Thrifted Gear

I'm not a huge thrifter, but I like to thrift here and again. If you go often enough you can truly find some jewels. So when I was charged to wear some variation of pink, red, white, and black to sing in the choir on Sunday I dusted off some of my thrifted pieces that I obtained from Goodwill to create a polished look. I know what you're thinking that's not just pink or red. But rules are meant to be broken ;)

THE MULTI -COLORED JACKET
Like I mentioned before I got my jacket and skirt through thrifting. I put this outfit together by toning down my undershirt to let the jacket do the talking. The jacket is a little big (think boyfriend blazer), so I grabbed a belt to cinch the waist. I grabbed my favorite platform heels and my black clutch to finish off the look.

Outfit Details: Blazer (Goodwill), Skirt (Goodwill), Long - Sleeve Black Shirt (Walmart), Platforms (Forever 21), Rope converted into Belt (Walmart), Clutch (Forever 21), Sunnies (Aldo)

My advice to you...if you've never checked out a thrift store DEFINITELY do so! It's amazing what you can find in there. Happy thrifting and happy hump day :)

His Pants, Her Swag - Day vs. Night

Last Thursday, I was getting up to run some errands and I had no clue what to wear. As I was looking through my rack of clothes I ran across my husband's side of the closet and grabbed his khaki cargo pants. I tried them on, and to my surprise they fit really cute. So that was the foundation of my outfit.

HIS PANTS, HER SWAG - DAY
I took my husbands cargo pants, a leather tee, denim jacket with J's on my feet *in my Miley Cyrus voice* and rocked my signature bold red lip to run some errands. That night my husband and I attended a marriage "Date Night" at our church. We learned quite a bit to help keep the fire in our marriage. I exchanged the J's for my cute platforms, and added a blazer to pull the look from day to night!

NIGHT

All I had to do was  change a couple items and wallah, I had a perfect "date night" outfit.

Outfit Details: DAY - Men's Cargo Pants (Rocawear Outlet), Leather Tee (Off the Fifth), Denim Jacket (Forever 21), J's (Foot Locker) NIGHT - Men's Cargo Pants (Rocawear Outlet), Leather Tee (Off the Fifth), Platforms (Forever 21), Blazer (H&M)

Happy Monday Lovelies! Make it a productive day :)

These Boots Were Made for Walking

The last time I was home, my aunt showered me with some pretty awesome gifts. On the extensive list were these awesome rustic, lace - up, over the knee boots. When I saw the boots, I fell in love. Not only are do they have a unique color, and chic style; they are also super comfortable! So I knew I wanted to put them into rotation. I was able to do so this past Sunday. Want to see the entire look? Check below!

THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING
We've had some pretty bipolar weather here in GA as of late. From snow/ice, to rain, to complete sunshine, the weather channel is your best friend. Sunday, it was a little cool so I decided to throw on my fav faux fur vest, a black thrifted pencil skirt, my oxblood button up, and these awesome boots.

Outfit Details: Faux Fur Vest (Forever 21), Oxblood Button Up (Forever 21), Thrifted Pencil Skirt (Goodwill), Rustic Lace Up Boots (Gifted), Wet & Wild Lipstick (CVS), MK Watch (Macy's)

Pretty in a Pink Blazer

Hey there beautiful people. I hope you had an awesome Valentine's Day/All - Star Weekend :) I know I did! Me and the hubby went to an early Valentine's Day dinner on Friday, and chilled the rest of the evening watching the NBA All - Star festivities. It was cool to kick it with the Mr., we always have a bunch of laughs!!! Since we had a pretty chill dinner, I didn't want to get "overdressed." As I was perusing Polyvore to get some inspiration, I ran across this look and thought it would be the perfect Valentine's Day dinner outfit. Who doesn't love a pink blazer?

MY INSPIRATION
Here's the look I ran across. Gorg right?

Karolina Kurkova Model Off Duty....NYFW by lisamichele-cdxci featuring Chanel

MY TAKE OF THE LOOK

This look is casual yet bold with the hot pink blazer. I knew I had the perfect pink blazer in the closet , that would make the awesome base for this outfit. I paired it with my black "A" sweatshirt, a collared white button up, some distressed jeans, my lace - up booties, and a statement necklace. The outfit came together wonderfully. I love how the pink blazer pops. It gives the outfit an unexpected element.

BONUS

Me and the hubster all smiles!

Outfit Details: Blazer (H&M), "A" Sweatshirt (Forever 21), White Button Up (Old Navy), Distressed Jeans (TJ Maxx), Lace Up Booties (Charlotte Russe), Statement Necklace (Charlotte Russe), Sunnies (H&M), Lip Color (M.A.C - Heroine).  

I hope you all have a great start to your week! *Happy Monday*
