All Black Everything With A Pop of Gold

American Rag Faux Leather Peplum Top - seen here, H&M faux fur vest - seen here, bebe basic legging, Loft flats - similar here, gold belt from a dress - similar here, vintage necklace

Happy Wednesday my lovely readers!

This weeks post is an outfit that I wore to work the other day. I wanted to dress up but still be warm enough to survive this week of snow storms, if you haven't heard the NorthEast keeps getting hit with snow storms :( 

I paired this cute peplum top with my faux fur vest to both stay warm and hide the fact that this top doesn't quite fit me around the shoulders. (Quick tip: when it comes to items that don't quite fit right but you're not sure about hemming, layering is a super easy way to hide the imperfections and get creative with your looks!) 

I really wanted this necklace to stand out with this look, hence the black on black on black. It belonged to my grandmother and I found it while rummaging through some things of hers that I had. I thought it was super chic and modern but loved that it was vintage! I added the gold belt, which came with a random dress, to make the color pop a bit more. A quick sock bun, some black flats, and my go-to black and gold watch completed this look.

How do you make your focal pieces pop? Let me know in the comments below<3

As always, thanks for reading!!

Make A Statement: Faux Fur and Chain Link

h&m faux fur vest - similar here, basic white tank - similar here, bebe high waist leggings, bebe colorblock fringe necklace, R2 Mackenzie boot

For today's post I decided to show all of you lovely readers an outfit I recently wore to work. Here I'm wearing a beautiful new vest I purchased from H&M. I love that the vest is a mix of colors instead of a solid tone. I find it adds a more textured look to what is, in reality, a very simple outfit. Since the vest is so loud I paired it with a basic white tank and my oh so comfortable high waisted leggings from bebe. Personally, my thighs are a little thicker from working out so I have trouble squeezing into leggings that have too many seams, but these leggings fit PERFECTLY. They are beyond comfortable and I love the high waisted look because it's very figure flattering. I added to the look by wearing this funky chain link fringe necklace, I think it really plays off of the colors and texture going on in the vest. To complete my ensemble I threw on a pair of black wedge boots. This look is great for going out and can be dressed down a bit by wearing a flat shoe instead of a heel. Would you rock a look like this? Tell me about your favorite statement pieces in the comments below!
