Threads of the Day: Plain Jane

Some of my best dressed days are the days where I just “throw something on”. Those days are when I feel most comfortable, confident, and just … myself. Today was one of those days. 

There’s power in style. Look past the brand, how much it cost, where you got it from … if you have style and know how to put an outfit together, you can feel powerful in whatever you wear. 

My kryptonite in a sense are these white “Ked-like” sneakers. I wear them almost everyday lol. They go with everything! The perfect summer staple paired perfectly with jeans, cut off shorts, dresses, skirts, leggings, you name it. Yes, my only gripe is that they get dirty super fast, but lucky for me, the 2 for $30 sneaker deal at Urban Outfitters has me covered ;)

Now I love a great pair of vintage high waisted jeans, or “mom jeans”, as some would call them. I put my skills to work and added a little distressing in just the right places. Remember ladies, you can still be sexy and remain classy at the same time. Sexy doesn’t have to mean “show it all to everyone.” In the near future, I’ll pair these with some strappy sandals and a bustier top for a different approach for a night on the town!

Thread List:

Top: No Style
Jeans: Renae Cut Offs
Sneakers: Urban Outfitters
Necklace: Nasty Gal 

What’s your go-to look that just works every time you “throw it on”?

Threads of the Day: Renae Cut Offs

Yesterday I went to a blogger award reception at Tags Concept Salon for Tastemaker Magazine for the top fashion, style, beauty, and hair bloggers in Atlanta. I am super honored to have been nominated for Top Beauty Blogger and I can’t wait until the actual award show in March! Thanks again to everyone who voted for me, I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you :)

I wanted to keep it cool and chic and decided to rock my Renae Cut Offs to the event! Here are the rest of my outfit details.

Thread List:

Shorts: Renae Cut Offs
Blouse: Thrifted
Coat: Zara
Boots: Truth or Dare by Madonna (These were a super lucky find. I had no idea she even had a shoe line!)
Belt: BCBG
Clutch: Zara 

When rocking short little shorts, I always like to balance it out with a classy top. The shorts and boots added the sex appeal while the classic white blouse and tweed coat kept everything proportioned. It’s all about balance ladies! You can get just as much (positive) attention by keeping it classy! 


Big thanks again to Tastemaker Magazine! 

Threads of the Day: Not So Candid Renae Cut Offs

Sometimes life requires you to push it to the limit.  That’s been my approach to a lot of things lately: when getting dressed every morning, picking up a new skill, and even making major career decisions. Just go for it! 

But taking it back to the closet, it can be fun to push yourself to the limit! In my opinion it’s all about strategy and class. Pick an asset you want to focus on and keep the rest subtle. I chose my legs by rocking a pair of short, distressed Renae Cut Offs and over-the-knee socks. By focusing on my legs, I stayed bundled up on top and kept things simple on my feet.

I was inspired by a street style photo I saw where a girl stacked three different necklaces on making it look like one big statement piece. I loved the idea and gave it a shot with my own little twist! What do you think? Success lol?

As far as my makeup goes, I decided to go with something neutral. Clean face, bronze skin, and a nude lip. Here are some of my favorites I’ve been wearing lately!

-YSL Faux Cils Mascara
-Sonia Kashuk bronzer in Goddess (40)
-Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in “Nude Delight” (642).
-Dolce & Gabbana lipgloss in “Innocence” 
-OPI nail polish in “Khloe Had A Little Lam Lam” (not pictured) 

Can’t exit the scene without my rockstar impression! lol I hope everyone is having a great week!
