Style Musings: Never Have I Ever

Never have I ever thought I would love flatforms. Whenever I saw them, I always thought they were big and clunky. They are big and clunky, in a wonderful '70's way. I also have small feet, so I thought that flatforms would make my feet look big. But I am converted! I love them! Flatforms have the height of a heel/wedge, but the comfort of a flat. I love being able to look my family in the eye! (I'm the shortest, and the oldest child of three!)

I wore my green BDG jeans and brown Zara tee. The Zara tee has a wonderful zipper detail in the back. I threw on my velvet vintage Ralph Lauren blazer. I couldn't stop touching myself! It's so soft. I like wearing blazers in spring because my school's building is so bipolar. In some rooms, I'm sweating, but I'm freezing in others. And since it's still pretty cool outside, I need to have something to cover up with. I want warmer weather.

To reflect the color of the shoes, I wore a heart necklace. I don't know where it's from. My sister let me have it.

I also wore my studded Gap belt to keep my pants up. I love the combination of these colors.

The blazer has my first two initals! It was meant to be!

This pair of flatforms are by the brand Born. The shoes are very comfortable, and have a little extra arch support. I love the color, which is perfect for spring.

I wear my heart on my sleeve. Well, on my neck.

A Bit of Romance

I wanted to see how I can style my new dress from H&M today. It is pink and transparent. I did a little romantic look today. I had to put a tank underneath because it gaps. Then I piled pearls on. They are all from my grandmother and great-grandmother. A key-shaped ring from Aldo brought in some gold. Gold Report flats add to the romantic feel.

My doggie decided to join me. My ring from Aldo Accessories. And purple nails!

Criticism

I think this outfit is cute! Maybe neutral heels would work, too. I just have to work on my posing.

Stay pink!

Simple and Chic

I think this is one of my favorite outfits. I started with a pair of Gap jeans. Then I added a black rouched shirt, courtesy of Last Tango. I got it in Florida. The grey Forever 21 cardigan was added for texture. Looking at the outfit, I thought I needed some color.

This necklace was perfect. My grandma gave it to me. If you look carefully, you can see the dragons! To match the green stone, I thought of my bracelet.

I got this bracelet in Israel. I don't wear it nearly enough. As for the mixed metals, I think it works. It would be too matchy-matchy, in my opinion, if I wore only one metal.

Criticism:

I don't really have any. I like the way the sleeves of the shirt stick out from under the cardigan. The only thing is I wish I were a little smoother. But I'm working on that.

Stay smooth!

Here Comes the Queen!

I love dressing up, so here is one of my many outfits! I usually wear this amazing vintage Ralph Lauren blazer with a white shirt, but I wanted to be creative. I put a yellow shirt with it, which I think looks pretty sharp. I wore boots that day because it snowed. I think it would have looked better with some other shoe, but I didn't have a choice. I topped it off with a gold vintage necklace. I rolled up the sleeves to keep it from looking dated.

This is the blazers pocket detail. It's my first two initals: RL! Criticism:

It's a fabulous outfit, if I say so myself, but the hair is ridiculous. It's at a point where I can put it in a ponytail, but that's it. I think it would look best in a bun with this outfit. I think I needed better shoes, too. Well, considering the weather, it was fine, but it needed something more. Maybe black heels? I can't quite figure out what shoes would be better. Also, I need better places to take pictures. And possibly a better camera. But I still love this outfit. I kept touching the soft velvet blazer all day!

Stay regal!
