Ask Cinderella

Happy Saturday!

At one point in time, I remember myself being terribly addicted to shopping. My greatest addiction happened to be shoes. It was so bad that I wouldn't go out with hopes of saving more to buy shoes. (sounds really bad, but I'm woman enough to admit it). I literally only left my house to go to work and that was it! I had to keep great heels for days that I didn't feel my best. I can't explain the magic you feel with high heels, ask Cinderella!

My addiction isn't as bad now, but I still have a great love for shoes. The best outfits start with great shoes. I always pick out my shoes for any outfit before actually looking for any clothes or accessories.

Today, I chose to start with these Zara fringed babies! With these shoes, I know I could conquer the world. A good fringe and high heel just go together like white on rice! (Yup, I'm corny lol)

"Cinderella is proof that a pair of shoes can change your life!"

I added a grey skirt and a cream tank and blazer too. Since the outfit was so neutral, I thought it would pop more if I added a bright color bag.

Expensive Taste

Hi ladies!

 

As a child, many of us were completely clueless. Some of us believed that "money grew on trees!" I just knew that when I grew up, I could just go swipe a card or write a check for whatever shoes, clothes, or purses I wanted!

 

Boyyyyyyyy was I wrong! Reality soon kicked in a few years ago for me, when my parents began handing me bills! The day that I began spending my own money, I learned that I had "Champagne taste on a beer budget" (Sad day!). I've always been taught to adapt to my environment and accept things for what they are.

 

Sooooooo... I learned how to shop on a budget!(after bills---hate them!) The sale rack doesn't look so bad after all! 

 

 I got this shirt for a steal deal! Only $9.50!!! I dressed it up a little more by tying it in a knot.

 

 I paired the shirt with an assymetrical skirt and fringe sandals!

 

The most expensive thing I'm wearing for this look was the sandals that I found on sale for $20!

What I Wore:

Hat F21 | Top F21 | Skirt GoJane.com | Bangles F21 | Shoes Buckle

 

What shopping lessons have you learned after spending on your own????

Neutrals

Happy Friday! 

If you're anything like me, you race to the washer to wash your favorite clothing item! This olive skirt is actually a dress, happens to be one of my current favorites.

I find a way to wear this dress very often. This time, I added my favorite gray crop top over the dress to switch up the dress that I wear often. It's just something about gray with olive that I absolutely love!

To add the finishing touches, I also incorporated another neutral color. I made sure that the camel color was found in all my accessories including my necklace, my clutch and the heels.

Hope you like!

Xoxo,

Honeyy <3

I Got the Blues

Hi Ladies!

 

I hope all is well. If you work over an hour from home, then you understand my pain. Many days I feel blue in the mornings. I can't help but think about the amount of traffic or lame drivers on the road.  (BLAAAHHHH!!)

 

On the worst days, those days when I feel sluggish, I throw on different colors to change my mood. What better colors to combine than different shades of blue?? The lighter shade of blue (shoe/necklace color) is my absolute favorite color to wear, especially when it comes to color blocking. I have to tell myself not to wear them daily, but of course I never win. Somehow, I manage to find a way to incorporate them into any work outfit.

 

I often find myself motivated by the quote, "If you don't like something, then change it!" I hated feeling blue every morning, so I played with different colors to improve my mood :)

 

Be Inspired!

P.S.

 

I love a simple dress for work. I just add blazers and accessories to change them up. This makes them very versatile. For example, this dress is also my sexy, elegant party dress. I wore it to my grandmother's 70th birthday party! (One of my favorite looks!)

Hi Ladies!

I L I V E for a comfy and chic look!! I love to be absolutely comfortable, yet sexy and fashionable at the same time. There's so many different ways to switch this look up.

For example, I added a jean jacket around my waist. You could also wear this look with Chuck Taylors or sandals to switch it up.

I L O V E D adding the heels with the sweats. Sweats with heels are a match made in heaven!  It's just something about having the best of both worlds! If it's chic and comfy, count me in!!!

Be Inspired,

Xoxo,

Honeyy
