casual holiday.

Casual Holiday by thesuitfordreams 

Enza Costa short sleeve shirt, $83 / AllSaints short sleeve shirt / Mango leather pants, $185 / Givenchy high heels / Christian Louboutin summer shoes / Vionnet black sandals / 3.1 Phillip Lim mini satchel handbag / Balenciaga leather coin purse / Alexander McQueen clutch  / DANNIJO necklace / Ted Baker necklace, $79 

I hadn't been on Polyvore for quite some time, not sure why... I mean, who wouldn't want to create outfits with pieces we only wish we owned? I created this set with the holiday party season in mind.  I don't know about you, but I hate wearing party dresses.  Well, I mean I like a good shift but when I think of the constant roaming and sitting at a party, I need to be comfortable.  Let's face it, I am a black skinny jeans kind of girl all the way, but who says they can't work when done properly?  At this year's party, why not opt for some chic black tailored pants, a good top, and some minimal pumps, all topped off with a clutch and statement necklace.  The best part is you can mix and match if you were to purchase pieces along these lines - enough ammo for several parties x

Enjoy.

meet my other half.

it started with the blog and evolved into a truly creative outlet, and out came tsfd x the suit for dreams.  just in case you didn't know, i sell jewelry and will be adding more designs soon!  i'll be doing my first craft fair next month (locally at my campus) and although it isn't a huge event, it's a big step for me enhancing my local presence!  should be fun.  

Make sure to stop by my Etsy shop! www.thesuitfordreams.etsy.com

pretty tough.

 // top: no rest for bridgette // skirt: f21 // boots: h&m // sunglasses: target // bangle: jewelmint

it was hot today and pants were just not a comfortable option, so I wore this maxi skirt. i love the way boots toughen up the look, and I really love that this top is 1) navy and 2) covered in polka dots and bows. pretty tough look, no? ;) and ps, I look angry in these but I swear it's the food coma seeping through haha...I ate a mean veggie sandwich right before these photos were taken.

...blooper pic?

// denim button down: f21 // tribal print trousers: topshop // heels: zara // bracelets: tsfd, f21, swarovski wrap bracelet DIY gift from the bf //

this is my idea of comfortable-chic - I like wearing stuff that doesn't fit into a certain mold, and I am definitely OK with that.  oh and the title of this post -  payin' homage to bloggers and the crazy (well, to the general public that is) outfits and trends we partake it.  today at lunch I was directly asked if I blog.  I later discovered it was these pants that elicited the inquiry.  all I thought to myself was that I would be wearing them anyways... :)  

ps, I can't seem to pry myself away from neon-painted toes.  I love how it accidentally adds a pop of color to a look. Give it a try!
