Platform Photoshoot

Hello, Everyone, I have some exciting news!!.

The semester is officially over, today was my last day for finals. Here is a quick look at what I wore to school. I really am a New Yorker at heart because I will use any excuse to wear almost all black especially on a rainy day. In my opinion black can be worn every season and for every occasion. I choose a pair of simple black pants from H&M that are slightly high-waisted.  Just like the color black, crops tops can be worn all year long by layering it under thicker jackets or sweaters.

 I choose to pair my crop top with a open sweater and accessorized with a multi-layered necklace. Today I was going for a casual look so I added my favorite wedge sneakers in black, of course. 

To add some glam, I choose my leather jacket and faux fur vest as my outerwear. 

Sidenote: The Pumpkin Spice latte from Dunkin Donuts is my Winter favorite drink !!!. 

You must try it

It definitely helped me stay awake during my morning classes.

Old Man Winter is coming, Can you feel it?..

This is the crucial moment when you have to pick outfits that will keep you stylish but most importantly warm. I think I achieved that yesterday by strategic layering. Although I am a Winter baby I still find myself contemplating on what to wear when the temperature says one thing but it feels much colder.

 I started out with this amazing  oversized sweater that I found at a thrift store but it is from H&M Who would give up this great piece, but you know what they say "Someones trash is another's treasure". 

My foundation pieces were a simple beige tank and dark skinny denim because I wanted to keep focus on this awesome sweater!!. I decided to cinch the waist with a wide belt that closes with gold hardware, How chic, right?!!!.. I brought it at Banana Republic when I worked there a few years ago. 

 I completed the look with a gold choker necklace and brown knee high boots from Banana Republic. 

A little back-story on these boots, I found them at a thrift store for $9!!! and they just happen to be from Banana Republic as well. They have the right amount of heel so you are able brave the cold

I guess you can say that I had a little bit of a thrift shopping problem, huh?!!...

I finished the look with my favorite camouflage printed 

coat and matching cowl.

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 ...
