This outfit just sums up the color blocking and pattern blocking to tee so not much explaining is necessary (I think I almost rhymed there:D), but this week I decided to show the people behind stylebyfj! These girls aren't the only ones that I've helped me get to where I am, but they've done more than I can ask for and I'm always so happy and blessed when I realize that I have them to go back to for anything. Both are extremely talented themselves in make up and hair, two departments which I have very little talent in. They're basically my left and right wing, but sh they don't need to know I love them that much. Well, hope you guys loved this week's outfit!

So yesterday I went to my first ever NBA game of the Magic against the 76er's and even though I'm a fan of neither teams (I'm a Laker's fan), it was a pretty good game! And so I've had this shirt sitting in my closet and I at first bought it because I didn't have anything like it and didn't know how I was going to wear it. But, the game inspired me! So I thought, instead of looking I got out of a jail, how about looking like a referee with better taste! This outfit consists of pattern-blocking but on the next level since the patterns are bigger and directly against each other for lack of better terms. What I love about this outfit though are the blue skinny jeans that just POP. It's that perfect royal vibrant blue yet not obnoxious. I know this different from my usual, but I hope you loved it as much as I did!

In Florida it's actually not 80 degrees right now! Of course this won't last for too long, but I'm celebrating this attempt of "fall" weather by showing you my try at color blocking! The "cool" colors are not only really bold and bright (which I love), but their mixture is basically ice (the blue) mixed with a latte (the green), making an iced latte. And of course pattern blocking, when do I not do it? Or another more appropriate question is, when will I not include my boots in an outfit? Yes you could definitely put this outfit with a pair of cream-white flats (I say cream-white because that's the color of mine), but the boots just add the right touch!


Well for all you non-floridians or where ever you are in the world, if you're enjoying the cold , enjoy for me! And for those that are suffering with me, *sigh* I too wish I could control Florida's weather.

One of my favorite angles to take a picture

Selfie time!

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!:)

It's Monday, so you know what that means...today's "My Outfits Monday!" :D I hope I'm not the only this excited, because then that would be awkward...
Okay let's start talking about this week's outfit! You may be telling yourself that this outfit looks quite familiar. And it actually is. The striped shirt on top of the maxi is from the first outfit I posted, but this time I changed the patterns that I "blocked" together and changed the style of the purse. I've been quite crazy about aztec print for quite a while and have actually had my eye on this scarf for some time as well; thanks to a friend of mine and her "sixth sense" of just seeing a scarf and knowing I'd like it, I finally got it! And so I thought, hey I'll do this week's outfit with it!
Now in the beginning, I wasn't sure if these two prints would work together because I thought aztec had lines that looked similar to stripes, but really they are more zig-zags, triangles, and diamonds all meshed into a rather different, not so subtle (but not too loud) pattern that mixes great with stripes (I just love stripes, they work with everything). What I love most about this outfit and why I feel it would be appropriate for the summer (and since it's almost over unfortunately) is because it's simple yet has the perfect pop of color with the bright orange bringing the orange of the scarf and the bag together and basically putting the "icing on top of the cake" when it comes to this outfit. I was given this bag as a gift as well and at first I had no idea how I was going to use it, but this scarf is just one of the many things it actually matches with and I feel it's the perfect accessory when you want to go simple yet stand out.

Hope you guys liked this week's outfit! Let me know what you think and feel free to share the idea! :)
Also, comment on what you think about doing cheetah print with Aztec. I'm a little confused and would love for some input:)

Along with starting this blog,I also started posting my on instagram with #myoutfitsmonday as the hashtag. My first outfit consists of something you'll see has become a habit of mine, and that is "pattern blocking" (yes, like color blocking but with the word pattern). Cheetah print and stripes is one of my favorite combos along with floral print and stripes. The black bottom "maxi skirt" is actually just a maxi dress with a shirt put on top. It's kind of like buying two things at once when I thought of this because now I don't need to worry about getting a black maxi skirt! The purse is one my favorites (which you may also see frequently, because of this classy yet vintage touch it gives to the whole outfit.
This is the first of many more outfits to come, enjoy!:)
