Pinspiration - Stripe top + Yellow skinnies

Outfit of the day was inspired by this...

The white printed tank top was a 'just cause'/no occassion gift from the hubs, just 'cause he liked it and just 'cause he love me ;-) I'll keep him!

(it was from the girls' section at Zara!) Yes, I get my clothes from the kids' section ;-)

Scarf season and colored skinnies (Wearings lately)

If you've been a long-time reader of this blog, you'll know that I'm an accessory kinda' girl... I'd always find something to add to my outfit to make it visually interesting, and since it's now fall here - scarf season (tho the weather isn't much so) I added a couple of scarves - some of my birthday loot (teal/pink - left and green paisley - right) to my growing collection..

Outfit details:

1. H&M outfit
(White lace-arm top found in the girl's section at H&M, pink skinnies from H&M, brown/gold-rimmed aviators from H&M, wedge ankle booties (new, bday gift to self)

2. Blue and teal

(White halter top, cobalt blue skinnies from H&M, white birks (sold at my shop)

3. Green and peach

(Black ribbed tee from H&M, peach skinnies, animal-print flats)

Dressing up for fall (Birthday outfit)

Dressing up for fall means outfit includes scarf and booties... It was my birthday yesterday and since my boys were at work and at school, I planned a solo trip to IKEA and this is what I wore...

Top - H&M girl's section (Size 12-14 y. o.)

Pants - Pink skinny jeans from H&M

Ankle wedge booties - local shop

Scarf - local shop

Aviators - H&M

What I've been wearing - White halter top

When i have something new, i tend to wear it repeatedly... Take this satiny white halter top for example, which is so breezy and comfy to wear when it's 30+degrees outside... I just added a scarf for a different look, it's perfect to pair with anything! (FYI: I have another one in green ;-)

Colored skinnies, leopard-print, stripes

I have amassed quite a collection of colored denims over the past year, I think I have 12 pairs now (quite an obsession)  and i love all of them! 

 I love colors! Makes me happy! They come from various brands, a few are from H&M... 

What I wore - Afternoon date with the hubs

Occasion: Afternoon date with the hubs

Accessories (here)

Which shoes?

I always plan my outfit in my mind but I don't usually lay them out like this, but I need to get the vision out of my head to see if it's gonna work...

Apparently, when I wore it I was not feeling the slim yellow belt and the clutch...

Here's a close-up of the necklace...

I was leaning towards the nude peep-toes but I just had to see how my Bershka wedge would look with the rest of the outfit...

In the end, I wore my flipfops *wink*

I already got the cobalt blue and hot pink...

What I wore -- Colored skinnies part 2

Happy Monday!

My new hot pink skinnies finally got it's FALL/WINTER debut! Yay!

I actually waited for the colored skinnies to go on sale at summer's end so I could get a good deal of 'em coz you know what they say about spending too much money on some trends, not wise, cause it's sure to go as fast as it came... I made it my life's motto, lol... Yeah, hard times does that to you!

I bought 2 (one cobalt blue and this one), I actually wanted to buy one in every color but self-control prevailed... But now, I'm itching to buy one more -- the yellow one to wear with my black & white stripe top and new gray sweater...

What I wore:

Black & white top

Hot pink skinnies

Wedge sandals

They always say, "don't spend a lot of money on a trend because it's sure to go as fast as it came..." Living by this motto, I tend to shy away from pricey items [unless it's a classic] that are on trend and so I always wait for sales and bargains... I usually snag my closet staples on end-of-season sales, and this colored skinnies is one of them, I actually got two [read post here]

 

the other is the same color as this pink one above still waiting for the perfect occasion to be worn ...

Colored skinnies...

I went to the stores last Tuesday to see the latest offerings and displays... and since it's fall, there are lots of boots, cardigans, jackets and long-sleeved tunics, I was actually hoping I could still snag some spring/summer pieces which are usually discounted items... I did find some clog sandals and a couple of colored skinny pants [Update: see post] which I love!

So I googled for some inspiration on how to wear colored skinnies and here's what I found...

I learned that I can pair it with a white tank top

and top it with a nude blazer and matching shoes

and striped tops...

Lots of outfit possibilities! Can't wait to try them!
