Hi Stylers –

I meant to get this post up here much earlier but it turns out blogging while working a full time job isn’t as easy a feat as one might imagine. But none the less – I am going to try my best to get outfits up here, even if that means sporadic posting. After all… doesn’t the saying go “better late than never”? Here’s an outfit we’ll call The Kiss of Stripes.

Oversized Jacket – Nordstrom Rack

Graphic Tee – PacSun

Shorts – Urban Outfitters

Necklaces – Express and Forever 21

Heels – Burlington Coat Factory

My favorite thing about clothing is the versatility. While we usually run to the store when we think we have nothing to wear, what we really should be doing is getting creative. You can make a piece look completely different depending on how you pair and style it. This is one of my day to night transition looks from the other day – keeping the striped black and pink skirt in both looks!

The left is an edgy yet work appropriate look. The skirt (Kohls) is worn over a pair of black tights (Nine West) with an acid wash button up (Pac Sun) and black vest (H&M) with black combat boots (TJ Maxx).

In order to dress the look up for a night out I added a pair of knee high socks (Urban Outfitters) and black buttoned heels (Burlington Coat Factory), complete with a graphic crop top (Pac Sun).

Two looks, for two different times of day! So next time you think you’ve run out of things to wear, try switching things up a bit! It’s a great way to test your creativity while keeping your money safely where it should be 😉

Let’s talk earring cuffs. Now I know the trend emerged a few years ago, but with the increasing styles and different takes on the cuff – I would say this accessory is still in it’s time. Today I’m sharing with you some fun cuffs in a variety of styles at (mostly) reasonable prices! Ranging from a full ear cuff, to a simple wrap, to an elegant dangle to edgy feathers it’s all on this board.

Yesterday I got to catch up with one of my long lost best friends who is also the author of blog Essence of Natural. We ventured into downtown Rochester to a small coffee shop called Pour Coffee Parlor located on Somerton Street. The inside was very beautiful and classic, complete with a vase of flowers on each table. We sat and blogged for a while as I enjoyed an ice cold early grey tea. After we were finished, we went outside for a small photo shoot in the surrounding area! Here are some of the photos we took 🙂

Lace Shirt – Hollister (from Plato’s Closet) | Polka Dot Shorts – Urban Outfitters | Blue Cardigan – Jennyfer | Wedges – Burlington Coat Factory | Earrings – Vintage

For this week’s posts, I have decided to create outfits inspired by different pair of shoes. Today’s pair are the Steve Madden OBSESSONs.

Also available in black or black and tan, the OBSESSON platforms are the perfect summer sandal.

The Outfit:
Paired with off white cut out shorts from H&M and a high neck crop top from Free People. Accessorized with a gold ladder necklace from Urban Outfitters and a spiral arm cuff from NEW LOOK. The outfit is paired with a white woven leather shoulder bag from Fossil.

So, I don’t usually post on the weekends, but I came across a shirt I was really inspired by. I have a t-shirt that says “There’s no crying in fashion” but I would love to have this one as well!

In order to make the shirt the statement piece, I just paired it with black high waisted shorts, black wedge tie sandals, a black fedora and a simple cord necklace. It says “STYLE IS A WAY OF LIFE. NEVER FORGET TO WEAR A SMILE.” So true. So relevant.

Have a great weekend Fashionistas and we will meet again on Monday!

The look:

Graphic Tee (CHOiES) – Fedora (Urban Outfitters) – Necklace (Urban Outfitters) – Shorts (Forever 21) – Wedges (Swell)

When I go out shopping for new clothes, there is one thing I look for: items with versatility. I don’t go out and buy an awesome shirt that can only be worn one time. (Unless that shirt is to DIE for.) I look for items that can act as staples in many different outfits.

Here is an example of two of my staple items that can be worn to create two different looks:

Staple Items:

-Black Crop Top (H&M): Goes perfect with any detailed bottom.

-Black Studded Boots (Mossimo Supply Co.): Go well with a skirt, or with tights and shorts.

Shown in Outfit 1:

Silver tile plated necklace: Forever 21

Shorts: Urban Outfitters

Show in Outfit 2:

Black knit sweater: Express

Black and silver necklace: PacSun

Galaxy skirt: Burlington Coat Factory
