Hi Fashionistas,

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  I spent it with family and friends bbq it up. We laughed and ate really good. I can’t believe we are in September where has summer gone. Although I’m a fall person. I can say for us new yorkers we really did not have a summer.

I have been told I own a lot of clothes to the point it appears I only wear things once or not at all. So I put myself on a mission to try and wear most of my items that have been sitting in my closet for awhile.

Hence this peter pilotto dress from target I purchased a few months back on clearance for about $20 which I was happy about. I loved everything about this dress.  From the print to the fit.

I actually wore this dress to church a few Sundays ago. I wore it with a bright neon yellow jacket which was not picture.  I wore my zara flats as I wanted the dress to stand out which it did.

Excuse the quality of the pics. I had my 15 year old brother take them for me. To winterize this dress you can wear it with a leather jacket and boots which I will do. So look out for this dress again on the blog. Hope everyone has a great week.

Colorful Pants

Hi Fashionistas,

Hope everyone doing well. Are you guys excited as I am about the three day weekend that is approaching us. I’m looking forward to some relaxation and just enjoying time with family and friends. 

Now I have been trying to shop my closet more and not spend much for new items since I have a few items I have not got to wear at all as of yet.

A few summers ago I purchased some jumpers where I loved them but then I hated them after a while.  I guess that’s what happens when your style changes.  So I was going to part with the items and donate them but then I came up with an idea of making them into harem style pants.

Which is the end result if what you are currently seeing now. I simply just folded the jumper since it has elastic and it was good to wear. I paired it with a tank and a chambray shirt which I’m obsessed with styling it with all my clothing items over dress and etc.

My rose gold nike sky hi dunks gave the outfit the extra kick to the outfit lol.  Hopefully you enjoy this look and look forward to your comments.

Hi Fashionistas,

You ever have a favorite item in your closet that you just adore and can not get rid of well that’s me all the way. This dress is one of my favorites as it has the bold prints and colors all in one which is a plus in my opinion. 

I purchased this dress about a year ago when I was doing my wedding planning.  I stumbled upon a warehouse that sells amazing dresses for cheap. When I saw this one I had to have it. The quality was amazing and the dress was unique and different. 

I paired it with some gold flats from forever 21 last year and I love the shoes they are comfy and are my go to.

A maxi dress is my quick go to outfit to just throw on and go especially when running late. Hope you enjoy this look .

Hi Fashionistas,

Hope everyone is doing well. Summer is almost over and I wonder where has the months went as it was not as hot as I thought it would be. I more of a fall weather girl so bring it on lol.

This was a look I wore to a birthday event I attended.  I had to work earlier so I wanted to wear something work appropriate as well.

I adore midi skirts for that reason as they are perfect and age appropriate in my opinion.  There are a lot of ways to style a midi skirt.

For this one I decided to wear a silk floral thrifted button down blouse that I scored at good will for seven dollars and it is by calvin Klein which is a double plus. The skirt was from ebay but it was gifted to me by the company after an error that was made.

I didn’t realize the skirt was see through but lucky my shirt was long enough but next time I know. The shoes I love.  Purchased from Dsw awhile back and they are unique and  comfortable at the same time.

Hope you enjoy this look and make sure to comment.

Hi Fashionistas,

T.G.I.F Who else besides myself is happy the weekend is approaching.  I’m just excited to not have any major plans this weekend as I have been extremely busy for the past weekends. Looking forward to organizing my house.

I know the title feeling blue can mean many things but for me it’s about this navy blue flowy dress that I scored from NY and Company for only $13 yes you see correctly.

I actually wore thus dress on one of the nights out on the town while I was away in punta cana.  I love how the dress look and feel. You could also wear it without the belt to if you want a different look.

I paired it with my clutch and sandals which were part of my basic trip essentials.  The key to packing is to pack a shoe that goes with most of your outfits. That way you do not overpack.

I loved everything about this look and I’m excited to wear this dress again.  So stay tune and look forward to your comments.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday.  It’s a gloomy day here in NYC which makes me go back to dreaming of my vacation from last month.

When it comes to summer I love a good summer dress. When I saw this dress at the banana republic outlet I loved everything about it. The print was amazing and the dress was lightweight which was a plus.

The dress has a mixture of two things I love stripes and a print pattern and together it worked well. I wanted the dress to stand out so I paired it with a simple necklace and cute sandals. 
The coach clutch wristlet went with most of my outfits which was good if you do not want to over pack on bags :).

Hope you enjoy this look and I have one more to share with you by the end of the week. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. We all know about the infamous pineapple trend. I have seen so many tops and bottoms with the popular fruit but I was not sure if it was my style.

Last month I went away on vacation to Punta Cana in Dominican Republic and so I wanted some different vacation looks. Upon shopping I went to khols where I stumble upon this petersomo for Kohls shirt. What I love about this top was that it had a mixture of pineapples and stripes and it wasn’t all out there. The shirt was slow material and light.  I scored it on clearance as well which is a plus.  I paired it with some Denim shorts also from khols and my Kenneth Cole sandals I purchased from the outlet.

This look was perfect for those hot days on vacation. How do you wear rock the pineapple trend.  Would love to hear about it. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Hope everyone having a great week so far. I’m excited for the week to be over and the lovely weekend to come into effect.

Peplum has been a trend that has been going on for awhile from skirts to shirts and dresses. I own a few in ny closet that I love.

When I saw this Eva Mendes for new York and company knitted dress. I knew it Belonged in my closet.  I love that it was simple and had the lace detail on it as well. The Peplum added the extra touch. 

This dress is perfect to wear to work and after or even to a wedding.  Just by changing your accessories and shoes.

I paired my look with these cute sandals from express and one of my favorite statement necklaces.  Which gave the dress the extra touch.

Do you like peplum dresses and if so how would you wear it. Love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy monday. Hope everyone had a blessed weekend.  Mines was full of spending good times with family and friends.

I love to wear colorful outfits in the summer because they are fun. I also enjoy the two piece trend of matching outfit sets. I know I said this before but Jcpenney is my favorite store for some fashionable and affordable clothing. 

I purchased this from jcpenney awhile back and decided to wear it recently to work. I initially was going to wear heels but I opted to wear my sandals. The skirt is high low and the top is actually a crop top but I pulled the skirt up so that it can be covered. 

I love the colors as it looks like paint was thrown on it and made a great design lol. What I love is I can wear it separately as well wearing the top or skirt with other pieces in my closet which I will be doing.

Hope you enjoy this look and enjoy the rest of your week.

Hi Fashionistas,

Every one loves a cute and easy breezy summer outfit. I had recently started thrifting a year ago as I was living under a rock lol but I have been finding some amazing fines but I realize that you have to have time and patience when thrifting so you can look through everything. 

On a recent trip to my local goodwill I stumble upon this cute knitted with tulle baby doll dress. Looking at it from the hanger I said this looks like a top because the way my body is shaped it was not happening lol.

So I paired it with some jean shorts that I made myself just by cutting it to the Length I want from an old pair I no longer wear. Paired it with my cute flats from nine west and a crop jean jacket.

This look was cute and one of my favorites for summer.  Hoped you enjoyed it as much as I did and have a great weekend.
