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. 

Full outfit without the sweater

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.

Hi All!

Happy Thursday!

It’s officially the last week of classes. I’m wrapping up my LAST spring semester and getting ready for summer. The end of the school year for graduating seniors means lots of ceremonies, celebrations and fun activities. Since, I am graduating in December, I am able to participate in a lot for the fun festivities. From Honor’s induction Ceremonies, to Senior Department Dinners, these past few weeks have busy but so fun! With all these events means lots of outfits. Today, I’m sharing a business casual look that could work for one of these events as well as a job interview or day at the office.

A preppy and spring business casual outfit

I wore this look for an Induction ceremony, I didn’t get a whole lot of pictures of my look since I was busy, but let’s break down the look. 

I love these navy blue dress pants from The Limited. They are perfect for the spring and summer since they go to the ankle. Also, with a solid pant, you can wear fun and bolder tops. 

I decided to wear the bright pink top. I got it from Francesca’s Boutique. I love how versatile this top is, I have worn it with jeans, leggings, a skirt, or dress pants. I really liked how it brought out the spring colors with the navy blue pants.  I love to wear it with business casual outfits.

A more up close picture of the outfit

It was a bit breezy outside when I wore this wore this outfit and I wanted something to cover my shoulders. I was debating on wearing a blazer with it, but opted for a long white sweater to bring more color to the outfit. This is my favorite long sweater, I got it from the Scandal collection from The Limited. I loved how all these pieces worked well together. 

I finished the outfit off with a pair of nude heels from DSW a few years ago. These shoes are comfortable, versatile, and long lasting. I have worn them for years. There is nothing better than having a good pair of heels. 

A quick picture with my parents who came out to support me!

I hope this gives you some inspiration for your next business casual outfit. Don’t be afroad to step out of your comfort zone when putting outfits together. 

I’m off to soak up one last weekend with my friends before we all go out separate ways for the summer. Have a great weekend! See you next Tuesday!

Look of the Day #98

Hi guys!

Happy Thursday!

I hope you all have had a fulfilling and productive week! Today’s look of the day is going to be a bit different since I am going to be talking about a fashion trend and making it your own. 

One trend that never seems to go out of style is concert t-shirts. They are a great piece of memorabilia from going to your favorite concert and you can wear them time and time again, the one problem I have with concert t-shirts is knowing where and when to wear them. Just with jeans? With sweats around the house or to the gym? It can be a hard piece of clothing to wear with outfits. After collecting t-shirts from a lot of concerts, I think I found the solution. Make a statement outfit with you t-shirt.

Favorite mantra-favorite concert

I’m going to show you an outfit I styled a few weeks ago, that still looks put together even with a t-shirt. Let’s get to it!

We will start with the central part of the outfit-the concert t-shirt. Last summer, I went to see The Piano Guys in concert in New York, for those of you who aren’t familiar with The Piano Guys, you should totally check them out they started on YouTube, perform covers of hit songs as well as write their own songs. They are still an up and coming group but already have a large following. I got one of their t-shirts when I saw them over the summer, their shirt is a quote from one of my favorite songs from them. You can listen to it here-seriously such an uplifting and motivating song. 

  • The Piano Guys
  • One of my favorite summer shows
  • Check them out on Youtube
  • The Piano Guys
  • Throwback to seeing them in concert last year!

Now, back to the outfit details, I paired this shirt with a new pair of black leggings that are fleece lined! Your girl is officially in heaven, not only are these leggings comfortable and long lasting but are now extra warm-perfect for cool evenings or chilly days. Believe it or not, I got these leggings for Christmas from the Hallmark store- you never know where you are going to find a new piece of clothing to add to your collection. 

Up close of the outfit

I paired the dark leggings with my go to high black boots from DSW, which as much as I hate to say it, I think this might be my last time wearing them for the season since Spring is around the corner, as much as I am ready and here for Spring, I’m going to miss these staple shoes in my winter collection. 

Closer look at one of my favorite parts-the fleece lined leggings!

Since it was still a bit chilly out, I decided to wear my long off-white sweater just to have an extra layer on. I’ve talked about this sweater time and time again but it truly is a go-to sweater for my wardrobe in every season. The sweater is from the Scandal Collection at The Limited. 

This outfit is the perfect compromise for making your favorite concert t-shirts into an outfit. What are your favorite ways to wear your favorite concert t-shirts?!

Let me know in the comments below!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Look of the Day #89

All ready for a day at work

LOTD

Hello All! Happy Thursday! These past few weeks have been going by so fast. I can’t believe we are already done with the first full week of February. I have the weekend off of work, so I am looking forward to relaxing, catching up on sleep and hanging out with friends. I have a feeling it’s going to be a good weekend. Just one more day until the weekend. 

I am so excited to share today’s outfit with you. It is such a versatile outfit. It’s a staple that I wear a lot when I am home for work since it’s appropriate for the workplace but it also works great for school since you look put together while also being comfortable. These photos are from when I was home working over Christmas break, but since I have come back to school I have worn this for classes and meetings. Let’s break this outfit down. 

Comfortable and professional, the best of both worlds

I love the faux leather leggings. I got them a few years ago from Target.  They feel like leggings when you are wearing them but from a far they look like a pair of skinny dress pants. I like to wear these when I know I have a busy day ahead of me and I know I am going to be on the go. I paired them with my high black dress boots from DSW for more of a professional look, but I have also paired this outfit with Uggs which worked just fine especially with the winter weather. 

This blue top is a staple of mine in the closet. I got it from GAP. I adore the material, it is a luxe shirt meaning it is so soft and silky. I couldn’t have asked for a better combination. I love that this top can be dressed up or down. I decided to top this outfit off with my long winter white sweater from Scandal Style from the Limited. Once again, this outfit looks professional but also comfortable.

Up close of the details

I topped the outfit off with gold jewelry and my gold bar necklace, a simple yet elegant piece of jewelry.

I know I am going to be wearing these pieces on rotation for the next few months with the cold weather.  I hope you all have warm and productive weekends and you make some room for some fun in there too!

What pieces do you constantly wear in the winter months?

Look of the Day #41

Happy March!!!

February has flown by and I really hope Spring is around the corner. I am hoping this is the last winter outfit I get to share with you all. This outfit would be perfect for any Spring Break traveling or for running errands on the weekend.

Staying cozy and comfortable.

I have shared this statement piece poncho before with a more dressed up look, but today’s outfit is all about being casual and comfortable. I got this poncho from the Scandal Style the Limited Collection. It is from the show Scandal, one of my favorite shows. Olivia Pope wore a look alike sweater like this in the series. It is both comfortable and chic, two things you want in the things you wear. The sweater is a big statement piece that changes my whole outfit.

I am wearing a simple pair of black leggings and a long sleeve black shirt under the poncho. They are both from GAP. I like to wear simple and neutral colors when I am wearing a bold, statement piece like this sweater.

These boots have been a lifesaver for me this year. They are from Sperry. They keep my feet warm and dry from rain, snow, and everything else in between. They are one of my smartest purchases. I got mine from DSW.

Favorite boots

I’m wishing, hoping, and praying that this is my last winter fashion post. I am beyond ready for floral, pastels, and not more winter coats. Who else is with me!?!? Happy Thursday friends! See you on the flip side!
