Black and White and Ruby OOTD

April 9, 2015

To tuck or not to tuck..
I’ve always been undecided about tucking my tops in to my pants, mostly because I feel it can be unflattering on the wearer. After seeing an infinite number of pictures on my favorite blogs and Pinterest that depicted the act, I thought I would finally try it out! I feel that it does make me look a little bit shorter in the torso, but it’s kind of fun and adds some dimension to a look. Which do you prefer?

A Long Week of OOTDs

January 23, 2015

A couple of things I’ve noticed after uploading this series of outfit-of-the-days.. First, I’ve really been enjoying my hair in a bun! I think it looks chicer, generally, than a ponytail, and I have just NOT been liking the feeling of hair on my neck. Also, I’ve been trying to mix it up a bit with my work wardrobe. I typically wear just black or grey pants and a nicer top. Recently, I’ve found myself throwing on a skirt or dress and running with it!

This weekend, I’m headed to LA to explore the California Gift Show and LA Mart, and hopefully pick up some new pretty things. I’m excited to see one of my favorite jewelry designers, Kyle Chan from Kyle Chan Designs! I always end up picking up a piece or two from his gorgeous collection. This time around, I’m thinking about this necklace or this bracelet…. Which do you think I should go for? Or both!? 😀

A Week of OOTDs

November 13, 2014

I haven’t had as much time as I’d like this past week to take detail shots of my outfits, but I did manage to grab some quick snaps of the overall looks. My favorite was definitely the first, which I wore to my birthday brunch. Casual, comfortable, but still pulled together, and topped off with a sock bun, of course!

Beaded Blush Top and Beige Skirt

October 10, 2014

Don’t get me wrong, I love sheer, flowy maxi skirts… One thing I can’t get behind, though, is the tiny little barely butt-cheek grazing mini skirts that are usually attached to them. My solution? Cut out the offending part of the skirt and wear a midi-length nude slip underneath it! Coverage, while still allowing the skirt to flow.

For this look, I wanted to mostly keep it to pale shades of beige, blush and nude with some metallic pops of gold and pink. I LOVE this clutch… It’s feminine but a tiny bit edgy in metallic leather.

I love these flats, but even after multiple uses, they still eat up my ankles! A little moleskin on the inside lip helps a bit.
