Smart, chic, and timeless are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of the ever so classic shirt-dress. Whether worn conservatively around the office or casually on the weekend, these are definitely one of the leading garments when it comes to women’s Spring fashion. I was drawn to this dress in particular because of the unique wrap detail that provided a cool layered effect, not typically seen with this style. Though I wanted this piece to be the focal point of the look, it was a little too preppy for my style so I added some edge with an over-sized faux leather jacket. Can I let you guys in on a secret?…..IT’S MEN’S! Personally, I see nothing wrong with taking a peek in the men’s department every now and then because you never know what gems you may find. I ended up scoring big with this jacket that was believe it or not, seven, I repeat, SEVEN dollars. The structure and weight alone had me sold from the gate, but the price made it all the more worth it! Recently, I haven’t had the urge to style handbags so I knew my shoes had to pop. I instantly thought of these bright pink mules I had purchased within the last month and knew they would provide the perfect finishing touch. It’s no secret that I’ve never been the type to like a lot of bells and whistles when styling my looks. I prefer to let the clothes speak for themselves with their intricate details and design. Leave a comment below if you’d like to see me style more accessories in the upcoming months. Until next time!

If I had to choose my favorite fabrics, denim would definitely be in my top three. Why, you may ask? In my opinion, it is the perfect fabric because it is structured enough to almost always have you looking put together, and neutral enough to go with almost anything; in other words, an all-around winning situation. On this particular day, I decided to style this denim, oversized, long-line button up shirt as dress for a relaxed feminine vibe while I took a stroll around the streets of Harlem. Looks like these are perfect for running errands, meeting with friends, or simply hanging out around the city. As far as simplicity and comfort, I really don’t think you can go wrong with a denim dress and a cute pair of flats. I recently took to the stores to purchase a few more pairs to add to my collection and spice up my more casual ensembles. “Simple Summer.” I think that’s the motto I’m going to live by for the rest of the season. Wait, who am I kidding, I’m way too indecisive! Lol. Tell me what you prefer, bright and bold summer looks or more toned down outfits. Enjoy!:D
