 Your eyes are not deceiving you - you are seeing spots (and polka dots) everywhere. Big ones, small ones, red ones, pink ones. As Spring continues, different brands are coming out with their take on the trend.  In the past polka dots were a pattern that plus size women were told to void. Wait a minute, that was stripes. Or was it animal print? To be honest, it really was every print. Times have changed. We haven't just reclaimed the right to wear what we want, but we are owning it. Prints like polka dots can compliment a curvy body and make any look visually interesting.  Polka dots can also bring personality to an otherwise boring outfit and be perfect for the Hill or Wall Street. Black and navy may be your office uniform, but a polka dot shirt can transform your outfit. Featured throughout this post are a few ways to wear polka dots: 1. Pair large polka dots with small polka dots like I did with the shirt and top from Target. 2. Add a leather jacket for edge. 3. Let the pattern speak for itself!!!!!

 I remember what I was doing when it happened. I was sitting at my desk, drinking water, typing a press release, and trying to just mind my own business. I opened Instagram and everything changed. Eloquii dropped a new capsule collection with make up artist Priscilla Ono and there was no way not to GAG! What's even better, is that it was launched just in time for #Beautycon - a magical play land for make up enthusiasts! "I've built my brand on creating bold makeup looks for women who are unapologetic and own their power when expressing themselves through beauty or fashion. Creating a clothing collection has been a dream of mine and I found an amazing partner in both ELOQUII, a brand that I have long admired and Beautycon where the pieces will be featured live," said makeup artist, Priscilla Ono in a press release." As a leader in the sizes 14+ market, ELOQUII focuses on serving their customers directly with fashion-forward pieces, which aligns with my passion of creating unique and fun makeup looks for my clients. Working with the brand has been an incredible experience and I'm so excited to get this bold collection in front of our fans at Beautycon this weekend!" The gorgeous collection premiered on the main stage in New York for many - and in stores nationwide for the rest of us. (I didn't take the trip to NYC for Beautycon this year, but if they keep merging with fashion, I may need to change my travel plans, ha!). So, what is a fashion blogger to do? GO SEE THE COLLECTION! On Sunday, I visited Pentagon City's Eloquii and tried on what they had available. Yes, girl, styles are already sold out. See pics below.   Bell sleeves, pockets, jogger pants, loud color - people don't send for you. When you wear this outfit, you arrive!  In the courtroom or at happy hour, this bright pink suit is sooo appropriate.  May your days flow as much as these pants do .... okurrr?!  No devil is in these details - bright orange fabric, silver buckles, tie sleeves, and an on trend oversized NEON ORANGE look?! Yes please! The press release goes on to say the new collection "blends utilitarian and feminine style, featuring neon, sheer fabrics, cargo separates and head-to-toe bold hue." It is designed for the fashion and beauty enthusiasts on-the-go - filled with "trend-driven, functional pieces detailed with hidden compartments for lipsticks, makeup compacts and more. "
So now you've seen the collection, do you agree? Cherry blossom season is one of the most anticipated times of the year in our Nation’s Capital. Not only does it bring hundreds of thousands – maybe millions – of tourists to D.C., but it marks the beginning of spring (and spring fashion).  This year I celebrated the opening of our Japanese flowers with a photo shoot featuring a dress from Eloquii’s 2018 collection. While the dress was last season – the lewk was allllll about this one!  Spring has sprung, ladies. It’s time to get our outfits. As, I did, don’t be afraid to look in your closet for last year’s goodies. (No one knows unless you tell them).  |
