Denim Jacket & Sequin Skirt

Today's outfit is a causal look with a kick. Ever thought to pair a causal denim jacket with a glamorous sequin skirt? Well now you can! 
The look is perfect for an afternoon lunch on some gorgeous patio or strolling through exhibits at your local museum. The denim jacket and sequin skirt combo was created in an effort to wear this Express skirt more. The best part is the skirt can easily be utilized for a night time look.

The Perfect Kimono

The sun and the heat have been pretty intense lately. If your going to be venturing off outside in this part of the world you must be equipped to handle the heat,humidity, and the absence of an ocean breeze.  If I have to be outside for a long period of time my number one rule is to keep it loose, free, and comfortable. So, I decided to ditch my more structured assembles and go with something light, and free flowing  to enjoy some outdoor festivities.

This kimono was purchased at Target along with a summer vest, that I mentioned (here). When I first picked up the kimono, I was a bit  skeptical because I don't usually like the look of most them but I absolutely loved this one. The color, fabric, and pattern was perfect to dress up and down making it extremely versatile.

Today is also Thrift Style Thursday and the theme is bright/neon. This week I cheated by incorporating some bright pink shorts from the Gap.

I  also have been missing in action due to life, but also due to being uninspired to do anything except sleep. However, the creative juices are running again and I'm back in the full swing of things. I would also like to thank everyone for the support!!

Until Next time, 
Sincerely Miss J

The Summer Vest

Layering in the summer can pose as a real challenge, especially when the weather can get really hot and humid very quickly. However, perfecting layering is also key to combating and preparing for the summer season’s temperature changes and transitioning from the heat to cooler temperatures. You know, those days in the summer with cooler nights or mornings. Or when heading inside only to be blasted with the cold air from too much air conditioning! For today’s outfit I chose to layer with a structured summer vest. A summer vest allows you to lightly layer, but still keep it summer appropriate.

I bought this vest from Target recently, when I was just making a quick stop to get a few things. I really should of avoided the clothing section but I could not fight the urge and walked right on in.  I found a couple of really cute pieces including the vest.

Today is also Thrift Style Thursday and the theme is floral so I brought back my watercolor floral shirt seen in this post (here). The yellow in the shirt went perfectly with the yellow linen shorts from H&M.

Hoped you enjoyed the post!

Denim Romper

Photos By:  Clover D

Today's post is going back to the basics and screams simplicity, which also happens to be the theme for this weeks Thrift Style Thursday challenge. Yes, Thursday is almost done but  I really wanted to participate since I've been missing in action.

 For this outfit, I decided to pull out this denim romper I brought years ago and revive it. I love the look of overalls but don't own any, so I decided to layer a crop top underneath the denim romper to give it the illusion of overalls.

I'm sure you have all noticed that I look completely different. I decided to change things up a bit and embrace my tight kinky curls instead of straight hair for the summer. I'm still getting use to it but I'm loving it so far.

What items do you consider basics in your closet?

Until Next Time, 

Sincerely Miss J

P.S you have seen correctly I do wear different nail polish colors on each hand sometimes. Also  I'm not injured, just testing lip glosses :)

TST: Denim on Denim saluting the 90s

My love for the 90's will never die. Athough I was not old enough to remember every single detail, I do know that I loved the variety of wholesome family sitcoms such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-air, Family Matters, and Full House. I learned many valuable life lessons that were reinforced by these shows; always share, always tell the truth, and your family always has your back! The 90's also brought amazing r&b and rap music, along with great rock bands that I still jam to even now. It also brought some pretty iconic dance moves and some hip fashion! This week's Thrift Style Thursday is nineties nostalgia and the first thing that came to mind was denim. Denim was huge in the nineties, from jean jackets, vests, mommy jeans, and overalls. With the warmer weather finally coming around, I decided to do the denim on denim look with my DIY boyfriend jean shorts and my favorite chambray shirt.  I love the masculine feel of this outfit and how comfortable boyfriend jeans are compared to daisy dukes.

Outfit Information:

Blazer: thrifted, similar (here) // Shirt: Dynamite  // Boyfriend Jeans: DIY, similar (here) // Flats: Hudson Bay, old // Bag: thrifted // Necklace: thrifted //Belt: thrifted 

I would like to give a big thank you to my friend and fellow blogger  Brenda C  for taking my photos!

Neon Citrus: bright colored pants to brighten a foggy day

 

So, whose bright idea was it to shoot an outfit post in the middle of thick fog? I'll raise my hand to that. Unfortunately, Mother Nature has not been cooperating with me so I figured if you can't beat them, join them. I have been trying my best to find that hint of sunlight, but as you can see it's a no go! Although, it's probably the worst and most difficult weather to shoot anything in, there was something about the fog and dullness of the background that to me really brought out the brightness of the pants. Lately, I have been really letting my hair down and gravitating to bright things, and have come to realize that it’s a huge mood changer for me. When I wear something bright and vibrant I just hear Pharrell's 'Happy' song in my head, and have the urge to dance or skip around regardless of what's happening around me, it really makes any day go by faster when your in a pleasant mood.

Today’s Thrift Thursday theme is quirky and cute, which are probably the last words I would use to describe my personal style and my personality.Although I think quirky may describe my style a bit more than cute, it was still difficult to come up with a look. So this is what I thought quirky and cute was; bright colors, fun bold patterns, and a playful hair accessory to add that final touch of cute.

Hoped you enjoyed the post and that everyone’s enjoying their week, until next time

Sincerely Miss J
