28 Days of Style: Day 5 - Subtle Details

Hey lovelies!!

Today I'm sharing with you what I wore last night for my Day 5 look. (Yes I skipped over Day 4 because it was a super casual, lounge-at-home-all-day-type-of-day).

Yesterday, although the weather was terrible I had previously made dinner and a movie plans and definitely wanted to keep them. I would usually opt for heels and a nice blouse for something like that but I decided to stick to a more casual and overall warm look. Especially considering our recurring snow storms in NYC the last week or so.

I had to throw in a pop of color via my sneakers. Hey, I'm all for all black everything but it's been a long winter and I do miss wearing bright colors! Also, yesterday was the perfect excuse to try out my new jacket. I love it for it's versatility, although I still haven't figured out all the various ways you can wear it. (I'm going to have to study the 10+ pictures on the website to see my other options) It IS technically a men's jacket but having grown up with 2 older brothers I'm no stranger to wearing boy clothes, and you can't beat the comfort!

When it comes down to it, this outfit for me was all in the subtle details. The netted stripes on the sleeve of the sweater paired with the mesh panels on the leggings and the edgy gold accessories all added visual interest to the look. It was the details that really took a plain all black casual look to the next level. Hope you enjoy this one!

Jacket: www.yesstyle.com

Until tomorrow,

Day 2: Shades of Grey

Hey babes!!

It's Superbowl Sunday and I'm feeling overly unfestive this year. I've completely avoided Superbowl related activities and instead opted for a casual movie date with my little guy. It helped greatly that we finally had amazing weather! It was 50 degrees today and the highlight of my 2014 so far was being able to go out without a jacket today. Oh, the simple joys of life.

Unfortunately I can't always have my regular handy dandy cameraman available so I improvised today and used mirror pics combined with selfies and I also attempted to enlist my sons help. He's not the best photographer but with some practice.... =0]





























Outfit Deets:

Basic Long Sleeve: Gap
Sweater: Gap
Scarf: Gift in a Goodie Bag
Purse: JustFab
Printed Jeans: Victoria's Secret
Mocassins: Steve Madden

If you are at a Superbowl party right now I hope you're having an amazing time!! I'll see you beauties tomorrow.

xoxo,

28 Days of Style Challenge: Day 1 Leather Sweetheart

Happy Februaryyyyyyyy!!!

The month of love is finally here!! I especially like February because it reminds me that spring is right around the corner. In celebration of that beautiful thought, and as a way to share some love with all of you, I came up with the idea to do a fashion challenge this month. I'm calling it the 28 Days of Style Challenge!!

Each day in the month of February my goal is to upload a new outfit blog post to share some fashion inspiration with all of you! You guys can join in on the fun also. I'll be uploading preview and teaser pictures to my instagram page with the hashtag #28DaysofStyle and I encourage you guys to share your style with me as well. If you decide to recreate any of my looks or you just want to share your own OOTD with me then use the hashtag #28DaysofStyle so that I can see your looks. I'll be sharing my favorites on my own instagram page every week, or maybe every couple of days if you guys really wow me with your fashion sense (which I'm sure you will!).

I hope you guys like this idea! I thought it would be a cute way to interact with all of you. Now, without further ado I present to you Day 1: Leather Sweetheart...

Jacket: Calvin Klein (purchased at Macy's)
Scarf: Came in my Season's Box one month
