Outfit Made Simple - Blazer, Tank, Leggings & Heels

We all have a go to outfit or items in our wardrobe that are quick, easy and reliable.  Four things I could never live without:  jackets, black leggings, long tanks and pointy toe heels.  Those are pretty much my old faithfuls, for when I really don't want to get dressed, but have to, and need to look presentable.  Jackets are great because they can add dimension to an outfit and just change the whole look and feel depending on the color, length and style.  I love leggings, I have them in multiple textures, colors and lengths.  They are a must in my wardrobe because I can make them work for many occasions, they travel well, and they are super comfy.  You can never have too many pairs of great leggings! Long tanks for tall girls are a must; they compliment our stature and also are just good wardrobe staples to have year round.  They are great to wear alone or especially as layering pieces under sweaters, jackets and even different shirts or blouses.  Lastly, I could never live without my pointy toe heels.  Boutique 9 captured my heart with their Justine style, so much that I bought every color I could in multiples for fear of never being able to find another great style like it.  And of course its a good thing I did because they I have found nothing like them and I wear them quite often.  My go to color is definitely my dark natural, that you have seen in quite a few posts.  So there you have it my four key items that I can't get enough of.  Here's a peek at how I paired them in this outfit of the day.

Bossy in Black - Turtle Neck, Faux Leather Skirt, Ankle Booties

Image
Something about wearing all black says bossy to me.  The look and feel of this color makes such a powerful statement and you can usually never go wrong no matter what size you are, as it is the most flattering and forgiving color one can wear.  I love bright and beautiful colors but black is definitely a BSM favorite and absolute go to! For today's OOTD post, I chose a simple turtle neck, tiered leather skirt, ankle booties and topped it off with some classy long pearls.  My favorite items of this look are the the skirt and the booties.  I have always appreciated the look of a great leather pencil skirt.  If you find the perfect fit and length, it just hugs and accentuates your curves in all the right places, proving a very sophisticated and classy appeal.  The ankle booties are a great alternative to a pump. I especially love the pair I wore because of the textured coating on the back.  It gives them a very sleek, chic and sassy presence. Here's a peek at what I pulled tog

Shades of Pink - Pink & Black Dress and Pink Top & Black Leather Skirt

Pink is a universal color that looks good on almost everyone, including the gentlemen.  Some shades definitely pop more so than others.  I truly love the dramatic look of fuchsia pink, it is vibrant and makes a very bold statement, where as the softer pink is very classic and timeless. In today's post I am giving you two different looks with two different shades of pink. The first look has a sassy and bold appeal.  I paired my long sleeve shift dress with some leggings and black knee high boots with gold accents.  This fuchsia shade definitely pops and makes a statement that definitely needs no introduction.  Where as the second look, has a touch of classy sophistication appeal to it.  The soft pink top finished off with a faux leather pencil skirt, pearls and ankle strap heels gives you subtle sexy look.  Here's a peek at the outfits I pulled together.

Every day is a Special Occasion - Embroidered Skirt, Tank and Blazer

Image
I have things in my closet that I sometimes never get to waiting on a special occasion; so rather than do that I figure, "if you have it, wear it", as everyday is a special occasion to look and feel good.  For today's OOTD,  I was feeling a little sassy and decided to wear this fun embroidered fitted skirt. I have said it before, I love pieces that accent your curves in all the right places; and the skirt does just that.  I completed the look with an long asymmetrical sleeveless top and a blazer.  Simple, yet edgy and definitely and outfit that can take you from day to night if need be.  Now, call me crazy, but I truly got dressed to sit in my office all day and run a couple errands, but regardless I was ready for anything that came my way.  Here's a peek at what I wore.
