Work Style: The simple outfit to wear on a hot summer day

 

 

 

 

 

Have you thought of an easy breezy outfit to wear to work on a hot summer day or on a casual Friday? An effortlessly chic outfit you can just put together without much thought? It is easy to do when you are dressing up for a casual event; white tee, a well tailored blazer and a great pair of denim and you are good to go. For a more formal work environment where you'll like to be edgy and chic; how about a white sleeveless structured top with a bit of peplum like the one I am wearing here? Pair it with a pastel color pair of pants and a pair of nude sandals and you are good to go. In this post here, I'm wearing a pair of high waisted-paper bag pants and I completed the look with a pair of nude sandals and a woven bag which I accented with a colorful silk scarf to add some color and interest  to the outfit. And I hope you know woven bags are different from straw bags? I love them both. They are great  summer bags that can be paired with both casual and dressy outfit.

How to style: Statement Sandals

 Happy Wednesday  😆 So, summer is almost here and what better time to get out the sandals and the tee shirts than now. These sets are styled around the statement sandals blogged about here. The sandals is so beautiful and chic and the basic way to style it to  make it stand out, would be pairing it with understated pieces. However, with these sets here, the risk taking fashionista can pair the sandals with other statement pieces like the skirts, tees and bags featured in these three sets and would not look overwhelmed. This is exactly what style is. It is being able to put pieces together in an unusual way to create a pleasing aesthetic. What do you think of the styling?

The "Polka dots" trend of the Season

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing great. Have you organized your wardrobe for summer yet? If you have, I hope you have some polka dots prints on there because "Polka-dottie" is the number one prints trend for the season. And it is not just any polka dots, it is the black dots on white background kind of dots. It is very chic and trendy and you would see it around a lot this summer. However, any color polka dots is still a trend this season and I really like this yellow polka dots balloon sleeves blouse here. Another twist on the trend is the ruffles like this polka dot ruffle dress here. And if you are not into polka dots pieces, you can get polka dots accessories like this polka dots Christian

How to style Monochrome; Lilac + Purple

Happy Monday everyone; I hope your weekend was great. Mine was awesome. I spent a lot of time with family and we went to the mall, went out to eat, went to a birthday party and most importantly, went to church. This is the outfit I wore to church yesterday; lilac and purple outfit. Lilac or lavender as some would call it is a color that is trending this season as we know and the easiest way to style it is to pair it with white, cream  or other pastels. For this look I decided to do monochrome styling by pairing my lilac lace top with lilac color pants. I chose to complete the look with a deep purple color blazer, light purple pumps and a straw bag. You can tell by now that I love the straw bag trend. They add a very organic feel to any outfit. So, what is the key to styling a monochrome look? Mix textures.

So, have you been seeing green? Have you noticed the new trend in dresses? Is the green dress the new dress trend? Well, yours sincerely here, Moi...😂 takes a look at the Fashion trends and the fashion scene to report them here on the blog especially if they are affordable. I do not have any business with high fashion and extremely expensive lines and labels; No Ma! We are no slave to fashion here. We can absolutely look good on a dime! woot! woot!! 😂 😂 That was a digression. So, like I said; I have been seeing lovely green dresses everywhere I look and I thought I should share a few of my favorites on here.

Shoe Loving' - Fringe heel Velvet Sandals

Okay, summer is almost here and it is time to get out the sandals and slides and definitely time for another "Shoe Lovin" post on the blog. Today's shoe "Love" is this velvet fringe sandals by MR BY MAN REPELLER from NET-A-PORTER. It comes in two colors; red and yellow but the red is my favorite. The fringed heel makes this the statement shoe that should be reserved exclusively for parties. This is not the kind of sandals to wear to a park for a picnic or to a garden party because the

Keeping it simple and bright: Pink pant suit + white Pumps

Hi Friends, we are going to keep this post short and simple because we are still talking about Pastels and it needs no more introduction plus the outfit itself is simple. I must say pink is my favorite pastel and it is no wonder that I have had this pink blazer for years. It is actually a thrifted piece and cost me less than $10 at the time I got it. I paired the pink blazer with  pink denim pants similar to this pair from Jcrew here. I get really excited when I am able to put together a complete outfit by playing mix-and-match in my closet and I have lots of pantsuits that I have paired together like that. Sometimes, the two colors are a little off and not a perfect match but it is still okay. Monochrome styling does not always have to be perfect. I completed the look with white pumps and a straw bag just because white pumps are the new neutrals and straw bags are just here to stay.

Pastel's Work Style: Light blue Pants + Metallic Accents

Hi Beauties, I hope the week is going great. For those in the United States, it's a short work week because of the Memorial Day holiday on Monday and that is a good thing. Today's post is about how to style pastels for work and when I say pastels, I mean those light yummy colors like creams, yellow, light and baby blues, mint, lilacs, pink, tan...you know what I mean. Pastels are a big deal this season and I call them "happy colors." I think the key to making pastels work in a corporate work environment is to break up the pastels; that is, pick only one pastel color in a top or bottom and pair it with a slightly darker shade like I did with this grey plaid blazer. "Pastel- look" from head to toe is a little too festive for a corporate work setting. I completed the look by adding metallic accessories with my metallic tote and metallic cap-toe white pumps. The white tee just made the light blue pants pop but not too much which makes it still work appropriate. What are your thoughts on the pastel's trend? Thanks so much for stopping by here.

Tropical prints Pant + lace hem top

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday. Now, don't you just love Fashion when it keeps recycling and giving back? The 80's are here ladies! "woot!-woot!!" 😆 Remember, a time when Hawaiian prints or tropical prints shirts were trending for guys? I do not really remember myself but for the sake of fashion I am going to pretend that I do...hehehe.We'll talk about our ages and the eighties in detail later in a different post 😛 So, like I said, Hawaiian and tropical prints are trending again and we are going to see the prints a lot this summer. This tropical prints pants I am wearing here is a couple of years old; it was just a random purchase I made years ago because I really liked the color of the prints. These pictures are some of my archived pictures that never made it to the blog until now.

Happy Memorial day + My "Go to Summer Outfit."

Happy Memorial Day everyone. I say a very big Thank-You to all the Men and Women who have served in the armed Forces and are still serving. and to all those who dedicate their lives to fight for Freedom, I say Thank-you. This is a quick post here to celebrate Memorial day and the unofficial start of summer. My outfit which consists of a pair of blue denim, off-the-shoulder top and sandals is my official "go-to-outfit" for the Summer. Whenever, I need to go somewhere that does not require dressing up, I always make sure my stack of denim and tops and graphic tees are within reach. Do you have your Summer wardrobe ready to go? Do not forget the hat and the sunglasses (My Sunglasses not pictured). Have a blessed week and talk to you again soon in my next Post.
