Talitha's Take: January 2018

Fashion| Striped Wrap Dress

There is always that one staple go-to piece in every woman's closet. It's that one piece that can take you from a hard day at work to a fun-filled night. That go-to piece for me is the Wrap Dress.

The Wrap Dress is key because it is the "working women" dress. This dress is timeless, sexy and is easy to style and wear. One reason why I love this dress is, it wraps around the waist. This helps to show off your curves and at the same time hides that unwanted belly.

I found this Striped Wrap Dress at BCBGmaxazria. Two things that caught my attention were the bold, colorful strips and V-neck, both add that extra sex appeal to the dress.

New In My Wardrobe| Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies 100

For my 30th birthday (LOL) I wanted to do something extra special for myself. I decided that I would purchase an investment piece because I deserve it. Of course, I went for the iconic red-soled shoe, Christian Louboutin.

I walked into the store ready to buy my first pair of Louboutin. I was dead set on buying the So Kate tried them on, walked around with them on and they So Hurt. My exact words to the saleswoman, " A man must have made these because a woman would never make something this uncomfortable." She agreed and suggested that I try the Pigalle Follies 100.

Pigalle Follies 100 are a classic beauty, but if you are going to make this purchase here are some things to keep in mind

• Louboutins run very small. Plan on buying them a 1/2 or full-size up. I wear an 8/38, I had to buy a size 91/2 391/2.

• Pigalle Follies 100 are way more comfortable than the So Kate. First, the heel is shorter - 4 inches. Second, the cut across your foot or the vamp has a low dip. Finally, the box or the part of the shoe that covers and protects the toes are shorter so you will see “toe cleavage.”

• Protect your red soles. The first time I wore my Louboutin, I noticed the iconic red bottom were all scratched up. I was so pissed. I had no idea you could buy sole protectors for your shoes. Now, since the red bottoms are scratched I have to purchase Walk On Red to paint over the scratches.

• Pigalle Follies do elongate the legs, however the price for those long legs... $675.
