamed up with Banana Republic again to showcase their latest Spring midi dress for petites! The thought of SPRING conjures up images of flowers and bold colors... As you can tell by browsing through the images in this particular post, I found it only fitting to intertwine these two ideas together.
I have been in search for a fresh colored lightweight maxi for approximately a month so when this chartreuse strappy midi arrived, I jumped with joy! If you read my previous post in collaboration with Banana Republic, you already know that the dress featured in that story was a dream. It was as if a my exact measurements were taken to make that floral dress (See the first Banana Republic x invictus collaboration HERE). When I saw that this dress was also a 0P, I knew that I could slide comfortably in. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with the fit. Why? Well, the dress is a tad loose around the torso but it's nothing a little alteration couldn't fix! Yes, I know this dress isn't supposed to be skin tight however, I prefer it when my clothes give definition to my body. Additionally, if you guys look online at this chartreuse pleased dress, you'll notice that it's ideally supposed to end mid-calf. As for me, the dress floated in between a midi and a maxi - I'm a little too short!
Yeah, so what though... I still like this dress! The loose casual feel gave me freedom to twirl and allowed me to eat to my heart's content without walking around with a protruding belly! It has a fun crisscross pattern in back, both the front and back are pleated and it has POCKETS! I had so much fun running through the Carlsbad Flower Fields in this lightweight dress! The wind did wonders to this dress though the wind effect in my hair is definitely another story. For all you flower aficionados out there, I did not destroy any flowers! Hope you enjoy these pictures!
