I didn't realize how such a simple outfit can balance out so well and look so good. First off, can we just admire the blazer. Is it an ordinary black blazer? No, no it is not. And why? Because it is actually of hijab appropriate length! Can I have a hallelujah! I was debatable about buying it seeing as it wasn't what I was looking for, but then I realized I would be doing something disappointing to all hijabis if I didn't buy it so technically I did it for all of us out there:D
But as you can see, the outfit is simple! Just added a little "flavor," I guess you could call it with the cheetah scarf and gold-chain tooth necklace (no that's not a real tooth guys).

Oh and yes of course, good luck to everyone taking their finals this week or next week or even after! We're almost done guys and then break!...well for a short time and then back to school *sigh* it never ends. Hope you guys loved the outfit and don't forget to look cute for exams!

You guys remember that blog I posted about the essential pieces of clothing you need in your closet? Well, I've got a new essential, and that my friends is a cobalt blue maxi. Yes, you need it! It's not only appropriate for the summer, but it's such a pretty color that you can easily dress it up for a night out with that special someone ;D just kidding that special someone is me, myself, and I  ( #dontaskmeoutIwearascarf ). But honestly though, you guys need to go shop for one (ehem at H&M...I promise I'm not addicted to this store, well kind of not addicted). You can make it into a maxi skirt like I did with today's outfit or put a cardigan, blazer, even a leather jacket if you want to feel super edgy! Because it's summer time, and I'm just soaking up the summer colors, I was feeling the stripes since it reminds me of sailing ( #Imonaboat ) and well the orange on the bag just POPS, and makes it fun and stands out and it's been a while since I've worn it, so I thought why not! Well hope you guys loved this week's outfit and are excited for more because I've just got so many ideas and I can't wait for you to see them!

Don't you love how a blazer and pumps takes a normal outfit of pattern-blocking from cute to a "I-need-to-wear-this-outfit-out-tonight" outfit, which is exactly what I did! When you never know what to wear to a semi-formal dinner with friends, when in doubt put a blazer on it and you'll be perfectly dressed for the occasion. And if you're feeling daring (like I was), then put some heels on! I fell in love with these when I bought them and they are surprisingly one of my most comfortable ones...well for the first hour, then you start contemplating about walking bare feet. So, this is basically how I would dress on a night out for dinner with friends and I hope you loved it (and if it not then at least the red pumps) as much as I did! Also, sorry for the late post, something called school was getting in the way -_-

Honestly, I owe this outfit to my mom, she made me improvise. So we went shopping because she's leaving on a trip soon to visit her family in Africa and I saw these Aztec printed  loose pants, kind of like jasmine pants but a little more straight. Loved them, asked for them, didn't get them. Reason being - "you already have pants just like that." And she was referring to these very much African style pants that I honestly bought because I was being a foreigner and thought they were cute but never really thought I would actually wear them because they were just "too African"...though, my mom begged to differ. She said I don't wear these pants, but now I don't know how right she is about that. I had an outfit set in mind when I saw the Aztec pants, but since I couldn't get them, I decided why not make an outfit with these, and to be honest, I think it's one of my favorites so far because of how well themed it is yet chic at the same time! Now I think I would actually wear this out because the blazer gives it a modern (or classy) spin that makes it appealing to yours and other people's eyes. Well I hope you guys like this outfit as much as I did! Remember, life's too short to dress boring, so dress it up! :)

Honestly...it was matching at first sight when the blazer laid eyes on the black and white chiffon polk-a-dot shirt. Obviously they needed an instigator to get them together (me of course), but nonetheless, they're matching happily ever after. This week's outfit is just a mix of everything! We've got pattern blocking, a vintage edge look, and to top it off a vibrant blue blazer to put the "icing on the cake" for  this outfit!


Before, this outfit was going to be my infinity floral scarf with its variety of colored flowers and black background to tie with the chiffon shirt and what was to be green skinny jeans...but, I decided to change it up instead, giving polk-a-dots an upgrade from just being cute. I love putting this blue blazer with this kind of outfit because it gives a good balance of cute and chic/modern, and adds that splash of blue to the outfit, making it not so serious as a blazer should make an outfit. I just really liked this week's outfit because it's dressed up, but still maintains that simple and cute look. And then of course, how can you not put this outfit with combat boots? Well, actually you can, but it just completes the outfit so well! It coordinates well with the brown mesh of floral in the scarf, and let's be honest, it can just match pretty much anything (which is what makes me love these boots even more).
I know I didn't say much about this week's outfit, but hope you liked it and are getting your boots out and lattes in hand as fall is coming around! :)

Hello Fashion Lovers! Today is an exciting day for me, because though I should've had this earlier, today's my first interview!  That's why today's outfit is compiled of a few of my favorite things from my closet and will also show another essential I feel everyone should have in their closet.  Guys aren't the only ones that can rock blazers (well unless you're Harvey Specter, then he rocks it the most), but a blazer is something I feel you need to have in a closet. It makes an outfit go from ordinary, to polished and just really stylish and cute, by just pulling it over a plain striped dress such as this one. This isn't my first blazer, but I do suggest that if you do want to buy a blazer, start off with a basic blue or black, just because it's easy to match with. I've always wanted a red/maroon blazer so when I saw this one, I had to get it (especially after only being $10). The cut of this blazer is different because it does not have the two stitched lines in the back, making it fit your back, but it's not so bad where it throws off the

whole outfit to not working. I also like it because one, of the two pockets (very convenient and adds more to it), and two because it's pretty light and bearable to wear this time of the year (especially in Florida). I wonder if you guys will get tired of seeing my pattern blocking...but I couldn't help myself and had to wear this scarf with this striped dress! The off-white/cream color blends well with the mesh of beige, different tones of green, mustard yellow and purple. And I understand there isn't an exact maroon color in the scarf to match the blazer, but I felt the colors were close enough to work well together.
I know, the summer is just ending and I'm already starting to bring about my boots, and I know this outfit would've looked cute with my flats, but I just didn't feel right wearing this outfit without the boots. I wasn't kidding when I said "get used to them," because with the next few months coming up, you'll be seeing them a lot more often :D But anyway, I honestly feel these boots are perfect for anything, and especially this outfit due to its camel tan color, working with the mix of colors in the outfit and especially the maroon blazer. They change the attitude of the outfit by giving it an edge, but still having a polished look with the blazer. And of course, the two pearl rings and purse just wraps up the outfit by giving a classy touch to it.
Hope you guys like this week's outfit! Feel free to try it out or let me know of other things that could work with this. And don't forget, sharing is caring!:)
