White Blazer + Patterned Romper

A couple weeks ago I showed you how I paired my floral blazer with a pink blazer. You can see it here. I expressed to you in that blog post how much I love rompers, jumpsuits, playsuits (whatever you want to call them). They are simply the easiest way to look chic and pulled together. I figured since the floral romper + the pink blazer was such a hit why fix what's  not broken? I reused the same formula of using the romper as a foundation and wearing a blazer on top. Thats the thing about fashion. Remember the K.I.S.S method..."Keep it simple sweetheart!" Fashion doesn't have to be fussy. A simple combo like a romper and a blazer.

This patterned romper or any romper for that matter is a great essential to have in your closet as Summer dwindles down to its last days. Once the colder months hit you can always find jumpsuits (with long sleeves and pants versus shorts). I'm sure I will feature one or a couple in the upcoming months. Just stay tuned.

Happy Hump Day,

Double Up

TGIF! It is Friday and the start of a new weekend. I don't really have too much planned but why not kick off the weekend doubling up on color and fun! Fuchsia and orange seem like an unlikely pair but I was able to create a fun look centered around a romper with these bright bold colors that I scored from Target. Check out the full look below.

Outfit Details: Jumper (Target), Sandals (Charlotte Russe), Necklace (Charlotte Russe), Blazer (Forever 21), Sunglasses (Forever 21), Bracelet (Forever 21)

You want to know a secret about this outfit? Everything I have on is at least 4 years old or older. Who says you can't look fly in "old threads?" All you have to do is learn how to reglam, remix, and revamp items in your closet and you can have a whole new outlook on your wardrobe. Like I always say, get in your closet and explore the endless possibilities.

TGIF luvs,
