Daily Outfit: Feminine Fashion + Festivities Part Un

My very best friend is having a baby! Yep, a little bundle of boy will soon be joining our close circle and let me tell you he will have a lot of aunties that love him! Sesheta and I both had the pleasure of being guests at her baby shower; of course when there's lots of females in attendance, fashion is always on the menu. It's no surprise that our outfits completely complemented each other, right down to the color story. Not at all pre-planned, but us PFMs are always on that same style wavelength! You will just have to wait till tomorrow to see Sesheta's fab outfit...to be continued.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny fall day, and temperatures were on the warm side- perfect for lightweight tights with lots of leg. I wanted to wear something feminine and fun, so I opted for soft colors and ruffly tiers. The olive tights were the final addition to the color combo of peach, plum, and taupe. I love to mix and match... and my favorite fall coat complimented the look oh so well. Have to tell you that I've been on the hunt for an affordable lace-up wedge bootie in a neutral color. Ladies, that search is over thanks to Zara. These lil bootie beauties are getting compliments left and right; in fact my co-worker just placed an online order for her new pair yesterday. Did we mention that Sesheta and I are here for your personal shopping pleasure?

Don't know about you but I look at every event as a fun fashion opportunity to dig in my closet and come up with a never-worn-before combination. I am sure that many of you readers have found yourselves at that point in life when the invites for showers, engagement parties, and wedding rehearsals are pouring in. Do you stress over what to wear to these celebrations? Instead of running out and thinking you have to spend money on something new, take a long look in your closet. I can pretty much guarantee that you already own something that is perfect for the occasion, but just needs a little tweaking to make it look fresh. Remember that expensive dress you bought for the last event? Well, wear it- but change up the accessories or shoes and layer a different cardigan or blazer on top. You can make something look brand new again and I promise no one will be the wiser. And then you will save your money for that new handbag you were lusting after!

Stumped by style? Let us know, we are more than happy to chat.

Daily Outfit: Fall Prelude

I gotta say that there is something about the recent drop in temperature that makes me a little bit giddy. Overall I am a warm-weather girl who likes to be borderline sweaty hot. But take note... I do enjoy the transition into fall, only when it creeps in slowly and gently. And then you get to sip warm cappuccinos, eat as much hot soup as you want, and wear clog booties. Yesterday was in the 60s; totally not necessary to wear tights, but I was feelin it! My booties were a coveted online purchase from back in January- I scored them on sale from Madewell. I've worn them with everything from maxi skirts to leggings to jeans. Staple items like that are so much fun.

The change in season has me thinking about a getting a fresh new haircut...and these 3 places in the city look fab. Being that my stylist is out on maternity leave I might just try someplace new and splurge! Hmmm....

Daily Outfit: Nude Glow

 

Hello Friday! It's been a jam-packed work week and I can't wait to catch up with close girlfriends for a relaxing dinner tonight. And some vino!

And now on to my outfit- I've searching for a while for a nude color floaty chiffony skirt to take me from end of summer through winter. Yup I saw all the versions over at American Apparel, but they just didn't do it for me. I almost caved in and bought (a really expensive) one from Anthro, but my wallet and conscience were telling me to run the other way. Good things come to those who wait! I recently found this purty skirt in Macys on sale for $25. After throwing down my trusty store credit, it was free. YAY! I had the urge to kick and twirl in this outfit, especially when the little silver studs on my top were shimmering in the light. I put my hair into a high ballerina bun topped with my sparkly Vintage Applique headband. It has a little touch of peach-nude in it to compliment the skirt. Did I mention I like glittery things?

Daily Outfit: Sunset Vintage

As the summer winds down, I like to dive into my closet and get one last wear out of certain pieces that might not make an appearance until next spring. These shorts have a paperbag waist and a vintage-inspired style that I love. Honestly I may just end up wearing these all year around with tights and clog booties! I removed the belt that came with the shorts and added in a studded skinny belt for a ladylike touch with a little bling. This flowy patterned top was just begging to be tucked in, and of course I always need a pop of color to up the pow-factor. A friend told me I look ready for fall in this outfit. But bold colors make me feel like summer will never have to end! I added my gold MavenFresh Strands earrings to bring in a bit of modern glam for contrast. This outfit can easily take me from a work day to a summer evening. Or more specifically, from the office to my couch at home where I will be happily catching up on some good HGTV shows!

Daily Outfit: Partly Cloudy

i wasn't feeling partly cloudy when i put on this outfit but i have really been into little pops of color in styling.  trust me, i am such a color girl that the idea of only have a small pop of color is so unusual for me.  it's just that the introduction of nudes and neutrals have really grabbed my fashion attention.  my shirt is such a heavenly shade of cloud gray that it works perfectly with my MavenFresh cookies & cream triangle scarf especially when paired with my denim leggings.  my scarf and headband are the main focus of my outfit so i wore silver studs in my ears to not add confusion.  my MF headband was really the inspiration for the outfit name; i just loved this shade of mango orange yellow that it reminded me of the sun peaking out of the clouds...ha ha get it?? lol -sesheta
