"The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you’ve got to have a good spirit on the inside. That’s what’s really going to make you look like you’re ready to rock the world."~ Alicia Keys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fall weather is finally here!

Today was the first day I brought out one of my sweaters! Cardigans can be worn any time of the year but sweaters can only come out during special times like fall and winter.  This particular sweater I bought from Kohls on black friday two years ago.  It is by the brand Say What? and I have posted this sweater in my pleather pants post that I made last year.  I used to not wear this sweater often because of how flowy it is.  I never knew how to wear it since it made me look bigger than I actually am.  I was watching Pretty Little Liars and I saw that Aria, Lucy Hale had on a sweater that looked really similar to this so I decided to try to wear it again.  Today I tried something new and I belted it.  Immediately I saw my tiny waist and was ecstatic! Since I added a mint colored belt, I figured I should add more mint to the outfit so I added my dainty mint necklace from Rue21 and then put on my mint chucks to add a little bit of a sporty look without being too over the top.  The rest of my outfit was just black with my RSQ black skinny jeans and a black v-neck from Wet Seal.

My lip color is my Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in the color Crush.  It was just dark enough to scream fall but not super dark that it was intimidating.
 

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn”~Orson Welles

Hello blog readers!

Today I wanted to experiment a bit with mixing patterns.  Wearing two different prints can be super intimidating and taking baby steps can really help expand your wardrobe.  The easiest thing to practice with is stripes and floral.  Stripes are an universal print that goes with pretty much anything.

  Today I wore my green and white striped v-neck from Wet Seal and paired it with my Merona blue and purple floral infinity scarf.  I like how the little bits of green in the scarf match the green in the shirt.  Picking a common color that is not the majority of the print helps the outfit look more put together.  I showed you what my outfit looked like without the cardigan to show how the two patterns look together.  Adding the navy cardigan added a bit of calmness to the look since the navy is also in the scarf, it tones down the craziness of the stripes.  My jeans are by Wallflower and I'm not a huge fan of the way these jeans look on me but, my favorite plain blue jeans were in the washer.  

I paired my outfit with my cream slip-on Converse shoes and my glasses.  I am not wearing any makeup besides a little concealer and powder since I only had two classes today.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you want me to write more about pattern mixing or anything else you are curious about!

School Outfit #17

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the late post but I was caught up on homework.  This morning was really cold so I decided to wear my leather jacket.  I just bought this jacket from TJ Maxx and it is by the brand joujou.  I love the piping detail on the shoulders, it just makes it a little more special.  The black and white checkered shirt I am wearing is by the brand Merona and I am in love with it! I again paired my top with my Decree skinny jeans and a black skinny belt.  I put on my nude loafers by Lower East Side and I thought my outfit looked good enough to skip on the jewelry and makeup.  The look is simplistic yet interesting because of the mix of pattern with texture.  

Sorry again for the late post!

School Outfit #16

"Fashion is not just beauty, it is about good attitude.  You have to believe in yourself and be strong."~Adriana Lima

Hello!

The outfit I wore today is really easy to execute.  All it consists of is a pair of jeans, a cami, a sweater and a pair of shoes.  The jeans I am wearing are from Old Navy and they are just a nice simple pair of dark blue jeans.  My mint and navy striped cardigan is by the brand Merona and I purchased it from Target.  The sleeves are a tad bit short so I like to scrunch them up to my elbow to give it more of a polished look.

  Since the cardigan has some knitted parts to it, I have to wear a camisole underneath it so I do not show skin through.  I chose a black one for this outfit but any neutral or contrasting color would look great as well.  I loved the way my seaglass Converse looked with this cardigan and then I added my silver collar necklace that I bought from Charlotte Russe. I love this outfit since it is very simple but still super cute.  I have worn an outfit similar to this when I went to an informal job interview since it still looks very professional without being too dressy.  I did not do anything special for my makeup today so I did not think a selfie was necessary today.

Thank you for all the support!

Happy Monday!

Today is the last warm day for awhile and I decided to take advantage of my summer clothes for (maybe) a final time.  The dress I am wearing is by the brand Xhilaration and it is one of my favorite dresses to throw on.  It has pockets and I love the color blocking towards the bottom of the skirt.  I paired it with a mint belt that I think I got from Rue21.  It added a nice touch to the dress and made it a little more put together.  To bring more mint into the outfit, I wore a simple dainty mint necklace from Rue21.  I love putting the same color in more than one place in the outfit since it just looks more complete.  I threw on my Sam & Libby sandals and my outfit was complete! 

My lips are tinted with my Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in the color Cherish, which is a cool toned pink that is perfect for summer!

What do you think of my new haircut? I am still getting used to it since it is so different than what it usually is but, I think I like the change.  Let me know!

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”~Leonardo da Vinci

Hello everyone! 

I am really, really sorry for the picture for today! I completely forgot to take one so I asked my roommate to quick snap a picture and it is not the most flattering.  My outfit was really simple starting with a pink sharkbite tank top from Tilly's.  I wore a pink camisole of the same color underneath because the shirt is a little too flowy and I didn't want to accidentally flash someone.  I threw on a pair of black lacy shorts from Rue21 and my slip-on cream Converse shoes.  I wore my teal leaf necklace backwards so it was gold.  I did have on my denim jacket but, I put it in the washer so I did not have it when I took the picture. 

 

The lipstick shade I am wearing is Cherry Picking by Wet N Wild.  I used it almost like a tint but this color is PIGMENTED! Holy geeze this color is so intense that it took a lot of blotting and chapstick to lessen the color this much.  I do love the way it turned out though!




Thank you all so much for all the support!

"Fashion is about something that comes from within you"~Ralph Lauren

Hello everyone!

Today I wore a peachy coral shirt with tulip sleeves by the brand Japna.  I purchased this shirt at TJ Maxx and I love the way it fits.  It is flowy yet structured so it can also be used in professional settings.  My jeans are from Old Navy and are my favorite pair of non-skinny jeans.  My shoes are my cream crochet Toms that I have mentioned in previous posts.  My necklace from Rue21 and the coral in the necklace matches the shirt almost perfectly.  I also have on a brown belt, which you cannot see from this picture, from Tilly's to pull the whole look together

I only put on powder and mascara today keeping my look very natural.

Hope you return soon!
