HOW TO STYLE A SIMPLE BLACK DRESS

Happy Friday!!! I am having a hard time keeping up with the days this week. Part of the reason is that I feel like I lost a day in traveling here on Tuesday. I am still running a day behind and that can be dangerous. Lol! Thank goodness, I remembered at the last minute that it was Friday, not Thursday, so that I could introduce you to Debbie from Fashion Fairy Dust.
Debbie is such a free spirit! I love her boho style and adventurous attitude. I am a pattern novice, but she can mix any pattern together and make it look fantastic. She and I agree on a lot of things, like adding a third piece to an outfit is what takes it to the next level, and also that we both do our own photography. I am afraid that I am going to let her track storms all by herself though, I am a big chicken. Lol!
Soooo, this happened yesterday!!! Rodan and Fields had invited me to take part in a film that they were doing on location. I had never been pampered like this before, and letting someone else do your hair and makeup is strange. I was told to come camera ready and that the makeup and hair ladies would do some touchups.
I think that they might have thought that I was a little too “over the top” because they took off my brighter lipstick and added a neutral one instead, and they also flattened my hair quite a bit. Lol! My daughter said, “I liked your version better.” Wasn’t that sweet of her.
Can you believe that they actually did the whole “take one” thing with the clicker? I was so scared and I shook like a leaf the entire time that I was in this drop-dead gorgeous room. I was surprised that the R+F production crew did say for me to stand still. Lol! They did keep saying something about my southern accent. Do I have an accent???
I was told to come in a solid color and nothing bright. Obviously, they don’t follow my blog! Lol! This black midi tank dress (HERE) was really all that I packed that met those requirements. When they called me last night they said that on a scale of 1 to 10, to try to be at least an 8 on the dressy scale. So, I added the Brindy pearl necklace with the marcasite clasp and the Stormy necklace with the simple gold monogrammed disc. For earrings, I went with the classic and understated, Shaila pearl studs.
I don’t know if “anything” that I said will actually make the film, but this experience was ah-mazing. I stepped sooo far out of my comfort zone and I came out on the other side. It was hard, but I am glad that I said yes and did it scared. You can live life, or you can LIVE life and there is a big difference between the two. Try saying yes occasionally and see where that adventure will take you.
Joe and I want to make sure that you tell Debbie hello. She also believes in stepping out of her comfort zoned, the pink hair gave that away. Lol!

Also, as I mentioned in yesterday’s blog, I am taking part in a Virtual Event on Facebook with several ladies who are here in Los Cabo with me on this fabulous trip that I earned from Rodan + Fields. HERE is the link to that group where you can join to hear more about the unbelievable opportunity of being an R+F consultant. Please ask to join, and then message me or comment that you joined the group because I will be giving away a gift to someone (or maybe more) who join me in this group. I would love the support from you gurls!
