Black & (Mustard) Yellow

     I been wanting a leather (pleather) skirt for such a long time and I finally had time to really go look for one this past week! I had a one hour shopping break from finals and I needed to de-stress...at the mall.
     This look was pretty straight forward. The focus was to be on this Forever 21 asymmetrical skirt. The zipper detailing really caught my eye and for this skirt, I actually went a size up (small to medium) just because I didn't want it to be too short. The top is also from Forever 21 and it's a F21 Basic that was priced at about $7! Such a steal for a beautifully colored turtleneck. I've worn this countless time over the course of 3 years (yes, I've had it for that long) and it hasn't faded or pilled- I am impressed :)
     Threw on a scarf because it wasn't too cold, but it was windy. This scarf was a hand-me-down so I'm not particularly sure where it's from, but I found similar ones here. I don't know about you guys, but I tuck my hair into my scarves when it gets windy to keep it from flying everywhere! Seeing that it was an unusually sunny day in SF, I welcomed my Ray Bans back (also featured here with Mickey Mouse). Keeping the pleather theme, my Jessica Simpson pumps were the quintessential piece to finish the look.


Keeping myself cozy



I felt like a bumblebee here with no scarf!

Cheetah Everything.

     I am an avid cheetah print fan. I don't know why, but something about it just catches my eye. I'm pretty sure I have something in cheetah print for every piece of clothing (pants, shirts, shoes, you name it!). To be honest, I think I'm just a lover of prints and colorful things. 
     This Charlotte Russe dress is amazing- I love fit and flare dresses! They're so flattering for every body type (don't you think so?) and this color is just perfect for the holiday season. The sheer piece over this dress gives it a super romantic touch with a bit of a rocker flare. I wanted to stay in the print series and went with these lace-up cheetah print shoes (also from Charlotte Russe). I absolutely love lace up shoes because they make for a more casual piece that's great for everyday wear! The look was completed with a jeweled necklace and a chic bracelet/bangles series to accessorize and if you're looking for outerwear, a denim or leather jacket would be perfect! :)
