BLACK & WHITE HUES + STYLING TIPS!

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

Hi there, thanks for stopping by today ! I hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing and eventful at the same time. We've finally experienced some "real" winter weather here in Miami, so I was/am pretty excited about that. It makes me realize that I barely have any winter clothes. LOL :(  If you count thin long-sleeved shirts and scarfs as winter apparel, then I am doing pretty good for now. ;) I'm also really happy you all enjoyed my last post on ways to relieve stress, it was so great to read your feedback :) If you missed it, you could catch it HERE

Ok, let's get into this outfit ! If you've followed my blog long enough, you know that for me simplicity is key to styling any outfit. The expression "less is more" is truer than you think. You look more streamlined and put together if you have at least one staple (basic piece) in your outfit. For instance, it could be your basic everyday tee, a good pair of jeans (a black pair and a blue pair) shorts, etc. In this outfit, I went the monochrome route and played with both black and white this time around. This top I'm wearing is simple...yet makes a statement. You could wear it with a cami top underneath or just do how I did and wear none (yes, join the darkside and be a rebel LOL). I decided to pair it with some white shorts that I found buried in my closet (yes, my closet has a mind of its own). Initially I was going to wear all black, but I thought the shorts gave it a nice contrast; which brings me to my favorite part...these amazing OTK (over-the-knee) boots. The best part about these is the chunky heel, which makes them so easy to walk in. They also have enough space for you to move around in and not feel like your legs are suffocating or something (does that even make sense? LOLOL!) You must definitely invest in a pair of otk boots because they ultimately dress up ANY outfit! Anyways...I also envision this whole outfit with a light black duster vest or maybe even a hat! ;) I always get inspired after I see the photos even more. 

So now, I would love to know what is one basic piece that you like to incorporate into your outfit...or how do you like yo feel when you dress?! Let me know below <3

Thanks again for spending some time with me.
'til next post !
