military vest and bright blue shoes

finally got to wear my new blue beauties that I got from Elizabeth, shoe designer for L.A.M.B. and Charles Jourdan. as promised I paired them with something green. i just love this color combination green and blue. I'm also on the hunt for something burgundy and neon yellow. thats the new color combo...if you havent heard. lol.

the military trend is in full effect and i love it. especially since i am a die hard fan of the color green. i seriously went green crazy this past weekend picking up this top from Top Shop and this shirt and skirt from American Apparel. All of which are various shades of green. not to mention this military top i rocked a few post ago. my whole wardrobe will slowly turn green. anywho so i've been getting my outfits together for New York Fashion Week. Yes...i know its 2.5 months away but i can't help myself. i am in love with fashion and this blog and im not ashamed! but i just realized that the 5 outfits i put together all have green lol. i will be the green bean during fashion week. haha.

so yeah...this skirt is it

when I was visiting home in North Carolina a few weeks ago my cousin took these photos for me.

it's been a while since i pulled out my favorite striped shirt. but this isn't about the shirt...it's about the skirt. this has become my favorite. it's so full and the perfect length and only cost me $20 bucks.

i've had it for years. i recently wore it to the Style Bloggers of Color Conference. Before that I last wore it to New York Fashion Week last September and made the front page of Essence.com for street style.

Top: H&M get similar HERE | Skirt: Necessary Objects | Shoes: Messeca Coraline

Bracelet, Necklaces and Earrings: Light Years Jewelry

this is my first time busting out my Messeca's this year! if you havent heard of their shoes check them out HERE they are pretty amazing! all of my jewelry came from Light Years, an awesometastic accessories store in South Point Mall in Durham, NC. They have the BEST accessories in the world. i also got this gorgeous bag there as well for next to nothing. the bracelet is a mixture or silver, gold and copper too. i usually dont mix silver and gold but i love the contrast of these two charm necklaces. stay tuned for a post about Light Years Jewelry. i also found another skirt similar to this one but even better here on ASOS. i'll be adding it to my collection as well.

do you have a piece in your wardrobe that you wear over and over?
