DN: Puerto Rican/Caribbean

Posted by Jalisa on Apr 21, 2014 under Night Out

Hey Guys!

First, I hope you all had a wonderful and Happy Easter Sunday! I spent the entire day with my family, which is why I didn't post anything on any of my outlets, I wanted to dedicate all my time with them.

On Saturday night, we had a very special date night, we celebrated my mom's birthday! She loves Puerto Rico, so we thought it was a good idea to take her to a great Puerto Rican restaurant we like to dine at. The food was absolutely delicious, from the appetizers all the way down to the dessert. None of us made a negative comment about our food, which you know is rare when dinning out with 4 people!

My mom is no stranger to the blog nor my YouTube channel, having made a "guest" appearance in one of my videos (watch HERE). She wanted to make another appearance on the blog, since it was HER day, lol! I styled her with a classic figure flattering LBT dress we found at Marshall's for only 24bucks! This was a score, since she doesn't have a versatile dress like this one, or a LBT for that matter. We picked up the statement necklace she's wearing at our recent trip to New York & Company, where they're having an amazing promo on their statement necklaces for $10! I of course snagged quite a few myself, which I posted on Instagram.

As for my outfit, I wanted to wear a dress as well, so I opted for this Express dress I purchased about 3 years ago for a family member's wedding. You may recognize it as well, since I wore it in my video for necklaces for your various necklines video (watch HERE). I mentioned that with this neckline, you want to go for necklaces that either mimic the square neckline or angular necklaces that would lay comfortably within the chest area, which this triangular necklace that I'm wearing does. I thought it went great with the dress, since it helped pull out the blue florals within the dress and added interest to the chest area.
