Patterned Tights

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Pleated Black Cardigan Merona, Cream Tulle Skirt with Black Bow and Bangles Forever 21, Leaf Patterned Tights Givenchy, Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenI found some really cute Givenchy patterned tights on Sunday at Marshall’s! I was obsessed and spent ours in the hosiery section. They had Givenchy patterned tights on clearance for $3 a pair, and a bunch of cute knee-high socks by Chinese Laundry and Betsey Johnson. I snagged a pair of Chinese Laundry Knee-High fleece socks and cannot wait to wear them under my boots. Before I experiment with cute Knee-High socks I need to try some plain, warm ones first.
Today my look is a little bit ballerina and French inspired. I love how the tights add texture to the outfit. My cardigan is a thrift find, and I am glad I am starting to find sweaters. I need more long sleeve knits or tops to really be prepared for the winter weather. The skirt is from Forever 21 and I remember buying it around this time while Christmas shopping with my mom. We saw this skirt on a mannequin styled with grunge items.  We looked all over the store for it and just when we were about to give up, we found it in the back of a rack. Love how full it is and the little black bow detail. The black tights pop against the color of this skirt too!

Anorak Jacket

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Anorak Jacket Damselle | White T-Shirt, Destroyed Skinny Jeans, Ring, and Teddy Bear Charm Necklace Forever 21 | Tan Suede Hoops Boots Steve Madden
Hello! Here’s a late post of my weekend outfit!
This jacket is not my typical choice. I tend to be drawn to darker clothing, like black. Even though it isn’t something I would normally pick, this neutral color works with a lot of items in my wardrobe, like my Steve Madden booties. This jacket has a military feel to it too and I think it could work with olive green pants. It is also pretty warm, so I am looking forward to layering and adding a thick scarf with it as the weather gets colder.

The Color Purple

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Purple Cardigan Kenar | Floral Silk Josie Cami Diane Von Furstenberg | Jeans and Belt Forever 21 | Flower Ring Wet Seal |  Purple Boots Lower East SideAnother nice relaxing weekend at home! It was actually kind of windy (and cold), but I removed my pea coat to take the photo for the sake of fashion!I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit now with the cold weather. 
The cardigan and boots are borrowed from my mom’s closet. My love of clothes comes from her, so it is fitting that I borrow her clothes. I have worn this floral silk tank in a previous post here, but I like how the colors pop more with this purple cardigan. 
I ate homemade food and watched Rise of the Guardians with my niece and nephew. I feel long cardigans give a more sophisticated, casual vibe which worked for my day of shopping and a night at the movies. I would highly recommend the movie as it was well-written and animated beautifully. Oh, and the kids enjoyed it too!

Embellished Top

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Hooded Cream Bomber Jacket, Jeans, Embellished Flats, and Swan Ring Forever 21| Pearl Embellished Pink Top Steve Madden (here) | Bag Coach | Silver Boyfriend Watch Marc by Marc JacobsI am a huge fan of pink and anything girly. Because I typically thrift, I rarely buy things from major department stores. This top is an exception and was from Macy’s a while back. It is very girly with the color and pearl collar embellished detail. I also love that it is loose-fitting, but it could also work tucked into a skirt.

The pink flats, also with embellishments, were a no-brainer to pair with the top because of the girly detail as well. I kept the other choices somewhat neutral to keep the outfit from feeling too girly.
What would you wear with an embellished top?

Black Friday Shopping

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Grey Chain Cardigan Sugar Lips (here)| Black T-Shirt and Belt Wet Seal | Hat, Chain Bracelet and Black Pants Forever 21 | Silver Boyfriend Watch Marc by Marc Jacobs |  Floral Print Satchel Coach PoppyTo my surprise, I did not really participate in this year’s Black Friday sales. I stopped by Sears and Wal-Mart with Mando and his parents on Thanksgiving, and felt a little overwhelmed by the the crowds. Mando and I met up the next day and visited the Movado store at the Gilroy Outlets, and from my first photo you can tell I am going crazy. The place was overflowing with people. He found what we wanted which made the trip worthwhile.
I dressed in layers, and tried to keep the edgy vibe of my cardigan. I found this beautiful piece at Crossroads. I was inspired by Carrie’s look in the Sex in the City Movie when she wears a black hat and studded belt over a black coat. I got the effect that I wanted. To be comfortable shopping, shoes are also important. I wore my trusty Steve Madden suede boots, and in the evening when I went out to dinner I swapped them out for my Sam Edelman spiked heels. I added a clutch, and this outfit easily transitioned from shopping to dinner with friends. 
What did you wear while Black Friday shopping? Leave me your links below so I can see!

Thanksgiving Day

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Sheer Sequin Collar Top, Black Pants, Flats, and Statement Necklace Forever 21 | Black Cardigan H&M |  Ruffle Bag Steve Madden  What a holiday! Hopefully, you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and you spent it with people that matter most. I am thankful for my family, friends, and most importantly, my followers.Thank you for reading, commenting, and following because it gives me more motivation to blog every day!
Now that I am done being kind of cheesy, my Thanksgiving outfit is usually a lot more formal, but because I helped cook dinner and was working on cupcakes, I had to dress with that in mind. This top was a gift from my sister-in-law, and she always knows what will work on me.
