Purple Paisley Person

     As the end of my Thanksgiving break comes along, I find myself digging for more and more outfits to wear to my family parties. It always seems to me that a nice sweater always feels fitting for the holiday season! For this look, I wanted to add a nice loud print and bright shoes to really make this gray sweater stand out. 
     Since this particular holiday get together was semi-formal, I wanted to wear a paisley button down I snagged from J. Crew Outlet (on sale) and this soft gray Gap sweater to wear over to keep it casual and just to layer up for warmth. Just because it was warmer in the East Bay than in San Francisco, I decided to roll up my sleeves so that the print on the shirt would be able to show a bit more. In any occasion, a ultra-black skinny jean (from H&M) are my go-to pant. It's comfy, casual, and chic! I love this look for any family dinner or even a nice lunch date!
     To really polish up the outfit, a pair of bright purple heels! I'm not entirely sure as to why I love wearing purple things- it just always seems to be the perfect pop of color! These heels from Dolce Vita (from Last Call! Neiman Marcus) are sure to make you stand out at any occasion. This statement necklace is from Macy's and I loved that the gray tone with the silver of the necklace. It really put me in the holiday mood because it jingled whenever I walked! :)
*Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and a successful Black Friday! <3

The most beautiful purple. 

Red & Blue Chevron!

      As November rolls to an end and Winter really comes along(get ready for the fog San Franciscans!), I'm hurrying to enjoy the remaining sunny days we get here in San Francisco. Luckily on this beautiful day in SF, Ryan Chua (le photographer) and I caught a break! This is look #2 for Charlotte Russe; I absolutely love wearing stripes so naturally, I very much enjoy chevron patterns too! It just goes so well with everything. The pattern looks like a zigzag to create definition and and really attracts the eyes to focus on the piece. Add any chevron item to your outfit to make any outfit stand out from the crowd ;)     
     This Charlotte Russe dress is super soft at an amazing price point. The quarter sleeve and cotton blend is just right for the San Francisco weather- it definitely kept me warm while wandering the streets of SF :) My favorite stand-out color to wear is red (it's just so bold & sexy!) and since it's nearing the end of Fall, this deep red & dark blue chevron is a great contrast!
     The shoes. These amazing shoes! Gladiator styles or any shoe with excessive laces or straps are made for me- I can't resist them! I loved these peep toe lace-up heels, it was the perfect partner for this piece. To complete the look for this dress- gold and black accessories were the way to go! To keep the color palette simple for the loud dress, I went with a gold and black plated statement necklace and a gold & black bangles set (all from Charlotte Russe).

Such a comfortable dress!

So soft :)

Girls Night Out!

This dress is perfect for a girls night out! Stripes, mesh, and circle skirts are totally trending right now and this has it all- the black and white definitely complement each other in this fun dress :)

The outfit was paired with a simple black clutch and my go-to suede black heels!

Of course, everything I wore was from the awesome charlotte russe! Always cheap & super chic!
