Minimal

Simply by adding a jacket, statement necklace, and some basic color heels can really make an outfit. Creating a wardrobe of basic pieces and great accessories to dress things up is really important if you want to have a variety of looks from day to night or for different occasions.   

Being a fashion blogger I always try to get different backgrounds for my pictures...let me tell you guys how much my heels were sinking into the ground hahaha! But I loved the way the outfit turned out.

Caged

Ladies, ladies, ladies! Trend alert! Caged sandal heels for this upcoming spring and summer is going to be big;  I'm sure you've seen many celebrities strutting their stuff with similar styles like my favorites, the Kardashian's. Weather it's for a fancy event or a casual dinner this heel is a must have. 

I purchased my caged sandals from Nine West and I have to say I am in love! They are true to size and very comfortable (if you aren't new to heels). Although difficult to put on these babies are great quality and I would definitely recommend them to you.

How To Print

Let me say I've been obsessed with this printed jacket that I bought last year at H&M! When it comes to incorporating a large print into your outfit - especially a jacket, it can feel overwhelming...but remember, simple and basics are your best friends when it comes to this.

The Sky Might Fall

I was lucky enough to catch the sun before it went down! It was super rainy all day, explains the crazy hair but I managed to go out and shoot this outfit. This sweater definitely grabs peoples attention but I can't say I don't find it amusing.

Kingdom Come

Top and shades - Forever21

Shoes - Charlotte Russe

Clutch - TJ Maxx

Necklace - Ebay

Highlight my Storm

Hello all! I'm currently listening to music and starring at my closet trying to decide what I should take to New York with me. I'm very excited to go since it's been almost two months, unfortunately I can only go for the weekend because of work but I am taking full advantage! I don't really plan on shopping much *crosses fingers* but if I do I will definitely blog when I get back home.

Here is an outfit I put together using bold neon colors. I wanted to show you guys how to use two neon's in one outfit, I used my Prabal Gurng heels to put the full look together.
