The Bare Minimum

Hello!!. Today I went for the most simplest outfit by choosing a plain white t-shirt and black leggings as the foundation of my outfit. When I leave my house in the morning it is normally the coldest time of the day, so I layered underneath my moto leather jacket an open long cardigan to keep me warm and cover my bottom-half. I accessorized with an statement necklace from Forever 21 I brought years ago and over the knee boots I brought from Daffy's before they went out of business.  I topped off the look with my favorite floppy hat that I literally wore all week in different ways (seen HERE on instagram).  

Here is a recreation of today's outfit brought to you by Polvore.

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.

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.

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.
