White Maxi, Black Blazer

Hola Senoritas! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Mine was pretty chill. I took out my box braids, did some homework, cleaned up the house, went to the movies to see "The Equalizer" (which was great by the way...Denzel did his thing), went to church, and watched some football. You know nothing too out of the ordinary. My apologies for missing our 6th installment of the "Black and White" series on Friday. I had a lot going on last week. Time just got away from me. So I promise I will not falter on my end of the bargain. You will be getting 1 more black and white ensemble after today's post to complete a seven day series of black and white looks. 

Today's look is a simple lily white floor - length maxi dress with a structured black blazer on top. This is the perfect look to try transitioning from summer to fall. Ali's Fashion Sense Tip: For a smooth summer - to - fall - transition grab a maxi dress and pair it with a blazer or cardigan. It's a great look for church or even a night out. You can wear sandals (if it's not too cold out yet), booties, or even flats. It's all up to you. 

Outfit Details: White Maxi (New York & Co.), Blazer (H&M), Clutch (Target), Platforms (Dillard's), Necklace (Macy's), Sunnies (Forever 21)

This look is super comfy, yet pulled together with a few simple garments. Maxi - check. Blazer - check. Neutral accessories - check. And there you have it. Installment 6 of the "Black & White" series. Check me out on Wednesday for the final installment. I'm going to throw in a twist. I hope you have a marvelous Monday!!!!

Concert Ideas for Beyonce & Jay - Z's On The Run Tour

So on Tuesday the hubby and I are going up to the ATL to attend this summer's most anticipated concert: Beyonce & Jay-Z's On The Run Tour. This is my first time seeing Beyonce live, so I know I will be in for a treat (I actually saw Jigga about 2 years ago and he was amazing). I've heard so many great reviews about the concert, so I'm excited the day is actually near. 

But with all great occassions there's always that burning question? What should I wear? Since I heard the concert was 3 hours of nonstop standing, dancing, partying, and an ultimate good time...the main thing I've heard is to NOT wear heels...unless you have feet made of armor (not me said the cat). With that being said if you are one of the lucky fans/stans hitting up the On The Run Tour in the next few weeks but have no idea what to wear don't you fret. I've put together three concert outfit alternatives that all involve flats so you can enjoy the concert fully without having to be bothered by your toes cramping in your cute pumps! Don't worry, I promise you will still look fly :)

TOMBOY CHIC
This rugged look is definitely tomboy chic. With a touch of animal print to help accentuate your girly side, and some blinged out accessories you are sure to be #Flawless in this simple, chic getup.

EDGY GLAM
This edgy glam look is perfect to rock out to your favorite tunes of Jay - Z & Beyonce. The soft tulle skirt with the tough metal accessories, and leather blazer make for a perfect play on pretty and punk. The bold red lip will be the perfect finishing touch as you belt out the tunes to Queen Bey - #Surfboard!

BOHO POP PRINCESS
This delicate look is a breath of fresh air. The neutral color pallet in the soft textured fabrics allow you to channel your inner Coachella boho pop princess. The floral accents (headband and clutch) along with the gold accessories finish out the look in a strong way. Add an unexpected element like a body chain to bring the outfit to new heights. #GrownWoman

Hopefully this post will give you some ideas for what to wear to the On The Run Tour. If you're not going, don't worry you can always use these looks for every day inspiration or for future concerts. I will be sure to give you all a play by play about the concert after I attend on Tuesday! Happy Monday luvs!
