I feel like I’ve been stepping up my print mixing game lately. I love wearing florals, but feel I’ve only recently started investing in striped tops, dresses, and skirts. I picked up this striped skirt from Chicwish last year and unfortunately it is sold out, but I’ve linked a similar one below. I thought I had ordered a navy/white color, but it looks black and white to me.

I can’t believe it is already April! I had this outfit post in draft and thought back in March, I need to work on that one outfit post and all of a sudden March is over. We transitioned from one season to another, officially, and I am surprised I haven’t gotten through posting all the outfits in my queue with my long hair.
All Saints
Spring cleaning is in full effect in my small, studio apartment.
I’ve been MIA a lot more often from the blog and social media, and in large part, it is due to being focused on cleaning out my space and clearing out my wardrobe. It takes me a long time to commit to the idea of actually letting go of some pieces, but lately, I’ve been on a posting spree, snapping photos of items, and listing them consistently on the Poshmark App

A late outfit post for Valentine’s Day. Since this year’s holiday was on a Tuesday, Armando and I celebrated the Sunday before with dinner at Skates on the Bay. It is a restaurant along the Berkeley Marina that has an amazing view of SF. Armando was out biking on Sunday and surprised me with the dinner reservation.

I’ve been on a denim buying kick lately, which is kind of surprising for me. I rarely buy jeans, they always tend to be too long and require hemming. I also never know what waist size I should be wearing. I learned when pulling back on the waist when jeans are on, if there is a gap larger than 3 fingers, you should size down because the denim will eventually stretch out with wear.
I had a great experience trying on jeans a couple of months ago at Madewell and fell in love with their denim selection. I bought 2 pairs during that shopping trip, and I could not believe how well these “rip and repair” skinny jeans fit me! These felt amazing and wore them right away.
I had this sleeveless turtleneck I had been wanting to incorporate into an outfit in order to list on Poshmark. It was handed on to me by my mom after she cleaned out her closet to sell, among other items. I’ve been adding more items to my closet these past few weeks and this knit top has already sold, so make sure to follow me on the app to stay up to date with my newest listings.
Hope you are having a great week so far and until next time!

Hello 2017!
In an effort to better utilize the pieces in my wardrobe, I decided one of the style resolutions I’ll be incorporating this year is to wear special pieces more often. Case in point, this gold dress by Diane Von Furstenberg dress. I purchased it on +Poshmark for at a good price and have not really had a chance to wear it. It’s definitely meant to be worn for a night out on the town, but I am sure I can style it in a way to dress it down. I am excited to challenge myself this way with this and many of my other pieces waiting to be worn.
This look is another New Year’s Eve outfit option I had. It paired perfectly with my champagne glitter Jimmy Choo heels and champagne bottle Kate Spade coin purse. I kept the jewelry minimal with the Kate Spade bracelet because of the metallic fabric from the dress and statement heels. My other resolution is to list items I haven’t worn/used as I mentioned in my last post. I relisted this DVF dress in my Poshmark closet, but maybe it will make another appearance in my efforts to wear special pieces more often.
Hope your year is off to a great start! I am out exploring in Portland, Oregon and will be sharing my adventures on Instagram @willbakeforshoes. Make sure to follow me for some mouthwatering food photos.
