Look of the Day #121

LOTD

 Another week is behind us. I can’t believe we are halfway through September. This month needs to slow down. I am trying to enjoy every day and be present in everything I am doing in this season of life. One thing I am looking forward to in the next few weeks is for the weather to be a bit more consistent. Last week it was in the high 80’s and this week it’s much more manageable with the 70’s. I know this is something so many of us struggle with, but picking out outfits that work for the chilly mornings and hot afternoons can be hard to put together. I try my best to pick outfits that are versatile and work in different weather conditions. 

Today’s look of the day is an example of one of those outfits.

It was cool in the morning and hot in the afternoon. I had fall on my mind so I wanted an outfit that would give off the fall vibes but also be comfortable. 

I first opted for this velvet gold short sleeve top from Old Navy to start off the outfit. I love this top for the color as well as the different ways to wear it. I have worn it previously in the winter with black skinny jeans

and  in the summer with dress pants,

Or in the summer

but I really like how it works with navy blue jeans and brown boots. It made my get more into the autumn season with gold hues. I also like how it is short sleeve, therefore it works for the warm days in September.

Full look at the outfit

I opted for a pair of navy-blue denim boot jeans from Old Navy as well. These jeans worked great in the chilly morning, plus they are slimming, and I love the style of them. I can’t it to wear them more in upcoming fall and winter months. 

Lastly, I wore my favorite fall peep toe boots with this outfit. Once again, it has the fall feel with the brown leather, but at the same time it has an open toe which works great for warm weather. 

I also opted for more neutral and natural looking make up. Due to the gold top, I wore more gold hues with my bronzer, highlighter, and then for a lip color I went for a bare nude color.

Make up details

I love rewearing tops and bottoms in different outfits and finding what outfits I can create without breaking the bank. What fall trends are you looking forward to with the upcoming season?

Look of the Day #91

Hi Guys!

Happy Thursday or TGIT, am I right?!

I’m so ready for the weekend! I’m heading home for the weekend for a much needed break and vacation. I’m doing some traveling over Spring Break, so I won’t be home then, therefore, I am taking a weekend off to spend time with family and relax. More on my spring break adventures next week! Not only am I looking forward to seeing family but also for the Oscars! Is anyone planning on watching?! Awards season is my favorite time of year! Haha! 

Now, moving on to today’s look of the day. The weather this month has been all over the place, some days it’s cold and snowy, other days its warm and rainy, it has been such weird weather to dress for. This outfit is perfect for these weird days, warm for cold mornings but cool for warm afternoons. Let’s get to the details. 

Warm and cozy for February

I’m wearing my go-to jeans with this outfit, my regular straight legged jeans get so much use in the fall and winter. I love how you can wear them with shoe boots, heels, or flats. So versatile! I got my pair from Old Navy, no better place to get affordable jeans. I decided to pair them with my black leather shoe boots. These shoe boots are from Marshalls from several years ago, they are so comfortable and can go with so many things. 

Cooler outfit for the warmer weather

This top is one of my favorite things to wear in my wardrobe when I need a change in the winter. I got this top from Francesca’s Boutique. I shared this top in a dressier outfit here. Today’s outfit is more casual. I love how the top can dress up an outfit, also it works great for transitional weather. 

I decided to accessorize this outfit with the gold and blue drop earrings which are a simple accessory but add a lot to an outfit.

This blue wool coat is worn on repeat in the winter months. I got this coat from Old Navy and it is perfect to wear with an all blue outfit or for a more of a dressier outfit. This scarf is also the perfect accessory for this blue winter coat. I got this scarf for Christmas and I love how warm and soft it is and the colors of pink, white, and blue work great with the blue jacket. 

Scarf and coat details

I love how these are all unique pieces but they work together. I hope this gives you some inspiration for mixing and matching pieces for the transitional weather.

 I hope you have a great weekend. See you next Tuesday!

Happy Thursday friends!

Thursdays are my favorite day of the week…want to know why? Because the week is almost over and there is only one more day till the weekend. Speaking of the weekend, I am getting excited for the weekend with the help of this cute outfit. By this point, you all know how I love to mix and match outfits. I love to mix and match more than I like buying new stuff…almost. I love coming up with different looks and create new outfits with things I already have in my closet. Who doesn’t like to show off a new outfit without spending a penny?

Let’s get to the details.

All smiles for the weekend

Last week, I talked about transiting my wardrobe from summer to fall, although it is still very warm outside, I am starting to wear darker colors to start getting in the fall mood. The colors I chose for my outfit are burgundy and black, even though I am in shorts and a short sleeve shirt, it still felt like a good mix of fall and summer.

I got this Fri-Yay shirt from Francesca’s Boutique. It is such a staple in my closet especially on Fridays when I have plans for the weekend. This black top can go with any outfit whether it is jeans, shorts, or leggings. I’m obsessed.

These scalloped shorts are also from Francesca’s Boutique, I have worn them a lot of this summer and last summer and I loved how well they worked with this top. The colors blended so well.

There was a bit of a chill in the air so I wore this long black sweater to keep warm, and I love the fall(ish) look it added to my outfit. I got this sweater from Tilly’s. 

For shoes, I put on my favorite black sneakers. I got mine from Target and wore them a lot this summer but I’m looking forward to wearing them in the fall even more. Not only are they comfortable but also stylish.

I don’t often post selfies, but I wanted to show off my burgundy choker and how it complements my shorts.

That’s the latest out I am wearing. I know it may seem crazy but I’m really looking forward to some cooler weather so I can really get into the fall mood.

Happy fri-yay

Have a fantastic weekend!

Look of the Day #68

It’s September!!

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE summer but once September hits, I can’t wait for fall. The only problem with that is even though it’s September, it’s still super warm where I live. Although, I want to break out all the flannels, jeans, and boots, its still 80 degrees outside. Haha! Therefore, I am still wearing shorts, t-shirts and summer styles of clothing for the next few weeks but don’t worry-my white is put away until next year. Haha!

With that being said, here is what I am wearing today.

Getting in all the summer outfits

I got this fun silk-like blouse from Old Navy a few years ago and I love to wear it with shorts (black or white), capris, or even a pair of jeans in cooler weather.

Since it reached mid-80’s today, I decided to wear a pair of black shorts from Old Navy with it. I chose black to darken the outfit a bit since we are getting closer to fall weather and moving away from summer weather.

There was a bit of a chill this morning, so I wore this fuchsia sweater over this spaghetti strap top. The pink sweater also brought out the pink accents in my top. Don’t be surprised but I also got this sweater from Old Navy...shocker right?! Haha!

To continue to transition this outfit to fall, I decided to wear these fun dressy sneakers with my outfit rather than a pair of sandals. I got mine for sale at Target.

Although the weather is still so nice, and I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can, I still try to try to transition my wardrobe. I transition in simple ways like by wearing darker colors, closed toe shoes, or adding sweaters or long sleeves or pants to my wardrobe.

I can’t wait for fall to be in full swing.

When do you start to transition your wardrobe from season to season?
