How to style: Multi color Sweater (Part One)

                                                                               

      

     I have a newfound love for colorful sweaters and cardigans, and it's been fun styling them virtually and in person. Colorful sweaters are very versatile when it comes to styling; just pick a color from the graphic print on the sweater for the bottom piece which can be a pair of shorts, pants, dress or skirt depending on the occasion and you are good to go. check back for the restyling of this cute cardigan and check a previous styling of a similar sweater here.

Shoe Lovin' - Metallic Boots

   

     

       The holiday season is officially here, and we can say that sparkle season has already began. Metallic, sequin or embellished shoes is part of holiday outfit usually and it is even more so this season. However, the focus has shifted slightly from metallic or sparkly pumps to sparkly boots and booties. And the style can vary from dress boots to western boots to even chelsea boots. Whatever sparkly shoe wear you choose to wear this season, just have fun with it. Thanks so much for reading.

The number one skirt i am wearing right now

   

        Texture, texture, texture...that is what fall fashion is all about; talk about knits and leather, cashmere and faux fur and then denim. However, when we talk about denim this season, we are not talking about the pants. Denim this season is all about the denim skirt and I am not mad about it! 😂

How to style leather for Fall

 

        One of the biggest fashion trend this fall is leather. Of course, leather makes a comeback every fall but this season, it makes a very big impact in fall fashion as we can already see in the retail stores. Leather dresses, skirts and tops in different colors is the deal right now. This post is a throwback of some of the ways I have styled leather on the blog. Happy reading, happy styling.

Puffy sleeve smocked lavender Dress + heels

 

        Puffy sleeves or bubble sleeves dress is here to stay; this trend is going to be around for a long time even past this season's fall and winter. I purchased this lavender maxi dress from Lulus two summers ago and wore it on multiple occasions this past summer. In my opinion, it is the perfect dress to celebrate the end of summer and to welcome the new season. I did my favorite monochrome styling all the way with lavender pieces and completed the look with my old thrifted purple bag. Thank you so much for reading and I wish you all of God's blessings in the new month.

Neon Pantsuit + green heels

          Pantsuits have always been my favorite style of clothing because they are easy to style and equally very versatile. You can wear a pantsuit to just about any event these days and the pieces in the set can be restyled with other items in our closet. I purchased this green set from JCPenney about three years ago and was just waiting for the right time or season to wear it and now green and neon is trending. 

I styled my pantsuit with a green floral blouse and green heels. The green straw bag is an old thrifted piece. I look forward to restyling this suit in so many ways in the future. If you need a tip on where to shop for affordable suits and tailoring pieces, check out Asos and JCPenney. Thanks for reading.

Fall Fashion Inspiration: Bold color Hues

        Fall is finally here, and I am so excited to get a break from the summer heat and get into fall fashion. This post is a "pre-fall" or transitional outfit inspiration. It is not cold enough to put on boots so this is an outfit that can be styled with sandals or mules.

One of the trend this fall is "deep saturated colors" and "color blocking." This multi color sweater paired with blue cobalt blue skirt can be worn to any event with a switch up of the accessories. For work, you can switch up the open sandals for a pair of pumps or even a pair of boots if you so choose. Happy viewing, happy styling 😀
