Lately all I want to wear is all black with different pops of colors. Yellow's one of my favorite color but whenever I reach for a yellow item to pair with black, I get hesitant because nobody wants to be dressed like a bumblebee. When I came across this clutch last year when buying items for my trip to Mexico, I knew that I needed to add more yellow to my outfits. This clutch is actually currently up to 25% off. 

By the way this leather jacket might just be my favorite item currently in my closet. It's also less than $100. 

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!

Cool, Calm, Collected, and COMFORTABLE

My last semester in college one of my professor's started his introduction by saying: "what you will wear, will always say more about you more than anything your mouth could ever say," and I couldn't agree more with this statement. Think about it. When attending a wedding or a black tie event you wear a tux or a beautiful dress, pair of heels and get all made up; When running errands you might reach for your jeans and a t-shirt, and when you don't want to do anything but lounge around, you'll most likely throw on a pair of sweat pants. I wouldn't be honest if I said I own my fair share of sweatpants and someday I am so grateful that they exist, but the truth is, I refuse to wear them in public! Have you ever heard that whenever you look your worst you run into almost every person you went to high school with and nobody wants to be seen dressed as if you just rolled out of bed. Thankfully there is something that gives you the best of both worlds - sweats and looking put together, and that is the jogger pant.

Whoever decided to design a jogger pant, I am forever thankful to you! You now allow us girls to enjoy comfortable clothing and still look presentable! The jogger pant can be paired with heels, sandals, and sneakers. This outfit was one of my favorites last winter and it still is my go to outfit on the days where I really don't want to try about putting a presentable outfit together.
