Fuschia Infused Winter Blues

Share

Hey yous guys…it’s been awhile but I’m finally baaaack!!! *Waves* I hope you all missed me lol. I really needed a quick end of the year breather so I took a little break, went for a nice trip back home and got some much needed r&r to recharge myself for this new year. Nothing like taking a little time to catch up on some real shut eye and clear your head. I hope your 2018 is off to a great start!! How are you all enjoying this winter so far?? I knew we were in for a doozey when it snowed down here in Georgia in November. The temps in Baltimore were in the teens and it felt like single digits while I was there…I mean it was suuuper freezing!!! I came back home to Georgia and although it wasn’t as cold it was still a bit chilly. I have to say I am totally over this weather though!! I am soooo not a cold weather/winter person and am looking forward to the warmer spring air, along with the birds chirping, all the pretty blossoming flowers and all that cliche stuff lol. But in the meantime, I guess we just have to suck it up and make the most of it….Right?? And a true fashionista can slay all season long, so making the most of this weather is zipping up those fly leather boots, throwing on that cozy chunky sweater, and throwing that fancy cashmere shawl around your shoulders like a BOSS and moving like this weather doesn’t even faze you!!! But it does lol….But we’re not gonna show it. We’re just going to march right along, move in silence and let our outfits do all the talking. Therefore for this winter look I chose this colorfully cozy, bold and casual look.

So I chose this vibrant chunky knit sweater for this particular look. I just loved how comfortable, warm and relaxing it felt on. I love a nice cozy sweater that hugs you like your favorite security blanket that rocks you quietly to sleep but still exudes a sense of style and poise. The long cowl neck collar is also one of my favorite elements in winter clothing. I just love a dramatic collar that can be manipulated and styled in so many ways. I really wanted some bold color for this outfit so I loved the striking royal blue along with the grey and white intertwined. I thought the colors were so pretty and chic and I loved how everything just meshed so well together...

I chose a plain pair of light blue jeans for this outfit to play the background. I thought a simple pair of plain streamlined jeans with a slight boot cut worked perfectly with my bold sweater and all the pops of colors which did all the talking.

I really wanted this outfit to pop so I chose to infuse it with another strikingly bold color like fuschia. I thought these fuschia pumps by Charles David were a great match and I loved how all the colors paired alongside each other. The nice sleek and clean shape of a simple pump peeking from below my jeans both enhanced the look and feel of this casual yet still very comfortably classy outfit.

I also chose a fuschia colored clutch as my bag again pulling that pop of color into my outfit. I loved the brightness of the bag along with just the simplicity in style and shape. Clutches are always a great and easy way to heighten an overall look and add pops of color to an outfit.

Last but not least I chose this bright royal blue hijab that went perfectly with the blue in my sweater and these refashioned white leather earrings. I actually have a YouTube hijab tutorial video on the different ways I wrap and style my hijab as well as a tutorial on these leather earrings I refashioned out of an old boot. Yes you read that right….I am now officially a YouTuber!! Yaaaaaay!!! I am so happy to have a more interactive medium to share with you all and use in conjunction with my blog. I hope you all will be joining me on my Youtube journey. .

Welp, that’s it for today you guys. I hope you enjoyed this bold and classy yet casual winter look of mine. We might be a little cold right now but atleast we’re going to be cold and comfy in style for sure lol!! Again It feels so good to be back…looking forward to this year and all it has to offer!! Praying we all have a blessed positive and productive year. Until next time…don’t forget to stay and slay on a budget!!! *Waves*
