Heart Print Hoodie

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Black Pea Coat, Black Jeans, Gray Beanie, Panda Pendant, Heart Ring Forever 21 | Grey Heart Print Hoodie Pink Victoria’s Secret | Grey T-Shirt Wet Seal | White Leather Sneakers ConverseThis is a casual outfit from 2 weeks ago.
I typically go for looks that make me look like a “sophisticated” career woman to work, but every now and then I just want to roll out of bed and get through Friday. It was another chilly day and I am basically living in the same Kenneth Cole Sweater I wore yesterday, so bringing this post to light was also necessary. The layering is perfect for the cold weather, and I looked perfectly hipster at my desk drinking coffee and wearing my Ray-Ban computer glasses.
The hoodie is a thrift store find and I love the fun heart print! I had a matching ring to complete the look. What do you think? How would you wear this printed hoodie?

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!

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!

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!

Members Only Jacket

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Blue Jacket Members Only | T-Shirt Disney | Grey Jeans Wet Seal | Low Top Sneakers Converse | Silver BoyfriendWatch Marc by Marc JacobsHere’s a look at my casual look for Saturday.
I really love my Members Only jackets, but I can’t really wear them to work because of their casual vibe. This one might be unisex because of its size. I found it at Crossroads Trading Co. I paired it with a cartoon graphic tee and my favorite gray jeans. These jeans come in Short, Regular and Tall sizes and I also have a pair of dark wash jeans. It’s nice to be able to buy jeans and not have to worry about rolling up the bottoms or having them hemmed.
 My Converse sneakers are also a big staple for my weekend wear. I’ve loved this sneaker style since middle school, and don’t plan on retiring this style of sneaker anytime soon.  
As you can see, I am also really in love with my silver Marc by Marc Jacobs watch. It really goes with everything I wear.

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!
