Compare and Contrast

I believe I have posted on this topic before but I've recently noticed how much my style can change from day to day, depending on my mood. I like variety, therefore I like to wear all black one day, then bright pops of color the next. This way of dressing keeps everyone on their toes and keeps me looking forward to tomorrow because with a new day there comes a new outfit.

Dress to Impress...Yourself

I have this problem: I'm horrible at dressing casual. I can absolutely dress up during the week, but when it comes to the weekend my mind draws a blank. I always want to look good of course, but for some reason I have this weird obstacle in my way on the weekends; I don't want to assemble a nice outfit and then have no one see it because my plans didn't turn out how I expected. Therefore often times I dress very down and end up feeling awful in my outfit. There needs to be a happy middle ground. However, also, I personally need to let go of the fear of "wasting an outfit", it doesn't matter who sees me and who appreciated what I wore, I need to remember to dress for myself, to make me feel confident when I walk out the door.

Going Out with a Bang, Goodbye 2011!

Happy New Year! I spent this past New Year's Eve with some of my lovely friends and we went all out, dressed to impress. This was my outfit: Urban Outfitters sequined jacket, LF cropped shirt, leather Alexander Wang shorts, black tights, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, and silver Jewelmint earrings. I also painted my nails neon orange because I wanted to add an unexpected pop of color (close up photo features silver bangles, and silver Forever 21 ring). Here's to a great 2012!
