All white Outfit for labor day and beyond.

     Ꭿn all white outfit is a winner any day and any season and since the "no wearing of white after labor day rule" has been thrown out the door a long time ago, my choice of outfit for labor day this year and beyond is an all-white outfit. I have had this Boohoo Dress for a while now and I love how easy it is to wear and also love the puffy sleeves. I styled the dress with white pumps and a straw clutch and a pair of earrings from Jcrew. I love that this outfit is simple and yet a bit sophisticated enough to wear to any socially distant event like a birthday party. I wouldn't wear this white dress to a wedding unless I'm wearing it in a different color because you never want to compete with the bride in white. I love that Boohoo dresses are affordable and come in a variety of colors. However, I think they need to step up the quality of their pieces because it's not that great. If you are looking for something quick and easy to wear that is also affordable and trendy, then you can check out site. Thanks so much for reading.

Bottega Veneta Quilted Square-toed Sandals Dupes

          𐍄he Bottega veneta  square toed sandals made a huge impression on me the first time I set my eyes on them and to say that I like this square-toed quilted high heeled sandals, is an understatement because I really love them. When I realized that the steep prices of the original Bottega Veneta Shoes was not practicable, I resorted to searching on-line for any inspired design/dupes which were selling out every where at the high street stores. I finally traced them down to a few reputable on-line stores like Lulus  and Ego Shoes, an on-line shoe store in the UK. I know that this trend might not be here for a long time as all trendy pieces go out of style before we know it but if you want to try out the trend including other inspired square-toed sandals without splurging, check out the multiple colors and selections in the links below.

Doing Summer in my Green Dress

 

     ዙow is everyone doing? I hope we are all strong, healthy and still keeping up with our Covid sanitation. I just wanted to pop in here real quick to show this green dress I wore the other day; actually an old piece from my closet. The way I transform old pieces in my closet is by adding fresh accessories which I did with this beautiful straw bag I thrifted years ago and my tan color pointed toe mules and bright yellow earrings. I wore this dress to lounge around in the house with a pair of short shorts underneath because it is a very mini dress 😁 If we were going out, I would wear this dress to a backyard BBQ or to go on a lunch date with my friends or family. What do you think of the color green? Is this a color you would wear? Thanks so much for stopping by here.

Pink puffy sleeve dress: My favorite Summer trend

 

     Τhis pink puffy sleeve dress was on my wish list for Mother's day this year and I'm really glad I was able to get it considering the fact that it was in huge demand at all HM locations and quickly sold out. The puffy sleeve which is my favorite summer trend by the way and the pink bold color and free flowing style of this dress just makes it the perfect lounging piece to wear and just lounge at home over the weekend. I styled the dress with my dark pink beaded earrings from Jcrew and multi color sandals from DSW. The straw bag which I have had for a while completed the look. I look forward to styling this piece again in the fall. Thanks so much for visiting.

National thrift shop day: Four reasons why I thrift

 

         𐍂eal fashion or style cannot fully be achieved without a mix of high and low pieces and this is the main reason, the very reason why every one should consider thrifting or consignment shopping followed by sustaining and protecting the earth. Even high end designers and stylists do thrifting or flea market shopping or vintage shopping or consignment shopping. Whatever you decide to call it, or how you decide to do it does not matter; it is just important that you consider it. These days, you do not have to go to a physical store like Goodwill to thrift as there are so many thrift stores online like Thred - Up, Porshmark or the The Real Real. Today is "National thrifting day" and I would love to share with you the four reasons why I thrift.

How to style Pink Monochrome Look in the Summer

       𐐙ink is a color that looks good on most people when the right color pieces are worn. In order to look stylish and classy in pink, it's best to style outfits in monochrome pink shades; (that means styling pieces in different shades or tones of pink) wearing outfits in great textures and outfits with great fit. The collage above shows how to style a monochrome pink look for the summer. This look can be worn to just about any where by swapping out the pieces you don't need for the ones you want. For example, if you want to style this look as a work outfit, you can swap the off shoulder puffy sleeve blouse for a light pink blazer and you can also swap out the pink embellished mules for nude pumps and smaller or understated earrings for this bold pink pair. Happy viewing, happy styling.

The new must-have Accessory

       ϻasks are the number one accessory we just can't leave home without these days because their importance in limiting the spread of the Covid-19 virus cannot be overemphasized according to the CDC. Lately, I found use for my old scarfs by converting them into face masks like I did in these pictures. There has been so many videos made on how to convert a scarf or piece of cotton fabric into face mask without sewing and if you have not yet seen any of the videos, just do a Google or YouTube search. In this outfit, I'm wearing a chambray (light denim) dress shirt over a pair of denim shorts and a pair of slides which has somewhat become a summer uniform for me. Whenever I'm not in a cotton top and denim, I'm usually in a cotton or linen dress. For me, comfort is key this summer and since we are not going anywhere anyways, I put comfort over style. I completed the look with the hobo straw bag and I love the simple, natural look it gives to the whole outfit. This outfit can be worn to the grocery store on a hot summer day and is even great for just lounging around in the house or sitting on the porch. I hope you have found multiple use for your scarfs also this summer. Stay safe and sanitized and thanks so much for reading.

Summer Style Inspiration: Neon + Tie-Dye

        𐌽ow that we are finally out of quarantine and ready to go out into the world (with social distancing and good hygiene of course) we might need some inspiration to get our fashion game going again considering the fact that we have been lounging at home for weeks in sweats and comfy pants. This neon tank top   similar here paired with tie-dye shorts and another style similar here makes a great outfit to wear to the park on a hot summer day. For a little warmth, complete the look with a white linen blazer and accessorize with neutral color straw bag and colorful slides. Happy styling and stay safe and sanitized.
