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!

Holiday Party

     Let the Christmas parties begin! I always find it super easy to just slip on a red dress during the holidays and be on merry way. For some reason, the color red has always been my favorite color- it's so bold, sexy, and such an eye catching shade to wear. 
     This dress is a body con dress I found at Forever 21 for under $15! Such a steal for a multipurpose dress. I've worn it a couple of time (to dinners and girls night outs) and I found a couple of ways to style it. I typically wear this with no stockings or with super sheer stockings but for the sake of the weather today (which was freezing at ~45 degrees) I went with a more opaque stocking. I actually doubled up on jackets because I was so cold and good thing I did- it was extra chilly today. So I wore this look two ways, with a longer gray coat that has a military flare to it (from Macy's) and a cotton/pleather jacket from Charlotte Russe.
     To accessorize, I wore a couple of gold bracelets from Charlotte Russe (not pictured here) and a smaller statement necklace that I got from J. Crew (it's defintely one of my favorites!) Threw on a pair of Jessica Simpson pumps from Nordstrom Rack and off I went to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season!

Looks like ornaments :)
