Today’s objective was to stay warm. Thus, I’m wearing my striped wool sweater, corduroy pants, and scarf. I decided to clothe myself in warm and soft items. Why no socks? I don’t know. My loafers fit better without them.

As a girl I loved pink. I was obsessed with everything pink. Wearing it gave me such pleasure. But people began to whisper about us. They were unable to accept what we had. My obsession grew out of control and I had to end my tawdry affair with the color. It’s been a few years and somehow it has managed to creep back into my life. I never stopped loving it just because I didn’t wear it. Wearing it now makes me feel nostalgic. I am wiser and older hopefully I don’t let it rule my life again. I’ll proceed with caution. But I must confess that wearing pink has never felt so good.

I’m not big on the color green but it seems to be a big factor in this outfit. I like the super long length of these pants. They make me feel lean and make my legs appear endless. Whenever I wear this sweater it makes me think of Christmas and winter. If I’m feeling a little blue it gets me into the holiday spirit in no time. I added this yellow checkered shirt to add color to my look and liven it up a bit.
Hope you all are having a great beginning to your week.

Generally, I find it a little challenging to get dressed for work. I want to be able to show my personality but still keep my attire work friendly. I’m also in my late 20s and want to look youthful but not like I’m trying to be too young. On the other hand, I also want to look sophisticated but not older than my age. Today I found it especially hard to get dressed since I had to wake up earlier than usual. My go to piece when I don’t have any inspiration is a skirt. They are easy to wear and I was always feel feminine and confident when I wear one. A little strange, huh? In the summer I like to feel the rustling of the fabric and the warmth from the sun on my legs. In the winter I like wearing tights and dressing up my legs. That’s actually the best way to fake perfect legs. You can’t see any bruises, marks or any other unsightly things.
So, tell me what is your go to piece when getting dressed when you’re short on time or don’t have the energy to get dressed.

Normally, you can’t pay me to wear red but during this time of year I find the color quite appealing. In fear of looking like an eyesore I coupled the skirt with a neutral colored chunky knit sweater. I love this sweater. I foresee this item in heavy rotation in future get-ups this season. And these boots are so comfortable. They may not look it but looks are deceiving. I could run in these boots if needed. I had been on the hunt for boots like these and finally snagged a pair. Yay!

It’s hard to let some things go. Like my shorts…Over the weekend the weather was pretty delightful so I wore shorts. When the weather is cooler they look great with a sweater and tights. It’s easy fashion that yields a lot of style. I would recommend wearing corduroy, leather, tweed, or wool shorts. Texture is everything. Also, make sure that your top isn’t longer than your shorts. You don’t want it to seem like you’re not wearing any bottoms.

This has been a wonderful weekend. I spent some quality time with family. I also had an opportunity to do a little shopping. Now, I’m kicking myself for not purchasing this stunning black Calvin Klein cardigan with the leather front. It was on sale too. I should have jumped at the opportunity to add this to my wardrobe but I couldn’t justify buying another sweater (even though it was gorgeous). Now I’m here with non-buyers’ remorse. Though I commend myself for not over indulging but I would’ve looked freaking great in that sweater.
Have you ever deeply regretted not acting on a great shopper-tunity? If so, share your experience below.

I was feeling uninspired today and had no clue what to wear. In times like these I reach for my skinny jeans. Today was no different. Skinnies can look really polished with a blazer and sleek footwear. I think the darker the denim the more polished the look. They also create a great slimming illusion too.

Sweater Hat DIY
Using leftovers from a sweater that I deconstructed, I was able to make these cute hats. Create one for yourself and that special little one in your life. Mine is for my 6-year-old cousin who is a Fashionista in the making.
What you need: an old sweater, scissors, needle and thread, glue gun, pom poms, zippers or whatever you prefer to use for decoration.
I used an already cut up sweater but you can take an old sweater and remove the sleeves.
Turn the sleeve inside out and stitch the side with the smaller opening closed. This will become the top of the hat.
Turn sleeve right-side out and fold the other end of the sleeve. Fold this end a couple of times to get that desired fit. You can stitch the fold or use a glue gun to maintain the fold.
Here comes the fun part. I used zippers and created this flower. I coiled one to create the center and used another for the petals. I folded the zipper in loops and structured them to create a circle. (Glue each loop as you go to keep the shape.) I then took a piece of felt and glued the pieces to it to create the flower. I then glued the flower to the hat. You can use sequins, fur pieces, ribbon whatever suits your taste to create your very own winter knit hat.
Enjoy!
I woke up feeling cheerful and optimistic and thought that I should wear this sweater to keep my bright disposition. This is one of my favorite skirts that I own. It reminds me of a trench coat and the bow is charming. At the moment, I’m really into leg warmers. I like that my legs stay warm and toasty without being totally hidden.
I hope everyone is having a great week and in a sunny state of mind.

There’s something about wearing white in the Fall/ Winter that I love. It looks crisp and elegant. There are a few things to remember before incorporating it into your wardrobe. Whether cashmere or wool, make sure that you’re wearing white in the right texture (according to the weather). Also, be sure that you’re not wearing pure white. Go a few shades off white to look appropriate for the season.
