Color Blocked

Does any one have a legit shopping problem? I definitely do. I have absolutely no self control. It really doesn't help that I work in a retail store where new clothes come in almost everyday! It's pure torture. I'm at that point where I have to start paying back my student loans and I want to pay them back as quickly as possible. I really have to put a stop to my shopping and you don't understand how hard that will be for me. 

To help myself, I want to get back to thrifting. Buying everything second hand. I use to do that when I was in college when I barely had any money at all. If I live in my college student budget I can definitely put a dent in student loans.. 

Now about what I'm wearing! Cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors to wear as well as olive green. So you know I'm loving this outfit! I'm so glad the warm weather is finally trying to make it's way through the cold because I couldn't wait to get back into my skirts and crop tops.

I'm wearing an H&M croptop, Amiclubwear skirt, H&M divived black chunky sandals, Amiclubwear necklace, and Forever 21 pink bag. 

Until next time...

Cheetah Print Tracks

I've been feeling a little uninspired by fashion lately. I've been feeling like my style has become so generic for a while. I'm actually positive that it has. When I first began my blog, I was a sophomore in college. I had no money, so I went thrift store shopping. That's all my wardrobe consisted of for like 2 years. So my style was very unique and truly my own. I've actually started to look back at my old photos to get inspiration from myself. Now, that I started working in retail it's really hard for me not to be trendy. Especially working at a store like H&M. The company specifically goes after every trend each season. Since I spend most of my life there, I shop it! 

I'm trying to get back to my old self. Stop shopping for one, and gain my style back. I wear so many different styles when I actually think true style is having a style that is YOU and all your own. For example, Solange Knowles. She has a style that she can be identified as, that's all her own. She loves prints and color, everyone knows that. I want to regain that. At one point I had a style all my own. Even when mixing in trends, I always stayed very true to myself. 

This outfit is a good way to get back on that track. I usually only photograph my outfits when I'm in heels. In reality, I hardly wear heels anymore because I work so much. 

I'm loving this outfit because I'm wearing my favorite print, cheetah, from H&M. Along with an orange skirt c/o amiclubwear, and my new go to chunky sandals from H&M Divided Black. 

Until next time...

Pastel Peplum

Oh yes, it's warming up a tad bit! Only a TAD! All of March will still be pretty cold here in D.C., cold but not freezing. I can definitely deal with that. The outfit below will be paired with a long coat and I'm good to go.

I should honestly be a spokes model for H&M. Every outfit I wear is head to toe H&M for the most part. This outfit is no exception. I've been really into the color pink lately. Pastel pink to be specific. I'm just now discovering how freaking fabulous it looks against my skin tone! So, I couldn't wait to bust out this peplum top from H&M trend. I paired it with a dark color to purposely make it stand out. It's such a beauty! 

Another love of mine is this fabulous bracelet wrap watch from Winky Designs. It's so absolutely stunning. I love that it comes layered! The chains and semi-precious stones really give it that wow factor. It looks so good dressed up or down. I love pairing it with a t-shirt and boyfriend jeans. They have an entire collection of these called Sweet Dreams. I'm wearing the Tiramisu watch. They have others like Mint Choc Chip, which I love, and Red Velvet. 

If you must get your hands on one, I can do you a big fave and give you this 10% discount code: FURBANANAS14. This will expire March 17th at midnight and it's off any item! Enjoy!! 

Until next time...

Colorful Winter | Sammy Dress

We finally had a warm day in D.C. and I decided to take full advantage of it. There's actually still snow on the ground from our recently passed snow storm but the warmth is still here. I'm so desperate for the spring that I went all out with this outfit. Winter days can be so grey and gloomy, so I decided to brighten this gloomy day up with all this color!

I'm wearing my H&M pink foam skirt again with this amazing rainbow print cardigan that I received from sammydress.com. I'm so in love with all the possibilities this cardigan has. With all the colors, I can think of a hundred ways to style it. It also makes it really easy to be fun, bold, and cute! I've already found two more things in my closet I would love to style it with. I paired it with a colorful necklace, also from sammydress.com, to bring the look together. I'll also be incorporating bold jewelry into my wardrobe. At the moment I like simple and dainty. I decided this spring that I really want to go bold with loud prints and color. No better time to start than the present. 

Get my rainbow print cardigan here and my colorful bird necklace here. Shoes are from Urbanog.com, white linen top from H&M, and jean jacket from H&M men. 

Until next time..

Cozy

I love being dressed in oversize clothing. It's the most comfortable and chic look to me. It's also very easy to layer in the winter. I have on a full body suit underneath to stop the harsh winds. It is indeed cold, very cold. That's why I love this grey cardigan that I'm wearing. It's a mohair blend, so I wear it under all of my coats. I have one in black as well. The best thing about it is that this was a seventy dollar cardigan from H&M trend and I got it for seven dollars! That's how good H&M sales are!! I haven't parted ways with it since. 

How will I ever survive New York's winter? Because I am definitely over it in DC! 

I'm wearing a forever 21 plaid shirt that I absolutely adore, H&M Divided Men olive green pants, H&M Trend cardigan and H&M ankle boots. Ruby woo on my lips.

Until next time...
