OOTD #31- Stripes!

The Details:
Top (Target) – here
Pants(old) – similar here
Boots(old) – similar here
Jewelry – old, very old

Hi Pretties,
This OOTD was inspired by a recent “Pretty Perspective” on the robincharmagne Facebook page. On the Facebook cover page, I post a new handy dandy fashion tidbit each week. Last week, stripes were in the spotlight. For years, stripes were considered a fashion don’t for plus size women, but I think done correctly stripes work well for any body type. This stripe is wide and runs horizontally which makes the body appear leaner. The v-neck narrows the overall silhouette. The pants are a skinny ponte knit, a very wearable fabric. And the dark solid again makes for a slimmer overall silhouette. Of course boots are still on trend this year. This is a slouchy pair in a suede with the perfect heel height. I can wear these all day and my feet will still love me. And, the jewelry is old. Yes, statement necklaces are all the rage but sometimes with a stronger print such as stripes, simpler is better. I’ll probably re-run this outfit Thanksgiving day!

Do you wear stripes?

OOTD #30 – Chill Mode

Skinnies (Eloquii) – similar here

Jewelry – various personal faves

Hey Pretties,
It is C-O-L-D in the A today, I mean like 30’s. So, I am in chill mode. When the temp drops and that wind starts howling, I really prefer to stay in and chillax in front of the tv watching a classic movie like Imitation of Life or Mildred Pierce, sipping on a hot cup of peppermint tea or chai latte. I need a chill mode outfit for these days and today’s OOTD is just the ticket – sweatshirt, skinnies, and kicks. That’s easy right!

The sweatshirt with faux leather accents at the arms and neck was a steal from Marshalls at $19.98. A good pair of skinnies go with everything and are just right for lounging, especially these with a touch of spandex. I’m not a sneaker chick at all but these patent leather sneakers from Coach have more ath-leisure look and I love the ribbon laces, very cool.

One of the most fun aspects of blogging is blogger giveaways. The necklace is a special piece I won in a giveaway sponsored by the lovely shopfreak. It’s from Charmedseed Jewelry and each piece is handmade, cut, letter-stamped, and distressed individually. And totally personalized, you can choose any word or phrase. I chose “powerful” because as women sometimes I think we forget just how powerful we are in this world. The other jewelry is some of my favorite more casual chill pieces like the rubber bracelet from Marc Jacobs, on sale now for $20 bucks – great stocking stuffer!

What’s your chill mode outfit?

Boom! Pow! Wow!

The Details
Here!

Hey pretties,
Almost the weekend, you know I had to tell ya’! I just love this trend. It is so fun and quirky! It’s based on campy television shows like the old Batman and Robin series where POW or BOOM popped up on the screen in those ridiculously scripted fight scenes. Yeah I know, some of you are too young to remember…LOL! I would definitely wear this trend with of course my favorite, boyfriend jeans and maybe add a biker jacket to make it more edgy. And remember you can always dip your toe in a new trend by wearing just hints of it, such as the ring or the socks.

Remember I told y’all about the wildly popular and successful 3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target. The boom sweatshirt was one of the most popular items, guess what…wait for it… it’s $20.98, Boom! It’s totally OK to have something unexpected in your wardrobe.

Do you have something fun in your closet?

Boots(old)- similar here
Handbag (T.J. Maxx) – similar here

Hey Pretties,
I should have titled this post blurred lines, it’s a bit blurry, bear with me. Like many ladies, I lean toward black a lot in my wardrobe. But this blue sweater called out to me. Love the v-neck and high/low hem, perfect for layering. Adding color can be scary but in small doses adds some spice to an outfit. The blue in this sweater is Mykonos Blue a Pantone Fall Color. Pantone is the organization that selects the color of the year for not only fashion, but across all industries.

Pantone describes this color as “…a bold, meditative blue, for a classic and relaxed fall look.” Describes this layered black and blue fall look perfectly.

Hello Pretties,
Camouflage is one of my favorite fashion trends. The military began using camouflage as military attire in the early 1900’s. Not just for the outdoorsy crowd, you can find camouflage all over the place in different colors and in unexpected styles. I made this outfit a little more sexy I’ll say by adding the top with the sheer neckline and arms. Now lovelies, wearing head to toe camo will definitely put you in the hunter girl or military maven category but adding it as an accent in a scarf, a top, or cute shoes is a subtle way to wear the camouflage trend.

What fashion trend are you trying this fall season?

Hello pretties,
I’m trying out a comfy, casual fall fashion trend – the embellished sweatshirt. I’m talking rhinestones, studs, and sequins. I love sparkly bling of any kind and wearing it on a sweatshirt is right up my alley. I was so stoked to find the one I’m wearing at Old Navy for $20 bucks! It’s the perfect day/night option which can be paired with boyfriend jeans for day or a cute leather skater skirt for night.

Check out the lovely Jess at Jess Style Rules rocking another sparkly sweatshirt from Old Navy and these sparkly gems from ASOS.

These are not your old ratty gym sweatshirts. If you’re looking for a more creative and affordable option, try a DIY. This would be an easy project, some inspiration here, here, here. I blogged about Wander and Hunt website where you can purchase complete rhinestone kits. Hmmm, I think I’m feeling inspired too, more to come on the blog. You can wear it solo or layer with a chambray shirt or turtleneck. Sweatshirts are pretty and practical and a good summer to fall transition piece too!

Have you tried the embellished sweatshirt trend?

Breast Cancer 2013a

Hi Pretties,
It’s the first day of October and of course the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I was going to post some sobering statistics about breast cancer and saving the tatas, but instead here are two important facts, early detection is key as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle. That’s all the preaching I’m doing today. Since Pink is the signature color to show your support of the efforts to save the tatas, I curated some Pink goodies just for you.

The details:
Stud earrings//Rain boots//Makeup Brush set//Cool Satchel//Aromatic Candles//Turnlock Bracelet//Perfect Nail polish//Hightop Sneakers

A percentage(whole or in part) of the proceeds from some of these items may go to a breast cancer organization. But if you like, you make a direct donation here and here.

Self exams, mammos, manage stress, diet, and exercise, let’s work to save the tatas. Take care lovelies!!
