Daily Outfit: Layer Cake

there are so many things that i find fun about dressing every day.  i love putting on glittery, blingy things as well as bright colored things.  Also high up on my list are things with ruffles.  this skirt, which is a staple in my wardrobe, satisfies the last category.  not only is it ruffle-y, it has layers of ruffles!  this comfy sweater also added some layers to my ruffles.  just to make sure that i didn't get lost in all the layers, i added my skinny belt to accentuate my waist.  i enjoyed wearing this because of how comfortable it was, especially with my jersey mobius and Uggs!   i even got to have fun coordinating my make-up with my fancy feather earrings.  ahh, every outfit should be this easy... :)

PFMs on the Town: IFB Con, Take 2

at this year's IFB Con, we were far from the only fashionistas in the house.  it was truly inspiring to be amongst other talented artists - including designers, social media execs, and tons of fashion and style bloggers - all gathered to learn the top tips for achieving a successful blog.  it felt right on to be networking with others, like us, who share a love of fashion.  we have already incorporated a few things that we've learned (have you noticed any thing new?) and plan to make even more changes in the near future.  so stay tuned!

Daily Outfit: Purple Princess

i had a co-worker tell me that i looked like a princess in my outfit.  i laughed in response because i don't think i thought "princess" as i got dressed but, hey, i can roll with it! :)  that is how i was dubbed "purple princess".  it might have been this long, flow-y skirt that got her feeling a royal vibe (not to mention the royal color), but i was inspired by comfort, as usual, and this outfit did the trick!  don't be fooled by the maxi skirt or the tulle bow, this princess has edge!  under my trusty Northface is my leather motorcycle jacket that i added for this exact reason - for edge as well as office warmth.  i completed the look with a Wheels & Dollbaby tank, my bamboo hoops and studded cuff (not shown) and this princess was ready to go! :)

btw -if you remember, i believe it's absolutely mandatory that every skirt and dress get the twirl test (refresh on the twirl test here).  i also had fun doing the can-can ( my boots and skirt made me feel straight out of the saloon lol).  though i've had this skirt for ages (it's a vintage find from long ago), i'm not sure if i was aware that it had such great spinnage (i think i've coined a new word lol)!  actually, i've had it for so long that it's more likely that i forgot just how well it passed the test!

PFM Styling: Fur Vest & Denim, Take 2

 

I'm back with another fuzz 'n denim remix that's pretty different from Tuesday's ensemble. Taking inspiration from the ladies over at Eat Sleep Denim, I thought it would be fun to create a second look based on two key pieces: a fur vest, and a denim dress. Ok, so technically this is my tunic-length denim button-down, but it does cover my bum... hmmm we shall call it a denim shirt-dress. I have a thing about combining girly and tough items; it's all about the lace leggings with motorcycle boots. Winter is here and we should all be embracing our opportunity to feel no pain and layer fashionably!

Let's cue ESD's winterizing tips...and now for how my look got worked:

 Get your girly-rocker on by layering a long denim button-down over a mini dress or tunic top with printed leggings (go for something feminine like lace, dots, or florals.) Add a fur vest and biker boots. Take it further with a leather cuff, studded handbag, or chunky chain earrings.

Which outfit did you like best? If you don't have a fur vest in your wardrobe, are you now considering getting one? It's no surprise that I'd love to have another...the options are endless!
