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!

Daily Outfit: Cozy Up

The weather was cold, rainy and blustery. So the look was comfortable, cozy, and easy. Times like these make me throw on a pair of leggings (Rachel Pally makes the most soft, comfy printed versions), and mix it up with a slouchy tunic and a cozy knit cardigan. This tiered tunic dress was a great find in the lounge/sleepwear section on sale...who's to say you can't wear your pajamas to work? There are a few pieces in my wardrobe that you may see and think hmmm that looks very familiar. That's because being the fashion mavens that we are, Sesheta and I often end up with duplicate purchases. Sometimes we are conscious of it, but lots of times it just happens. Fashion fate! We both own these leggings in several different prints; it's all about feeling comfortable and fabulous!

Daily Outfit: Beachy Keen

Saturday may have been the last real beach day before the weather starts cooling down and I was determined to make the most of it. Can't let the partly sunny-partly cloudyness get me down! I bring you my beach casual outfit. Nothing like a super soft flowy Rachel Pally maxi dress for a late summer day. Add a straw hat and I am ready to go. My man and I cruised down to the beach to check out the last of the Quiksilver Pro festivities...and to wiggle my toes in the sand as much as possible. We even got to see some of the amazingly talented girls of the Roxy team in action. Followed it up with a late lunch at the local creperie- I love days like this!

All in all, it's been such a lovely summer that went by too fast. And remember when I told you earlier that surfing is something that I have never ever tried? Well a couple of weeks ago I entered this contest at my yoga studio to win a surfboard and a prize package from ZICO and guess what? Is karma trying to tell me something? I don't know if I was more excited about the win or that Joseph Encinia ( 2011 World Yoga Champion) posed with us for the pic! Side note: please ignore the fact that I am a sweaty mess... the reps presented me with the board AFTER class was finished. How convenient! Haha thanks to ZICO and to my friends at Bikram Yoga LB! The studio is beautiful, the people who work there will become your friends, and trust me, it will change your life. Go there now.

Daily Outfit: Loco Legs

i think i can blame the late hour or maybe it is just my love of children's television.  it definitely doesn't hurt that i have a 3 year old who helps me stay current.  one of his favorite shows is the Fresh Beat Band.  i can't even lie - the first time i saw this show, i was mesmerized by the music and catchy lyrics.  well, my outfit today and the silly time i had with snappin pics, reminded me of one of the best songs from this show - Loco Legs.  one of the main characters is so excited to perform at school, his legs start to move all crazy-like, hence the name loco legs lol.  some may say that leggings have run their course as a fashion trend but i'm not giving mine up just yet.  wearing leggings in an awesome print like these from Rachel Pally (a super find on eBay) are a great way to add edgy and comfort to your day.  i have really long legs so the leggings accentuate their length.  it totally inspired my loco leg poses :).  i paired the leggings with an off-the-shoulder tunic top and though i was super comfy today, i still looked put together. my clog sandals help to dress up the look and it didn't hurt to have my strands II earrings (one of my personal MF faves) and my black tulle bow headband (freshly made) to bring it all together! i got, i got, i got loco legs! (that's for all the mommys out there lol).
