Back To Basics

Ive been quite busy these past few months with focusing on school and my design class. Being on Christmas break with more time now makes me eager to start back blogging again. Especially with some great new thrifting pieces Ive been accumulating lately

I find myself every year during fall slowing making my way back to wearing darker color tones of auburn, greens, and browns the most. Relaxed-fits and layering will always be my go-to attributes for the fall. Which makes me love this hand-me-down drapery lapel blazer even more. What color schemes and silhouettes do you guys find yourself getting into this season?

With all the snow days here in North Carolina in the past week,  it gave me some extra time to plan a shoot this weekend as I watched the snow melt.   The cold air was a little rough but keeping up with looks in Fashion Week gave me the inspiration I needed to get it done. And also some styles to look forward to in warmer weather.  What trends of Fashion Week got you motivated for the summer?

Stripes Of Geo

 I think the sun was definitely playing with me today with this outfit as it was going in and out of the clouds.  Either way, it didn't stop my eagerness to pair up some cool prints today.

 

  

I think this sundress may literally be the first dress ever that I have found to form-fit me perfectly without making me look too wide or bigger at the top.  I don't usually where many dresses. But when I do I have to be careful with some like the elastic waist or sash dresses that tends to make me look wider than I really am.

This clutch is so dang eye-catching in which I have gotten a lot of compliments off of .  Can you believe it that I go it at a discount store for half its value! (DANCES) 

Original price: $24    Discount price: $12!

 

 I was such in awe when I first discovered these thrifted earrings last year.  They are so unique and still in perfect condition from when I bagged them.  I'm just realizing it now but they kinda give off a tribal feel similar to my clutch. Don't you think?

This wrap-around bracelet is also another item I spotted at a discount store.  They are quite convenient because you can literally throw it around your arm and keep it moving. Although some bangles are very fashionably cute, I really hate the ones where you have to squeeze your arm into and its then hard to get off! (SO ANNOYING)
