I love love love a simple dress that I can throw on and still feel great. I am always on the move, especially on Saturday’s. I can go from one event to another, I like to have a look that can transition from event to event.

I found this dress while walking through T.J. Maxx one evening and I knew it was a dress that had to come home with me. It was a great choice simply because I wore it a few times before it even made it to the blog. I am really strict with myself when it comes to wearing my clothes before I photograph them for the blog.

So here it is, what is your go-to easy outfit?

Some days we just don’t have all the energy in putting together a really great outfit, but that shouldn’t stop you from being put together. One thing I have been doing is throwing on my favorite pair of jeggins when I have to look presentable but not feel like getting all fancy.

This outfit is something I would wear I am going to a movie or a casual dinner unexpected. Most often, when the decision to go out is made to go out, I am either already in my sweats or pajamas. Changing into an easy pair of pants is the most comfortable and quickest option. Plus, they feel just like I am still in my sweats.

Le Black and White Look

Good Day Ladies,

Did you see what I did in the title… (lol). This look screams Paris to me, hence the Le. Ok I am a dork but lets talk about the outfit. 🙂 This outfit is so easy and comfortable. I have been looking for another pair of black Pixie pants for some time now. I did want to find a budget option because I do have the purchased form J.Crew (currently on sale!) a few years ago, but I wanted to find a great pair on a budget. Old Navy has had a very similar pair if you are looking for a cheaper option which is what I am wearing today.

Becoming Minimalism

Minimalism

So I have a lot of stuff! There is nothing wrong with having things that bring joy to your life. At some point when you look around your space and become overwhelmed with the amount of crap round that serves no purpose and is never used, such a waste of space.

Of course, I watched a documentary that solidified my idea of becoming a minimalist. One thing I am so interested in is a capsule wardrobe. For those ladies who can look so chic in 30 articles of clothing, my hat goes off to them. The creativity it takes to not look the same every day. I have been spending so many (way to much) hours on Pinterest looking at women who have a capsule wardrobe. I am so interested in adopting this in my lifestyle. We shall see how it turns out, sometimes I just need a change!

I am here to tell you, I want to be a minimalist… I know it takes baby steps. Here are a few images that has been inspiring me on this journey.

Gray Hoodie

Hi There…

I don’t mean to talk about the weather as often as I do, but I have to say, the weather has been so nice lately. Honestly, I can skip winter every year. How is the weather where you are? img_9407_fotorimg_9373_fotorimg_9402_fotorimg_9327_fotorimg_9398_fotorimg_9341_fotorimg_9394_fotor

I have been wanting this hoodie for a while to wear with one of my leather jackets (outfit coming soon). I decided to keep my look simple today, because sometimes that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. There are a lot of times where I just throw on a hoodie and that’s my outfit. I tend to have more of a casual style, I love to dress up just like anyone else but when you just want to hang out and relax… all you need is a good hoodie. I was on the hunt for the perfect hood and decided to go with the H&M basic hoodie. I don’t shop at H&M to often but I love their basics. Have  you all noticed there clothes are a little more true to size, if not big. Once upon a time I couldn’t figure out what my size wore in there for the life of me.

Just add a Blazer

Yesterday was such a nice day here. It was in the 60s and I was loving it! It made me even more excited for spring!!

Today’s outfit is simple yet well put together. When you add a blazer onto a simple outfit it pulls it all together adding a touch of class and chic-ness! I promise you con never go wrong with this look. If you don’t own a blazer get one. Seriously, all I have on is a long sleeve t-shirt and boots. When you add the blazer voila! I found this blazer last year in Target, yes Target. In my opinion it is a dupe for the JCrew school boy blazer.

Last Minute NYE Outfit

img_6258_fotorimg_6185_fotorimg_6272_fotorimg_6253_fotorimg_6303_fotorimg_6239_fotor

Typically for New Year’s Eve I don’t have very exciting plans, I figured I would share and outfit that I would wear if I were going somewhere but the dress code is more casual. You probably have something like this in your closet as we speak. I have had this shirt forever. I got it from Target a few years ago and never wore it. It is not to dressy but it can still be festive. It only seems right to wear sequins for New Year’s Eve. 😉

I hope you all do have an amazing night, whatever your plans are please be safe!
