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: Coral Pop

there is nothing like neon coral to brighten an outfit and an overcast day!

have i mentioned how much i love neon?  if you have been reading our blog, this shouldn't surprise you at all.  it really does brighten my day, literally and figuratively, to wear neon.  the best part is that fashion trends have finally caught up with my obsession!! i can find sooo many different items to satisfy my neon desires!  what's different than when we were wearing neon in the '80's, is, instead of putting all your neon on in one outfit, to pair it with neutrals like taupe or grey or white even (ooo, how fun), to intensify or subdue the shocking hue.  i am definitely not trying to subdue anything!  that's the other thing you should know about me by now - how i love pops of color!  my cute shirt (thanks to Forever 21) is the perfect pop to my neutral palette.  oh happy day! :)

Daily Outfit: Holiday Casual

 This past weekend I was excited to spend time with family and friends at our annual tree-trimming party. There are so many festive events going on this season, but this one in particular is a favorite of mine. It's thrown by my best friend's parents and started out as an intimate gathering that's grown bigger as each year goes by. This time around we joined about 25 people, 2 cats, and a dog. By now it's become less about decorating the tree and more about eating good food, drinking good wine, and spending time with loved ones. And it was a great reason to bake espresso cupcakes...yum!

I decided to plan my outfit around my cargo pants. I love this slouchy sweater vest, and wanted to keep the rest of the outfit casual but chic by opting for ankle booties and my fringey MavenFresh mobius. It's an easy layered weekend look that's comfortable and fun. What's your comfy go-to for the weekends?

Daily Outfit: Birds of a Feather

some of my favorite MF designs are our feather earrings.  they really speak to the tribal and native vibe that flows through our designs.  i guess i was feeling very bird-like from my earrings to my 'fro-hawk.  which reminds me of the time our friend, Aimee said that she likes to play the game "Fish or Bird?" because she feels like everyone either looks like a fish or a bird.  LOL, when i first heard her say that, i started cracking up; then immediately afterwards, i couldn't help myself from thinking it whenever i saw someone... fish or bird? i mention all of this to say that, when it comes to myself, i guess i would be a bird.  although both birds and fish are colorful and can be beautiful, i see myself as more a creature of air than of water.  my fascination with feathers also helps me lean towards this choice.  then, add my long limbs and big hair... totally bird-like lol.  so my next question is... which one are you?

Daily Outfit: Take a Bow

i just love to mix vintage trends with modern ones.  now that my shopping desires are curbed (yes, money is still tight), i have had to go shopping in my very own collections. i have come across many treasures that still have tons of life left in them.  take this scarf, for instance.  this scarf is a thrift shop find from quite a few years ago.  considering all of the great uses i've gotten out of it and the many years i've owned it, i definitely have gotten my $3 worth!  i have worn it as a belt, a head band, and now, a neck tie.  who knows how i will wear it next!  the great colors just make me happy and i feel ultra chic at the same time.  it took this outfit from blah to wow.  it is the perfect outfit for the office or for shopping on Fifth Avenue. yes, every now and again, this downtown girl can be an uptown girl!  i plan to wear this outfit and this scarf style throughout the fall and winter!

Daily Outfit: Purple Glow

i love these pics despite the fact that i was totally bummed that day.  plans i had fell through and - though i eventually was able to see the positive side- i was feeling blah.  the extra bling i put on that day helped keep me from completely feeling depressed.  if u didn't know, glittery things float my boat (so do feathers, bright colors, bags, shoes... i could go on lol).  this sweater was a super find; i used it to dress up a simple tank and jeans. i really thought that the clogs and feathers added to the "casual chic".  the weather is changing now and that means my jersey scarves are becoming staples in my wardrobe.  did i say i didn't like fall?  ok...well, maybe a little lol.  i do keep it summer all year round by rocking neon nails - this week it's neon mango!
