Wrapped up in Spring

I have been so busy working I have not had time to share style! Spring is here now, so what better time to pick up where I left off!? The transitioning temperatures spring brings make it the perfect time for wearing light layers and mixing in a few pastels shades to your wardrobe.  As always there are an array of trends for spring but my favorite is wearing florals. Florals are always in style! Floral prints with a dark background are great for a look that will transition from afternoon to evening. This skirt and top are sold as separates from Forever 21. The skirt could be worn with a simple white top rather than the matching one, for a different look.

I have been super busy so I haven't had time to post in a while. I wanted to do something fun! What better than a look with socks and sandals?! I am obsessed with socks and when done right I think this can be a fun yet still polished look. Depending on the shoe and sock combo you can look chic, sexy, or professional. Socks with heels are also very functional in cooler weather. Wear your favorite pumps and sandals all year long! I live in the southern part of the United States and the weather has been unseasonably warm. I wore my sparkley printed sandals with solid socks, and a midi length pencil skirt for a playful yet grown up look.

Little Black Details

 

  

The little black dress is a wardrobe staple because there is one to suit every body for every occasion. Black exudes confidence, sexiness, and even comfort when you find it in the right style for you. This would be just a basic black dress if it weren't for the special details. The midi length of this dress and long sleeves make it elegant and sophisticated. The special detail of course is the low cut strappy back. I find it sexy because the back is covered yet exposed at the same time. The dress is from Charlotte Russe which has some very good looking affordable occasion dresses.

A Single Hue

 

 

I thought this shade of wine was the perfect jewel tone for fall so I did it head to toe, well almost! Matching one shade for a complete outfit is a chic fashion statement. One continuous color from top to bottom gives the illusion of being taller and a more proportionate shape. My top is from Forever 21 and coincidentally it is a perfect match to my favorite style of midi skirt from Express (it's currently sold out). The hat is also from Express, it adds a modern touch for fall. Socks are my  favorite things to wear in the fall and this little black ankle sock went well with these high heeled oxfords.

70's Chic

I am kind of obsessed with styles and trends from the 1970's, and how to recreate that vibe with current clothing. A-line mini skirts have been popular for a few seasons but are now redone in heavier fabrics for fall and winter. The A-line mini is flattering because it accentuates your waist and shows some leg! This faux suede mini came from H&M and I wanted to add 1970's inspiration with the tailored long sleeve tie neck blouse. I kept everything black and white with the earth tone of the skirt since there are a lot of elements to this look. The black cape adds a touch of drama and is a chic way to keep warm.

Sweater Weather

Fall is here and it's time for sweaters but with a twist! From sweater coats to tops and skirts dressing for cool weather can be fun! Sweaters can be simple or stylish depending on what you pair them with. This ribbed cropped sweater is from Express and has a matching sweater pencil skirt. Warm and sexy is a great combination and that's what this outfit is! I completed the look with a simple twill jacket and these great boots by guess for a "rugged Chic" look.
