Vintage trench coat + denim

 


         Ͳhe weather in Minneapolis is warming up and calls now for light dusters and trench coats. This outfit is what I wore a few days ago. The trench coat is a vintage piece I got from a consignment shop in my neighborhood years ago. I love the somewhat puffy sleeves which is a nod to the puffy sleeves trend this season. The khaki or green color makes it a statement trench coat suited for many seasons.


 I threw it over a white fitted long sleeve tee and light blue denim and accessorized with a multi color bag and this off white color ankle boots that is an old purchase from Asos.  I love the unusual heels on the boots; it looks like a wine cork. How is the spring season going where you are? There is so much going on in the world right now and I really appreciate you for taking the time to stop by here. Thanks so much for reading.



  


Bible Verse of the Day

Matthew 11: 28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Shoe Lovin' - Clear floral glitter Pumps









           Ͳhe best piece of accessory or fashion item is the one that is so versatile that it can be styled with any look in our closet and is stylish and affordable at the same time. This pearlized glitter pumps from DSW strikes off every item on the versatile accessory list because it's very stylish and chic design makes for a great pairing with any outfit, casual or dressed up. It would go perfectly with most summer outfits because of the neutral colors, lucite accent and floral design. The glitter accent on the pump also makes it a great holiday shoe. This is definitely a winner in my book. Check it out  Here

Pink trench Coat + brown combat boots




        My pink trench coat adds a pop of color to my all-red outfit thereby creating a sort of color block; deep saturated colors are trending, and Spring is here so, it's time to get out the colors. This post though is mainly about my combat boots. This brown Guess combat boots was thrifted a few years ago when I wanted to test out the combat boots trend; previously styled here. 


I liked the look and comfort of the boots so much that I went ahead and purchased a new pair from DSW blogged about here also styled in my previous post.here. Combat boot is a trend that will be around for a while and even if it is no longer a trend, it's the right kind of boots to have in a winter boots collection. Thanks so much for reading.

All Red Outfit: Red Wool Coat





       Red is the color for the month of February, symbolizing "Heart health month" and also one of  the celebratory colors of love for those who celebrate Valentine and of course, February is also Black History Month. Red is low key one of my favorite colors and my favorite way of styling it is by going the way of monochrome. 


I wore this outfit to Church last Sunday; a red knit dress, red wool coat and reddish brown leather boots to add texture to the outfit. I purchased the red wool coat from Metrostyle years ago and I currently love this olive color lapel coat here. The red sweater bag is an old thrifted piece. You can find similar knit or sweater bags on Etsy.

Spring Wish List

 


        My spring wish list has a somewhat green color scheme this season and that is because I have been drawn to the color green lately and also puffy sleeves which is a big trend this year by the way. The most expensive item on my list is this beautiful Bottega Veneta lido sandals but I'm not going to drop $1,500 on a trendy sandal. Thankfully, brands like Vince Camuto have the faux leather options at very affordable price points.

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.
