Outfit Inspiration: Menswear

 

Jacket | Shorts | T-shirt | Clutch | Heeled Boots

On Friday, I blogged about how when I think of Fall and Winter I think of menswear-inspired looks so today I bring you some outfit inspiration. The thing about Miami is that it is impossible to wear leather pants until at least late November so I have to settle for leather shorts. All of these pieces are actually from the Menswear department of Farfetch, except for the heels of course. The thing about shopping in the Mens' department is that almost anything can be turned into a women's outfit. There's a few things that can be considered for either Men or women and that is: a leather jacket, shorts or leather pants, a t-shirt, a "clutch," and pretty much anything that's made out of leather. When it comes to white t-shirts I actually will purchase one from the Men's section if I fall in love with it. The t-shirt I featured above is actually on my wish list and I plan on purchasing in the near future.

As for the leather DSQUARED2 shorts, they can easily be worn as boyfriend shorts and no one will ever know that you scooped this pair of shorts from a Men's section. I'm also beyond OBSESSED with this Balmain military jacket and wish I could add it to my closet. The beauty of Fashion now-a-days is that you can buy something from anywhere, whether it be the women's or the men's section and give it your own little twist and no one will ever question it. I've listed some of my favorite mens pieces from Farfetch below so you too can incorporate some menswear pieces into your daily outfits.

By the way, if you haven't heard about Farfetch, they're an online luxury retailer. Besides the fact that they're from the UK, and I love everything about the UK, they sell all my favorite European designers and they offer free shipping!

Splurge vs. Steal: Fourth of July



I've spent the past 9 years being called the nickname "America" so when it comes to the Fourth of July, I feel like it is my duty to wear the colors of the American Flag: red, white and blue, alll day long. I spent this Fourth of July in Disney World with my family and at night when we went to dinner I quickly changed into a dress covered in stars and paired with red flats. When it comes to Fourth of July I try to buy pieces that I can reuse so it doesn't bother me to splurge a little. I also perfer to wear star-covered pieces because I wear stripes about twice a week so I like some change. The above pieces are all pieces that were or are currently on my wishlist and can all be purchased at Farfetch. They pay be a tad bit on the splurge side but as I said  before they're pieces that you can reuse for years to come. The steal version of this outfit can be found here. I hope everyone had a lovely Fourth of July and enjoyed some great fireworks. Below are some of my favorite Fourth of July pieces and also red, white, and blue pieces.
