Monochrome Nude

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!!. 

 

Today I turn 28 years old!!!. I can't believe I am two years away from being 30 however I am definitely grateful to live to see another year. I'm not a big birthday party person because I do not like going to clubs. Normally I just have birthday dinner and drinks with family or friends to celebrate my day. However my boyfriend has made secret plans for me this year. Cue the song, "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it".  The only thing I have to do now is put together an amazing outfit that can get me through the night which I'm still debating as we speak. Now let's get into my last outfit as a 27 year old woman. Although it was very cold yesterday as you can tell by the wind in my hair, I refuse to put away my summer skirts. You can not tell by the photos but I found a cool way to wear this thin midi skirt by wearing skinny jeans underneath rather than stockings which currently I am on the hunky for the perfect skin tone tights to wear with non black skirts and boots. I paired the skirt with a chunky turtleneck sweater dress that I tucked in the front to wear as a top. Finally I accessorized with a oversized wrap coat and cognac accessories.

First Day of School

Hello, Everyone !!!!. My mini vacation is officially over (insert sad face here). Today is the beginning of my spring semester and that only means one thing TORTURE  just kidding. To help me get in the swing of things I picked the perfect outfit for my first day back. 

We are still experiencing the aftermath of Winter Storm Juno, honestly I can't wait for the snow and ice to melt so I can wear my heel boots without the risking falling on my backside. 

Today my outfit started from the bottom to top, so I choose a pair of brown over the knee flats boots to keep me grounded. 

I choose to pair the boots with my favorite high waisted skinny jeans that fit perfectly in them.

 To add some warmth I strategically layered a long sleeve t-shirt under a tailored blazer by DKNY that I actually purchased from a thrift store a few years ago. 

I did not stop there with the layers, I belted the blazer with a wide brown belt to create the ultimate hourglass shape. 

I decided to go against wearing any extra accessories to create a simple and chic look.

I finished the look with a recent beauty find that I discovered at my favorite store Target because you can go there for only one thing. My only intention was to find an affordable drugstore foundation but after walking down the aisles I stumbled across a brand by the name of Black Radiance.

 I quickly found the perfect match in their foundation and this amazing red lipstick. I will be buying more of their products in the near future, more like tomorrow.

Outfit Details:

T-shirt: Target

Blazer: DKNY

Jeans: Nordstrom

Boots: Target

Belt: Banana Republic

Lipstick: Black Radiance (5014)

Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it!!

Until nrxt time, XOXO

In the Trenches

Hello, it is the second day of rain in NYC and I'm fully equipped with the perfect trench coat and over the knee boots to stay warm and dry. This trench coat is from the Mad Men collection for Banana Republic.

I have an infatuation with designer collaborations with reasonable prices. I believe I brought this trench coat on sale and with my employee discount it costed close to pennies. Who doesn't love a good bargain?. The silhouette is reminiscent of the fashion in the '60s because of the a-line bottom which was portrayed in the show Mad Men.

My favorite prints hands down are leopard print and stripes, both prints can be worn as neutrals and goes with any and everything. Today I did not want to second guess my outfit so I picked out a sweater and jeans to be the foundation of my outfit. I added a long statement necklace to add some glam to an boring sweater.

A leopard print trench coat elevates the look from casual to dressy. Every women needs a good trench coat on the days when she does not know what to wear especially on rainy days.

Trench Coat: Banana Republic

Sweater: Target 

Jeans: Old Navy " The Rockstar"

Boots: Target 

Necklace: Banana Republic

Bag: Topshop (not shown)

Until next time, XOXO

Maxi-mizied

Dark colored lips scream fall to me. It is the perfect opportunity to wear the darkest colors without any unwanted attention. I am wearing my all-time favorite dark lip by Revlon called Va-Va Violet I lined my lips with a lip liner by Wet n Wild in the color purple to help the lipstick last throughout the day. I continued my dark look by wearing a black lace maxi dress with side splits that I brought on clearance at Target this past summer. The dress is sleeveless so I choose a draped front jacket and black opaque tights to make the dress an fall appropriate outfit. 

Jacket: Forever 21(similar)

Dress: Target (similar)

Boots: Target (exact)

Bag: Banana Republic (old)

Necklace: From Mom's Closet 

I hope you enjoy!!

Until next time, XOXO

Currently Coveting

I started my weight loss journey about two and a half years ago & I'm happy to say I've maintain my goal weight. I did not become a gym buff overnight but I started to watch my portion size and count my calories, eventually the pounds started to melt away. My motivation to lose weight begin when I wasn't able to fit into a pair of jeans that I used to be able to fit.   Initially my weight loss goal was just to fit into my current wardrobe  I did not worry about dropping to a certain dress size. I went down from a size 12/14 to a size 8/10 some people may think its not a drastic weight loss but any amount of weight loss is a victory. I'm so proud of myself. The downside of losing weight is losing your favorite items in your wardrobe that you can no longer fit because they are too big. However the upside of losing weight is being able to buy new clothes to fit your new body better. I'm so proud of myself!!

Here are a few items  I need to replace in my closet at the moment and trendy items I want to add to my fall wardrobe ...
