Colored Denim – #50ShadesOfGrey

October 29, 2016

It’s Saturday night and what’s a girl to wear when it is freezing outside, but jeans? I have been trying to change up my jean wardrobe from the standard denim or black jeans. I have experimented with colored jeans, but when I saw these grey jeans from 7 for all mankind I absolutely fell in love. Now being as short as I am there is always the dreaded time of finding skinny jeans that are cut just right to the point where you don’t have to go to the tailor to get them hemmed. These jeans from 7 for all mankind are the skinny ankle cut and they are a high rise waist and because of them being ankle skinny I don’t need to get them shortened! It is amazing! Sadly, the high rise ankle skinny this season only came in this color because if it came in other colors I personally would have purchased them all. I love the grey of these jeans because they aren’t too dark that they look like a pair of black jeans that just lost its color and they aren’t too light that you feel as if you are wearing them during the wrong time of the year. When you are looking for a great pair of grey denim take a look at the care label. I personally always wash my jeans inside out and then I let them air dry until they are almost completely dry then I put them in the dryer on a low heat for 20 minutes max. This way they aren’t super stiff when you try to put them on. I know some people may think “am I really going to wear grey jeans enough to invest in an expensive pair?” My answer is yes! I honestly didn’t think I would at first, but now they are my go to going out pair. I can pretty much wear them with anything. I have worn them to casual events and even to fancy dinners as well. A great pair of colored jeans styled correctly can go from day to night. Just like how I have it styled here with suede booties and an off the shoulder t-shirt. This is an outfit that I could go out with my friends in and also could even wear to work on a casual Friday. The opportunities are endless. Go out now and buy a pair of grey denim-before you know it all of the sizes will be gone 🙂

The Perfect Leather Skirt

October 24, 2016

Happy Monday! Now what is a Fall wardrobe without including a great black leather skirt. This black leather skirt is from Alice and Olivia and I am obsessed with it! I bought this skirt 3 years ago during summer right before I moved to New York. My mother always says with certain staple items in your wardrobe they are your investment pieces. She says this because these are the pieces that never go out of style and you will wear from season to season to season. When it comes to looking for a great leather skirt find one that is a solid color, but also one that isn’t necessarily a straight cut. This skirt has pleats in it and also it cinches at the waist. Unlike other leather skirts that I have tried on in the past this skirt gives me more of an hourglass shape, but also with the pleats it makes the skirt look fuller than it actually is. Someone one time even asked me when I wore it out if I had something under the skirt to make it look fuller than it actually was. If you are unsure if you would wear a leather skirt every winter then this season buy a faux leather one and test it out. See how often you wear it during the season and if you find yourself wearing more than 5 times before spring then you should purchase the real deal come spring. Like I previously said I purchased this skirt during the summer before I moved to New York because it was on sale. These pieces are honestly the best to buy during the off season because they get heavily reduced, but if you want one right now just remember that Thanksgiving is just around the corner!! Crazy! Hope everyone has a great Monday.

All Red Everything

October 15, 2016

For anyone that knows me, my closet usually consists of black, white and beige. I am not one of those people that likes to wear a lot of color, but I am trying to step out of my comfort zone and wear things that normally I wouldn’t wear. One day while going through Gilt I saw that one of the brands listed was Black Halo and I only knew about them because I had just purchased a dress from them for my best friend’s sister’s wedding in Florida. When you look at this outfit at first glance you think it’s a dress right? Well you would be incorrect because it is a skirt and a crop top, but they are sold together as an outfit! I love the fact that it is two pieces because if I wanted to wear them separately and mix and match them with something else I can. At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about the length of the skirt, but they have this outfit now with a shorter skirt option if you don’t like the length of it. One of the other major things that made me fall in love with this outfit was the fact that the skirt has pockets. I don’t know why, but you can ask any girl if a dress / skirt has pockets it’s a game changer. Black Halo’s outfits even when not on Gilt are fairly priced and are very comfortable and easy to wear for any occasion. As I previously said, I normally don’t wear color, but this shade of red on me, even when I am not tan and am pale, didn’t look bad on my skin tone. Some reds are a lot brighter than this one it’s just the matter of finding the right shade of a color that works best for you. To see some of the other two pieces outfits here is the link to Black Halo’s website. They also have some great dresses and if you keep your eyes peeled they often go on sale at different retailers. They are great pieces that you can wear to all of your upcoming events.
