I like to have fun with clothes!

To find the styles I like I am constantly flipping through magazines, and paying attention to outfits on celebrities that have my body shape. Also, I love to find fun pieces from everywhere from vintage stores, to low-end and high-end stores.

There is always a diamond in the rough waiting to be found! No matter where I shop I am always reverting back to the styles, fabric, and cut of each article of clothing that I have liked in an outfit. These simple blueprints help with the mixing, matching, and pairing of clothes.

My go-to article of clothing is the blazer. They can be paired with anything from a relaxed outfit like a baggy shirt, leggings, and sneakers to an evening dress for a date. They can even be buttoned up over a knee length dress to give the illusion of a suit when going to work or paired with slacks.

Animal prints can be paired with anything as well. Cheetah and snake skin are classics and reoccur every other to every few years.

I try to snatch up vintage belts, purses, and shoes in these materials, because they can be paired with anything! A snake skin purse can be worn with anything from a little black dress and sexy heels to a sweater, jeans and ankle booties.

Nude and gray pumps are the best and can go with suits, mini skirts, baby doll dresses, and jeans and a t-shirt. Black booties are also simple and can be warn with a pair of jeans and a sweater, or a short dress, and can also give some edge to a cute ballerina skirt paired with a tank, cardigan and chain necklaces.

I always try to have fun with clothes because they let others see a little insight to my personality.
