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?

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?

OOTD #7 – Pretty in Pink, Gorgeous in Green

April 24, 2013 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

Hello pretty ones,

I had an Absolutely, Kaptivating, Awesome, AKA, get it, week and weekend in Charleston, SC with my sorority sisters for our 60th South Atlantic Regional Conference. I blogged about my illustrious sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated here. This was my favorite outfit of the week(pic heavy post).

The Details:
Tunic (Dillard’s) – here
Jeans (Eloquii) – here
Wedges (Old) – here
Earrings/Necklace (Bella Ruche Boutique) – here

Y’all know I’m obsessed with tunics! This one is nicely shaped, in a drapey(is that a real word?)fabric that hugs the curves without clinging. And, you can’t go wrong with skinnies and wedges, my favorite shoe since I’m a 5 foot munchkin.

Charleston is an absolutely beautiful city with Southern American, English, French, and West African influences, steeped in history. The food was delicious and the shopping was perfect. I’ll definitely be going back to this charming seaside gem. Some of my fave photos!
