Baby, It's cold outside!!

While I a was tempted to roll out the bed and throw every layer of clothing that I have in my closet on, I decided that the Michelin Man look was not so flattering.... Ladies it's time to layer, but don't get me wrong we still have to look fly! Here I took two of my fave skirts the school girl-frayed grey (wet seal) and my black bubble mini (express) and layered them for tiered effect. I took a 3/4 length shirt, this sleeve length flatters pretty much anyone btw (by glee from macys) and layered over a mustard yellow vest (a present to me). Add a a page-boi style grey cap (mall kiosk) and a grey scarf that complements my shirt and skirt and we are almost there!!! Now, I know, you know, that I am not leaving the house in this weather, in a skirt, without stockings!!! Gray opaque stockings and knee high red socks topped off with black scrunchie boots (kmart) keep me warm! This is layering! Fashion that is functional! I love it! Warm and Cute do not have to be disjointed sets! So stay warm and hot this week because well Baby it's cold outside!!!

This look is not just for the thin...

I have recently envied when turning through the pages of Victoria Secret, the model in the belly bearing bustier. Since there is no way in God's green earth I will be showing my belly anytime soon. I had to do some quick thinking...Wearing a bustier is...well sexy...I always like to play with something that is meant to be one thing and contrast it with a complimentary or conflicting piece. In this outfit I took a sexy floral bustier (macys) and layered it over a  tough razor-back black tank (Vickys). I have a billed knit hat I scored from Kmart. I love to add a pop of color so I buckled a red belt on the thinnest part of me to enhance my curves and added red feather earrings (wet seal). I completed the look with skinny jeans (wet seal) and knee high boots (Steve Madden from Nordys). I look sexy, approachable and no one's running screaming because I didn't have to let Kujo (my belly) out!!!

This can be disastrous

    Or total genius. Mixing prints is very scary to take on but it comes out so beautiful and a little whimsical1!! I've attempted many different mix prints fits (outfits) and usually come out triumphant. In my opinion this trend is here to stay. This ensemble has a a plaid pattern fedora (kmart) with a silver buckle on the side...The top is meant to be a little over sized but not baggy. It has silver studs on the shoulders which i love (macys)!I chose this shirt because I wanted to wear a short, tight, animal-print skirt without looking like i was getting ready to stand out on Sprague.  I wore leggings with the gray cheetah print skirt that hails from Wet seal  to help stave off any signals that i might be for sale...
     I have a middle...don't worry I'm working on it...so the skirt draws the eye down...The scarf is purple cheetah  (kmart) it is so fun and funky. And since i know you don't know me all that well yet, I will tell you I love shoes!!! It's an obsession of mine and one that I dont plan on trying to curb. :) Those bad boys with the buckles that mimics the ones on my hat are from Shoe Dazzle. Shoe of the month clubs are a tangent that I will go off on in a later blog...The resulting outfit is one that says I am fun, tough, and ready to play...

Spring is all over the tip

of my tongue. I am so tired of the cold weather! Seriously! The one thing I dont think that any one can afford to be without this coming Spring is a trenchcoat!!! Neutrals are a srtong trend this season, but really a neutral trench is a classic piece that you are going to get so much use out of! This hits on some of my main style mantras.

Here are my three main mantras. 1.) If you can't turn a trend into a staple piece fufill the trend with smaller, low cost accessories. 2.) Know what your uniform is 3.) You can always look fabulous and you don't have to take out a second mortgage or sell your first born

Back to the trench...I myself am loving the ones that hit about three inches above the knee and are a little more taliored (almost a dress in and of themselves). Now the challenge is for me to find one that O can afford and trust me that isn't very much... I am allotting a $$$ because you will be able to reuse this piece for years with the proper care...Lucky for me and those like me who are truly broke I found this one for under forty !!!
