CAUTION: Railroad Crossing

Matching outfits and gladiator shoes have been one of this season's trending items and I finally understand why. Not only is the matching combo chic, it is something so fun to grab and dress up or down. 

I decided to wear my favorite lace up gladiator sandals to give this wild print a little more edge. The hat was an accessory I decided to throw in there simply because I just bought it and couldn't wait to wear it. ( I know I seem a little antsy or pressed lol.) With the particular location of this shoot I really am glad that I decided to stick the hat in there. 

Originally skeptical about buying these over priced gladiator sandals from Zara I am so happy with my choice. The matching print crop outfit was also a little out of my comfort zone but I immediately warmed up to the idea once I started accessorizing it. I decided to dress this down this time around but in the future I may throw on some really cute wedges, lose the hat, change the lip, and dress it up a little. 

What is your outtake on matching outfits for this summer? How have you styled the Zara Leather Roman Sandals? 

Cape Blazer & Purple Hair

It summer time and to continue my wild hair color expedition, I chose to dye my hair purple. I was truly going for a really dark deep eggplant color however it did not turn out that dark but I still enjoy it. After 4 hair dyes I finally got a color I am satisfied with. And after so much working, a day to take to blog.

The staple items in our closet are always the ones that make the most simplest, comfortable, chic outfits.

I took my favorite pair of mom jeans, a basic black tank top, and a blazer and put it all together to compel this simple but chic outfit.This particular blazer is a cape blazer and was originally inspired by Kenya from Real Housewives of Atlanta. It does at a twist of sexy to this outfit. I then chose my open toe red heels with matching clutch and Coquettish accessory.

It is summertime so let them pedicured toes show. If I decide to wear something like this in the fall or another occasion I would definitely do a printed leopard heel or classic nude.

For me on a day off this is perfect. I was still able to make visits, run errands, and enjoy the bar scenery. Share with me your version of the classic blazer, jeans, and heels outfit. What do you think of the cape blazer and purple hair?
