Menswear is my hip wear!

What do you think summer is about? It is not about just baring your skin, sun tan, swimming pools and chilled drinks. It is about radiance of color! Look around. See all these colors enhanced by the vibrance of the sun rays? It is the time of the year when the colors we see are the purest. We see 'em, we wear 'em. We even eat them! All this chemicals and preservatives infused popsicles! Hah.

Here is one of my sporty and edgy summer outfits that is comprised of the staple item that everybody has in his/her closet - shorts; shady teal crop top, unzipped booties and a boyfriend shirt! Well, in my case HUSBAND'S shirt. It came in very refreshing and reinvigorating color combination that livened up the entire mute-toned look. And the way I tied it around my hip supplied the look with a slight nonchalant tom-boy chic. It happened to be not just comfy and stylish, but eye-catching! ( Oh, God! )

Style, Me and a spring mood.

This February in Charlotte is odd nowadays, haha. One day you get snowstorms, another - sunlit warm days. The days that hark us back to joyful spring days memories and make us want it back into our busy lives. And we almost made it to spring! One more week and we officially will be introduced to spring blossom and...breezy light outfits. We will be swapping thick and heavy outcoats and sweaters for thin, airy pieces, that keep on hitting higher and higher numbers in our closets. Well, at least in my closet. Lol. That is how badly I want spring!

So my last Friday was brimming with elements of spring mood. First of all, I chose one piece of lighter texture, my heart-scattered floaty pastel pink shirt from Marisol, and paired it with sturdier flower print shorts from Sans Souci. I wore it with over-the-knee burgundy stockings from Urban Outfitters and a simple black hat. The center of attention of the look was meant to be my signature design statement necklace. It added a sleek and polished finish to my look and put it up from a pretty-girl style to on-the-edge-of-light-elegance level. The fact that jewelry and accessories can transform the entire outfit into a chic set was proved again. 

Enjoy your spring expectations , darlings !

                     

     

Gilded glamour all day long.

The type of winter days that fill my life with sulky grayness and cold, I yearn for, at least , a little of shine. I want to dispense with thick dark attire, and reveal myself to superb shine! I would not, for sure, turn myself into a golden fish that would beblind the entire universe ( hell, no!), but would try to master the key accents of the look, applying golden elements. Just the way I did when I was trying to build the look. For a chic glamourous update of my black-base look I wore a golden finely pleated skirt,a  shirt with rhinestones-strewn palm trees design and a finishing accent was put by gilded pendant, chains and bangles.The entire outfit was sharpened by my favorite Harley Davidson rough booties.

That is how I turned down the grayness of the day with this sweet ensemble:-)
