Here is my daytime outfit for Sunday, which cost me a little over $50. You gotta love the clearance rack!!! The price might have been cheap, but the look wasn’t (in my humble opinion). What do you think?
SKIRT (Kohl’s): $20
CAMI (Kohl’s): $6
SWEATER (JCPenny): $20
BELT (Rue 21): $7
NECKLACE (GIFT): Priceless
I decided to play on blue, red, and white (with a hint of black) hues today.
Here is what I came up with:
I wore a navy-blue sweater vest. Underneath my vest, I wore a mid-arm length white and black stripped top with a red-rose pattern. I paired it with the some blue jeans.
As for accessories, I wore hoop earrings and a drop necklace with some red beads and a center crystal.
I hope you like my look. Feel free to comment.
Today I’ve decided to play with “not-very-spring” colors, like black and red. Although red is this spring season’s color trend. Anyway, I wanted to create an outfit that was inexpensively priced to show you can create a cool look on a budget by shopping at discounted retail stores, like Marshall’s or even Wal-Mart. The whole look, including shoes and a bag, was around $100 (watch was not included as it was a gift).
TEAL is big this Spring season! Personally, it’s one of my favorite colors, but than again I pretty much like all colors :P.
I’ve decided to wear a minty/teal blouse with teal necklace, earrings, and ring. All pieces, except the black cami and gray trousers, were bought at H&M.
I completed my look with a soft loose braid on both sides of my head (see the close-up below). I also kept my makeup very soft and feminine.
I hope you like my look of the day! Feel free to comment!
Please note that the H&M blazer and top was bought in Milan, Italy.
Close up:
Visiting the fashion district in Milan was like a child walking into a candy store, everything was so colorful. The only draw back was that the prices of the designer clothes were super expensive and, from what I was told, mainly rich tourists purchase things at the Via Monte Napoleone. Since I am not one of those rich tourists, I decided to just window shop, enjoy the fashion, and get inspired.
One of the first stores I visited was Miss Sixty and here I was greeted with two distinctively different fashion styles:
The first style was definitively not wearable but I found the combination of feathers and denim interesting. The second dress was a pretty floral maxi, which is great for the summer. The warm colors speak today’s fashion trend.
My next stop was Versace:
I really liked the ivory/golden dress I saw in the window:
The Versace dress is very feminine with great flowy movement. I also had to take a close-up shot of the shoes and a bag, which I found very cool.
I was all smiles, when I saw as store with one of my favorite designer’s clothes, YVES SAINT LAURENT (YSL):
I took more than a few photos of YSL clothes, because I really like their styles and colors. I find YSL’s clothes elegant, feminine, and yet simple:
Next, I was impressed by a beautiful white dress:
I liked the details on this dress.
I also liked more plain look for the summer:
Then came the store of PRADA:
The PRADA dress also has yellow and red colors (and flowers), similarly to Miss Sixty maxi dress. However, the structure (and fabric) of the dress is completely different.
I had to take a close up of the PRADA shoes, because I found them fabulous:
I found a little time for PRADA men:
Another designer’s store I was excited to see was VALENTINO. His signature red clothes cannot be mistaken, but he also came out with some black colors. His clothes are sexy and feminine and a little edgy. Check it out:
My final designer’s clothes to show you are Armani and Ralph Laurent (I think…sorry but I don’t have all my notes with me):
The dress above is very intricate and fabulous. The feather details make the dress very interesting.
In the dress above the designer made a masculine clothing into feminine fashion. I like the blend of masculine and feminine in this outfit. The color white ties it all together nicely.
At last, I couldn’t finish this blog without finding a designer bridal gown. Here I found three gowns:
