Georgia Peach Skirt

I have been searching for an affordable and lovable full skirt for a while. So when I saw this one while on a lunch break, I had to try it on and I fell in love with it. What I love about wearing a full skirt is that it can easily work with all fashion styles. For a dress down, very casual look wear it with a t-shirt and cute tennis shoe. For a semi-casual look wear a traditional cotton button-down shirt with a flat. Go for a semi-dress look as I did by keeping the top casual and wearing a pump that pops out the look. If you want a night out on the town, pair the skirt with a corset or a peplum top with a sexy shoe. However you decide to wear it, connect your look with your personal style and I guarantee you will love it. Thanks for stopping by and continue to Unleash the Real You!-MLStyles

My nephew Wayne came in town from college and requested the family take him out to dinner for his 20th birthday he celebrated earlier during the month while away. So we agreed and as he pulled

Blooming Pink Dress


For those of us who live in the DC, Maryland and Virginia areas, one indicator that spring has sprung is the blooming of the Cherry Blossom Trees. Each year The Nation's Capital celebrates with a National Cherry Blossom Festival and people come from around the world to participate and enjoy the beauty of spring. Being able to take a walk with my peers during a lunch break to take this all in, is just one beauty of working in DC. Also, it was refreshing to get out of the building to decompress from the morning hustle and bustle of managing meetings, people and deliverables to breath and regroup for the afternoon; but more importantly connect with everyone outside of the office. Because I had such a great time watching the cherry blossoms and other people enjoying their moments of exercising, holding hands walking through the park, family's enjoying picnics and children laughing and playing - I wanted to share a photo of my experience with you.


A swing dress such as the one I'm wearing here is a great closet asset because you can easily go from a day to night look with minimum effort. Wearing a blazer and classic pump with the dress will make you office ready. Remove the blazer and grab a clutch and you're ready for happy hour or date night. If you want to jazz up your evening look a little more trade the pump for a sexy sandal or bootie (like this Vince Camuto Jillie Bootie). But if your evening will be a nice quiet stroll with the one you love or heck just by yourself, add a cardigan and pair of cute flats (loving this Tory Burch Mira ballet flat). Whatever look you are trying to pull off, just remember you have many options - so have fun, be creative and enjoy the look!! Thanks for stopping by and continue to Unleash the Real You!-MLStyles

Black and White Stripes Galore



I'm learning to embrace hangout time beyond jeans. Don't get me wrong, I love wearing jeans and I plan
