Outfit Crush: Winter Sweater

I came across this cute layered look on Style Caster last week and it shared 50 winter outfits to copy right now. There were quite a few that I saved to my inspiration list and this is one of my favs. It is worn by blogger Irena from A Portable Package who's also a dentist by day. Pretty cool, huh? She has a really nice style with looks that most of us would love to copy and make our own.

Feeling Green

Hey there! Did you enjoy your extended weekend? I had a good weekend. We went to a surprise birthday dinner, did a little shopping, relaxed, and pushed back the chores to Monday. All was well until I got sick Monday evening. What a great way to get back to work! Having a cold won't stop me from doing what I do but I really wish it would go away. Hence the title of this post. I'm feeling green with envy that I have a cold and you don't. Although I think my sick voice is pretty sexy right now. ;-). Here's what I wore.

Mid-Week OOTD - Detached Collars

Hey there! It's Wednesday and it's time for my OOTD for work. I know I'm kind of late, but I really like the detached collar trend. You can buy it already made or you can make it yourself. It comes in different prints and patterns and with many embellishments such as studs, pearls, and diamonds. A few weekends ago, I went to a couple of thrift stores specifically to find some shirts that I can make my collars with. I found one with a nice print and one that was all white (yes it was both clean and white).

DIY: Cap Toe Shoe

I've noticed many women wearing cap toe shoes, whether it's pumps, boots, or flats. There's white caps, gold and silver metallic, a lighter shade on a darker shade of the same color family. It's on leather, suede, and patent leather materials. I think this trend is cool so I thought that I would try to find me a pair. While browsing my favorite online shoe stores and window shopping in the malls, I realized that most of the pretty versions just cost too damn much. But I should be able to make my own, right?

DIY: Polka Dots

Happy Saturday!! It's been so long since my last post. Like weeks, right? Well, that's how long it felt to me. Actually, it's only been 5 days. But isn't that like FOREVER in the blog world? I've been taking pictures but I didn't like the way they turned out so I refused to post them. I just can't seem to get the posing right and I don't think I'm very photogenic. But I'm working on it and when I get it right, "'Unh Unh, you can't tell me nuthin!!" And, that's why I've been hiding.

Today's DIY will showcase the polka dot trend. It is mostly done with fabric or acrylic paint, but it can also be done by cutting circles out of your choice of fabric or with batting. This project can be time consuming depending on which method you choose. But most DIY projects are.

Mid-week OOTD - Blue

I usually don't attempt to dress cute during the week for work. Sometimes, maybe once a week, I'll try to make an effort to put something nice together. I know I should look good every day of the week, rain or shine, but I'm kind of lazy. Plus there's no one there to see how cute I am, except for my boss, who's a septuagenarian.
