Skirt Dress Revisited

So, I decided to actually wear this as a skirt :) With an airy, bright canary yellow v-neck sweater, I threw on a wide belt to give the skirt a high-waisted look. I paired it with my purple patent-leather open-toe wedges and a black Birkin-style handbag (that's for sale in my poshmark closet, fyi). I love how I felt in this outfit and will definitely be wearing it again.

February Find #28

Well Chica's, this is the very last Fab February Find as it is the last day of the month and I thought I'd showcase an item that is the very essence of what I'm feeling right now... bright and cheery, fun and playful.

I grabbed these flats from Old Navy on clearance for $8.99 and I can't wait to wear them this spring. Of course, they are in one of my favorite colors, yellow! The reason I chose these as the last Fab February Find is because they are sort of the culmination of all my Fab February Finds.

They are light, fun, casual, playful, feminine, bright and comfortable. Everything I post on my blogs fits in several of these categories, but ALL of them must be comfortable. With two children, I need stylish clothing and accessories that I don't have to fuss with, but still look great in. I don't worry when I get a stain on them, I just wash them out or buy something new :) I swear my closet should have rotating doors lol.

Anyhow, there it is, #28. I'll see you Chica's in March ;)

Fab February Find #26

Morn-ting Chica's! I'm having an amazing morning. I just found out last night that all my hard work has paid off and I was invited and accepted into the honor society! (applause lol) I'm so excited!

But, today's Fab February Find is this yellow wooden necklace that I got for Christmas. My grandmother is the queen of giving some of the most unique and useful gifts. One year she got a spinning toothbrush, which I loved, and toothpaste :)

This particular year, we all sat in my aunt's kitchen and played the numbers game for each item she pulled out of the bag. This is one of the pieces I won. It's a basic necklace, but it looks very worn, which I like. This is definitely going to be one of my spring season staples. You guys know that I love yellow! :)

Solange Knowles: Fashion Beast

Chica's, it goes without saying that I am in love with Solange Knowles fashion statements. She dresses to impress and even her most relaxed looks are edgy and eye-catching. So, instead of repeating how much I adore this fashionista, let's just look at some pics together!

You'll be seeing some of these pieces and looks in upcoming blogs with my own spin on them of course! Until then...

Winter Layers

Morning Chica's! I'm back to school and back to studying, writing papers and taking tests, but I could not forget to post my first day outfit.

Layers aren't just trending. I literally had to layer today because it's so freakin' cold in New England. There was snow on the ground and I was not a happy camper. I should be used to the weather since I've lived here all my life... BUT I'M NOT! I'll never get used to the frequently changing weather.

Back to the outfit: I pulled out my favorite boots and clutch and thought denim would be warm. Call me crazy, but I didn't want to wear a heavy coat today. (You said, "Where they do that at???" Here. LOL) I am wearing nude hosiery though. I'm not completely foolish. Anywho, I grabbed my denim blazer from the closet and this Land's End chambray shirt, but it wasn't warm enough when I went outside. I missed my first bus, but ran back inside and paired the look with this sweater from Old Navy.

I'm warm now and the sun's coming out so maybe I won't totally regret not wearing jeans or leggings. My only regret: This skirt is way too light weight for a windy day. I'm sure I flashed this guy getting off the bus, but overall, I love it and I feel great in it.

Sincerely,

Mellow Yellow

Hey Chica's, Happy Saturday! Today was a very low-key day for me, but of course I still dress for any possible occassion. If you know me, you know I loooovvvveee bright colors; hot pinks are my very favorite and I love me some yellow! I had my two girls with me today (no school) so being comfortable is an absolute must.

I bought this skirt in yellow and coral from Old Navy on clearance for $3.00 each. The skirt is cotton, very lightweight (not the best option for windy days btw, unless you want a Marilyn Monroe moment) and breathable. The white tee is a heavier cotton with a little spandex also from Old Navy ($8.50).

These mustard flats... I adore! Super comfortable and because of the color against my complexion, can be easily worn as a "nude" neutral with several outfits. These were $10.

The rest of my outfit is thrifted. My dark wash denim blazer was $4.98, the yellow wooden beaded necklace was $1.98, and the light brown clutch with a woven detail (see below) was $2.98.

My outfit's total cost: $31.44! Wow, I can't believe how little I spend to look so fabulous sometimes. I live for a sweet deal!

I was feeling very mellow in my yellow today :)
