Closets&Drawers: new outfit

What's better than Spring on a Friday?

Friday, March 20, 2015

It's finally spring! Living in Chicago makes you really look forward to warmer weather because of what seems to be an endless winter. I can't wait to reorganize my closet and go shopping! Dresses, florals, sandals, etc, etc, etc. Ah! The excitement begins!

For today's OOTD I wanted something simple. Basically something to look great and relaxed to make you feel great on a Friday. I wanted to work with denim today so I played around with both white and blue denim. I wanted more light in the outfit so that's why I wanted to use the white denim jeans. I didn't want it to be too dark. I always have to add something black to my outfits, lol! In this case I added this sleeveless crop top because I wanted something a bit more bold when it was time to take off the denim jacket.

I know it's pretty cliche to use pastels during spring but I felt that with this outfit it would make the color even stand out more. I loved the metallic lavender heels. They add the perfect amount of shine to the outfit and make a great statement piece. Add the sunglasses and you're ready to go. A perfect outfit for the first Friday of Spring!

Let me know you're thoughts on the outfit! I love you hear from you!

Another Comeback

Thursday, October 16, 2014

I have missed you and this baby for so long. Since I've moved back to Chicago everything has been a little bit more hectic. I must say I will take advantage of this time that I have right now and share with you what I love to do.

I decided to go for a casually-chic outfit today. Something that you can throw on any day of the week and feel comfortable and fabulous in. Obviously something to go perfectly with this amazing fall season.

I would say that the statement piece in this outfit would definitely be the cable knit crop sweater. I chose this wine color because I LOVE it! I love wine on everything. I feel like it's a great color for fall and it definitely looks amazing on anyone. Threw on some black leggings and some pointed toe booties. I'm still not over my obsession with ankle boots.

As far as accessories go I wanted to keep that at a minimum, as I always do. A couple of gold rings to add some shimmer and shine to the outfit. Of course a hat! I think hats like this one are great for fall, they keep you a bit warm and make you look great and more interesting and add a little something extra to your outfit.

What are your thoughts on this outfit? Where would you wear this to? I would love to hear from you! See you on the next post!

Pineapple Express

It's the middle of the week and the heat just keeps going higher. With the heat you want to wear something that will definitely keep you cool and make you feel great. There are great ways to look great with a few items.

Today I chose this playsuit. I really liked the pineapple print. I just thought it added a sort of playfulness to the outfit, plus who doesn't love pineapples on clothes, lol! It's fresh and clearly perfect for the warm weather. Some chunky black sandals to add more of a funk to the outfit. Last, I just added some accessories. This light brown clutch with the brass buckle and the green bangle bracelet.

What are your thoughts on this outfit? What do you love to wear when the heat is unbearable? Can't wait to read your comments!

OOTD #10

Thursday, May 15, 2014

It's Thursday and the weather here in Chicago doesn't seem to be getting any better so I will be putting together another chic but comfortable outfit.

I saw these pleated pants and couldn't help but fall in love with them. I love the shape they make and they kinda give off a classy-casual kind of look. Since I was going for the the casual look I threw on this cropped pull over, great neutral tan color to make those pants really stand out and since it's long sleeve it will keep you nice and warm. I'm a fan of pointed shoes so I added these leopard heels that incorporate both colors and look amazing.

To accessorize I wanted to go simple because these neutral colors look beautiful by themselves. Just simple simple bangles, clutch and kitty sunglasses.

Keeping it real

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

Hey there everyone! I have definitely been absent for a while but I was moving from one country to other other and I'm finally back home in Chicago!

Todays post if basically a simple outfit that goes well with todays Chicago cloudy weather. You never know what you're gonna get here, lol!

I'm a big fan of platforms because I'm really short so I added some here, they are so 90's it's ridiculous but I love them. Some acid wash jeans because I want to go for a modern vintage look. I added this awesome crop top. I'm a huge Batman fan and I thought this gray top with the zig-zag cut on the bottom was definitely perfect for this look. In case you get chilly because being in Chicago you never know, throw on a bomber jacket. I didn't add accessories to this look other than the hat because I wan this to be a more casual look. Something way more relaxed that you can wear to have a walk out on the town.

What are your thoughts on this outfit? Sorry for being gone for so long!

OOTD #9

Monday, March 24, 2014

Happy Monday everyone! There is no better way to start the week than with the perfect outfit and attitude, of course. Today I wanted to use a subtle yet amazing statement piece, a bracelet. Great color combination and perfect shine. Not only that but I also wanted to incorporate the pastel color trend that is going to be huge this spring.

This wire knit sweater is perfect for a Monday. A relaxed way to start the week. Adding some white ankle-length pants to add a clean canvas to this outfit. Grey pointed toe pumps to level up the outfit, just so it's not too casual.

This outfit is perfect to start the week, you'll feel fresh and trendy. What are your thoughts on this outfit? What do you prefer to wear on a Monday? Can't wait to read your comments!

OOTD #8 Hello Spring!

Thursday, March 20, 2014

Hello Spring! It's finally spring and I am definitely ready for it. Yes, it will be time to rock all the skirts, dresses, shorts and the list can just go on! I have a love/hate relationship with spring but it's probably more love than hate.

Todays outfit has florals, yes florals. I know it's spring and the first thing that comes to mind is florals but I really don't mind because this midi skirt is to die for! I love the color combination of reds, pinks and whites. The waist is accented in black which helps the color of the flowers stand out that much more. I added a black crop top because I just wanted to emphasize everything on the skirt.

Adding gold accessories will make the outfit that much better, at least that's what I think. I seriously love this outfit. I love all the color in the skirt and the black. What are your thoughts on this outfit? What are your thoughts on spring fashion? Can't wait to read your comments!

OOTD #6

Friday, March 14, 2014

I'm back and in time for spring! When people think of spring the first thing that pops to their heads are florals, florals everywhere! I'm not a big fan of florals, that's why I try to incorporate different trends and colors to make interesting outfits that are sure to stand out.

Todays outfit of the day is pretty simple but I love it. I'm a huge fan of maxi skirts. They're so comfortable and look amazing and can lighten up any outfit. Adding it with a white crop top it makes it the perfect fresh outfit. The platform wedges that I added to this outfit, I actually own a pair and they are fantastic! Super comfortable, fashionable and chic. I love them.

These two will be part of my basics for spring from now on. What are your favorites for spring and what are your thoughts on this outfit?

Sleek and elegant

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

I've been incorporating trends into outfits that I put together. In todays OOTD I have three trends going on. The first one is the black and white. Yes, black and white is going to be huge this spring and summer season so start thinking about your b&w outfits. Also this oversized coat in white with no collar. Collarless coats and jackets will be seen a lot during the upcoming season and this white one is especially amazing. Last the mint green purse. Add a bit of pastels to add some color. I love this outfit because it seems so classic and elegant. It's something so simple that looks amazing. Add simple hair and almost nothing of makeup and you're ready to head out.
