Outfit For The Day

I liked this outfit because it was nice, casual and cute for my daily errands, my tan cardigan and gladiator sandals toned down the busyness of my bright red and blue floral pattern. I rate this outfit a 7 because its not that creative or fashion forward but it is appropriate for what it was meant to be for so thats good. Is there another piece that could have added to this outfit? uuuum. not so much, maybe some louder earrings but the print is too out there for me to have added a necklace. next time i'll look for a red cardigan instead to play up some color!

New Stuff, Update, Fall must haves!

     Let me start with my total apologies for not updating but as mymahci would say, meh.
So I'm going to begin with some items that I just bought and am totally excited to wear!

 This floral dress is awesome!
and I only paid 12.95 so that's even better. I can use it not only for the coming Fall but for next Spring and Summer. During Fall I'll layer it with other pieces, wear leggings and of course pair it with some boots and maybe throw in a scarf. All depending on how cold it is.
 I have never been brave to have a tie-die anything, (or thought it was cute enough) but when I saw this dress on the sales rack it was lust at first sight! casual and dress up-able (and I can show off my awesome legs)
Stripes are kind of last Fall and spots are this seasons pattern but I'm getting ahead of myself, I just couldn't pass it up, 11 bucks?! and the material was nice and heavy. Stripes always seem to me as something that I would wear in the Hamptons while I'm on vacation.








I also bought two new scarfs, (scarves?)
one is a burnt knit yellow that can be layered and layered, awesome.
the second is a caramel colored scarf that at the ends has all these little strings hang'n kind of like the 20's dresses? cute.

Fall Must Haves

1.  Jewel Tones (Saphire, Ruby Red, Burnt Yellow)

These eye catching colors are fun to mix in with an other wise boring outfit. Give it a little OOMPH.










2. Spots. . .<3


Spots are a fun and sure way to be in style, especially because spots are on our shirts, pants, shoes and purses not to mention some accessories so using this trend will be a cinch for us.




















3. Fetish
 This trend is called Fetish because as I told you girls in an earlier post, the sheer is in. but now they're mixing it with ruffles, leather, lace and silk. I'll include a runway photo so you can see what I'm talk'n about.





















4. Sixties

Sixties inspired is back, so break out your hair teasing products, pack on that mascara and dust out your flats to hitch a ride on this trend.



















5.  Fur

The Fur vest is a piece that I have yet to get, but I'm looking for the perfect one. There are so many variations to it that I don't always like the different take on it. Rachel Zoe's vest is the best one that I've seen and hope to get something similar.














    6 & 7. and lastly, python is STILL in. (ugh, hopefully i'll warm up to it soon) also surprisingly are fedora's a staple piece from summer.















UPDATES

           I have been thinking that in order for me to put outfits of what I wear more consistently, I am going to start doing something called outfit of the day, where when I wear a cute outfit that is decent enough to put online I will take a picture and do so. What I will talk about in each post will be outlined here after....
1. On a scale of 1-10 how proud am I of this outfit
2. Do I wish I had a different piece that I feel would make this outfit better
3. Will I dress it differently next time
sooooo send me your questions, comments or suggestions.

ciao bellas :)
