Happy Hump Day Beautiful People! The new year is around the corner and rather than compile a list of my favorite posts or what I have learned, I thought I would share one last "OOTD" post for 2K16. Back when I first started blogging in 2011 under my previous brand name "Qrush Velvet", it felt more like an obligation and not an outlet. At the beginning of the year when I decided to start blogging again I promised myself to have fun and not force myself to post what's not authentically me. This time around all of my posts felt honest and surprisingly within the process I fell in love with blogging again. It's gratifying to see the growth in my style and personal development. Drawing the line from placing unrealistic expectations on myself allowed me the freedom to JUST DO ME!
Winter is my favorite fashion season! It's time to layer up the jackets, sweaters, or leather pants and load up on cute winter accessories like fur or faux fur earmuffs. During this time, I feel the majority of us have the one go-to color for the season. Personally, I'm not loyal to one color but when I'm not sure what to wear or feeling a little indecisive, I always return to the classic......Back To Black! In my opinion, anyone can wear all black and instantly look simple yet stylish. I am certainly no stranger to practical pieces and keeping my outfits minimal and clean is a must lately. So when I finally got my hands on the perfect long vest coat for the season I was excited to add another staple piece to my wardrobe. Adding a draped vest coat over the top of any outfit is the ideal way to layer for warmth yet have the ability to appear put-together. The key to this look is stick to a solid color and then mix it up with your accessories.
