Today I styled this cute baseball inspired dress that I found when I went to Vegas last week. I went to Vegas for the MAGIC fashion convention and let me just say that it was AMAZING! There was such great energy there and I found a lot of inspiration. I realized when I got home that we didn't take any pictures!!! (How disappointing) One of my favorite parts of the trip was going to a trend seminar which showed us all the predicted trends for spring and summer! A trend that I love is activewear, this was the main inspiration for these outfits. 

I styled this dress two ways from day, to night. The first look I went for a casual, relaxed vibe. I paired the dress with these orange flatforms I got like two years, they are super old. I have been dying for the American Apparel leather hat for quite some time but couldn't justify spending over $60 on such a trend piece. I was overjoyed when I saw almost the exact same thing at Forever 21 for only $10!  

Look two I wanted to contradict the sportiness of the dress with these girly Jeffrey Campbell heels. I don't think that anyone will believe me I got them for $30, they were originally priced at $180, gotta love those Urban Outfitters sales. I also picked up this clutch while on my trip for only $20 it is still available online (link down below). I think the entire look gives a effortless but still polished look.

Valentine's Day.

Decided to share my Valentine's Day ootd. Tried to keep it simple and clean with mostly black and white. I added little pops of pink with my adorable heart shaped shades and lip color. Hope everyone had a fun day with their loved ones.

Fur has been of my favorite trends and has been consuming the runways for Autumn/Winter 2014/2015. This was my take on incorporating fur in my wardrobe. I discovered this Zara vest for only $20 at a cute resale shop in Tucson. I decided to style my "Prada Wannabe" flatforms, that I posted about earlier, to complete the look.

I have been drawn to the midi skirt trend for quite some time now but have had my reserves on how it would look on my figure. I also didn't want to spend the money on such a trend piece that might not be around next year. Luckily, I rediscovered this amazing midi skirt that was hidden in my closet! I originally bought this skirt over a year ago for less than $5 while thrifting. I find myself often mixing thrifted items with more brand name products to create a cohesive balance.

I have had a crush on these amazing Prada platforms since I spotted Stephanie, from The Fashion Citizen, rock a similar version over 6 months ago. After keeping my eye out for the perfect pair of flatforms in my price range (Prada platforms range from $500-$750...yikes!) These Charles by Charles David platforms finally found me while I was shopping last night at Buffalo Exchange. Let me just say...they are perfect! They definitely give off that 90's fab-grunge vibe and will be a statement piece to any outfit.

New Beginnings.

2.4.2014

After putting this off for over a year, I have finally gained the confidence to just go for it. I decided that this would be the perfect way to figure out where I'm going in life and in my personal style. By documenting "Wear I'm Going" I hope to figure out more about myself and hopefully inspire someone along the way.
