Weekend

Striped Sweater

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Navy Striped Sweater Olive & Oak | Navy Coat Juicy Couture | Dark Wash Jeans and Beige Ring Forever 21 | Satin Rhinestone Brooch Flats J.CrewAnother one of my new sweaters. I love how it worked seamlessly with other items in my wardrobe, especially these flats!

I am enjoying my vacation and time with my family. I’ve also had some time to plan out updates for the blog for the coming year. I usually don’t make any resolutions for the New Year because I would always decide on things at the beginning of the Fall Semester. Now that I am no longer in school, New Year’s is the perfect time to start anew. I already started cleaning out my closet so I let go of things I no longer wear. Wish me luck so I can actually let go of things!
What would you wear with a striped sweater? Leave me a comment and let me know. Thanks for reading!

Christmas Eve

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Anorak Jacket Damselle, Teal Sweater Dress Chloe, Brown Cross Bod Bag Coach, Butterfly Necklace Forever 21, Brown Leggings Wet Seal, Tan Suede Boots “Hoops” Steve MaddenIt is Christmas Eve and I dressed to get some errands done for the day. Gifts needed to be wrapped, dinner ingredients needed to be purchased, and some household cleaning was also necessary. 
This is very casual and boho, and tomorrow’s look will be completely different since I plan on dressing up for dinner. Typically our family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve, but this year things are a little different so other family members can join us for the holiday. Despite looking cozy today, I still felt cold. Tomorrow I hope I am indoors all day only because I want to wear a tutu and open-toe heels!
What did you wear for Christmas Eve? Let me know!

Christmas Gift Shopping

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Black Pea Coat, Jeans, Knit Beanie and Rings Forever 21 | Black Scarf Marc Jacobs Neiman Marcus x Target| Blue and Black Checkered Top Miley Cyrus & Max Azria | Black Hi Top Sneaker Wedges Zigi Soho (similar here)A cozy outfit to go out Christmas shopping for the holidays. I spent the afternoon traveling back home Friday, but Armando and I stopped by a mall on the way home to avoid traffic driving down 880 and to get some final holiday shopping done. There are plenty of shopping malls when heading down the East Bay, and we happened to stop by the Westfield Mall in Santa Clara. 
I wore my new sneaker wedges that I found at Marshall’s last Sunday when I scored all my new tights I mentioned in my last blog post. I love these wedges and feel like I can wear them a ton of my clothes (especially my Members Only Jackets.) They are pretty comfortable and I was in them all day at work. I like that they add quite a bit of height and work as a stand in for booties. I’ve linked a few option to shop below in case you are interested in trying out the sneaker wedge trend.

Just a few more days until Christmas! Have you finished your holiday shopping or are you still scrambling to check off your list? Let me know!

Checkered Scarf

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Pea Coat, Sweater, Black Jeans, and Elephant Ring Forever 21 | Black Earmuffs Material Girl | White Leather Sneakers Converse | Black and White Checkered Scarf ParisRainy and cold days are no fun. I spent my Saturday cleaning and was not motivated to get dressed up until later in the evening because I had some Christmas shopping to do. Even then, I didn’t make a fuss about my outfit and opted for an all-black look with the goal of being warm and dry.
I repeated the all black outfit today except opted for a white and black checkered scarf. I wore the white sneakers to keep the look from being too dark, and added the large elephant ring for fun! The earmuffs are my favorite part of the outfit because they are keeping my ears really warm on a cold day.
I am pretty excited because I purchased quite a few different pairs of tights today from Marshall’s. Quite a few are patterned, and I can’t wait to incorporate them into my winter wardrobe! I am also looking into buying some fleece-lined leggings after finding fleece-lined knee -high socks today! I spent an hour just in the sock and hosiery area because they had so many options, it was hard to choose just a few styles.
Hope you had a fabulous weekend and are staying warm with scarfs, earmuffs, and gloves!

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.
What would you wear with an anorak jacket? Leave your link to a post or your suggestion in the comments below.

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!
