Mouring Summer

Saturday, September 07, 2013

For some unknown reason it's been raining like all week and too much rain can sometimes get a little depressing. So, I'm putting together an outfit that you can throw on a day with a slight breeze in the air.

I've also been wanting to buy a new coat and I thought that this one was amazing, I love how it wraps right around the waist. I decided to make the outfit an all black outfit (not talking about the New Zealand rugby team, which I love by the way!) because everything looks more elegant in black.

Everything is black except for the scarf, wether you leave the coat open or closed you'll have some color that will definitely stand out from the outfit.

The time is coming when you need to take out the jackets and sweaters from the closet. So, for todays closet find we have this faux leather jacket.

I love the quilted print on it and the fact that it has a rounded collar. It's simple yet eye catching. It would definitely be a must in my closet.

This would bring together any outfit, not only that but it will always keep you warm and there is nothing bad about that!

Grungy

I've been gone for almost a week now! So sorry! I had a couple of problems with the internet company that have now been fixed so, I am back!

I'm back and it would seem that we've also gone back in time with this outfit. Today we are going for something a bit more grunge, a bit more styled but still with that grunge essence.

We're adding some black skinny jeans to add a block of color to this outfit and to make the legs look slimmer. After we're adding an iconic red plaid shirt. You can't go wrong with this combination of colors, especially since the black jeans will make the red plaid really stand out.

Since fall is just around the corner we are adding some ankle boots. Also, if you haven't noticed...I'm obsessed with them. Finally finishing the outfit off with a simple black beanie in case the day is a bit cold, it's a perfect and simple way to keep warm and add a little something extra to the outfit.

Beanie Babe

Friday, August 30, 2013

Today I felt like a dress would be great for a Friday, but not something that is too fancy, something that is causal but still looks great. So, I found this black slip on dress that's just what I was looking for. I added a denim vest to bring the outfit together because it needed a little something extra and this helps bring out more casualness to the look.

I decided to add this chunky red necklace to bring a bit more color to the outfit since we have a lot of black going on, plus the cut on the dress allows us to bring this accessory to the outfit. Adding some platforms add more height which is useful so your legs look longer and are not cut off by the length of the dress. Last, a beanie.

So here is a look at what I decided to wear today. Since there has been a lack of me showing what I'm wearing, I thought that maybe today was a perfect day to do it.

I need a better camera by the way, and lighting. Sorry for the mess at home!

I'm not big on purses, if you're not big on purses like me you might like clutches a bit more. I really liked this ASOS clutch, love the bright red color. Not only is the color amazing but you can even carry it around in a more easy way.

Brighten up an outfit with this clutch. You simply can't go wrong with it and you'll definitely love it!

When it comes to floral prints or any prints at all I'm really picky. Sometimes

I feel that the print is just too much, bit the other times it's just perfect. Prints are

an easy way to bring color into an outfit without having to layer or add anything

else.

To bring the print out on the blouse we're going to add some black leather pants.

They are just going to help bring out all the color that's on that blouse.

To add just a bit more color and some shine to the outfit we're adding some turquoise pointed flats, they're fashionable and comfortable,

you can't go wrong with that. And to bring the outfit all together

we'll add a black necklace.

I'm always big on vintage style articles of clothing, so I found this and just had to post it as todays Closet Find. The mustard yellow color is something that brings and outfit to life. The collar on this is just amazing! It's probably the first thing you'll check out on this sweater.
