I think I’m really starting to get into the monochrome look. It feels classic and I enjoy the challenge of trying to make an outfit interesting despite only using one color. There are several ways to do this. The first is by choosing a color that makes a statement on its own;…
Sheer: Sheer Rust Top, Shorts and Over-the-Knee Boots
I enjoy wearing sheer items and tops in particular since they are the easiest way to incorporate sheer fabric into your look. When wearing sheer items, you can either show off their see-through nature by showing more skin which is the sexier route and the one I often take when the weather permits. Or you…
Hint of Spice: Sheer Floral Top and Faux Leather Leggings
To be honest, this top reminds me a bit of lingerie. It’s not a very strong similarity, but there’s just something about the sheer fabric and the loose flowing cut that makes me think of lacey things I may or may not wear for an at-home date night. I don’t mind though. If anything I…
I’m Not Strong Enough to Stay Away: Blue Rose and Copper Holographic Nails
I’m back to using the rose decal set for my nails I used not too long ago (here and here). It’s just so pretty, but there is definitely something wrong with the quality since the previous manicures chipped so quickly on me. Still, I can’t stay away from the prettiness for too long and I’ll…
Dotty: Sheer Polka Dot Top, Shorts and Over-the-Knee Boots
I’ve been seeing polka dots a lot lately and it made me nostalgic enough to pull out my own. I’ve always liked polka dots. Something about the print felt a bit retro and cute, but in an elegant way. This top has always been one I love to wear. In fact I…
Red Velvet: Red Velvet Dress and Black Boots
I wore this red velvet dress a few times in the winter and have loved it every time. It’s a bit warmer than a typical summer dress but the weather is still unpredictable so it worked perfectly with a pair of black boots and a black crystal (but really glass I’m sure) necklace. …
Oh Deer: Black Tulle Skirt and Red Bell Sleeve Top
My husband and I took a walk in a park that’s within a small community not too far from us and to our shock and delight, we saw a deer. In a city park. We couldn’t believe our eyes. They are not that common a sight even when one goes hiking outside the city, but…
Monochrome Black: Lace-Up Top and Leather Skirt
I put together another monochrome black look. I think I might be developing a pattern. This one is really simple too with more classic elements. I love the little details that keep this look from being boring; like the lace-up potions at the shoulders of the top and the leather texture of the skirt. Sometimes…
Black Patterns: Black Pattern over Pink Shimmer Nails
I realized I haven’t done a truly shimmery manicure for a while and decided to create one where I would let the shimmer shine (as you can see, I have such a varied vocabulary). Of course just shiny shimmer wasn’t interesting enough and there are few patterns that can work well over such a bright…
How to Wear a Slip Dress: Navy Velvet Top and Black Slip Dress
Slip dresses are such an easy piece to style once you get the hang of them. They are lovely on their own whether they have a pattern or not and regardless of the fabric and there are so many possibilities for things to wear with them. On its own, a slip dress is an elegant…
