It's Banana !!!

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!!

Who knew a 5'1" women like myself could look so tall in extreme flares?. I never been a fan of flare jeans because as a petite women I find it to be hard work finding the perfect pair of flare jeans that I do not have to tailor or find the right pair of shoes. But today I said "f" that and I proceeded to pop the tags off these jeans that I had for years but never worn 'til now. I should've taken the plunge a long time ago  but its better late than never, right? If I was smart I would've taking fashion clues from my mom a long time ago who always had a flair for flares. I paired my extreme flares with a loose leopard print top and my camel cape coat that I belted with a suede brown belt. This spring season I plan on wearing more of my flare jeans with platform sandals and simple tops. I'm definitely happy that I jumped head first into this classic staple.

C is for Capes

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!

 

 

Please forgive my absence for the past week but I've been studying for very important exams. Between studying and this freckly weather its getting pretty difficult to dress in the morning but when all else fails, I will always choose an all black outfit with a pop of camel. It is never a bad time to wear it especially in the daytime. I gravitate towards my Fall wool capes when I do not want to commit to a heavy coat just yet. It is the perfect transition outerwear that every women should own this Fall . Since the cape is the star piece, I kept the look simple by layering a black v- neck sweater and wet look leggings underneath. I accessorized with a leopard print handbag and a multi- chained necklace.

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 ...
