As I’ve expressed before, I have a big weakness for monochromatic looks. And, if you couldn’t tell from the photos, I’m really feeling the blues today. Known to many as the Canadian tuxedo, I am sporting a denim look with my Zara shirt and Paige jeans. All together this outfit takes on two big trends of the past few seasons (monochromatic and denim-on-denim) to make for a flattering and stylish look. Next time you’re getting dressed, experiment with your color palette. You might just surprise yourself with an awesome, and unexpected, monochromatic outfit!

No longer reserved for the world’s strongest men and women, army print is the new neutral. Offered in a variety of different colors, I still prefer the classic camo green to any of the fancy new styles. Dressed up with heels and a cop top, or tucked into a leather skirt, camouflage is extremely versatile and a fashion must-have. If you have yet to add a piece to your wardrobe, I suggest checking out Zara, H&M, or your favorite boutique, to spice up your collection.

One topic I haven't yet covered is my everlasting love for the romper. As a shorts addict, the romper is my perfect ensemble for any occasion. I absolutely adore the versatility it provides, and the simplicity of wearing only one piece of clothing. The romper pictured above is a long sleeve, sheer, navy BCBGeneration piece I snagged at Macy’s over 2 years ago. I love the brand’s feminine and flirty touch, and most importantly, I love their price point!! I paired my outfit with Steve Madden booties and Club Monaco necklaces to spice it up a bit. This outfit can easily be transitioned to nighttime with some flirty pumps and additional accessories. Check out BCBGeneration’s website for details on their most recent romper style: BCBGeneration
When choosing an outfit for my boyfriend's birthday dinner, I struggled a bit with the balance of sexy and classy……a combo which is difficult to pull off! I ended up choosing a denim Rag & Bone button down top with leather trim, and my favorite leather shorts. In order to amp up my somewhat “conservative” outfit, I chose my knee-high, suede, Calvin Klein boots. Because, as we all know, there is a difference between looking attractive and stylish according to our fellow females, and sporting a “hot” outfit for the men in our lives. By accentuating my legs and remaining more conservative on top, I was able to master the male appeal and the female style I always aim for!
Making their second debut in my short lifetime, boyfriend jeans are back. Although I find them to be a great look when styled the right way, I don't find their price to be equally appealing. When spending money on a fashion trend, I try not to invest unless it's something I see lasting for more than two seasons. The jeans pictured above are a moderately priced boyfriend distressed look from GAP. I typically am one to invest in my denim, but when it comes to the boyfriend style, I wasn't prepared to spend over $100 for something I knew I wouldn't be wearing for long. So far, I am enjoying the quality and wash of these GAP jeans, and I'm especially loving the price tag!
Shorts. Most often associated with warm weather, shorts are a year round staple in my wardrobe. Whether it be with tights or bare legs, I find shorts to be a comfortable fashion statement that can be dressed up and down. Today I chose BCBG shorts with my boyfriends Diesel long sleeve shirt to contrast the tight fitting bottoms. To keep my legs warm without tights, I wore my knee-highs and suede Stuart Weitzman booties (these were for style, not so much for function!). Finally, I topped off the all black look with several gold accessories.
Stay tuned for more of my favorite black and gold ensembles! Guilty. The distressed trend has come and gone several times in the past few years, but I still find myself adding new pieces to my collection. My favourite way to style this look is with tailored fashion items, giving the outfit a semi-grunge look (without appearing entirely homeless). Maintaining balance is a good way to wear more fashionable/trendy styles, without overwhelming your outfit. One pairing I love is boyfriend jeans with tailored blazers and pumps.

Although my typical outfit is similar to a Bloomies uniform, I decided to add a pop of color today for my interview. This Club Monaco silk scarf is a must have for people like me who need accent pieces to spice up their wardrobe. Luckily interview apparel no longer has to be drab, especially in the fashion industry. I was able to rock my many black and gold rings, as well as a stretch pant and booties. I guess my take on the new interview style worked because I got the job ;) |
