Too Genius

I'm always talking so much shit about moving out of Florida, with absolutely no idea how I'm supposed to handle an actual winter. Here are some photos of me dramatically throwing on several coats for our most recent cold front. 

My inner Animal Planet nerd shrieked when I discovered that Coach introduced this Sharky tote. Camo print AND a shark?! Yes here take my money please. 

You can always catch me in either a pair of sneakers or a chunky heel. These babies were made for walking around and they go with almost everything in my closet. Perfect for these fake Florida winters.

I came so close to leaving this shirt on the rack at Zara. I'm tiny so oversized shirts can be tricky for me, as much as I love them. Luckily I came to my senses and snatched it while on sale, and I'm so glad I did because it is perfect for layering. 

Fun fact: my eyesight is quite shitty. I messed around and wore my last pair of contacts for an eternity, so now I'm stuck wearing glasses until my new order comes in. It's so annoying feeling my glasses on my face all day! To my fellow blind people; do you prefer contacts or glasses?

EXTRA

I don't care how cheesy graphic/font tees get, I'll always be a fan. I mean come on, what better way to rock a plain white tee than to plaster the word "extra" on it? 

So I know that with Zara, the pants (specifically jeans) can be hit or miss, especially if you're working with some curves. But I will say that their leggings have not disappointed myself or my hips yet. These are perfect for me because I always want a touch of detail; yes even on a "plain" staple like leggings. The stripe down the side was what won me over this time around. Not to mention that cozy factor (checks off all boxes). 

I got these beauties from Nine West years ago, and they are still the best boot investment I've made to date. They're versatile enough for my random sense of style that goes from girly to tomboy depending on my mood. Guys, I cannot have nice things because I am a hot mess, and these babies have withstood years of my crazy ass. Definitely worth every penny. 

SIDE NOTE: This day ended with this gorgeous Fenty lip all over my white shirt. I'm still working on the whole makeup thing *shrugs*

Clearly my shirt had me feeling like I needed to pose extra hard.

Sunglasses have become my favorite accessory. I do what I can when I'm in the mood for some bling with rings and necklaces, but for me the most fun and funky shades can completely change the mood of an outfit.

Yellow Palms

It's October! *insert spooky emojis here*

Only thing is, I'm in Florida. So while I would LOVE to be wearing a pair of boots with a cool jacket, I'll be thankful for the sun combined with these warm walls in my palm print skirt. Especially after the temperamental weather we've been having recently. 

As usual, I used a splash of color mixed with print to celebrate a day off with my good friend while exploring our city. Get used to it; I feel like the prints are going to be my thing foreverrr. *CARDI B VOICE*

Listen I'm not here to fake the funk with you guys, I am the queen of recycling different pieces for my outfits. The only things in this photo that I haven't owned for at least two years now are these fabulous and comfy heels from Target. I try to consider all the different ways that I can wear one piece before I invest in it, so you will see me shamelessly showing you a lot of the same pieces on here, in reimagined ways each time.  Your girl loves to get fly but let's be real, bills exist *nervous laugh*. 

I've been in cozy girl mode, but it feels great to throw on some heels and lipstick every now and then. I'm either dying for my couch and sweats or ready to slay the streets. Those are my two moods. Today we saw some successful slay.

Off Duty

A day off where I actually have the energy to get cute?! I was definitely about it today. I'm in heels 40 hours a week so I will avoid them if I can outside of work (aside from the random days when I'm feeling fierce). I paired this ultra comfy green dress with a fun cross body bag, which gave it a bit more of a cozy summer dress vibe that didn't require too dressy of a shoe.

Btw if you know me you know I love a good bookstore, this little place off of Park Ave. is one of my favorites! 

Rainy Days

Lately, I've traded my heels in for more comfy attire. I still like to get dressed up and slay here and there, but any chance I have to be cozy is definitely taken advantage of. Today was a rainy one in central Florida, so here is a typical "rainy day" outfit for me.
