Steel and Peony

I found another set of photos which needed some serious editing so they might not be the best quality. I don't remember where I was headed in this outfit but I did love the combo and the Twill Capris are one of my favorite items too. I have worn Pippa in other blog posts but most I feel are too big on me. This is a kika size 0 (women's 0/2) which is MUCH smaller than I usually wear but I like the fit a lot better too. The stripe version fit more normal but with the solid fabric it just came out a lot more generous in the sizing. What do you think of it?

Portia in Navy/White Stripe

Well lookie here! I did take photos of my outfit where I wore Portia in the Navy/White stripe and I wore it multiple ways too. The photos are maybe not the best but my photographer is still learning the best settings for my outfit photos. At least it should give you some ideas! I love all the different looks you get with just 3 items from kikaPaprika!

Here I tucked in Pippa and folded the top half of Portia twice to get a long skirt. I could have folded it one more time to get a narrower band which might have looked better?

Here I just folded over the top half one time since I am short and it becomes a shorter version of this dress. If I decide to keep it, I will hem it so it is a better length for me. The best news is I can just cut it!

Here is the necklace and earring set that I sell too. I get loads of compliments on it everytime I wear it. It is cheap and probably won't last long but for the price, I am not complaining too much. I tried to crop the photo with Portia but then it looked like I was naked. Not a good look!

Others in kika ... Daphne in Ink!

Here is another woman who I met networking and she was looking for a jacket to go with an existing skirt that she owns. She tried Daphne in Ink and look what a great match it made! It looks like they were meant to go together all along. Sorry for the bad photo but I took it with my old cell phone and the camera isn't so great on it.

Others in kika ... Alice in Tangerine!

One of my good customers shopped my sample sale last month and picked up Alice in Tangerine for 50% off! She wanted a summer dress to take with her on a trip to St. Louis and this was the perfect thing for her. I asked if I could share her photo and of course she said YES! Doesn't she look great?

Make sure to like her Facebook page! She is a great Mary Kay Sales Director and I am happy she loves kikaPaprika!

My new love ... Charissa!

I just can't believe that every season kikaPaprika comes out with a dress that I love even more than the previous version. This season we have a dress called Charissa and I love it so much! If you loved Alice last season then you should definitely check out this dress. For me, I almost always have to hem and alter my clothing. It is worth it to me to have clothes that fit right and most of the time the adjustment is small and inexpensive. This dress I don't have to do anything at all to. What do you think of it?

It might be hard to see in this photo but there is a matching belt that can be completely removed and worn without or with a different belt entirely.
