In October, I emancipated my style and I let it run free. I wore bold mixed prints, tried new silhouettes, and allowed myself to indulge in pieces that truly made me happy. As a fashion blogger, I am constantly thinking about the next outfit post and what pieces I want to showcase. And as a fashionista on a budget, I think about the cost, quality, and how often I will wear those pieces. I admit- I've accumulated a ton of clothing and accessories over the years, so my closet is in dire need of a clear out. (If you shop on Poshmark, keep an eye out for new listings!) Sometimes I would purchase items just because it completed a look for an outfit post, but I would never wear it again.
During my two week trip to London and Paris, I gained a new respect for capsule collections. I packed three dresses, three pairs of pants, two bodysuits, two tops, one pair of flats, and one pair of boots. While packing I thought my style would feel a bit stifled because all of the pieces were black, white, or olive. Surprisingly, at the end of the trip, I realized that I would be perfectly happy with just those pieces in my closet. It was a bit of a revelation. So, now when I go shopping, I ask myself, "Will I actually wear these items regularly?" If the answer is no, I will then ask myself, "Do these items bring joy in my life?" I know that question sounds cheesy, but it's true. If an item doesn't bring me happiness, I don't purchase it. Not only does it save me money, it makes me appreciate the pieces I have even more. With that said, all of the items in my October favorites are pieces that truly bring me joy. Let's check them out!
I feel like September came and went in a blink of an eye. Maybe it's because I recently shared my August Favorites, but I am thrilled to share my new favorite finds, some of which includes pieces I purchased in London. I guess you could say that statement gold is the theme for these favorites.
From draping myself with pink and purple plastic beaded necklaces as a child to rocking statement pieces on Elizabeth, Marie, and Me, jewelry has always played such an important part of my style evolution. Although I'm still in love with bold jewelry, I have come to appreciate daintier pieces. With that said, I recently discovered the jewelry company, Soufeel. On their website, you can find everything from inspirational bangles, charm bracelets, rings and earrings to personalized jewelry such as name necklaces. They were incredibly kind to let me select items from their website and share them with you all. So, here are the items I added to my jewelry collection.
Hey, lovelies! I'm comin' at cha with another monthly favorites post. I don't know if you can tell, but in July I LOVED glitter and anything sparkly. I started to get on the glitter bandwagon in June with the pair of Miu Miu sunnies, but I took it all the way in July and I hope to continue this fun trend in my August favorites. We'll see! But before we can even think about August, I wanted to share with you all what I loved last month (and still love). Let's check it out!
