The Weekender

I believe in taking it easy on Sundays. I believe in easy to wear outfits such as one piece rompers. I believe in the freedom of choice to not wear make-up or style your hair. Thank God for baseball caps to cover up all of that "freedom".

On humid days like this particular Sunday, I like to keep my style simple and low key. A trick I like to do is wear something that can be instantly transformed from "no effort casual" to "casual glam". My one piece romper for instance is simple yet stylish. Depending on how you pair you accessories with this romper will determine how your overall look comes off. I paired my baseball cap and fringe purse with this one piece to play it "no effort casual". But say I wanted to grab lunch with a friend; I would simply chuck my cap, flip my hair a little and be on my way looking "casual glam". It's crazy how one thing can completely transform an outfit! I find this trick to be most effective on basic items such as; basic T- shirts with jeans or leggings, basic camisoles with shorts or even just a one piece romper. Simple pieces of clothing that are ordinary at first glance, but can be instantly transformed with accessories. But, let's not forget; no matter what you wear, OWN IT and make no apologies! Accessories or not, YOU make the outfit, not the other way around.

Thanks for spending your Sunday with me, loves!

Until next time,

Retro Vibes

Something about the summer makes me want to listen to certain genres of music: The Temptations, Jimi Hendrix, The Supremes, and even some " Doo Wop" songs. Even though the late 60's, early 70's is way before my time, I have much admiration for that era. That time had so many changes going on and people were finding their voices and not taking anything less than what they felt they were owed. But, let's be frank here; that generation had some pretty sick fashion moments too! Bell bottoms, platforms, fringe, costume jewelry, etc. It's easy to get carried away with the "Retro" look when putting an outfit together because the overall look starts to get a mind of it's own. For instance; my outfit started off with my bell bottoms. They obviously have a bohemian feel to them so I just played from there. I went for a high-low grey shirt because I wanted to wear something that was going to be cohesive with my look, but not compete with my pants. From there, I just went with the flow (pun intended) and grabbed my fringe yellow necklace, my headband, my Jackie O inspired sunglasses and carried on.  My fringe grey leather purse you've seen me wear in a couple of my previous posts was something I just gravitated towards to complete this look. And finally, the sandals I kept simple because like I said about my shirt, I didn't want anything to compete with my pants. Honestly, I put ZERO thought into this outfit. It put itself together, I swear!! I guess a free spirit came over me (last pun).

Thank you guys for your continued support and for tuning in. I can't thank you guys enough!

Until next time,
