This might be a bit of an obvious post, but I think we all get stuck in the jeans and sweater rut when the weather turns cold. Not that there’s anything wrong with jeans and a sweater. It’s a great combination in fact and a wonderful go-to for the colder months, but in case you…

Monochrome Gold Look
I’ve been reaching for gold tones quite frequently lately and I’ve already shared several looks with gold/yellow colors like here and here. This time my look is monochrome gold.

I shocked myself by putting together another monochrome look (black again like the one here) so soon after my previous one. This one has a different vibe though consisting of a dressy black top and velvet leggings. The crochet top is pretty sparkly and I love the hint or ruffle trim peeking out from the…

I love monochrome (or mostly monochrome) looks. Usually those end up being black, white, blue or dark shades of red since those are the colors I wear most often and this look falls under that umbrella. I’ve had these sequin combat boots for a month or two, but this is the first time I wore…
