PFM Obsession: Black and White

i am usually anything but black and white; i live in the shading between these colors. ...but, recently, i can't seem to get enough of the black and white trend that's popping up everywhere!  whether it's houndstooth or a tribal pattern, i'm on it.  color blocking with black and white can be a great way to tone down brights.  bringing in a solid, bright color is also a perfect way to accent a black and white patterned item. ...or brighten up black and white with colored accessories like a bright shoe and/or bag (and even nails, like i did above).  the possibilities are endless!! 

i'm looking forward to working this color combo into the rest of my summer days and well into the fall! xo sesheta

Daily Outfit: Feminine Fashion + Festivities Part Deux

Becca always makes me laugh!!!

i love baby showers!! this shower was especially sweet because of who it was for: Becca's bestie!  i'm not sure exactly what it is about showers that i love so much... it's probably all the cute little things that the mom-to-be gets as gifts or the fun in seeing her face when they receive a Mavenmini item!  either way, it was the perfect reason for dressing up!

it might have been the event that inspired the soft palette that both Becca and i chose as inspiration for our outfits.  i chose to don this cute mini dress from  Forever 21; the bubble hem works perfectly over leggings.  my vintage leather jacket is another great addition.  i love to throw in leather items to spice things up!  the MF fascinator with peacock feathers and over-sized sunglasses added to the retro vibe but my copper chain earrings added a lil bit of rocker chic!  even more spice!! :)

keeping with this season's resurgence of jewel-tone coats, my J. Crew jacket is the superb way to top it all off.  did i mention that i've had it for 2 years??  just goes to show, even when you don't care to be on trend, good style is timeless!
