Brown Butter in the Mix - Leather Jacket & Knee High Boots

Black and cognac are one of my go to combos, other than black and red.   When I want to keep it simple but still add a light touch of color I love the cocoa/cognac tone.  There is something smooth about it, you could almost could call it brown butter.  It definitely provides a quiet yet meaningful offset to black, keeping your outfit timeless and classy.

Today's outfit consists of a simple black sweater and pants, mixed with a cocoa brown leather jacket and cognac knee high boots.  Of course I couldn't forget to accessorize with my leopard infinity scarf.   Also making its debut on the blog, is my favorite handbag that I carry quite often, my LV Patent Epi Alma GM.  I love this bag because I can fit everything including my laptop in it if need be, not to mention that textured patent just gives it such a fabulous finish.  I can wear this bag with just about all my day to day outfits, so its very versatile, truly holding its value in more ways than one.  Here's peek at how I pulled everything together in today's OOTD.

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.
