Frugal Friday: Solid+Print

Hi all,

We all know prints have been buzzing the fashion scene for quite some time now and everyone is doing or attempting to do it. Most of the time we see print on print styling(which if done right could be eye candy. Stay tuned for mine ;)). Today I bring you  (drum roll) solid+ print. It is extremely easy to try out and get a WIN with the look almost all the time. As long as you know how to put colors together well- without looking like a clown, you are good to go. Now I always say, when in doubt, always go with white or black(the best and easiest colors out there).

The look below can easily be transitioned from work to night time(as you have noticed, I love transitional pieces).

Strappy sandals to go out at night, or a pump heel to head to both work and night out. A blue or black blazer will go just well with it also. Simple accessories to complete the look.






                                     
Skirt--$15 --Zara
Top--$10--TJMaxx
Shoes--$19.99--Zara 
Necklace-- Gifted (DIY)
Marc Jacobs Watch -- $80 ---TJMaxx
Studs-- $0.99 -- thrifted

As always, please feel free to share your thoughts and comment below :)

Frugal Friday: Tarjay all the way!

Hello all,

So I was in Target, which by the way is one of my FAVES because their designer collaborations are always on point, looking for some workout leggings and stumbled upon this lovely Phillip Lim for Target frock. I thought it was perfect for work because it added some fun to my closet  while still allowing me to be chic for drinks after.


Add some cute accessories to make it pop and you're good to go!

Phillip Lim for Target Dress-- $19.98--- Target
BCBGeneration Shoes-- Under $20 (forgot the price) -- Macy's
Zara Bag-- $19.99-- Zara
Necklace-- $3.00-- Thrift Store

Not bad, right?

Stay chic, look kente

Frugal Friday: A Little Lace Dress

Frugal Friday posts gives you, our readers, a chance to enter into our closets and browse through our new finds. 
This past weekend, a friend and I went into Zara to take a last look at its final sale items. As soon as I walked in, I saw this lace dress hiding behind several dresses. Of-course I ran and grabbed it. Anyone who knows me knows that I love anything lace. There is something so sexy yet classy about wearing the right lace attire. Lucky enough, the dress I picked up was right on point, it was my size and the price was within my budget. Outfit ideas were already roaming through my mind as I tried it on. Since it is a simple LBD(little black dress), I figured I'd style it with immense simplicity adding pops of color(I always have to add pops of color in any outfit I wear). 
See below on how I would potentially style my lace LBD. 


 Blue and black always looks good together

Dress: Zara- $19.99
Shoes: Zara (gifted)
Bag: Alice & Olivia (by way of TJMaxx)- &29.99

Frugal Friday: Hurry up spring

I love, love Nordstrom Rack and so I went this weekend and ended up finding these cute DVF for Current/Elliot Jeans and a casual Topshop shirt and they were right within my budget! Yayy!






Topshop Shirt: $9.97
                                                             DVF for Current/ Elliot Jeans: $19.90

Pair it with a nice statement necklace, like this one (h&m $12.95) and some strappy heels (Steve Madden) and I think I'm ready for spring. 70 degree weather, where are you?!
