Hat Attitude

Hat: AA // Dress: Target // Vest: Old Navy // Ankle Boots: F21 // 

Coach Bag: thrifted

Happy Monday!  I've never really been a "hat person," but the cold temperatures in Philly lately have made wearing hats a necessity.  Since the cold weather will be here to stay for a while, I've decided to start investing in hats that I actually like to wear. This wide brimmed hat was the first in my "cute winter hat collection." I can guarantee that you'll be seeing me wearing more hats in the new year. 

What are you favorite stores to buy cute, affordable hats? 

Faux Fur and Camo

Necklace: Sonia V. Boutique // Faux Fur Vest: swapped // 

Jeans: Target // Ankle Boots: Target

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and caught some great Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals if shopping is your thing.    

I've always felt that accessories and jewelry really make an outfit pop.  I've seen photos of myself as a kid draped in my mother's scarves, bags and jewelry that prove that this isn't a new concept for me.  

The necklace I'm wearing is from Sonia V Boutique and it has quickly become a weekend favorite.  In my book, fall casual weekend outfits that include necklaces and faux fur are definitely called for sometimes.

Let's make this week a great one!

Cobalt + Black

 

 Dress: F21--old (similar) // Moto Jacket: H&M // Ankle Boots: F21 (old) // Bag: vintage Coach

I don't have much to say about my outfit today, but I will say, that my thoughts are with all of the veterans out there today especially the special veteran in my life, my 94-year-old grandfather.  

Have a wonderful week!

Brick Red

Jacket: H&M // Top: UO // Skirt: H&M (similar dresses 1 ,  2 , 3 // Bag: Marshalls

The holiday season hasn't yet started, but I feel compelled to wear brick red a little early this year.

What color are you feeling lately?

Gray + Black

Jacket: Marshalls (similar) // Top: Marshalls // Jeans: Old Navy (similar) // 

Ankle Boots: Buffalo Exchange // Bag: Marshalls

Why did it take me so long to get gray skinny jeans? They are awesome. 

On another note, I woke up feeling refreshed this morning from the extra hour of sleep (I sure do miss the evening daylight though). Now that I've gotten rest, it's time to conquer my to-do list and start tying up loose ends for this year because I'm sure the November will go by as fast as the rest of the year has. I can't believe it's already time to start thinking about holiday gifts! Have an amazing week.

 

Shorts + Leather

Jacket: Marshalls (similar) // Scarf: Express--old (similar) // Sweater: Marshalls // 

Shorts: UO (old) // Bag: thrifted (similar) // Ankle boots: Target (exactly)

The crisp fall weather we have had in Philly lately has meant the return of a shorts, tights and boots combo on the weekends.  For some, summer signals that it's time to break out the shorts, but for me, that signal arrives in fall...

Let's make this week a great one!

90's Vibe

Jacket: Zara girls section // dress: swapped // vintage Coach bag: thrifted // 
Ankle boots: Target // Sunglasses: Smak Parlour

Despite the fact that I am a child of the 80's and 90's, when it comes to fashion, I don't often get nostalgic for that time period. But I admit that this outfit does have a hint of the 90's to it (dark florals, denim jacket, bucket bag...).  All I need are some "Poetic Justice" waist length box braids to really take this look back to the 90's.  For today, I'll embrace the 90's, though tomorrow's outfit could be channeling an entirely different decade.

Here's to an awesome week!

Fall Style Inspiration

It took a while, but now I'm finally excited about fall; of course a big portion of my excitement comes from fall fashion possibilities.  Here is some "Pinspiration" from my Fall Style Pinterest Board and some items I'd love to add to my fall wardrobe this season.

Hi-Low Blue

Blazer: Loft (old) (similar); Bodysuit: American Apparel; Skirt: thrifted (similar); 
Ankle boots: F21; Necklace/Earrings: gifts: 

When I thrifted this skirt a few weeks ago, I was going to pack it up with my summer items, but I decided to wear it now with tights and boots and later (perhaps with platforms).   I love clothing items that work for different seasons, don't you?
