24. Cigarette Pants

Scarf: H&M $12.50, Sweater: Gap $8 + gf, Purse: Old Navy $5

Pants: Gap $30, Shoes: Spring $20, Earrings: Aldo $2

Project 100

At first I wanted to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn and wear all black but it was not working on my silhouette so I went for pattern mixing instead with a pop of color. The tell-tale of the Cigarette Pants is it hits right above the ankle and is tapered at the bottom. So I don't know if you have noticed that polka-dots have literally exploded onto the fashion scene this Fall, they are everywhere! And.... I am loving it. I'm thinking about trying out polka dot pants... too much?

2. Animal Print

Coat: Luii via Winners: $35, Necklace: Swarovski: gifted, Jeans: AEO: $35,
Shoes: Aldo $25, Purse: Aldo $15, Watch: Aldo: $30

Project 100

Turns out I have a lot of animal print in my closet, I must be a fan or something. I found it on earrings, cardigans, purses, coats, belts, the list goes on. The point is don't be afraid of animal print. It is such a fun way to spice up an outfit. When I found this coat I wasn't sure if it was to loud but these days animal print is basically a neutral so have fun with it!

Today I Adore {some} Advertisements

Who would've ever thought a blue purse could be so versatile! I use this purse any chance I get! I am basically obsessed with it and I hope it never becomes passé! Anyways, did any of you check out the Superbowl yesterday? I think it was the first game I actually sat down and watched the whole thing {while hand sewing cuffs on a shirt but oh well it counts}, it was a pretty good game. BUT there were a few advertisements that I really loved... the M&M one? PLEASE tell me someone else died laughing at that little M&M shaking his stuff :) Loved it.

Well my outfit today was actually inspired by an outfit Kyra Sedgwick wore to one of the award shows last year {I'm sorry I couldn't find a pic!} but she wore this gorgeous coral/orange gown with blue accessories and it was love at first sight! I wish I could dress in this color combo everyday but that would probably get a little redundant.

Wearing:

Blazer: Forever 21 - $25.80

Shirt: Old Navy - $4.70

Jeans: AEO - $35.00

Boots: Famous Footwear - $50.00

Well it's the beginning of a new week and you guys, I have a good feeling about it. I hope you have a great monday!

P.S. Tell me, what did you adore today?

For your enjoyment :)

Today I Adore Chanel.

Obviously I don't actually own any authentic Chanel {maybe one day... but probably not} but I just finished reading a book about her life so I decided to throw on my most Chanel-like threads. I have a quilted purse that I should've used because Chanel didn't really believe in the "pop" of color like I do but... I made it my own :)

She was a pretty impressive woman, she wasn't the kindest but she always followed her heart and didn't apologize for it and I can respect that. Chanel was also an opportunist, she wasn't afraid of taking a chance and trying something new. I was inspired in more than my dress after I finished reading it. It's amazing what we can learn from someone else's life!

Wearing:

Jacket: bycorpus. - $25.00

Blouse: Old Navy - $10.00

Belt: Joe Fresh - $2.50

Flares: GAP - $19.99

Necklace: ALDO - $5.00

Watch: ALDO - $35.00

Bangle: Claires - $1.00

Purse: ALDO - $25.00

Shoes: Payless - gifted

I have to say this is my favorite kind of outfit, I feel my very best when I dress like this. If only everyday this was appropriate or possible.. Maybe one day?
