Blazer Chic

I'm so excited for this look! It's super simple yet chic. There's nothing quite like the look of a great blazer, especially in white! It's such a simple addition to an outfit, but really adds a bit of classic style. Although I am a fan of all over neutral looks, I love to add a subtle pop of color, hence the fun pink heels. Since the look is pretty sleek, I wanted to top it off with a pulled back hair-do. I love twists around the face, because it makes the look seem like a french twist, but modern. Overall, I really love this look and it's perfect for many occasions.

*This blazer does come in White too!

Black and white, and red all over!

What's black and white and "red" all over! Me! This outfit is super fun with a pop of red in the lining of the jacket. I have been seeing a lot of fellow bloggers rocking the white jeans this fall/winter and I'm loving it! Although, there are rules when it comes to fashion, in the end isn't it all about breaking them? True style is taking the rules and throwing them out the window and making your look perfect for you! Plus, even fashion rules ebb and flow!! 

Here's a few that I like to break or they're outdated:

1. Don't wear black AND brown/navy

2. No white after labor day

3. Your bag should always match your shoes

4. Your socks must not show when wearing ankle shoes (now very trendy)

5. No mixing gold and silver jewelry

How do you BREAK the rules?

Layers upon layers

I'm still not quite over last years winter, so with every breath of brisk air I am filled with anxiety! I'm sure many of you experienced the incredibly terrible winter last year, so we must all band together and enjoy every ounce of the fall months we have left.

 

I cannot believe it is November! Where has this year gone? I've made it a goal to have all my X-Mas gifts purchased and wrapped this year by Thanksgiving. The check incident of 2013 must not be repeated.

 

This outfit is super comfy and simple, hence the rambling on about winter and the holidays. Basically, I made my trusty dress a little more appropriate for the colder temps with tights and a light sweater and you can't have a truly cute monochromatic look without some statement jewelry!

Sometimes color just isn't on the menu. I wanted a simply comfortable look and that's what I got. I love color and bright fun pieces, but adversely I love monochromatic looks too. It can seem even more difficult sometimes to rock a black and white look. This striped jacket always feels like a prison look to me, but hey who knows. The prison look may be in, in light of Orange is the New Black! 

Happy Monday!
