POLISHED ONYX

Happy Thursday!

I know what ya’ll are thinking. “Shorts in winter time? Have you lost your mind?!” As I mentioned in my previous post, the weather in NYC has been a bit crazy. I took advantage of one of the warmer days to wear these leather bermuda shorts.

I figured it was the perfect time to wear these shorts. To be completely honest, I do not wear these in the summer time— the lining on them is pretty thick and I would just melt away lol. They are bermuda shorts so they are passed my knees. I decided to pair them with high boots to create a more extended outline around my legs.

Those who know, know how much I love turtle necks and extended neck tops. Apart from being warm, they are a perfect layering pieces.

SLEEVELESS TRENCH

Hi!

The weather in New York has been all over the place, honestly. Mama nature (global warming) is not playing with us.
Ya’ll know i’m a big fan of a classic trench coat- it’s a staple piece in my opinion. I purchased this sleeveless trench for a shoot and ended up not using it, and kept it for myself haha! I love it because it allows for interesting layering. It is perfect for the weather we’ve been having lately where you don’t necessarily need a full coat but need to stay warm, that’s where the laying comes in. It’s comfy and easy to combine.

Happy Monday ya’ll!

Now that I am focusing on minimizing my wardrobe and creating somewhat of a capsule wardrobe for myself— I have been on the hunt for some classic high quality staple pieces. A few months ago, I was looking for a black blazer and scored this Givenchy tux blazer at a thrift store for the low low! (LOL)

Adding a blazer can change and elevate any look. You can take a pair of jeans to the next level by adding a blazer, like I did with this look. I paired this blazer with these vintage Tommy Hilfiger jeans and my favorite boots at the moment. To complete the look I added a vintage Gucci bum bag waist fanny pack to add some definition to my waist and add a bit of contrast to the black.

BLACK BOY IN A BLACK SUIT

Happy Monday beloveds!

I love styling pieces that don’t go together but that do go together (if that makes sense) lol. On my search for a black blazer, I came across this vintage Givenchy tuxedo jacket and I had to have it! I paired it with these wide leg pants from H&M and honestly, it was the perfect match. I love the silhouette of this outfit.

One Outfit, Two Ways

One thing I love is being able to use one piece multiple different ways- but being able to style 2 outfits out of one is so fun to me. I love that I can be creative but also, it contributes to a more minimal and sustainable wardrobe (something I am trying to do.)
