Look of the Day #124

LOTD

Hello All!

 Happy Thursday! Tomorrow officially starts my fall break, which is much needed. I haven’t been home since I moved back to school in mid August, and let me tell you, a lot has happened since then. I am eager to get home for a few days of family, relaxing, running errands and getting things done and enjoying all things the fall season has to offer. Before, we get to fall break, I have a few more things to check off my to do list before I go. On days when I am getting ready to head back home or when I leave for home, I always head back to the basics when it comes to clothes. For me, the basics includes comfort and durable, which brings me to today’s outfit.

I am a sucker for straight cut jeans, I am planning on getting a new pair when I am home for fall break since I wear them so often whether in the fall or spring or if I cuff them in the summer for capris. Old Navy always has great sales this time of the year, so I know I will be checking them out when I am home.

I always love a few neutral shirts, including black or white, long and short in my closet. Gap and Old Navy always have reliable shirts that hold up and keep their color even after several washes.

I paired my dark jeans with a black shirt as I do some last minute running around and packing up before I head back home tomorrow.  A simple outfit still looks put together and presentable.

The weather has been changing so much these past few weeks, some mornings its 40 degrees but by mid-afternoon it is in the high 70’s. With the weather changing this fast, I always have a sweater with me. This long white sweater from The Scandal Collection from the Limited, it is not only warm but it also breaks up the darker colors of denim and black. I finished up my outfit with suede shoe boots from Shoe Carnival

I went with gold accent jewelry and neutral makeup with a pop of pink for the lip color.

That’s a peek into what I am wearing this weekend. I hope you all have a fun and relaxing weekend and do something fallish-I know I will be.

Look of the Day #114

Hey guys! I can’t believe it is August 1!? Where has the summer gone! This has been a packed full summer for me and I have loved everything I have done so far! I only have a few weeks left of summer before it’s back to school. I am going to make the most of the remaining weeks of summer. 

I am so excited to share today’s outfit with you. I pieced it together with all things I already had in my wardrobe and I loved the end results. If you read my post on Tuesday, you may have caught that red is my favorite color, but I don’t wear a lot of it since it is so bold. I always jump at an opportunity to wear something fun and out of the box. 

I started my outfit out with a white pair of capris. I got my favorite pair from American Eagle and love the cut and style, they can be worn dressed up or dressed down. I personally like to cuff mine at the bottom for a different look.  I am also wearing a Michael Kors belt that I got on sale from Marshalls! I love bringing out the black even more.

Who doesn’t love a pop of red!

Instead of wearing a black silk blouse, I opted for a solid black shirt from Old Navy. I love the fabric and it works better for running around. 

This read blazer ties the whole outfit together. I typically only wear It around Christmas but have been wearing it more with dresses and pants in the spring and summer for a pop of color. 

Lastly, how cute are these shoes?! I love the ruffles and how they can dress up an outfit. I have had these for a few years and love to break them out to change up my wardrobe.

I also accessorized with pearl studs and a pearl ring along with a silver necklace.

What are your thoughts on the outfit?! Love it? Too bold? Let me know in the comments below!

Look of the Day #66

LOTD

Hi Everyone!

Well, I am back to school and work. It has been a busy week, but I got a chance to snap some pictures of the latest outfit I am wearing. This is another fun outfit for shopping, relaxing, running errands or catching up with friends.

This would not be an outfit for the office but instead heading to class. Even though I have gotten older and have spent more time transitioning to business attire, I still love to have some fun outfits to hang out in.

Let’s break down the outfit details.

Sun’s out for the last few days of summer

We will start with the top, yes, I have no shame admitting that I am a fan of Keeping up with the Kardashians. It’s definitely a guilt pleasure for me. Who doesn’t love to watch family drama go down? Haha! A few years back I visited one of the Kardashian’s stores, DASH,  in New York City and I got this shirt. I don’t wear it often, but when I do I like to dress it up with some outfits. Rather than just have a plain black t-shirt, dress it up with something fun!

I have had these shorts for the longest time. I honestly don’t remember where I got them from, sorry! Once again, I don’t wear them often since they are a bright color, but when I do it’s typically when I am out and about running errands or doing something fun.

My shoes are my favorite part of the outfit. I got them from DSW and I absolutely love them. Not only is the concept super cool but they really can change a look. I have worn them with shorts mostly, but I haven’t tried them with a dress, stay tuned to see if it works!

Lastly, I had to touch on my sunglasses. I have a few different styles of sunglasses, but the aviators worked great with the look I was going for.

I hope you enjoyed a peak into what I am wearing this week! What are your weekend plans?
