Fall Overload

I really went all out on the fall colors for this outfit. I knew I wanted to wear this new blazer/jacket from H&M but it was kind of cold so I added the scarf and thermal underneath and voila! Fall overload!

Admittedly this was a few weeks ago. I just moved in with Mary a few weeks ago and I'm still getting everything put in its place so I haven't really been on top of my fashion game. My next post is going to be something fun that me and Mary did together, so stay tuned for that! :)

Blazer: H&M

Thermal: Target

Jeans: BDG, from Urban Outfitters

Scarf: The Gap

Boots: River Island

Ring: H&M

Opposites Attract

For some reason when I wear a very feminine outfit, I feel the need to go in the opposite direction the next day. Example: these outfits. I love both, but if I had to choose to be more feminine or more masculine in how I dress, there's no doubt that I tend to gravitate towards my more masculine pieces. I just feel more myself in some kick-ass boots, black leather jacket, and jeans. What pieces do you feel most comfortable in?

PS - introducing my new hair color! The cooler seasons always make me want darker hair. :)

(no idea why it looks slightly purple in the first outfit photos..it's not purple) 

Leather Jacket: AE, from TJ Maxx

Dress: Forever 21

Tights: TJ Maxx

Scarf: H&M..I think?

Necklace: H&M

Boots: Zappos.com

 "Leather" Jacket: Zara

Gray Top: TJ Maxx

Red Shirt & Pants: H&M

Boots: Fergie(yeah, I was surprised too), DSW

Brights & Stripes

My, doesn't this color combination look familiar? Apparently I wasn't done with the whole yellow-green & blue combo quite yet. I changed it up by adding some stripes and a new blazer from Forever 21. I already have a black blazer, but this one has awesome gold buttons...totally different so I obviously had to get it.

About these pants.. I absolutely love the color of them, but I wouldn't recommend buying them. They stretched out like crazy. I was practically holding them up by the end of the day. Bit of a bummer.

PS - This is my last post with lighter hair. Stay tuned for my new fall do!

PPS - I won my first giveaway today!! I won this dress from Kate of O My Heart. Thanks Kate, can't wait to style it!

Blazer: Forever 21

Striped Top: Old Navy

Pants: H&M

Boots: Diba via DSW (SO old, need to be replaced badly..they hardly have soles)

Bracelets: Forever 21

Silk Scarf: Present from the travel agency we used in Vietnam

This or that?

Just a few things I've been trying to decide between... 

A perfect coat to transition from fall to winter:

                                        ASOS Premium Wool & Leather Parka  OR  ASOS Navajo Pattern Parka

 Shoes at TJ Maxx begging me to take them home:

           Sam Edelman Etiene Slip-On Loafer  OR  DV by Dolce Vita Paloma Bootie in Black

  ($50)                                                                                               ($60)

So hard to choose! Which ones would you pick?

Navy Over Neon

Funny story about this outfit: right after I put it on and was happy with it, I looked at the floor of my bedroom and saw the shirt I wore the day before...3/4 sleeve top from Forever 21 that's navy with yellow-green sleeves..the exact color of this sweater. I basically subconsciously copied the shirt I wore the day before. Hahah whoops. Oh well, I still like how it came out :)

Vest: Sears (randomly walked past it, and it was on sale for $7 or something like that..score!)

Sweater: Zara (probably more like "Zara" considering I bought it in Vietnam at a market)

Jeans: BDG, from Urban Outfitters

Boots: Nine West Vintage

Necklace: Forever 21

What's in my purse?

I've talked about my youtube channel briefly on my blog, and I thought some of you might find this video interesting if you're a super curious person like me. If you're into the whole youtube beauty/fashion community you know that there's a TON of 'What's in my bag?' videos out there. I always love watching them, so I thought I'd do one of my own! If you're not interested in what's in my purse, there's a quick outfit of the day at the end too. I also thought posting a video would be a fun change from just photos on here :)

Sheer Love

For some reason, these leggings get a lot of looks every time I wear them. It's not exactly normal to have (faux) leather paneling on leggings, but are they really that different?? I'm always so surprised at just how many people stare at these things! Whether they're staring because they love them or hate them, I love these leggings so much. They're just a great way to spice up any simple outfit.

I think this top is now my third or fourth sheer button up top. They're so easy to throw on for a warmer fall day. And I told you I couldn't stop wearing these boots. They go with everything. Can't stop, won't stop.

Also, thanks to my mom who took these in the middle of making dinner because the sun was going down super fast. Thanks mom!
