Outfit #1

This is an easy go to outfit for all occasions. I put this outfit together for church. Black has slowly become one of my favorite colors because it's one color that will never go out of style. Plus it looks good on everyone!

From my closet:

• A Black Piko: pikoshirts.com - Only 20$ - This is the cheapest I've seen them. I've also been lucky enough to find some at Plato's Closet.
• American Eagle White Skinny Jeans: I couldn't find these exact skinny jeans, but I got them at the American Eagle Outlet. I got them for only $20, which is good for American Eagle jeans. You can also wear your favorite pair of white jeans or you can do any color you like or even just your favorite skinny jeans.
• TOMs Wedge : I got these for Christmas, but I love them! They come in many different colors. TOMs can be a little pricey so I found a pair of black wedges from DSW that look the same!
• The cardigan is from the LOFT outlet. You can really pair this outfit with any cardigan.
• I love layering necklaces and you can really do it with all necklaces, so don't be afraid to try something different. Who knows you might start a new trend!

First Post

     I have been wanting to start a fashion blog for the longest time and I figured what am I waiting for? I am currently in college with a Business major, but my goal is to graduate with a Fashion Marketing degree in hopes of becoming an assistant buyer for a company like Macy's or Ralph Lauren. That would be my dream job and isn't that what life is about achieving our dreams?

     I have learned the key to being happy and successful in life is you need to find something you love and are passionate about. You can't let anyone stop you or tell you differently because at the end of the day you have to live with the choices you've made.

     "But as for you, be strong and courageous, for your work will be rewarded."
2 Chronicles 15:7

                                                   

     If you stick to what you believe in then good things will come. You just have to be patient!

     This isn't going to be just any fashion blog. It's a blog about how to have that high-end look everyone wants but no one wants to pay for. I thought this was a good idea because most of my closet if not all of it comes from consignment shops, second hand stores, and I always buy things on sale. Now, don't get me wrong I love that smell of a brand new Michael Kors bag but I will never pay the full retail price. Always wait for a sale to happen so you can get some money off that bag you've always wanted. I currently work in retail and I have learn how much they raise the price of an item just to get the most profit, but in reality they know it's truly not worth that much.

     I hope this blog helps you understand that you can achieve that high-end wardrobe by shopping at places like Goodwill! No one has to know where you bought it! Just let them think you paid the full price for it, it'll be our secret! ;)
