Pretty in Lace

 

 

 

Hello Everyone!!!.

 

I thought we retired the Summer season until next year but clearly mother nature didn't receive that memo. However I love any excuse to wear sheer skirts without the hassle of wearing tights. If you want to prolong the lives of your sleeveless dress, I would suggest to wear any top or sweater of your liking over it. Today I decided to pair my sleeveless lace maxi dress with a graphic t-shirt and no one is the wiser. I knotted the front of the t-shirt to show off my waist. To put the look together I accessorized with a leather jacket, floppy hat and double stranded silver necklace.

Keep Calm and Love Plaid

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!.

 

 

You know Fall is offically here when you gravitate towards to the plaid items in your wardrobe. Whenever I wear this plaid scarf from Target I like to pick the standout colors in the scarf to complete the look. I started off with this hunter green flared skirt which I paired with my handy dandy denim shirt that I wear too many times than I'll like to admit. I'm wearing my favorite trenchcoat from Shein it is the perfect tan color that compliments my skin tone. I like to find different ways to wear scarves so I swapped out the original belt that comes with the trench coat and belted the scarf with a cognac skinny belt. I always wear a bright red lipstick to match the scarf perfectly.

Dressed Up Fridays

 

Hello, Everyone!!!!.

All I can say is Thank God It's Friday but it doesn't mean you have to dress down on this day. Today I decided to incorporate my casual leather joggers into my look however I choose to dress it up. Joggers always get a bad reputation for being casual and unkept but I am here to dismiss those false assumptions. I paired my joggers with a deep plunge bodysuit for a sexy look instead of a simple white T-shirt which is a causal item.  I topped the look off with an oversized boyfriend fit blazer and accessorized with a long silver necklace. Finally I dressed up the look with lace up sandals that I refuse to pack away.

Outfit Details:
Blazer: Thrift store
Bodysuit: Boohoo
Joggers: Target
Shoes: Shoedazzle (Lelia Stone)
Lipstick: Black Radiance (5014)

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.

On Wednesdays , We Wear Maxi's

Hello, Everyone !!!.

 

 

Although we have about two weeks until October is over, I am finding ways to breathe new life into my favorite maxi dresses. I brought this dress from an affordable boutique in Downtown Brooklyn a few years ago. It has an edgy, geometric Afrocentric print with earthy and green tones that I absolutely adore. It shares a uncanny resemblance to the scarf print column maxi dresses in Givenchy resort '13 collection (seen HERE). I decided to keep the look simple by accessorizing with a gold plated necklace because the dress speaks for itself. I paired the maxi dress with a leather jacket and wedge mules to complete the look.

Dress: Boutique

Leather jacket: Shein
Booties: Banana Republic

Necklace: Fossil

Bag: Forever 21

Lip stain: City Colors (Flirtini)

How to Dress Up Overalls for Fall

 

 

 

Hello, Everyone!!!!.

 

There is a good reason why babies and infants wear overalls  throughout their early years. In my opinion you can never be too old to wear overalls. The first thing that usually comes to mind when you think of overalls is old man farmer pants. I am here to change your perception of the denim onesie. They can be easily dressed down with your favorite striped t-shirt, leather jacket and boots for fall. However I decided to dress up my overalls with  smart key pieces in my wardrobe, the blazer and button up shirt.Who says you have to give up your floral prints during the Fall season. I love the mirrored floral print on this shirt because the florals match my shoes and bag so well. To finish the look  I paired my overalls with a soft pink blazer to dress it up.
