Back to the Basics: The trench coat and stripes

Although the trench coat is considered by many to be a basic and essential item, I have never owned one until recently. Upon seeing this coat, I figured that I might add it to my closet and perhaps sneak at least some wear out of it before the weather becomes too warm to layer. This coat, particularly, is lightweight and less structured than other trench coats that initially caught my eye. Its only downside is its tendency to wrinkle (at the bottom when sitting), however it will do for the time being.

Today's outfit is rather basic but I enjoyed wearing it; ideal to wear on a day of errand-running. While the colour palette is not overly spring like or summery, the black and white with a neutral khaki colour serves to create a causal yet polished look.
Absence indeed does make the heart grow fonder. I have been on an unintentional mini-break from the blog. I missed it tremendously and I'm  happy to get back to posting. Unfortunately, last week was definitely a "workaholic" week--working endlessly and jumping from afternoon to night shifts, all while running around the city to attend numerous media events. Thanks for your support, guys. Hope you liked the post!

Until Next Time:
Sincerely Miss J

Back to the Basics With a Hint of Sparkle

As you probably noticed, on this particular day the sun was not exactly "beaming". I decided, even with the cloudy forecast, cold weather, and the wind that I was going to share with you, an outfit that I call "back to the basics". It's causal with a twist. I decided to pair a beaded gold blazer and gold embellished pumps with a basic pair of jeans and a white bottom up shirt.
I'm also excited to announce that I'm almost done my second year of graduate school. One more exam to go, until I get my much needed break until Septemeber. Therefore, that  means more to come for this blog, so stay tuned. I wanted to also announce this because this year has been filled with many physical, emotional and spiritual struggles, that left me thinking, maybe I should just quit.However, I never did, and realized, that when you put your energy into working your butt off to make things better, it's possible to achieve many things regardless of the obstacles.I also wanted to thank you all for the support for the blog and this blog for being that creative outlet that got me through a lot of those rough times.

Until Next Time, 
Sincerely Miss J
