Daily Outfit: Earth Tones

right in time for the cooler weather, i dug out my jersey scarves and extra layers so that i can look cool but not feel the cool.  as you know, i would much rather have weather in the 80's but, i realized that there are some things in my fall/winter wardrobe that i can't live without. 

1. my MF jersey scarves are life savers when the weather suddenly dips without warning.  They are also the perfect addition to complete an outfit.  this is the season that you will find one either on me or in my bag at all times.  it helps to have them in a bunch of colors but, i must admit, i live in the one above.  they are just so soft and comfy!!
2. my boots - i think i have more pairs of boots than i do flats or any other type of shoe in my collection. i love them low, high or anywhere in-between.  i would definitely miss wearing my boot collection if the weather was always warm.
3. the right coat- whether it's leather or wool, shearling or down, i can appreciate a great coat.  the cool weather makes me excited to pull out my collection.  in the colder seasons, the first thing people see are your coat so why not make a great first impression.  with all the fresh styles and colors, coats are definitely anything but boring!

... so while i am still not ecstatic about colder weather, i am glad that there are at least a few perks that i get to look forward to! xo Sesheta

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.

PFM Confessional: Most Memorable Fashion Moment

my "new" pair of docs

my most memorable fashion moment is when i got my first pair of Doc Martens.  i had a pair of the low steel-toes and i loved them.  getting my Docs was a defining moment for me.  they symbolized so much more than just a new pair of shoes; for me, they symbolized "cool" at one of the best times in my life. 

it was the early '90's and i was in high school in the lower east village.  being a queens girl, it was my first introduction to life in the city.  i was instantly drawn to the village-inspired fashion and the quickest way to be "down" was to get a pair of Docs.  it was the first time i practiced the tried and true method of adding one statement piece to change my whole fashion perspective. oh and it did!  just like that, i looked and felt like i belonged.  ...but i can't think about Docs without thinking about all the time that i spent in the the Village roaming around from 8th street down to W. 4th, walking all over and in between.  i spent hours in the store Unique that used to be on Broadway.  i had countless numbers of Haagen Daz cookies and cream ice cream shakes from 8th street (yes, back when i ate dairy lol).  my girls and i enjoyed people watching (especially watching boys :).  i was young, wild and free.  yes, those were the good ol' days.  looking back, i have to credit this fashion moment as my most memorable and most influential! xo sesheta

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: Sun Spots

this weekend, my sister dubbed me the leggings queen.  when she said it, i thought it was the perfect title lol!  though i don't have tons of leggings, i do have quite a few and they are, by far, the most comfortable thing you can put on for any activity.  while my usual choice has been leggings in bright colors, printed leggings have recently won over my heart!  they bring a bit of the unexpected to any outfit!

i was seeing spots when i chose to wear this pair.  i usually love to style them with a bright tunic top but today i chose to bring in color by wearing my sunshine-inspired lightcatchers and bright pink lips!  how fun!  

whether you wear printed leggings or denim, this trend is right on target! love it!
