OOTD: Pure Comfort

authenb

All I cared about on this day was being 100% comfortable and cozy. I didn’t exactly want to wear sweat pants but I also didn’t want to wear real pants. Lol The next best thing is leggings!!! I can’t get enough of these textured leggings. The texture adds a special detail to something that has been done to death. Then all I needed was a shirt that was long enough to cover my bum. Add a sweater and light boot to complete the comfy look. Enjoy!

OOTD: Winter White❄️

I love how timeless and minimal black and white is so I wear it all the time. There are also some very classic, masculine elements to a leather crop jacket. I combined almost everything I love into this outfit including a leopard print belt. It was like wearing lingerie under your clothing. My lovely leopard print belt was hidden but I knew it was there and it put a smile on my face when I thought about it. Lol
Later in the day I took off my crop jacket and put on my cozy cream “grandma” sweater. It was just more comfortable to teach and move around in the sweater. I loved the look equally with either one. I’d love to see your take on this classic/minimal/masculine winter white outfit! Enjoy!

Transition OOTD

This OOTD is composed of 3 simple things that we all have in our closets ($ Saver). A dress, a sweater, and ballet flats is all you need! I love this outfit because it’s great for the long transition to true fall weather. In Houston one day it’s cool, fall like weather and the very next day in 99 degrees by 10am!

Going from day to night is also a breeze with this OOTD. On a warm evening remove your sweater and show a little more skin. Grab your go to heels out of the trunk of your car and you are good to go.

I would love to see your version of this OOTD! Post pictures in the comments to show it off 🙂 Enjoy!

Casual Fall OOTD

In Houston, it always seems like we don’t see real fall sweater weather until late November. Right now it’s hovering around the 60’s most mornings but heats up fairly quickly. This OOTD came about because I am a cold natured person and I needed something light to keep the chill off. The sweater is really sheer and has a loose stretchy quality to it so I never felt too warm or got sweaty when I started to warm up. I’m wearing my black and white chucks because I need comfortable shoes for all the moving around and walking I do through out the day. These can easily be switched out for black ballet flats. Enjoy!

Custom Made Minimalist Necklace

I can remember a time when my earrings were just as big as my natural hair. Both of those things have changed over the last year or two and I’ve since become very attracted to minimalist fashion including jewelry. I was looking for the perfect necklace for me which would have a thin chain,dainty charm, and maybe even an initial on it. I was having trouble finding what I wanted so I as a last resort I started looking on Etsy when I discovered the amazing shop of Stella Salvador. I love this necklace so much that I wear it EVERYDAY!  

    
 Check out www.etsy.com/shop/stellasalvador where you can check out all the other custom possibilities.

I appreciate how she gathers her inspiration and she was able to create EXACTLY what I wanted. As part of me exploring the possibility of starting a capsule wardrobe using minimalist pieces I felt like I should start now with only buying things that I love. Although a capsule wardrobe doesn’t always include jewelry, I think it’s very important my success to stay in the right mental space with loving my purchases. Enjoy!
