OOTD || Basic Blacks & Gladiator Accents

Hello!

I love black and about 85% of my wardrobe is black. But after starting a blog, I began to really challenge myself with colors. Once in awhile I like to go back to my roots and indulge in a blacked out outfit. A black on black outfit always adds a certain edge, even when styled simply or extravagantly. I always feel a boost of confidence when sporting an all black ensemble.

This outfit is as basic as it gets. I paired a loose black shirt with a tight pair of skinny jeans. I decided to go off of the gladiator-esque theme of the shoes and put on the golden bib necklace. Personally, I think the necklace screams warrior woman. Am I right?! [I said that exact line to a friend and she replied with: "Those look like leaves or arrowheads"] Sigh. To each their own, I say!!

Sidenote: I always see my favorite blogger/vlogger/youtuber EssieButton sport Topshop jeans. So I had to go and try it out myself. Oh boy. Softest, stretchiest jeans ever. They also fit like a glove. :)

OOTD || Soft Fit & Flare and Caged Heels

Hello!

Sorry for the lack of update, but I was having some trouble with my editing program. My friend/photographer Deanna helped me out...so now I'm back!

Yesterday I posted these beauties on my instagram:


I found these awesome caged booties by Nine West at Nordstrom Rack for ~35 bucks and I've been obsessed with these shoes. I've been looking for a pair of caged heels for awhile, but wasn't ready to spend the dough. My eyes lit up once I tried these on. They're comfortable and so easy to walk in!

I've been playing around with them and started pairing them with some basic outfits. You'll see the second pairing in the next post!
