Look of the Day #23

Happy Fall to All!

Today’s look is another perfect fall outfit. I wore it for a presentation in class and it worked great serving its purpose.  This look is more on the formal side but can be dressed up or down depending on what accessories you include.

Let’s start at the top. This cropped black jacket is a favorite of mine for fall and winter. It is thicker which works great for the upcoming cold months. It also has a bit of a sporty look to it which can really change and outfit.

I have worn this silk top before from Francesca’s with a pair of jeans but I’m wearing it again to show it in a different look. The pinks and purples add a pop of color to the outfit. The top is ¾ length sleeves which is great for fall.

I got these faux leather leggings from Target. They have an Aztec print on them and are super comfortable but my favorite part is that they don’t even look like leggings. I love the faux leather look and they add  a new dimension to the outfit besides wearing just a plain pair of black  leggings.

These are the first time you are seeing these high black leather boots on me but it won’t be the last. These are my favorite fall/winter boots. The look great with jeans, leggings, even a cotton dress or skirt. Throw on a pair of over the knee socks and you got yourself a complete outfit. In the winter i wear boots all the time. Having cute boots, really complete an outfit.

Well, there you have it my look from head to toe. I hope you find some inspiration with it. Happy Thursday!

Look of the Day #19

Sporty-chic

Are you in search for a casual but sporty look for the fall? I have just the outfit for you today. I threw this outfit together one Saturday when it was warm in the morning but cool at night. Last week, I shared how I try to stick to wearing colors perfect for fall and this is another example.

Let’s break down this outfit starting from the bottom. Because it’s still early fall, converse are still acceptable, in a few weeks it will be time for boots, short and tall. I wore leggings with this outfit since I was out and about but, black jeans or black pants work just as well. I got this leggings from GAP, I love how thick they leggings are and they last a long time. In any season, I try to keep my pants a neutral color so I can have more fun with the top and accessorizing it. My burgundy sheer top is from Tilly’s. It has three-quarter length sleeves so it works nicely in transitional weather. Because the top is sheer I typically wear a tank top underneath. My sweater is also from Tilly’s. The is one of my favorite dark sweaters to wear in the fall and winter. It’s over-sized so it covers not only your top but leggings and booty as well. I don’t always wear long sweaters since I’m short but if I find one that fits well, then I buy it. Plus they work great for leggings. Since I am wearing a lot of dark colors I decided to wear a long gold necklace from Francesca’s as well as gold earrings to break up the color scheme.

That’s what I am wearing today, I hope this gave you some ideas to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to clothes. Have a beautiful fall weekend.

Hall Fall!

Fall is in full swing and it’s time to start dressing like it. This outfit is a perfect look for a day at the office, a dinner with family, or Sunday mass.  I recently wore this at home for Sunday mass and dinner after. It is still early enough in the season so this short-sleeve dress worked perfect for an early fall day spent with family.

Whenever a new season rolls around, I like to change my color palette of outfits. In the autumn, I love to wear plum, brown, olive green, and navy blue just to name a few colors. I got this olive green dress from Francesca’s Boutique two years ago. It’s a simple green dress but can be layered if needed depending on the season and weather.

I love how you can add a bold or simple piece of jewelry to accessorize your outfit. I decided to make this look more simple with a pair of gold hoops and a gold, long necklace. Necklaces can truly do wonders for an outfit. I wear chokers, chunky necklaces, and long necklaces. Any of those styles can work with a simple solid color dress. Because it is fall, I decided to make gold and brown my accent colors. My jewelry is gold and my shoes and purse (not pictured) are leather and brown.

These shoes are a staple for me in the fall. I got them from T.J. Maxx two years ago and they have worked as a great fall shoe boot. The brown, leather peep toe boot works great to dress up a pair of jeans and a blouse. They can also be paired with a solid or busy brown dress or even a corduroy skirt. These shoes are great for transitional weather from summer to fall or winter to spring.

I hope this look gave you some inspiration for some fall colors or fall fashion. I can’t wait to see what fall trends will be coming out soon.

One last summer look!

It’s time to fire up the grills and put on those swim suits one last time for Labor Day! Whether you are home with family and friends or hitting the books like I am, I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Labor Day.

This outfit is perfect for a picnic by the pool or a cookout with family.  I got this slip-on blue and turquoise dress from Francesca’s Boutique. It’s lightweight and a great summer color. The best part of it? I got it on SALE! You can dress it up with a pair or wedges for a night out on the town or you can dress it down with sandals or flip flops for a summer picnic.

This hat is a perfect accessory to go with it. I got mine from Francesca’s as well but you can find hats similar at many other retail stores. Hats are coming back in style more and more. You can wear a different hat every season and it could still work with any looks.

A perfect summer hat.

It’s a bold accessory that won’t go unnoticed and it will protect you from the sun. What more could you ask for?

Let summer go out in style and celebrate one last time with this look for Labor Day!

Look of the Day # 13

Summer is quickly coming to an end so I’m trying to wear as many summer outfits as possible.
I’m loving this romper to wear day or night as summer is winding down.

Although I wear sundress or short sets, I’m always down for a romper, it’s quick, easy, fashionable, and a big trend this summer. I got this jean romper from Francesca’s Boutique, a favorite store of mine. One of the many reasons I am rocking this romper is because it’s a simple one piece that can be dressed up or dressed down.

I decided to dress it up with wedges and gold jewelry, however you can wear a pair of sandals or flip flops for a more casual look. You can make the look more dramatic with a pair of gladiator sandals. If you are going for a sporty look, a pair of converse would work as well. If you are wearing it out to dinner, a sweater and clutch can be paired with it as well. There are so many ways to wear this simple outfit, the possibilities are endless.

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer for they are fleeting.

Look of the Day #6

Last week I shared a dressed up and more formal look, Today I am sharing how you can use the same pieces to dress the look down. I wore this over the weekend spending time with my family. It was a perfect casual look to sport.

Starting at the bottom, I got these gladiator sandals last summer from DSW and they have been a crucial part of my wardrobe. They are fun and unique since they are black, they can go with anything, shorts, skirts, even a t-shirt dress.

Shoes from DSW

I got my shorts last summer as well from Marshalls but they are originally from Nine West. They are comfortable and a bit longer so you can wear a longer top with them.

Shorts from Marshalls

This top is the same one I wore last week with my orange skirt. I got the top from Francesca’s.

The necklace is also the same from last week to add a pop of color! I purchased that from Francesca’s as well.

Lastly, the hat I got this summer from Marshalls. It was a total splurge purchase, but I am so happy I got it. It is big and protects you from the sun and it’s black which matched perfectly with my outfit.

A fun hat to finish off the outfit!

Well, that’s the rundown of what I am wearing today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Look of the Day #5

Is it Friday yet?! Haha!! It’s been one of those weeks. Today may be one of my favorite outfits of the summer and we are only half way through June!!!

I wore this ensemble on Sunday to Church and I plan on wearing it in the future to work and a few parties I have coming up. I love to dress things up when I can. Sunday was one of those days.

Starting from the bottom, I got these heels from Marshall’s a few years ago, and I love them!!!! I know heels aren’t for everyone but for me, I can’t get enough of them! They are super comfortable, high, and black!! All my favorite things! I wore them once to a dance and didn’t take them off for four hours! Yep, no pain!

This skirt is from Target believe it or not! It’s from the Victoria Beckham collection that launched in the spring! I love the bright orange, the detail and print, and I love the Victoria Beckham style!! I saw it and had to get it! Plus it has a pocket! Nothing better than having a hidden pocket in a skirt or dress!

Here’s a up close view of the skirt to show the details.

My top is from Francesca’s! I’ve had it for a few years and it’s still on excellent condition. I love how Francesca’s clothes are superior quality. This silky black top is simple in the front but lace in the back. A great top to dress up a pair of capris, shorts, or skirts.

Lastly, my necklace is from Francesca’s as well. I love wearing bold colors and this orange and black combo was perfect for a Sunday with family.

Have a very happy weekend!!!

Happy First Day of June!! Although, the start of summer is officially this month, it is only going to reach the low 60’s today. We have a way to go until we are spending days at the beach with 80 degree weather.

Today’s look of the day is a lightweight outfit you can wear on cool mornings and warmer afternoons. I chose to wear a busy top as my accent article of clothing and paired it with a neutral pair of pants and shoes.

The top is from Francesca’s, which is one of my favorite stores. They always have fun, unique clothing that you won’t find at big department stores. I always find different pieces of clothing to add to my closet. I have worn this lightweight, silky top during all four seasons. You can dress it up with a pencil skirt and heels for a day at the office or dress it down with a pair of jeans or leggings for a day of getting errands done. In the summer, I have even worn this top with a pair of Bermuda shorts and it worked great. I love clothes that can be paired with several kinds of bottoms.   My leggings are from Target. I like the washed out blue jean look with my top.   I decided to pair my top with leggings since it’s supposed to warm up in the afternoon, but I typically wear jeans with the top. Lastly, to get into the summer mode, I wore a pair of tan sandals from Kelly and Katie. They have fantastic prices, they are comfortable and stylish!

Here’s a little look into what I’m wearing today. Let me know what you would wear with this top. I love getting suggestions for new outfits!

Happy Thursday!!
