Spring Preview!!

Hello Everyone, 

 So sorry that I have disappeared into the real world, school and work have been kicking my butt as of late. However, the end of school is somewhat near, well kind of! I am actually running to the library right now, and thought let me post this outfit post before I completely forget about it. Due to my crazy schedule, I now plan my outfits in advance and take pictures of them so I remember the combo I put together. Let me tell you, this planning business really helps.

So here is a simple  outfit in celebration of spring, which officially starts today. However, with the snow and major cold this week and yesterday, I will predict that spring weather may come much later this year. Now onto the outfit, my favorite part about this outfit is the Mango skirt, which I scored at the thrift store's 50% off sale awhile back. So I think it was no more than $3.

Anyways, Hope you enjoy the post!

Love Miss J

Thrift Store Finds

Hello Everyone, 

       I am back with a quick haul post. I was given the suggestion from some of my friends to post my beloved thrift store finds. Thought it was a good idea for you guys to be able to see what I got. All of the items  are from  Value Village's 50% off sale that they recently had.

Why do you thrift Shop?

When I thrift shop I often find amazing quality items for low prices.Thrifting also allows me to keep up with the current trends and find unique items without breaking the bank.
 Many people have the misconception that when you thrift, you can only discover vintage items. This is not necessarily  true, you can find current trends and basics if you know how to look. As you can see from my blog I am a thrifter but I am not really into vintage wear. So, now we move onto the haul.

Tommy Hilfiger shorts, almost brand new

RW & Co. blazer brand new

brand New

Loved these pointed black low heels
Brand new
I will be doing some alterations to the dress and black and white shorts. So, please stay tuned to see how I style these items

Hope you enjoy the haul until next time
Sincerely Miss J

Monochromatic

Hello Everyone,
    The outfit post today showcases the monochromatic look using the oxblood colour trend. If you are a frequent visitor to my blog than you already know how much I love this colour, and these jeans by Guess.  What's also interesting about the outfit is the fact that  95% of it is thrifted. Yes, the grand total from top to bottom is less than $70. Now some people may say "Oh gosh $70, that's pricey". However, please keep in mind that this includes the hat, necklace, sweater, cardigan, jeans ( Guess jeans  not thrifted) and booties. So, who says you can't look on trend and chic on a major budget.

To break down the monochromatic look and keep me a bit warmer I opted for this greyish/black cardigan with black piping. When I saw it at the thrift store I fell in love with it. I also wore my black coat and a scarf when I actually left the house.

Well until next time!
Sincerely Miss J

Winter Flowers

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well. I have been a bit under the weather and drained as of late, and I hope it does not show too much in this post. However, I wanted to share with  all of you another outfit of the day. 

Floral was a big trend from last spring, and I'm sure you all may remember these pants from h&m. Regardless, I still love them and they are the main focus for today's winter outfit.

 

For some people a patterned pant may be difficult to style, but here I decided to pull out one colour from the pants ( purple) and match the top. By doing this, it allows the pants to stay the focus and the outfit not to look too busy. I also decided to wear black, but play with texture. The coat has faux leather arms and tweed and the boots are suede.

I'm not a big jewelery wearer, but there was something about this necklace that I found so appealing. It's simple but very unique in it's own way.

I hope you all enjoyed the post and  thank you all for your support
Until next time,
Sincerely Miss J

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!!!
