Switching up style

Hey guys,

So this week has been something else, the weather is either too cold or too hot. Which to me is extremely annoying because I don't know wtf to wear! I wanted to look nice so I decided to wear a long skirt with my boots for the first time. I have worn this skirt before during the summer but I was able to transition it into fall. I wanted a contemporary kardashion look so I added the wide belt to highlight my waist. I also wore a leotard so that I wouldn't get annoyed with keeping the top tucked under the skirt. I loved this look I even pinned the skirt up to create a whole new skirt with amazing detail. My sister even thought it was a different skirt. I added the leather jacket for a edgy city look and to bring out the pale pink color from the skirt. Moral of the story is to just get creative with your clothes because you never know what you'll come up with.

It's a #throwback

Hey Ya'll,

So it's time for layers!!!! Fall gives me the opportunity to show off my entire ensemble well if the weather permits it. Just knowing that when I go outside my conture won't melt off my face and my hair won't be a sweaty ass mess is all that I need for a great fashionable  day.
But what to wear? Well you could  go out and buy yourself a whole new wardrobe. Or if you don't have the extra cash then you could go through your closets and drawers for some throwback pieces, put those pieces together and reinvent yourself the perfect fall wardrobe.
How I reinvent my wardrobe takes a little bit of research, creativity and inspiration. I surf through other curvy blogs, magazines, social media sites and online shops. Then I look into my closets and drawers and find those traditional key pieces that can be able to finalize my outfits.
My problem has been letting clothes go. I will hoard till the room bursts with outdated shirts and old sweaters. Always concerned about the chance that, that particular item that I let go the other day wouldn't all of a sudden come back into the limelight. But I'm here to say let it go. If you haven't wore it in over a year let it go. You don't need it so get rid of it. There's no need for the clutter.
This ensemble is a perfect example of reinventing throwback pieces. My plaid tunic came into the scene and in my closet back in 2010 ish. It's been a few years since I wore it until that night. Since 2010 plaids and print in general have been all over my screens and print. Not to mention the length of dresses, tunics and tops have a longer hem line. So this piece has been a reinvented item for my wardrobe. I paired the top with my favorite Forever 21 leggings, classic black leather jacket and black riding boots. Happy recycling!!!

Starting the transition

Hey guys,

So it's becoming that time of the year where the weather changes and forces us to transition our wardrobes. It sucks. But I love to layer and really get into revamping my style. On this particular night it was breezing not cold so this sweater croptop was just enough. I paired it with a pair of athletic black joggers, because it was dead at night and no one noticed. Besides everything was cute and simple. This croptop has the perfect design of white lace over the silvery gray knit. It's also amazingly soft. Transitioning isn't the end of the world, it just leads to so many other outfit ideas. Happy styling!

White after labor day?

Hey guys,

I know that this post is late but it's better than never. The debate is white, do I wear it or nah? Well I'm here to say wear whatever you want. If you wanna wear white you could do so. I so see white outerwear coming back with in a few weeks celebrating the change of weather. Besides it looks so clean and chic to wear white. Have fun with it. I always feel a little bit extra while wearing white. These forever 21 white jeans have been in my closet for some time now. They stretch and are long enough for my 5'11 almost 6ft height. I paired the outfit with a peach/coral colored leotard and gold strap Sandals. So in conclusion forget that rule about after labor day because in fashion there are no rules. Enjoy my angels......

Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits..... there just amazing a total outfit in one suit just accessorize and go. My outfits take a while to come up in my head and then fully executing the task takes even longer. I catch myself taking over a hour pulling myself together but that includes hair and makeup if I choose. The fact of the matter is that it takes me forever to get ready and with a jumpsuit it saves me 30 minutes of contemplating madness. This number I ordered from Groupon so I can't really say where it came from. But you should check it out sometime because you never know what you might find.

Date night with Ant Man

Hey Y'all!

Last night was a perfect date night to the movies with my babe. We went to go see Marvels Ant Man which was amazing. It had all the right amounts of action, special effects, Easter eggs, Witt and overall story line. I loved that it was straight forward and not a whole lot of gut wrenching drama. Go watch it! 
Now back to the outfit. These are one of my favorite pairs of leggings from Forever 21. They have the right amount of sheer to look fun and sexy. There great for those that are tall and are very comfortable but you should size up if you have hips because there made snug. You could also dress them up or dress them down very easily.
The top was found at H&M and I had to get it because it was just to cute to pass up, especially if the art is of donuts. By the way I love me some donuts. Lol. The top is extremely soft and light for those Summer night breezes. And it draped pretty well for the size.
I'm a size 2X or 3X depending on the cut. But most of the tops from H&M only go up to a size Large or XL but lucky for those that are curvy they are mostly cut wide enough to fit. So always, always try them on before putting it down because you just might be surprised. The sneakers are my Disney princess Vans. And again no makeup.
