Overall Love

I have wanted to jump on the overall bandwagon for about a year now, but they all seemed too overall-y for me(You know what I mean?). Until one day I saw these at Urban Outfitters. I fell in love! First off, I love the dark color, I think it makes them a bit dressier. The straight leg fit is amazing and also comfortable, but, my favorite part of these is the back. The way the straps start at the waist and is open for your shirt to show is so cool to me. It also makes them a bit more mature and less teeny bopper. I also decided to wear a buton down blouse with adorable hearts on it to further prove I'm a lady:) While I'm being a lady for the day, what better than pink pointy toe pumps?  The perfect pop of color and chic-ness. I highly recommend these perfect overalls. Go get em!

Flawsome for March

Now I don't know about you, but I buy things and save them for a "special" day. As usual, that "special" day never really comes. It reminds me of this quote: "I have a irrational fear of wasting a good outfit on an insignificant day". So as I was writing this fashion post, I decided to turn it into a Flaw post. I started thinking of all the clothes and things I have just sitting in my closet. Waiting. Waiting for me to have a significant day. I realize at this point in my life that special days just don't fall into our laps. We have to make our day special. Which made me think of another quote "it's a good day to have a good day". So I figured, today is the perfect day to wear my BCBG leathers! I've had these for at least a year. There's been times where I put them on and took them off because I thought: "today isn't good enough". How sad is that? Now, I'm determined to go through my closet and wear things that I've been wanting and waiting to wear;) (you should too!) As I sit here eating the most perfect chocolate chip cookie, working on my blog, with Poirot (one of my fave masterpiece classics) playing on the tv, I think to myself, today was a great day! Especially since I wore my cute pants and my cute top on a day that I deemed special. I call that Flawsome!

Burger and Fringe!

Last week I went to one of my favorite restaurants: The Cheesecake Factory. There I had THE best veggie burger and fries. That meal inspired today's look. Get it? Burger and Fringe(fries), eh? I'm so proud of myself for that!;) (Any and everything inspires me, especially food). I had been waiting for the perfect excuse to order this sweatshirt from sincerelyjules. (Shes one of my favorite bloggers). So when I got this lovely package at my door I could hardly contain myself. I decided to wear it over some classic skinnies. Today was brutally cold, but since it wasn't snowing I gave my furry boots a break and wore my favorite fringe booties instead. I then pulled my hair up(sans my hood/hat),wore some huge hoops and enjoyed walking around with this yummy blue burger on my chest. I'm excited to have this comfy sweater and I can't wait to order more;)

Freckle feature:February

I'm beyond excited to have my high school friend Jessica as my freckle feature for February. Personally, I loved her freckled face when I first saw it. I remember noticing her gorgeous freckles as a freshman, but being too shy to tell her how much I liked them. Jessica is one of five girls and the only one with freckles and red hair. So you can imagine her being the youngest and the most different looking, she thought something was wrong with her. She has a cousin with freckles and they would talk about when they got older they were going to get laser surgery to remove them. She is so happy to have outgrown that idea! Jessica's now husband was instantly attracted to her freckles and made her look at them completely different than she ever did before. He actually describes them in his book as, "this red headed, freckle face, was a beauty. Her freckles, which I so love, meant one thing, she didn't have to wear a drop of makeup to look beautiful..." And right he is! She throws on bronzer to give the "mirage" of a tan, but other than that, she lets her freckles shine makeup free. I love her constellation and so want to play connect the dots with them;) (she actually has a family friend who's final wishes was to do just that!) Thankfully he's still around, so maybe him and I can do it together! Aren't her freckles Flawsome? 

Camel & Houndstooth

Today was a sweater and jeans type of day. It's cold, snowy and sunny all at the same time. Weird I know, but that's called...WINTER in NYS! So since the sun was shining, I decided to wear something other than my usual black. I thought camel and blue jeans would suffice. Now I don't know about you, but I LOVE a twofer (when something has two purposes). This Michael Kors sweater is just that! It has a detachable cozy fur neck warmer. Perfect for these type of days. You can take it off when the suns' shining and put it back on when the clouds roll in. The gold button on the back is adorable AND functional(it keeps the fur in place). I finished the look with some houndstooth jeans from Hudson and open toe heels(of course I had to put boots on to get to my car). Fuschia lips and some fun jewelry to top it off. Simple and chic!

Freckle Feature

My freckle feature for January is my friend Alisha. She's one of the sweetest people I know. Chatting with her about her lovely freckles, she told me she never really noticed her freckles growing up. She more so noticed other people with an abundance of freckles on their faces. One day, she was looking in the mirror and noticed hers! As typical with us freckle faced girls, she wasn't happy with her freckles. Her main reason for being unhappy about them? Because they were more pronounced than anyone in her family and circle of friends. Alisha also shared that as she grew older she learned to embrace her freckles because they are a part of her. They make her special and she feels blessed to have them. She's comfortable in her own skin and the bonus is others love them too! I think they're adorable and flawsome just like her;)

Blazin' Winter White

It's still snowing and it's still cold. So this weekend I decided to wear something I've been saving for no special reason, what better than a freezing cold day? Jeans as white as the snow outside my window and a silver sequins blazer. Fun right? :) I must admit, I've always avoided white, especially in the winter. Not only because its after Labor Day, but because i'm a bit of a slob. Try as I might, I never seem to get all my food in my mouth(my clothes tend to get hungry too).  I pulled out my BCBGeneration white faux leather jeans, a soft white button down and a fun sparkly blazer. I really like that these jeans are two different fabrics. The top is a very light toned jean and the bottom faux leather(this fact makes them easy to wear). This blazer is THE best! Its wool with amazing sequins, which is the best of both worlds(business and party). Who says you cant dress up going for pizza? I say "go for it"! Umm yes, I did wear a few napkins;) This look by far is one of my favorites and I can't wait to wear it again!
