"Two-Toned"

Hey loves. I hate to keep apologizing for my lack of posting,but once my mojo returns and my level of work calms down I will be back on my regular posting schedule I promise. The weather here is still very emotional, so yesterday I was able to wear my FAVORITE jacket when I met one of my dear friends for lunch. I paired it with black jeans, my go to Jeffery Campbell Litas and a patchwork newsboy cap.

This coat is my fashion testimony. I immediately fell in love with it when I first came out but since it was $398, it was completely out of my price range, so I waited and waited, and waited,and waited ( 3 months exactly) and then finally at the end of the winter season  it went on sale at Dillards for $148 with an extra 60% off...YES LAWRD!!!!

See good things do come to those that wait:0)

"Shades of Grey"

Happy Monday loves. As you all know I am a serious clothes hoarder and I have been trying to make a conscience effort to shop from my closet. With that being said I am going to give my self a pat on the back for recreating this grey monochromatic look from items that I have had forever.

I bought these boots from Endless Shoes last summer. They were on sale for like $25 bucks. I pretty much had given up on the chance of ever wearing thigh highs, but the fashion Gods blessed me with a pair that actually fit comfortably. I am kicking myself for not ordering the black pair.

I paired them with grey tights, wide-brimmed hat, shawl, and a sweater dress. This dress is actually pencil length and falls below my knee, but I did a boot-legged hem with some fabric tape to create a mini. I didn't want to permanently change the length of the dress because I like wearing it both ways.

You can check out some of my other monochromatic looks HERE, HERE, and HERE.

"Lilac and Leather"

So yeah, the 70 degree weather I have been enjoying is gone and has been substituted with cold and rain. Once the rain disappeared and we had cold temperatures but then around 2 o' clock  it will suddenly warm up to a comfortable 55-60 degrees.**heavy sigh**. On Friday this was the type of day we had, so I tried to get some wear out of my winter accessories that have been collecting dust by pulling out my favorite scarf and glove combination.

I found these gloves last year at my favorite consignment store and stumbled upon this scarf at H&M a couple of weeks ago on their clearance rack. I really wanted the color to pop, so I kept it simple with all black skinnies, sweater, and leather bomber.

I really wish they would've had this scarf left in other colors, I would've definitely added as many to my wardrobe as possible, It's so soft and warm.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! xoxo

"Opera Length"

I love, love, love winter fashion accessories. Gloves, faux fur, wide- brimmed hats, capes, coats, boots, I live for it all. Unfortunately I do not get to wear a lot of my accessories because it rarely gets cold enough in Atlanta to do so. We have spurts of cold weather, so many of my favorite accessories don't even get taken out of my winter storage containers. Last weekend we had really cold, brisk temperatures,(this weekend it was 70 degrees,smh...I digress) so I was able to pull out a pair of my favorite gloves that I have been dying to wear.

I found these gloves about four years ago on clearance at Neiman Marcus :Last Call. I paired them with black riding pants, turtle neck, and a cape that I recently found for a ridiculously low price at Nordstrom Rack.

These boots were such a fashion blessing when I found them four years ago. As I mentioned before I have the hardest time finding boots that fit my calves, so needless to say I was overjoyed that these fit.

 A special shout out to my homie Sam for braving the temperatures with me to get my shots. As you see the wind  this day was serious!

Happy Monday! xoxo

"Emancipation"

Hey ladies ( and some gents) I am back from a week and a half hiatus. I apologize for being M.I.A, but  I have had so much going on in my life that it really got to the point where I had to step back and evaluate some things. I needed a clear mind to  make an extremely difficult business decision to "free" myself from some things that were causing me a lot of spiritual, financial, and mental stress. I regrouped this weekend and decided to take a break from my Uggs and sweat pants, and I stepped back into my old fashion forward self.

I decided to recreate an outfit I wore a couple weeks back when I attempted to go to a party with one of my girlfriends. The party was a bust, I had to wait in line ,annnnnnd I wasted an outfit, which as you should already know is a fashionista's biggest pet peeve! I paired my favorite  tights with a short/suspender combination that I first wore HERE. I removed the suspenders and added a sweater, wide brim hat, and a jacket/dress with gold details that I thrifted last week for four bucks!

I am so in love with this gold studded clutch that I first wore HERE. It holds and goes with EVERYTHING! I am also a huge fan of hats. Fedoras, snap backs, newsboys, tams, you name it I love them all. I especially love wearing these type of wide brimmed hats in the fall in winter.

As 2012 quickly comes to an end. I am doing a lot of self reflecting in hopes to learn from mistakes I have made, and use them as stepping stones to become stronger and grow. What are some of your resolutions?
