Classic Elegance OOTD

Hey Beautiful!!!

Let's get fancy today! With Valentine's Day just around the corner I find my mind wandering to dressier date night looks. Although it seems I'll be spending my V-Day alone with some chocolate Haagen Dazs, as a YouTube and blogger it's my duty to give you guys ideas for the big day - plus, how much fun is it to play dress up!!

I've been allllll overrrr the midi skirt trend lately and I love how this one, from Zara, incorporates a lace overlay. It adds the perfect feminine touch to a super flattering silhouette. I kept the color palette simple, well mainly all black, but I did throw in a brown tweed jacket. Most people forget that black and brown, both being neutrals, actually work amazingly together! You don;t have to pick one of the other. This jacket also has black leather patches and piping which ties in to this look perfectly. I would totally wear this out to a dinner date or a dressy event.

Crop Top - HotMiamiStyles
Skirt - Zara (HUGE sales going on now!)
Jacket - H&M
Shoes - Steve Madden

28 Days of Style: My Favorite February Outfits

Hey Dolls!

I think it's safe to say that my 28 days of style challenge was a huge fail! With almost bi-weekly snow storms I wasn't able to dress up as much as I would have liked to. Still I found opportunities to add a little glam to my look whenever possible. For today, Day 28, I'm sharing with you my two favorite outfits that I wore in the month of February!

My top favorite look this month was one I had envisioned from the moment I ordered this jersey tank top online - and I snagged it on sale for only $16, thank you coupons! I was dying for the opportunity to pull my vision to life and I got that chance last weekend. I went out to the movies to see the new Kevin Hart flick ("About Last Night" - hysterical by the way) and, hoping to impress my super cute date, I put on my new killer heels and the outfit I had been daydreaming about and I took over the night, heehee. New heels always make a woman feel like she can conquer the world! Here are the pics and deets from my favorite February outfit..

Outfit Deets:

Jersey Top: Express

Blazer: H&M

Jeans: Somewhere on Graham Ave, Brooklyn

Shoes: Forever 21

My 2nd top February outfit was one I wore to go surprise one of my best friends for her birthday! Her amazing fiance and sister planned a huge surprise dinner for her and myself along with about 10+ other lovely ladies just happened to be waiting for her at the restaurant. It was a blast and it felt great to see all my girls and do something to make my bestie feel special. I was definitely channeling my inner summer that day considering it was below freezing yet I found a way to make shorts work in the winter! Outfit deets and pics are below and I'm also including pictures of the delicious food (we ate Sofrito in midtown) and the girls - see if you can spot out some other amazing YouTubers in the pics..

Let me know what you think of my top 2 picks? What was your favorite February outfit? Also, would you guys like me to repeat this challenge during the spring?

See you soon my loves!
