"Romantic"

I paid a visit to a couple of my favorite consignment/vintage shops this weekend and stumbled upon this adorable pleated skirt with lace detail. Even though the skirt is too big for me I bought it anyway. I felt $12 was really too much of a steal to leave it on the rack.

I pinned the skirt in the back and covered it up by adding a belt. I have had this lace shirt for yeaaaars. It was a perfect match to help me create an illusion of a dress until I can take the skirt to my alterations lady and have it taken it.

This skirt is super sheer despite having a built in slip. As you see even with the black slip I added it is still very see through.

What better way to complete a "romantic" type look than with a classic pair of Chanel earrings.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I super excited because I will be leaving on Thursday to go to Jamaica for five days **turning cartwheels**. I have literally been working seven days straight since May, so this vacation is so overdue and needed!

"Inspired Look- January"

This month my "Celebrity Inspired Look" comes from Kim Kardashian. Kim along with her sisters and mom are at the top of my "fashion inspiration" list. Their stylist Monica Rose is definitely a beast! Say what you will about Kim but the girl is ALWAYS together  flawless. I wonder how the heck she does it?!?.LOL

Since I am ALWAYS in loud colors, I thought this would be a good look to try. I have never mixed neutrals, but I think the combination of colors is so clean and chic.

This purse is about four years old, and it has been three years since I have even used it!..SMH

I absolutely love doing these inspired looks every month!! It really gives me a chance to try new things and most importantly use things in my closet that have just been sitting there forever.
