F21 Vest and denim
Thank God the weekend is almost here and It will be fun to kick off the work shoes and snuggle on the couch while watching huge flakes of snow dropping from the sky through the window. Yeah, there is forecast of another snow storm over the weekend through Monday morning. And there was actually a wintry mix today too; rain and snow. The temperature is in the upper thirties though and definitely warmer so, it'll help to melt that snow in no time. The weather has been so gloomy and coupled with my weak camera which I keep making excuses for; the pictures didn't come out so great as usual...:)
Well, I finally got to wear my faux fur vest I just ordered from Forever 21 and talked about in this post here. I paired it with a white long sleeve tee by Victoriassecret and denim trousers from Loft. I really do love trousers or wide leg pants and prefer them to skinny pants. However, I realize that this vest might look better over a skinny pant because it is very bulky and would reduce the risk of looking like one gained 10 pounds over night. So, point noted. I'll definitely be wearing them over skinny pants next time.

Fashion Faux-Pas
Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great week. Mine has been pretty busy and I took these pictures after a hectic work day. This is the main reason I'm looking cross-eyed in most of them...:) I leave for work pretty early in the morning and I'm always in haste so, I'm not able to take pictures stepping out and at the end of the day, I'm pretty worn out. However, I have to keep updating my blog; afterall, it's my fashion and life journal. So, like I always say, all pictures go up on the blog no matter what...:)
My main philosophy or rule about my dressing is based off of my bible which says that I should always dress modestly as a woman. And that is the rule I try to follow primarily. Everyother rule about not wearing patterns with patterns or not wearing what with what are just secondary. This is not to say that I do not agree with conventional rules but I do break them now and then to suit my own style or function.
So, I decided to name this post "Fashion Faux-Pas" because something about the outfit is not compliant with conventional fashion standard. Can you guess what it is? I mean apart from the fact that it does look like a school girl's uniform..:)
Can you guess what it is? Do you think it is having the belt on the sweater or not wearing socks or having a tweed jacket on denim?
Also, the weather is starting to warm up over here in MN and the layers are starting to come off gradually. It felt comfortable enough to bare some skin so I decided to wear my custom made denim skirt which I love so much. I think I'm going to make anorther trip to the fabric store soon cos I have all these sketches I made recently that I would love to bring to life.
Did you take a guess yet? It's pretty obvious right...right?
Okay!!! here it goes!!!....:) "Cinching a hooded sweater at the waist with a belt and wearing it over a skirt!!" A fashion faux pas...don't you think? Anyways...I just wanted to say hi and to share my outfit of the day. I think I have a colorful closet now as compared to when I first started documenting my fasion and only had dark and greys. My next makeover now is to work on myself as a person; my inner man. I want to continue to build up my faith and spirituality. "Let's make the world a better place!" Woot...Woot..

Do not be deceived...
Yeah, do not be deceived because a lot of times looks can be deceiving. Some things might look pretty on the outside while the insides are gross, some people look all cute and great on the outside but on the inside they are not that great and their personality is zero. sometimes you might look in your closet and think you've got nothing to wear until you make a mess and reach into nooks and crannies that you have not looked into before and then you find all the lost treasures...
Okay, enough of the soliloquy. Some of the items in these outfits; my jacket and shoes are discovered treasures. I have had them a long time and the mustard jacket is actually my first ever thrifted jacket. I was reorganizing my closet a few weeks ago and suddenly stumbled upon them and remembered that I had not worn them in a while. So the weather forecast was in the forties today and I was like; "yeah, I can pair my mustard jacket with my black ankle pants in order to high light this my mustard suede heels."
The outfit turned out well and everything but it was freeeezzzing! The temperature is in the upper thirties but definitely still too cold for ankle pants. It was very windy too and the wind certainly brought down the chill. So, you see...looks can certainly be deceiving...:) Now I know it's still too early to wear some certain items and I'm just going to keep on enjoying my winter gear until it's really time to beak out the summer items.
I hope everyone is having a great Sunday and I hope you took time out to [spend] time with God and family. It's good to be all glammed up and stuff but we also have to work on our insides; the inner man. Let's make the world a better place and let's continually give God the praise.
Thanks so much for reading. I enjoy reading your thoughts and comments and it's great finding other amazing bloggers. So, leave me a trail by leaving a comment and I'll pay you a visit. **Kisses!**

Where is the emerald? I only see beautiful sunset.
I hope everyone had a beautiful week and now that the weekend is already here, it's hurray!!! I want to say a big thank you to all who stopped by to say hi on my blog anniversary. I'm so excited that I finally got around to writing again and this blog is the medium on which I have been pouring out my thoughts. Although the pictures have not been great, I hope they get better...:) I'm still using my old canon camera and I'm actually taking my time purchasing a better one because I know the better the camera, the more complex the functions and I'm not so computer savvy. Plus I'm super busy at this time and do not have much time to spare to read manuals...
So, I lifted my shopping ban not too long ago and have gone on this endless amazing shopping sprees. This emerald top and skinny jeans are recent purchases from one of those neighbor hood boutiques I visited recently. Come to think of it, a couple of new businesses just moved into the neighborhood.
Now back to my outfit. This lovely emerald top with sequins at the bust stole my heart away and I just could not resist it. I wore this outfit to the clinic for my baby's two years doctor's visit and since I took all three kids, we ended the day at Chuck E. Cheeses. The kids had so much fun and while I watched them running around playing games, I stuffed my face with chicken wings and fries. I probably gained a few pounds by the time I left the place and now I'm so scared of the approaching summer. There are always frequent trips to such places in the summer time.
Pantone declared that the color of the season is emerald but has anyone really been seeing much of this color in the stores at all? It seems not to be prominent. This is the thought that was going through my mind as I enjoyed the beautiful sunset while taking my pictures.

Unlayerng...
The weather seems to be going the way majority want it to go these days but not forgetting the snow storm we had a couple of days ago. The temperature is steadily climbing and this means the layers of clothing are going to start coming off and color is going to start sipping into most closets. I really love this simple sweater and denim skirt combination and it gets me really excited for Spring.
