Summer Essentials: Straw bucket Bag

         Bucket bags are making a resurgence in the form of straw bags this season as I have been seeing online. We all know that straw bags or raffia bags have been summer staples for years and the vibes or elevation that they bring to summer outfits cannot be underestimated. I styled a straw bucket bag with my outfit in this post here. In my opinion, this season's straw bucket bag trend is going to check all the marks and a lot more for that trendy Fashionista. Happy viewing, happy shopping.

Yellow sweater Dress + white Boots

 

       I sought out a yellow color sweater dress for a long time and was so glad when I finally found this. Styling it was super easy, yellow and white go perfectly together and this pair of boots have been in heavy rotation lately. My embellished headband completed this look. I wore this dress on Easter Sunday and I look forward to styling it again in the Fall. Thanks so much for reading.

Green cable knit sweater Dress + White Boots

 

     

         Cable knit sweaters are some of my favorite pieces for cold weather season and it's even better when they are sweater dresses. I fell in love with this mint green baloon sleeve sweater dress when I saw it first time online. The color and style is super gorgeous and the cable knit design and texture is very unique.

Wine color sweater + leather Skirt

      These pictures are old pictures I took some time ago when the pandemic was raging hence the mask accessory.  A quick look at my outfit here; I am wearing a burgundy monochrome outfit; wine color sweater, burgundy color pencil skirt and boots. Our spring in Minnesota is cold though not as cold as our winter season and sweaters and boots are still part of my wardrobe pretty much at this time. The boots are from Sole Society. and the bag is my own vintage; an old piece from my closet. Haha! 😀 Thanks for stopping by.

Grey knit dress + white boots for Spring

 

      Grey dresses do not get enough love as they should for whatever reason. I love grey dresses or outfits though and I do not know why but I think it might be because of the long cold winter in my city. There is no way I can go through the whole of winter without wearing the color grey; it may be a grey pantsuit, a sweater dress or linen dress or just sweater and pants. This post is on the recent addition to my grey wardrobe; this gray, chambray, fit and flare dress that I wore to Church a while back. The weather was really cold, so I had to wear some tights and I decided to wear black tights underneath for a deep contrast in color.

This knit dress was purchased from JCPenney and it's similar to another knit dress I wore here in my previous post. I love the style of it, the waist ties to cinch the waist and the soft comfy fabric. I paired the dress with white accessories, keeping everything simple. Another way to style this dress would be the way I did in this previous post here with a similar knit dress.  Of course, snake print boots would be another styling option especially in the fall. Thanks so much for reading.

Green Puffer Coat + Black Denim

           ϸuffer coats made a big resurgence last fall in more dramatic styles and bold colors. I have had this green piece for years now and though it is not big or dramatic in size, it is bold in color. It's a thrifted piece I got years ago and yes, if you have read this blog long enough, you would know by now that a good part of my outerwear which includes blazers and coats and jackets were purchased pre-loved.

 Due to the harsh/cold seasons in my state, there is always good inventory of outerwear at our consignment and thrift stores. I threw the jacket over a plain white tee and black denim and completed the look with my worn combat boots and a lucite bag or clear bag. The clear bag is from Shein. Thank you so much for reading.

All white Outfit + Trench Coat

         𐌹n today's post, I'm wearing a Fall outfit that I repurposed for spring; Now that the weather has warmed up greatly, all my favorite trench and duster coats are in heavy rotation. A pair of snake print boots completed this all-white look along with this cow print bag that was gifted to me by my sister-in-law. You can find similar bags on Etsy.  I'll chat with you in my next post and thanks so much for reading.

Pink Trench coat on repeat + Red Shoes

        Ԋow is everyone doing? I hope okay. I'm going to make this post as short as possible. I'm wearing a fitted white long sleeve tee over denim which has become a sort of uniform for me these days. A fitted long sleeve tee is one of the most comfy and chic pieces to elevate a casual outfit in my opinion especially in the spring and fall seasons when the temperatures are low. 

I completed the look with my white pouch bag from Amazon and a pair of red color shoes that looks somewhat like brogues.  Although our weather is warming up, it still requires a light jacket or trench coat. Thank you so much for stopping by here.

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.
