All black everything, how I like it

Hello everyone, I am back so soon with another outfit post.

I will not say too much today but will  leave you with this quote that I think everyone should live by, and one I will continue to live by in 2013.

" When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It's not up to other people to keep you encouraged. it's up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside."- Unknown

Enjoy,

The Causal of Days

Hello Everyone I hope everyone is well,

Firstly,  I have instagram! So feel free to add me at smissj. I shall try to figure out how to add a
 bottom on the blog eventually to link the two.

 For the past 2 weeks, we have had some snow and very cold weather, so my outfits lately, have usually consisted of layering myself up. These pictures were taken before it was -20 degree Celsius.
 If you want to stay stylish and chic this winter, the best investments pieces are coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. Keep warm and still look great!As for this look, it's my causal errand look. I also have natural hair, and had my hair in single twists. I then threw on a beanie, which has become my life saver. Anyways, hope you all enjoy the look.

So what's under the jacket you ask? I know, that is very important too. Well it's a graphic sweatshirt, layered under a large bottom up shirt. So, until next time!!!

Tis a new year...

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the absence but with the holidays, things have been a bit hectic. However, I am back with hope and determination that 2013 shall also be a good year. I also hope it shall be a great year for all of you as well. I have so many things I want to accomplish, but many barriers still stand in the way. However, with faith, motivation, and hard work most of the barriers can be knocked down. So, cheers to new beginnings. 

This is the first outfit post of the year and hopefully it inspires you. I had this plain black dress from Zara and I thought to myself how can I spice it up.?So I decided to make my own peplum belt out of some tribal print fabric and a thrifted brown belt. Unfortunately, the event that I was heading to was cancelled but I thought I would post it anyways.

I am now on instagram so if you are interested in adding me, please add smissj

Anyways, I am not sure why I was extra happy that day, maybe because I was fighting the cold, lol. 

Until Next time: 

sincerely miss J

Blazer Obession

Hey Everyone,

Just here with a quick outfit post of the day, it is a causal look that I wore a few weeks ago. Everything is thrifted except for the winter jacket, bag and coloured jeans. I love this look because it's the perfect example of how you can mix more expensive things with less expensive things. The ultimate steal was the boots that I scored for $9.00, pretty much brand new in the summer. The irony is, I have seen many similar ones selling for $125 or over.

 I also love blazers and secretly collect them. I think I may have one in every colour, lol. However, I find myself never wearing them until now, this week I went through at least 3 of them and now I think I'm fixed. Blazers are great layering options for the winter time.

 

Well until Next time,

Sincerely Miss J

Night and Day

Hello Everyone,

Have you ever had to be at one place during the day and that same day be someone else in the evening? Like a day of shopping and an evening of dinner and drinks. Oh, gosh it happens to me all the time. So, make it easier on your self and transform that same outfit with no effort. Use accessories, footwear, and makeup to transform your self from day to night.

 I threw on a black faux fur style vest and a pair of black heels and now I am ready for the night.

Also, I will be starting a DIY fashion segment and room organization segment so please stay tune.

Until Next time,

That's Just Me

Hey Everyone,

So the other day I was asked "how would I described my style" and the first word that came to me was practical! So, why did I say practical, well  because that's exactly what it is. My life is busy and full of running here and there, literally. When I'm in class or walking around campus I need to be 100% comfortable. Therefore, wearing Christian Louboutins or stiff materials just doesn' t do it for me, lol. However, I must salute the ones who are accustomed to wearing these things 24hours a day. Therefore, I would described my style as practical, with combinations of masculine, feminine and chic items and ranges from highend to thrifted items. I'm not a glamorous type of girl, but I can be when the time is right. I am a simple chic, and to me simplicity is best because individuals are able to see your true beauty and essence and not be distracted by so many other things going on.

This is something that I wore a day before Halloween I think. I actually had to run in and change my bag because it was raining and the leather straps and rain do not mix on the monogram patterned bags. Which is one downfall about the bag.
