Top Shop Fun | OOTD

authenb

Top Shop celebrated it’s 1st year in the Houston Galleria with a birthday celebration. For this runway show every model styled their own look that highlighted a new denim piece for spring/summer. Needless to say, I had an absolute blast! Fashion shows always allow me to experiment with looks with out commitment so I was in heaven. I started by picking out high waisted denim shorts. From there I fell in LOVE with this green bomber jacket. To pick up the details in the jacket I selected a red-orange body suit with a strappy back. The icing on the cake was the orange rimmed sun glasses with blue lens detail. In these pics I’m wearing my own criss cross leopard print wedges but during the show, I wore Top Shop Boho wedges. I love this fun look for beach or  festival wear.

Leave me a comment telling me what kinds of styles you would experiment with if you could do so with out commitment? Enjoy!!

Modern Tunic | OOTD

authenb

Modern Tunic, oh how I love thee, let me count the ways! It is like finding gold when you come across a garment that is truly perfect for you. First off this dress is black and white.(I’m so obsessed with these colors!!!!)  It is also modern, simple, and comfortable! The collar and partial button down placket gives it a really classic feel. Color blocked stripes on the shoulders make it sleek and adds just enough interest to the dress.

When I’m wearing this dress I don’t have to worry about it clinging to me or being too short because the crepe fabric is light and flows well. I could also take this look from day to night by starting out with a pair of chucks (To chase a rambunctious 3 year old around) and then throwing on a  pair of heels for evening. Since Grant wasn’t with me I opted for these fun criss cross leopard wedges for my day look. (Ummm, leopard prints are another obsession of mine)

I’m a minimalist at heart but color constantly calls my name so I accessorized this look with round cat eye sunglasses and a bold red-orange lip color. My black faux leather bag is simple as well but adds another element with its glossy finish.

Leave me a comment about which of your outfits is COMPLETELY perfect for you? Enjoy!

Fancy Pants

authenb

There is no doubt that this OOTD is unique, but it embodies the very idea behind Jaided325 Boutique. Jai’s mantra is” vintage meets chic” and this is a wonderfully exciting example of that!

When I first saw these “fancy pants” I knew I had to put them on my body! It’s such a fun piece with so much fluidity and movement. I must admit that I could NOT stop shaking my booty when I had these pants on! They really made it hard to stop dancing. (Ha ha) When you step into the room wearing these pants you automatically own it!  I paired them with a vintage sequin top for added contrast and glamour.

Now lets talk about the fit of the top and pants. The sequin top has a loose fit so it was begging to be tucked in. The pants are sized to European standards so I had to go up a size for them to fit comfortably. The fancy pants also have a pretty high rise and waist which I think works well for my body type. I don’t have an hourglass shape, in fact I’m pretty straight. So high rise pants give me the waist I don’t really have.

If you are looking for truly unique pieces to add to your wardrobe definitely check out Jaided325 in the Art Square Studios at 2315 Commerce.

Happy Thursday,  Enjoy!

 

  

  

 

OOTD |Unique Blazer & Denim Jumper

authenb

Any time I get dressed or go shopping the first thing that crosses my mind is “Will this be comfortable?”  This OOTD is not only comfy but it is really versatile.

I adore comfortable jumpers in general but this light denim is just right for spring. It’s on trend with a wide leg opening and has spaghetti straps for a warmer Houston day. I would wear the jumper as is with my converse for running errands and chasing Grant around. If I wanted to take this jumper to a more evening look, I would style it with a unique blazer and a nice high heel (As pictured) .

Let’s give this blazer its own moment! It’s a beautiful navy color, covered in black tassels with black lapels for the accent. This blazer would be a conversation piece any where you go, and especially at a fashion event! This blazer is definitely for the bold woman who has a uncommon fashion style and doesn’t mind standing out. If you are smitten over this click on over to Jaided325 to get this look.

Leave comments and give me your thoughts about this OOTD, Enjoy!
