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.

Tweed Blazer + pleated Skirt

 

       Blue and gray has become a favorite color pairing of mine lately. I wore this tweed blazer and pleated skirt to church recently. I paired the outfit with a blue woven pouch bag and cinched my waist with an embellished belt; black clog sole boots completed the look. It was just the right outfit to brighten up a cloudy day. I hope the new year is going great for you so far. Thanks so much for reading.

Satin skirt + white sweater

       The quote; "Just because it's hard doesn't mean it is impossible" is what I have chosen to adapt from now onwards and I acted on that positive energy and got this braids done all by myself. I have made unsuccessful attempts to braid my hair before and I'm really glad they came out okay this time around. Yay! to more possibilities 😀

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.

Casual Style: Vest + Denim

     Happy new year! It's so surreal that we are already in 2022 but I am excited, and I hope you are too. The farther we get away from the year 2020, the better it is for everyone. We had a very beautiful weather in the month of December and there was a day that the weather was so beautiful, December 2nd actually and it seemed like it was summer! Can you believe it! 

I styled my sweater vest over dark denim pants for a casual look and completed the look with faux fur slides. It was a comfy look just to lounge at home and to think happy thoughts and good wishes. I hope the new year is going great for you so far. Thanks so much for reading! 😀

Happy New Year! 2022

 

       Happy new year my friends! I wish us all a beautiful and prosperous new year, 2022. We all deserve to have the best of everything this year. Although we were not able to have big parties and celebrate like we used to, I still give God thanks for good health and for great family and friends. This was one of my holiday looks; a simple sequin skirt that i have won every holiday season for the last couple of years. and this sequin striped sweater; all oldies from my closet. My platforms heels are a new addition though; a gift to myself from Asos. What do you think of the resurgence of platform shoes this season? Again, happy new year to you and yours. Thank you so much for reading.

Holiday Outfit Inspiration: Mustard color sweater + Sequin Pants

 

      

        A  holiday outfit can be styled without incorporating the traditional holiday colors. As we all know, red and green are traditional Christmas colors in addition to black and silver when it comes to styling sequins and other embellished and beaded outfits. In the recent years however, holiday outfits are now any color you want them to be and sequin pieces can be purchased in almost every color nowadays. I styled this gold sequin wide legged trousers from Lulus with a mustard color sweater to create a non traditional holiday look.

Brown Pantsuit + Square toe Sandals

                                                                           

        I love pantsuits a lot and I think I have them in every color by now. This light brown set is my latest addition and as usual, I decided to style a monochrome look. I wore this outfit to Church a few Sundays ago; the square toe Sandals and faux fur bags added some interest to the monochromatic look. I always say; "texture-mixing" is the key to styling a monochrome look because without the bag and woven sandals, this outfit would be totally boring. This Steve Madden Shearling bag that I previously blogged about here is my "go to" bag this Fall. So far, the weather has been great in my neck of the woods and I hope it is same wherever you are. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Animal Print Dress + Green Sandals

        Animal prints is usually a big trend in the Fall season but not so this season. Somehow, the styling of the prints moved from main clothing pieces like tops and bottoms to accessories like boots and bags and sometimes statement coats. This H&M animal print dress was love at first sight for me because the print is very subtle. I styled it with a pair of green sandals and white pouch bag. I think it is a great idea to have a subtle animal print dress like this in our closets. What do you think? Thanks so much for stopping by.

Summer Style: Lace dress + Straw Bag

 

        My obsession with lace dresses this past Summer was real however these dresses have just been laying low in the closet all these years and not new purchases. Since this past summer was really hot, it was a no brainer to live in these dresses. This piece right here was purchased about three Summers ago from Boohoo.. I styled it with an orange color scarf and a pair of crisscross mules and a straw bag which is always my favorite accessory in the Summer. There is just something about straw bags and accessories that make summer outfits pop. Scarfs have also become my favorite accessory too. Thanks so much for reading.
