It's the "I have a dream" look

Whether African-American or not, whether American or not, everyone is familiar with that quote said by none other than Martin Luther King (by the way you guys are in for a good read :D). Yeah sometimes we joke around and say "I have a dream that school will end and summer will come," but today's outfit is inspired by the dream in your heart and following through with it. Everyone has a dream, everyone wants something and it's kept, as cheesy as it sounds, in everyone's heart. So if you have a broken heart, mend it. If you have a lost heart, focus and find what you're looking for. If you fear that when you say  "I have a dream to do what's in my heart" won't come true, kill that fear and just follow what's in there and you'll get there. DREAM BIG. And NEVER I mean NEVER think you can't achieve that dream. Well that's my motivational rant for the week!
 But as every outfit comes with a story, this week I decided wearing this loose-fit flowy heart covered shirt and pattern blocking with one of my favorite floral scarves that I haven't worn for quite some time. Now let's time talk about this new item in the closet committee...first off, that maxi dress was too cheap not to buy; I'm enjoying how though it's like a maxi, the slits let you add a dash of color. A part of me was not sure if I should do boots or gladiators since it is a maxi but the slits let you work with either.

Well whether it was the motivational rant or the outfit or even both, I hope you enjoyed this week's post and dressing it up because life's too short to dress boring!







Omg where did you get that?!

  Hello fashion lovers! Today's outfit is a very special one. Not only because it contains my favorite pair of shoes, but because I decided to YOLO and enter into a H&M competition across the nation! But we'll talk about that later. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "is she wearing a leather jacket and combat boots in the summer?" And the answer is yes, why yes I am! You can never get ready for fall too early:)

 I know I'm repeating my green skinny jeans again, but let's just say this outfit wouldn't be what it is without them. Let's start with the dress; it's a mint high-low that is made of a slightly sheer but soft linen material giving it the right the "flowiness" especially being cinched at the waist-line giving it loose pleats throughout the dress. It gives the outfit a sweet, chique look,but by adding the leather jacket and combat boots give it just the right amount of edge. What I like most about the leather jacket (which is also another necessary essential in your closet) is that it's not one of those biker/ punk leather jackets,but still gives you a 'bad' look, which is of course topped off with the aviators and boots. The scarf has the appropriate shade of green leaves and collage of light pink, yellow, and purple flowers, blending well with both the green skinny jeans and mint dress. This scarf does not clash but correlates with the braided belt (turned into a head band) giving a whole Grecian ("Greek") look to this scarf style. Not only that, but the light shades help match the nude pink color of the bag, which if you ask me, nude pink (with rose gold) and mint is great pastel combination. I know I said that this outfit would be incomplete without the green skinny jeans, and well that's not a lie, but what truly wraps up this outfit and just makes me love it so much are my boots. When I saw these combat boots on overstock.com, it was like love at first click; that's when I knew, they were the one for me. They make any outfit from plain, to giving an edgy-vintage look, and I absolutely love that. Do get used to these boots because they will reappear very often as the fall/winter season come in. I just hope you love them as much as I do:)

My favorite boots

As I had mentioned earlier, this outfit was a special one because I also submitted this outfit for the H&M fan fashion competition across the nation and the picture with the most votes gets a reward that any H&M lover (like myself) would greatly appreciate! So please go to 50statesoffashion.com go under "sort by states" and click on Florida and click my picture! It would be greatly appreciated and let's just say I'm representing all us hijabis and showing them we got style;)

Hope you enjoyed today's (rather long if you ask me) post and don't forget to dress it with style, because life's too short to not to!
