Easy Does It…

On Fridays I usually try to incorporate a casual look because most of us are either relax, go grab drinks or can better dress emotionally since we feel so relieved. That being said, I am not relieved that it’s Friday but I’m ready to grab drinks AND relax lol. The downside is that it’s quite cold here (not even 50 degrees) and I’m ready to burst out into color like song lol. I have looks planned out for at least 3 weeks in advance at all times because I’m always creating ideas in my head but I was starting a transition of winter to spring wardrobe. What’s a girl to do? 

Well when life happens, we make the best of it. So I mixed spring and fall wardrobe to create an easy look. I know we’re all ready to hang so I’ll be brief. I needed that “pop of color” so I decided on an all black ensemble with a bright turquoise flare tank. Under the tank I’m wearing an off the shoulder body suit. I know, you couldn’t really see the bodysuit. No worries, you’ll be seeing it in a couple of weeks, (insert winking emoji). My pants are ankle pants. Although considered more of a fall or winter color, the ankle length aspect nibbles at the appeal of spring. I opted for my leopard print Zara booties. They accent my tank AND the black quite nicely, creating balance and cohesion. Being that leopard can be used as a neutral, it doesn’t take away from the boldness of the tank. It actually helps the color to pop. My choker and earrings are easy and simple. That’s the essence of the entire look. How do you dress when you’re trying to be simple but still stylish? 

Happy Friday Cupcakes!!!

My First Zara Experience…Going Tribal

I decided to check out Zara online since I’m nowhere near a physical store. I’ve heard about Zara for a couple years now and I finally broke down to experience the hype. So feeling like I entered a new realm of shopping lol, I checked out all that Zara had to offer. There were a few things that caught my eye but one thing in particular stopped me in my shopping tracks. I found a tribal necklace. It was on clearance which made the necklace even more attractive. I purchased the necklace and received it literally two days later. The necklace is very pretty, unique and carries an authenticity to it that is so non-trendy even though the tribal trend is strong nowadays. I was a little disappointed as it came a bit “broken”, nothing that couldn’t be fixed. The point is that I wanted to get an expensive vibe from Zara but I feel like it’s similar to shopping at Macy’s junior department. No shade. I still will shop at Zara and Macy’s in the future, lol. Please check out the pics below and leave input to let me know if you think the necklace has THAT appeal. [slideshow]
