not just a sweatshirt

this amazing top isn't just a sweatshirt...it also has sheer shoulders and a peplum hem. I squealed with delight when I came across it at Soi Boutique. it's my first peplum piece!

I like how the sheer on the sleeves kinda matches with the sheer parts in the jeans. hope everyone is having a great weekend! i just wrapped up another Thrift and the City Tour and although I try not to shop when guiding the tour..i ended up with some hot pieces...Chloe and Salvatore Ferragamo for less than $35 combined! I will show you what I scored soon! Check out my instagram for a sneak peek.

jacquard skirt with a twist

Peplums here...peplums there...peplums are everywhere. This is the closest I will get to a peplum with this trumpet hem skirt. When I saw this amazing jacquard skirt on ASOS and knew it would be a staple in my wardrobe. It's diverse and can be worn throughout the seasons. What I love most is the shape and the volume. It's dramatic yet refined...if those two things can even coexist. It also has two trends in one, trumpet hem and floral print.

Usually I hate winters in New York but this one is hardly a winter at all. One day its warm and the next its freezing. I'm not complaining though because I still refuse to wear tights on most occasions. I just like the look of my bare legs rather than thick black tights but I wear them only when I know I will die a frozen death if I don't. ASOS is quickly becoming my go to place to shop...and I've finally gotten confident enough to order bottoms online. Usually I only buy shoes and dresses online because I'm pretty sure of the fit. ASOS just has too many great things. I've already ordered 3x from them last month alone. Currently I'm coveting these satin tux pants, this metallic leather skirt, and this color block leather jacket.

 

where do you do most of your online shopping?

im always looking for new places to shop online!

peplum....i can dig it

every where i turn..peplum this...peplum that..peplum peplum peplum. OK fashion industry..we get it! Peplum is the shit right now. as you all know...i dont like to jump on a trend until im sure it will work for me and until it dies down a little. I got this lovely peplum skirt from ZARA when I was in Barcelona.

Denim Top: H&M Mens Department | Skirt: Zara get similar here and here

Shoes: Charles Jourdan | Bag: Zara | Ring: Got it in Mexico | Necklace: Thrifted

i love the color combination of the bright neon purse and the skirt. i believe this bag is sold out but get a similar one here or here. with a neutral shoe like these elegant Charles Jourdan's that I picked up at Loehmanns it all came together. this denim top is one of my favorites. a fashion STEELE at $19 during an H&M sale. sometimes the men's department has just what i'm looking for lol. so im digging peplum but i only really like peplum skirts. the shirts...not so much...but i will never say never because im sure some way i'll end up with one.
