How to style a chic and effortless look this Spring

 

        Spring is the season for transition fashion outfits and that means it's time to ditch those heavy winter coats for a light jacket and this change of wardrobe between seasons does not mean that we have to lose our style. We can still look chic and effortless when we style the right pieces in our wardrobe. You can check out the pieces below;

The Trench Coat: The first transition style essential piece that I would recommend is a trench coat. We all need a trench coat in our closet. If you are just starting out building your wardrobe, consider getting a trench coat in a neutral color like beige, brown or black. It goes well with almost any outfit combination. You can throw a trench coat over any style of outfit, be it casual or formal based on the color and style of the trench coat that you get. You know there are different styles of trench coat right especially when it comes to comes to length? Check out  my YouTube Video here.  A classic style in a neutral color trench coat is always a safe bet any time. So, get yourself a trench coat irrespective of where you live; whether Florida or Arizona. You would always have the need for it.

Red Puffy Coat + All black outfit

       Red has been having a moment this winter but more in accessories like gloves, stockings, bags and shoes than in full outfits. This casual look; a black knit dress and red puffy coat is what I wore to an event I volunteered at a few weeks ago. The weather was cold and blustery with snow flakes flying in the air and had my hair whipping across my face. The event I volunteered at required me to be on my feet for a certain time so, I had to wear my Report Signature flat boots. A very simple look as usual...

Hello, Hello and Hi Dear

 

       Hello, hello and hi. It sure has been a long time! This might be the longest I have ever stayed away from this blog. I hope everyone is doing great in this crazy world we live in these days. This is a quick post just to say hi. In this post I am wearing this knit dress I styled here a while back on the blog. There is also a video on my Youtube Channel where I showed several ways to style a knit dress. You can check it out here. I hope to be back again sometime soon. Thanks so much for reading.

Blogging lately...

         Hello, I hope you are doing great and keeping cool from the hot summer weather. Thank you so much for stopping by here again. This is a very quick post about all I have been up to lately. I know I have been a little MIA on here but I have been busy over on YouTube and it's been fun so far..

Knit Dress + Trench Coat

 

       The outfit I am wearing in this post is one of my favorite outfits to wear in the cold weather months; a knit dress, a pair of boots and a jacket or coat. It never gets more complex than this and it works for any occasion or event depending on the style of the knit dress. Do you have a "go to outfit" you wear at any time of the year? Thanks so much for stopping 😁

Green knit dress + Camel coat and three ways I am going green this year

 

        Hi Friends 😀 It's been a while on here. I have not posted an outfit post in a while. It's been so hard taking pictures outdoors due to the extreme Winter weather conditions we have been having in Minnesota. It was cloudy, windy and very cold as I took these pictures and I really, really look forward to warmer temperatures. I have been doing a bit of fashion styling on YouTube though. You can check on me on there whenever I am absent from the blog. My YouTube handle is @Beautysfashionzoneblog

Yellow sweater Dress + white Boots

 

       I sought out a yellow color sweater dress for a long time and was so glad when I finally found this. Styling it was super easy, yellow and white go perfectly together and this pair of boots have been in heavy rotation lately. My embellished headband completed this look. I wore this dress on Easter Sunday and I look forward to styling it again in the Fall. Thanks so much for reading.

All Red Outfit: Red Wool Coat

       Red is the color for the month of February, symbolizing "Heart health month" and also one of  the celebratory colors of love for those who celebrate Valentine and of course, February is also Black History Month. Red is low key one of my favorite colors and my favorite way of styling it is by going the way of monochrome. 

I wore this outfit to Church last Sunday; a red knit dress, red wool coat and reddish brown leather boots to add texture to the outfit. I purchased the red wool coat from Metrostyle years ago and I currently love this olive color lapel coat here. The red sweater bag is an old thrifted piece. You can find similar knit or sweater bags on Etsy.

Houndstooth statement coat + Combat boots

 

       Winter calls for warm cozy coats and even better when the coat is also stylish too. This long gingham coat is that trusted piece for me. I decided to style it with a grey knit dress and combat boots for this post. The weather is starting to warm up and though it was sunny in this post, it was still quite cold. 

However, it's almost time to put away the winter coats but this piece would definitely be the last to be stowed away. And I have said it on here so many times, it was thrifted for less than $50 at a consignment store. How do you beat that? Hurray to sustainable fashion. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Monochrome Style: Brown and Nude Knits

 

       One of my goals this year when it comes to fashion is to wear more colors. I realized that monochrome styling is what comes to me naturally whenever I'm putting outfits together and I want to get out of my comfort zone from now onwards. Also, I want to find more joy in blogging again. For the past two years, I have been using this blog as a sort of fashion Journal or Diary only to document my outfits. 

 I set the blog on private because I just could not get myself to deactivate or delete the blog. (Probably, I just like writing for myself) Now, I am thinking I need to set it back to public viewing at least for my upcoming ten years blogging Anniversary. I'll think seriously of what to do with the blog afterwards.

Happy Mother's Day + My Eshakti knit Dress

 

      Knit dresses are my favorite kind of dresses at this time of the year and I love it when they are very dressy like this piece from Eshakti. I wanted to wear a floral dress for Mother's Day but changed my mind last minute and went for this dark navy blue midi knit dress instead. I like that it is structured and yet comfortable because the fabric is very soft and plush. Then, I love that it has pockets! Dresses with pockets is always a win, win in my book 😀

A knit dress is an essential piece this season

How is everyone doing? I know we all can't wait for this year to get done because there is so much faith in us that the new year is going to usher in great things. I am very excited for Christmas which is just two days away and I am also excited about this knit dress which I got from Lulus. It is one of the best purchases I ever made. The wine color midi dress with bubble sleeves is very appropriate for this season because of the Christmassy color. I also like that it is very modest and chic at the same time. I decided to style it with same color of accessories to create a monochromatic look. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Camouflage Jacket + Knit Dress

                       

         Ꮴeteran's Day 2020 has an added layer of appreciation and thankfulness for all those who have served and are serving this country every day. These days, a branch of our military namely "National Guards" are helping  out in the fight against Covid-19 by building field hospitals and helping with distribution of essentials. A very big "Thank-You" to all our veterans and a big "Thank-You" to all our essential workers. 

In this post, I'm wearing a knit dress from Target  which is actually a free flowing maxi knit dress but I used a belt to cinch my upper midriff and tucked the dress over it to create an illusion of a cropped top and a bottom. I paired the knit dress with a camouflage jacket which is a nod to the current "Shaket" (Shirt-Jacket) trend. My brown combat boots and pouch bag completed the look. What do you think of camouflage jackets or camouflage pieces in general? Besides, we just had our second snowfall of the season a few days ago; a snow storm so early in the season. Thanks so much for reading.

Knit maxi dress for lounge wear

 

     ㄥounge wear outfits have been in for a while now since we are all stuck at home during this pandemic. While the hype has been all about lounge pant and short sets, I have been loving knit dresses and have been wearing a lot of dresses. I would reserve the knit pants and pants in general for the cold season which is almost here. This green knit dress is an old purchase from Gap and it's very comfortable and feels great on the skin. This white pouch bag is a recent addition to my pouch bags. I love that it is stylish and edgy and the color is great for a subtle pop of color. Bottega Veneta did great by bringing back this dumpling, pouch bag trend along with the square toed shoe trend.  Many retailers have made more affordable inspired pieces based off of Bottegas. You can check out my previous post here if you need to shop for similar bags. Thanks so much for stopping by.
