Casually Unexpected

Casually Unexpected

 

I have been wanting to put a day look together with this thrifted blue tweed mini-skirt. 

The skirt's potential functionality inspired me. You could very easily dress it up,

 but my vision for the skirt was more of a street look. Something a bit more casual and unexpected.

I paired the mini with a pajama style top. It has a laid back fit but the black and white stripes

keep it chic. I mentioned in a previous post that a pajama style top is an effortless way to look put together. 

This look was all about contrasts from the different textures of the two pieces, the top is a thin chiffon material and the mini is tweed, to the color combo. I love how the black and white stripes work with the mixed blue of the mini. It works because blue, in my eyes, is a pop of color but pairs like a neutral.

Take an average outfit into a one of a kind look by...

adding a pop of color on the lips...

contrasting accessories...

and a fun pair of shoes.

Cool & Casual

Over the holiday my family and I went to the Philadelphia Christmas Village, it was great if I had gotten this up sooner

 I'd say go, it is now closed -- there's always next year!

I wanted to keep it casual but still have some fun with the look.

Denim blue jeans, for me, are central to a casual and effortless look; add a pair of ankle boots like the pointed ones I'm sporting to take it up a notch. 

For the top, I went for a pajama-inspired top its casual in the right ways (loose fit, comfy, easy to work with) but still 

looks put together. Throw on a long trench style jacket to tie 

the look together. 

I love this jacket because it can be dressed down or up.

 It keeps me warm without the bulkiness.

How to Handle the Summer Heat in Fall

How to Handle the Summer Heat

 in Fall

After a teaser week of crisp weather filled with an eagerness to celebrate everything Fall; sweaters, booties, long cardis, leather pants, and if that's your thing PSLattes.
We have been hit with hot summer like days.

So how do we embrace fall but avoid melting... 

Flowy shorts and sweaters make for a great transtion outfit. Adding a pair of oxfords or booties with interestiong detail or pop of color will bring the look togehter and add a cool factor to a simple outfit.

The goal is to stay cool in the heat and look effortless.

Another outfit centered around my shoes.

 I got these boots as a gift!

The fringe on the boots were just 

begging to be worn with western style.

However the blue calls for a more

modern take on that.

(I've been loving the tucked hair into jacket look
 so much this season!)

It was a casual ripped up jeans and 

fuzzie sweater kind of day but...I 

had to add some contrasting leather.

Also, Ariel decided to make an appearance in

the form of my phone case/latest obsession.

2015 Rewind

2015 Rewind

Eight days into the new year and it's time to look back at 2015's outfit highlights. 

It was a fun year in fashion or should I say STYLE. 

I love how comfortable yet daring I have become with my personal style. Knowing your personal taste, being able to say this is

 my look and this is how I like to pair things is an 

accomplishment to bask in. Don't get me wrong trends are nice 

and the occasional fast fashion fix is awesome 

but style is all you! (corny I KNOW haha but true)

Let 2016 be the year of  finding your personal style. 

Challenge yourself to avoid the easy trends. 

Go with patterns and fits you like. Try something different. 

You may fall in love with pointed boots even though you definitely side eyed them for years (ahem, talking to myself!) 

Most importantly, have fun with it.

I wish everyone a very Blessed new year.

Last Chance at Summer

Last Chance at Summer

With Labor Day just have passing and me going back to school I guess it's time to say goodbye to summer. I'm just glad I have a tan to take with me into winter!

Luckily for me I guess my favorite band came into town the day before I was set to start classes. So my official to summer looked like this...

Concerts are my happy place. I turn into such a dancing queen hahha 

so comfort is a big thing for me!  

The venue had a strict small or clear bag policy, last time I took a travel bag from Sephora but I needed pockets! I got this bag as a gift and was determined to use it at least once hahha so here is my attempt. I think I'm going to try again and let you guys know how that goes.

I hope you all had a great summer or if summer is just staring for you wherever you are enjoy it!

Back to it

Back to It

I know its been awhile but work is consuming my life currently but it feels sooo good to get back to blogging I forget 

how much fun I have writing the post and taking pictures. 

This was a look that popped into my head in the middle of the night so I jotted it down in my phone so I wouldn't forget. I ended up wearing it the next day to church. 

A variation of this would be a cute back to school outfit. Pair it with something closed toed and chunky to give it a more casual feel or something strappy if you wanna spruce it up.
