Sequins into Spring

Who said sequins were only for the holidays? Truth is, I once did. But now fashion is all about breaking (or bending) rules, and wearing sequins all-year round is one way to do so. If if a gold sequin top can be glamorous when paired with a black skirt or embroidered shorts with tights, it can also be dressed down for a rocker look. Worn with distressed boyfriend jeans, a leather jacker and sneakers, it can even become a casual daytime outfit! Be sure to choose your top oversized, since sequins are often sewn on stiff, non-stretchy fabrics!

My top is loose-fitting, so I'm free to swirl around as much as I can! I can also run around if my puppy Zia gets in trouble!

Frye Boots and Puppies

After almost 2 months of not posting, here I am back on track! The last few months have been hectic with a lot  of travelling and work, but my inspiration and time are back so I am sharing one of my looks with you today, along with my roommates' three dogs (in order of appearance): Charlie, Tesla and Bella. I also just got a puppy named Zia that I will introduce to you soon!

The main focus of this look is my Frye boots, that were gifted to me for completing my doctorate thesis. I was looking for an original way of wearing everyday riding boots, other than with jeans, and came up with the idea wearing them with contrasting over-the-knee socks, now that the temperature is milder here in Nashville. I'm a little tired of winter clothes and colors but I am not ready yet for spring colors, so I stick to winter basics: black, burgundy and camel. 

I had forgotten how fun it was to put together outfits and shoot pictures with a friend (I have a new photographer, my friend Ashlee). Hope you enjoyed!

Details of this look: Boots Frye, Leather Jacket Rudsak (sold out, similar here), Dress Simons (sold out), Scarf Pieces at VERO MODA (sold out, got it on sale for 5$!), Socks Urban Outfitters, Sunglasses Warby Parker (already told you about the brand here), Earrings Apricot Lane (in-store), watch and charm bracelet Fossil, Bangles Alex and Ani. The lipstick I am wearing is Givenchy.
