Embrace the Cold

Embrace The Cold

…or at least know how to deal with it

Winter can be brutal, but I refuse to lock myself inside.

 I'd rather bundle up and spend a day off exploring Philly.

I did exactly that when a few inches of snow

 got me out of classes for the day.

The key to surviving winter is to layer… and invest

 in a thick faux fur coat that makes you

 feel like you should be in Aspen or Moscow.

Then find a warm pair of faux fur boots that can

withstand the snow and slush. Also, they add a bit of

edge to your look. It's a win-win!

Camel Toned

Fall is here! Sort of...not sure when it officially starts 

but I can get away with wearing sweaters and not melting.

I love the way the colors mix with each other. I was worried the camel might clash with the black snakeskin but it came out great and the camel really gives it that Fall feel. Days like this when an idea pops into your head and it works... they're magical, haha

Do you notice that my legs blend right in with the color of the sweater, what a tan.

Due to sever heat outside and polar like cold inside 

(ALL my classes have the AC on full blast!) 

I have to carefully plan at my outfits when I have class.

Hence my wearing a jacket when it's 85°.

I originally planned on wearing a flowy white tank top with this but it needed ironing and I was already late. Instead a went for this floral top and I like the way it works with the shorts.

The shorts have a sporty look to them, the side has a 

retro basketball shorts feel. They're mesh like with a leather texture. An unexpected pair like that and I'm all in. 

I spotted these in PacSun last year while on a day trip and I had to have them. There are just so many ways to style them.( I may to a post on that bc I really like them!

To keep warm I added this green jacket I've had for awhile. I got it on sale at Target.

It's light weight enough that I wasn't too hot outside and I think it really ties the outfit together nicely.

The bag is just the one I'm currently using bc it is big enough to hold my usual purse thins and school stuff. but i like how it compliments my shirt and jacket.

Finally, for shoes my trusty, go-to, beat up Converse. Plus I couldn't pass up a chance to wear them with my "retro leather basketball shorts".

Leather | Velvet

Ready or not the hot weather is here and its time to show a little bit of skin.

I was thrilled to finally be able to wear these velvet shorts that I scored ON SALE in like the beginning of winter. I've worn them before throughout the winter with stockings or long socks but having the velvet texture in the spring/summer is a nice twist. Honestly, that is why I bought them hahha. To keep with the "unexpected texture" I paired it with my leather top from the "Recent Buys" post. Since I was going to lunch with my mom and I didn't want to be showing too much skin I threw on an over-sized denim  jacket.

For me summer means I get to be more adventurous with my outfits. I'm not sure why but once it gets warm I feel so inspired and daring to try anything -style wise. 

So make a vow to yourself this summer to try new looks you've had your eye on and let me know how it goes. Show me some of you're favorite looks!

Knits and Cuts

Knits & Cuts

After weeks of below freezing ugliness and having to bundle up yesterday was quite warm and I loved it! I brought out my favorite cutout ankle boots from the back of the closet to finish this casual edgy look perfect for a day of school and errands. 

I got these ankle boots from an online website called Urbango last spring. They comfy but have a slight heel that gives any outfit an edge.

The jeans are from Forever 21 (I'm trying to steer clear from that store for ethical reasons but I still have clothes from there that I don't intend on throwing away)

I have no clue where my sweater is from. My jacket was a gift from my mom and I distressed it myself. A lot of what I look for in clothes is how edgy they look and that is what I get from this jacket.

Stay tuned for more outfit inspo!
