Soothing and Soft

I love these soft green harems I recently got from H&M. The color is so soothing. I paired it with a cream top and one of my favorite comfortable cardigans.

I'm so ready for Spring. These pants are the perfect shade of soft green. February is the shortest month of the year but its dragging on and kicking for dear life. Anyone have any Spring Break plans next month? I'm thinking of planning a surprise visit home to North Carolina to visit the family in about 2 weeks. Its been too long and I miss them! 

It's a rainy day today so I'm going to stay in and relax while eating an assortment or junk food and catching up on my TV shows! Is anyone else excited about the Oscars this Sunday? I don't really care too much about the films. I just want to see what everyone is wearing!

I've also started an NYC Fashion Bloggers Meetup Group on Meetup.com

I have some meetups in mind where we bloggers can socialize and get to know one another, thrift shop and experience the amazing fashion in the city. 

If you are in the area please join and spread the word!

Like wearing pajamas

I actually took these photos about 2 weeks ago but forgot to post them! Ok Ok so I've given in to Harems. These are my second pair and I love them. They are super comfortable. I've been eying this chic pair from H&M for awhile. Then they went on sale for $15 and I was like Fashion STEELE! I scooped them up and I'm glad I did. Love the floral print.

Paired them with an oversized H&M sweater and a cropped H&M black tee.

Nothing wrong with showing a little sliver of belly in the Winter time..right??? lol

Harem Chic

Harem pants used to weird me out. I dont really care for the jersey or cotton material ones that make you look like you've taken an enormous poop in your pants. Some people can rock them and it looks amazing, I am not one of those people lol. I did however come across a classy version of the harem pant at H&M in this lovely blush color with pleated detail and fell in love.

Love the zipper detail



Outfit

Pants: H&M

Top: Kensi via Nordstroms Rack

Pumps: Nine West

Feather Earring: Bebe (Gifted)

Ring: AF Jewelry Collection Inc NYC

Polish: American Apparel

I have been shopping too much lately. One of my new favorite stores is Nordstroms Rack. I love love love Nordstroms rack. I have really gotten a lot of great tops there and always off the same rack lol. I fell in love with AF Jewelry Collection which is right next door to my favorite Jewelry Plaza. I went in and they have the most amazing collection of unique cocktail rings. Check them out if you are in NYC at 1212 Broadway (Bet 29-30th St).
