Costumes in Your Closet


Hey everyone!

So guess what tomorrow is? Yup, Halloween! Where did the time go? In just a few months it's gonna be the new year which is crazy to think about. Feels like just yesterday we were entering 2014 but now I'm getting off topic.

Since tomorrow is Halloween, it's time to get hashtag cray with the costumes. But then there's those people who wait last minute to get a costume and can't find anything or those people who don't wanna spend moola *coughcoughMEcoughcough* but still wanna be something. I've come up with a few ideas where you can literally wear clothes from your closet and voila you got yourself a costume.

Leather Weather

Hello loves, how are you? 

For this look, I went edgy which has definitely taken over the fashion scene this year (I'm convinced it has to do with Kylie Jenner's stylo). What really makes this is an "edgy" look are two pieces: my jacket and plaid shirt. With the jacket, I feel like every person should have a go-to leather jacket, it adds that right pop to anything. They're like chameleons but since mine has collars, it has a rocker vibe. And as for plaid shirt, I buttoned it up all the way to the top cause that's how it looked best with the necklace. You could also leave it open and have a cool graphic tee under. It's not so hardcore though cause I added some glam to it aka my necklace and my lip color, a vibrant berry color. But yeah, here's some pictures of my outfit in detail. Enjoy!

Sporty Chic


Hello everyone! It's been a while, like a really long while. Happens when you get caught up with life. So summer is over which means FALL IS HERE! The best season of the year. I'm glad I live in an area where we actually have a fall. You know, the leaves start to change, it gets breezy but not freezing and the highlight, fashion kills it this season. I think it has to do with all the layering we get to do but not over do it like in the winter where you gotta wear a million layers to be warm. 

But I'm here to talk about coats cause I feel like every person needs a go to coat once it starts to get a little chilly. Recently, when I went shopping I found the one. It really sucked though cause I didn't want to buy anything lol but it was just calling my name. 



This is a Michael Kors coat and the reason I adore it is cause of the details. As you can see, the sleeves are leather while the body is wool which is super convenient cause that means I get to use it in the winter too! The length of it would help me stay extra toasty too. I realized I've become a fan of the lengthy jacket these past few years. Anyway, I know leather sleeves are kinda blah since everyone has a jacket with them but the ends are so beautiful with the criss cross effect, it add that oomph. But it looks like the leather sleeves are making a comeback this season too. 


Aside from the detail, this coat is like a chameleon. It's formal but not too formal, depending on how you style it. As you can tell, I played it down (which is the story of my life) with my Nike Roshe's but the coat doesn't make my outfit look too casual. And I wore all black too, shocker! I decided to dress super simple cause I wanted my coat to be the statement piece in this case. Here's a close up of the outfit:

The comfiest shoes on the planet.

Evil eye necklaces are becoming super trendy too. I forgot the brand-name of it
but I got it at TJ Maxx (hashtag maxxinista).
This post was super short but I'm gonna get back on track especially since this is my favorite season for fashion and. I'm probably gonna do a weekly OOTD and I've been trying to come up with other things as well so stay tune!
