Daily Outfit: Neon Animal

there is nothing better than fridays except maybe a friday off from work!! despite my desire to get up and out to do things on my day off, all i want to do is nothing! so far, mission accomplished lol. but i thought i would share this perfect friday outfit - ready for the office but playful enough to transition to a night on the town.  accented with a MF pearl cluster necklace and the outfit is complete.  

hope you have a great friday whatever you are doing, on the job, at the beach or on the couch like me! xo sesheta

Daily Outfit: Hippie Legs

i must say that one of the major benefits of crocheting is making your own legwarmers!  this blast from the past accessory is the perfect highlight to my everyday outfit.  it doesn't take much to put these on display, especially when worn with these cute retro pumps (a b-day gift from my Mommy).  i picked up one of the bright colors from the yarn with my violet shirt and the rest just fell into place.  in order to keep the eye drawn to the right places, my basic black skinny jeans and color block blazer were the right compliment.  if this outfit wasn't retro enough, my fave headband pushed it over the edge.   though i call this outfit hippie legs, it really does draw from styling from the 60's, 70's, 80's and now.  just another example of how certain styles are timeless!

PS. many of our sales are made once someone sees an item in action and styled for everyday.  another one of our best clients quickly placed an order for a pair of legwarmers similar to these after she saw me wearing them.  (Yay, Jaz!) today is actually her b-day, maybe she had one last chance to rock her new pair of legwarmers before the warm weather comes to stay!  :)

Fresh Out Of The Workshop: Black Mamba Necklace

It's here, it's here! Something that I'm very excited to introduce- a mixed media piece born out of our love of crochet work and sparkly details... the Black Mamba Necklace. All of these contrasting materials are working in harmony to create something unique and modern with a boho vibe. Plus the namesake Black Mamba knew how to kick ass and rock black & yellow fashion like no one's business ha!

Now more than ever we are seeing chunky, bold statement necklaces being worn with everything from flannel button downs to v-neck tees, and it only goes to show this style ain't just for evening anymore!  This classic neutral combo of black 'n gold will be a wardrobe staple, and it happens to be a favorite mix of ours. If anyone owns a luxe black leather handbag with gold hardware, then you know exactly what I mean! 

I've been wearing mine on it's own and also layered up with another longer necklace from my collection. I can definitely foresee many different versions of this style in both necklaces and bracelets coming to fruition in the near future...inspiration is a beautiful thing!!!

Daily Outfit: Peaches and Green

No, it's not loco legs - just showing off my swedish hasbeens clogs lol

it ain't easy being green but it sure is fun to be neon peach! i have a secret to share - i loved this shirt so much when i saw it in the J.Crew store that i had to have it.  the best part about it was that it was a super steal and not cause it was on sale, but because i nabbed it from the kids section.  yes, i actually purchased something from the Crewcuts line that was for me!  now, i'm gonna get flack for this because not everyone is small enough to fit into the largest kid size, but this is something that works for me.  i'm not super busty and that has it's pluses and minuses - this just happens to be a time when it's a plus!  i am uber obsessed with the color neon peach which seems to be isolated to J. Crew.  the funny thing is that it is probably supposed to be a subdued way for their usual customers to work in the neon that has been seen in recent trends.  for me, it's another neon shade to add to my collection! lol  it is the perfect pop of color to add to utilitarian neutrals like army green.  

Becca asked for tried and trues and this is one of mine.  this is an easy way to look fun and chic all at once!

Daily Outfit: Beautiful B-Girl

crazy me lol

vintage design - my nefer necklace and it's jingle bells

i am totally saddened that the warm weather days are dwindling.  since i know my days of easy dressing are coming to an end till next spring, i am trying to take full advantage of the days i have left.  there is nothing more fabulous than being submerged in a color.  today's choice - kelly green.  this color (all bright colors actually) makes me so happy.  i also feel confident and chic without much effort at all. to make this dress office appropriate, i paired it with a rare thrift shop find - a matte silver sequin tube top.   the color of the dress inspired me to bring out one of my vintage necklace designs (created before MavenFresh was born).  the ancient egyptian "nefer" symbol on it means beautiful and that's exactly how it makes me feel.  the bells at the end of the necklace's fringe add a sweet soundtrack to every step i make!  i also brought out a vintage Tasha West design (one of my talented designer friends) - these asymmetrical leather earrings are light as well as the perfect compliment to the necklace. my turquoise adidas track jacket is an addition that's fun and also functional; you know, i gotta let my inner b-girl shine! :)
