Layered Basics

 

 

 

 

Hello, Everyone !!!.

 

When I really love items in my closet I have the tendency to wear them often which is evident in this outfit. I've worn this sweatshirt with a stripe skirt,  black trousers and these exact skinny jeans in the past seasons. Last weekend I decided to layer a white shirt underneath the sweatshirt with a pair of black skinny jeans. This outfit would look great with ripped black skinny jeans and high heel pumps as well which I'm currently on the hunt for by the way. I swapped out the leather jacket this time for a boxy black blazer and accessorized with simple lace up flats and a large tote bag.

How to Wear a Graphic Sweatshirt

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!!.

 

 

It is the end of the first week of October but you couldn't tell by the cold winter temperatures over the weekend.  If you were more like me and were expecting fall - like temperatures , you were highly disappointed when temperatures failed to reach mid 50's. I thought I was doing the right thing by wearing a graphic sweatshirt but it was quite cold and the drenching rain and wind did not help the situation. With such bad weather, I didn't hesitate to pair my sweatshirt with my favorite black high waisted skinny jeans to avoid looking soaking wet.  I may need to invest in some rain boots earlier than expected but until then I choose to wear my new pair of lace- up flats. They are a great fashion dupe for the shoe designer, Aquazzura that I mentioned in a previous post (seen HERE). I choose a leather jacket to layer over the sweatshirt for warmth and accessorized with a statement necklace and bangles to jazz the outfit up.

Happy Weekend!!!

I hope you are having an amazing start to your weekend. Comfort was key for me yesterday. I had important midterms to take and I needed to work my learning muscle and not so much my fashion muscle so I choose the most casual piece in any women's closet, joggers formerly known as sweatpants. 

 Joggers are not only reserved for the gym anymore they can be easily dressed down or up. These leather joggers add sophication to a otherwise casual piece. It's no brainer that I paired the joggers with my Peter Pilotto sweatshirt that was released at Target last year. I love a good collaboration with one of my favorite stores of all time. 

I still owned pieces from earlier collaborations with Target such as Libertine, Erin Fetherson, Proenzer Schouler, Patrick Robinson and Behnaz Sarafpour to name a few. These leather quilted slip-on sneakers are inspired by a pair by Steve Madden for half the price. In the words of June Ambrose "Fur adds immediate glamour, even when wore casually" I couldn't agree more. I finished the look with my new favorite moto-leather jacket and black faux fur collar.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

Hello, Everyone!!!. Today I woke up to some great news, the temperatures is expected to reach the low to mid 70'S. Although it is not normal temperatures for late Fall, it is the perfect weather to wear my off-white midi skirt as I planned ( post HERE). I swapped out the slip-on sneakers for suede black booties and added a black cowl to keep me warm during the morning hours.

I love when my visions come to life!!!.

Midi Magic

I think every women have mornings where she has pile of clothes all over her closet but she still have nothing to wear. This translates to you knowing who you are however you do not know how you want to be portrayed for that day. Today was that day for me, the outfit I planned in advance was not appropriate for the weather.













I wanted to extended the life of my off white midi skirt I wore in the summer with wedge sandals and tank top by pairing it with my printed sweatshirt, leather jacket and slip-on sneakers. Although I was not able to wear this outfit today I plan on saving this look for a warmer day in October (fingers crossed). Here are some pieces that are similar to what I already own in my closets to create the look I have in mind.
