Jeans: Old Navy – Sweater: Old Navy – Shoes: Shoedazzle – Bag: Coach

 

I can’t believe it had been four months since I last shot some Look of the Day photos!! But that dry spell is finally over as I bring you here today some photos we shot this past weekend. Let me tell ya, even though I’ve never really gotten good at this whole posing for the camera thing, I felt more awkward than ever shooting these photos. Honestly, ever since I started blogging my outfits, I have a new found respect for models and their work, and of course every other fashion blogger out there…They make it look so darn easy! I don’t think I’ll ever be good at this, let alone a natural in front of the camera, and I certainly doubt “practice makes perfect” will apply in this case, but I do hope practice makes me fairly decent some day…and maybe, just maybe even make the whole process more enjoyable.

Anyway, ever since discovering that the right cut and stretch in skinny jeans can work for my body type, I had been searching for colorful options to add to my closet, and finally I succeeded in finding a pair… or two (you’ll have to stay tuned to find out which other fun color I got, on a future Look of the Day). Of course, just as my black skinnys, this lovely electric blue pair (as well as my mystery color pair) I scored on sale at Old Navy. Seriously, thank you Old Navy from the bottom of my heart for not forgetting about us hippy girls.

This light-weight sweater was another find at the same store, and unfortunately for you guys the online sale is not as good as the in-store sale because I scored this baby for $5 if you can believe it. I love lucky $5 finds!

Now that I think about it, I scored every single item in this outfit on sale. Except for the Coach bag, which I borrowed but was also found on sale by its rightful owner, just fyi.

Well, gotta run now darlings, but thank you for stopping by my little corner. Have a lovely day.

P.S. I’m obsessed with dark lipstick!!! What do you think? Too goth?

Look of the Day: Better Late Than Never

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 5+ years, you are probably well aware that skinny jeans have been the “it” jeans for many seasons now. And in case you haven’t noticed (or if you are a new reader, in which case welcome!), I have never worn skinny jeans here on the blog… or anywhere else for that matter. Skinny jeans had been another item on my list of “not flattering on me, avoid at all cost”… until now!!

I cannot express to you my excitement over having found a pair of skinny jeans that actually fits me well. I had previously given this cut a chance a couple of times before, but they looked awful on me, and so I (wrongly) assumed all skinny jeans were created equal and swore to never wear them. Being a fashion lover and self-proclaimed expert, you’d think I would’ve known better, yet I still made the classic mistake of judging without giving it a real good try. Nevertheless, this is one time I’m happy to admit I was wrong, and I have Old Navy to thank for proving it to me.  Their sweetheart skinny jeans are perfectly cut for my body type (smaller waist, fuller thigh) with just the right amount of stretch… I’m telling you, they are brilliant! As an added bonus, they are very reasonably priced at $30 and under, so they are pretty much heaven sent.

Despite the fact that skinny jeans have reigned long enough that we’ll probably start seeing other cuts start making a comeback soon, I am glad to be jumping on board this long lived trend, because you know what they say, better late than never!

Now, what about you? Do you have your own list of “won’t be caught dead wearing…”? What clothing items have you sworn never to wear? Maybe it’s time you reconsider a few of those!!

Spring is just around the corner, and though most fashionistas out there can’t wait to start rocking their spring/summer ensembles, I on the other hand am a little bit bummed about not getting that much of a chance to wear my coats and boots. Winters might get colder than you’d think in the desert, but they are very short lived.
And speaking of boots, I’ve had this pair for 7 years and have worn them every single winter. I can even get a little melancholic when thinking about items that have been staples in my wardrobe for years, and to think of all the moments in my life they’ve been a part of.
Anyway, this outfit is very much me. In fact, you could even call it my “uniform”. No matter what season, you’ll very often find me in this kind of skirt with a simple top and a major necklace. Just add weather appropriate footwear (boots, sandals, heels), a belt if I want to look more put-together, and that’s it. Comfortable, flattering and easy…doesn’t get any better than that.
Now tell me, do you have a personal style “uniform”? What is it? Please share!

La primavera ya está a la vuelta de la esquina, y aunque la mayoría de las fashionistas allá afuera no pueden esperar para empezar a lucir sus mejores atuendos de esta temporada, yo por mi parte no estoy tan contenta de tener tan poca oportunidad de usar mis abrigos y botas. El invierno en el desierto podrá ser más frío de lo que imaginan, pero es muy corto.
Y hablando de botas, este par lo tengo hace 7 años, y las he utilizado cada invierno. Hasta me puedo poner un poco melancólica pensando en las cosas que se han sido parte de mi guardarropa por años, y de pensar en todos los momentos de mi vida en que me han acompañado.
En fin, este outfit es muy yo. De hecho hasta podría decirse que es mi “uniforme”. Sin importar la temporada, muy seguido me pueden encontrar vistiendo una falda de este tipo con una playera sencilla, y un gran collar. Sólo agreguen calzado de acuerdo al clima (botas, sandalias, tacones), un cinturón si quiero verme más arreglada, y listo. Cómodo, halagador y fácil…nada mejor que eso.
Ahora ustedes, tienen algún “uniforme” de su estilo personal? Cuál? Cuéntenme!
