Boyfriend Jeans & White Pumps
This has been a week of sorts and boy am I happy it's Friday. Took out my new white pumps out for a spin today. I don't think I've owned a pair of white shoes since I was a kid and the tedious moments spent keeping my church shoes white with the help of some white shoe griffin nonetheless (I KNOW I'm not the only one out there who used white shoe griffin?!).
In the spirit of Casual Friday, I opted for jeans, which I never wear, but in a semi-boyfriend style. Threw on a white blazer and silver top with accessories and I was good to go. Makeup was basic with lashes, neutral eye and my trusty Ruby Woo (speaking of which, please tell me I wasn't the only one on an hour or so wait for that RiriWoo Yesterday? Never again)
Special thanks to BklynMuse for the pics.

Dinner Sophistication
Before I begin this fashion post, thank you everyone for all your birthday wishes via IG, Twitter and FB. Truly means a lot. I appreciate everyone of you!!
As I mentioned on a previous post, I recent discovered Kohl's (a department store similar to JcPenny, TJMaxx, etc) and I gotta tell ya, I'm beyond ecstatic that I did. Like Target, Kohl's hosts special edition limited time designer launches and houses several designer lines from Vera Wang, Jennifer Lopez, Lauren Conrad to name a few. On a random Google search for pajama style charmeuse pants (I was obsessed with a pair of ill-fitting Zara ones), I came across the Narciso Rodriquez collaboration that launched during the holidays. The best part about it is, I managed to find several separates from this special line that can easily be pieced together. Further, they were all on clearance which made an epic haul possible.
Today's outfit showcases two pieces that I instantly fell in love with-the medallion charmeuse top and bottom. This ensemble worked perfectly for me since I was going for a sophisticated birthday dinner look.
The pants (sz xl) were too big and I ended up having to tailor it a bit myself but will eventually bring it to a professional. I loved the the silky material which mimicked pajamas in terms of the comfort level and the medallion print with the tuxedo stripe. I was annoyed by the asymmetrical tricky collar from the top, which seemed to catch everything. I speculate this top would have worked best for someone who's less endowed.

If you are into saving money and looking chic, don't hesitate and head over to Kohl's NOW. These pants are currently on clearance for $9.60 (originally $49). They also come in a paisley print as well. All in all, don't sleep on Kohl's ladies.

T.G.I.F- Thank God Its FLORAL
T. G. I F
Thank God Its Floral
When it comes down to dress down Fridays at work, leave it to me to find a way to make wearing sweats work appropriate. It's a gloomy day out, the sun nowhere in sight, so I find it only right to bring my own shine and flowers. Cue in this amazing top. Sequins & Florals-Yes Please!
I could have went with jeans, but in my opinion, it would've been way too casual. Instead, I wore my new faux leather pants from the LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's line. Speaking of which, why has no one put me onto the deals and fashions from Kohls?!! Ladies, let me tell you, if you're looking for more fashion bang for your hard-work buck, hit up Kohls where you'll find Narciso Rodriquez, Vera Wang, Lauren Conrad, Rock & Republic, and countless others. I just made my first purchase which included a HUGE haul of 15 items for less than a $100!! You can thank me later!
Have a wonder weekend loves!

It's Black It's White.....yea yea yea
Black and white combo's have been dominating the fashion world this spring to no avail! There's nothing more classic than these two universal colors whether they're in a bold graphic print, brocade, mirror pattern, lace, you name it. In today's post, the focus happens to fall onto my black and white combo lace print pants. As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to have them! I decided to stay in the same color pattern by opting for my trusty go-to white blazer and a black and white peplum top. For a pop of color, I wore my neon yellow patent sandals.
By the way, with the exception of my accessories, my WHOLE outfit was thrifted including shoes totaling $40!! Who says style has to cost a lot?

Their beauty is absolute.
It is the perfect harmony."

I love how this outfit can transition from
day to night-work to play without
having to remove or
add any pieces.
