Be Bold, Bejeweled

Posted on October 28, 2014 by karissaestrada

Being bold and brave when choosing your outfit of the day can be hard. What will people think of you? My answer to that question is I really don’t give a hoot. I’ve said this before but I dress based on my mood not on other peoples opinion of me. If I’m wearing a t-shirt and jeans that just means I’d much rather be sitting at home on the couch curled up with my hot cheetos. If I’m wearing a maxi skirt, I’m in the mood to be extra girly…lets go shopping. If I’m wearing sweats, back away and I mean far far away because I’m about to have a mental breakdown. But If I’m dressed like I am in this post, I’m ready to take on the world. Nothing says world denomination like some black leather pants and a neoprene boxy top.

I don’t feel like dressing up or doing anything actually when the weather is dark and cloudy. I get extremely lethargic when I go long periods without seeing the sun. I don’t know if I’m the only one but my happy/optimistic mood decreases when winter time approaches. If I could control the weather I would keep it 70 degrees and the sun shining all year around. But that’s not the case. I get extremely worried when this time of year rolls around because I see more sad days than I do happy days. I should seriously consider moving to California. Let’s take a day like today for example. It’s cold and rainy, I see no sign of life outside.. ok that’s dramatic but it’s icky and I’m not a fan. I haven’t left my bed all day because of it. Netflix might have been a factor to that too but whatever. Bad weather keeps me inside all day.

Silver lining: I have more time to style some future outfits, read some books, and blog. Gosh…working for a fashion magazine sounds so good right now. Anywhere hiring? Vogue? Marie Claire? I’m kidding…no I’m not.

Xoxo,

Movie Date Night Outfits

Posted on October 26, 2014 by karissaestrada

Nothing is better than seeing a movie with your partner in crime. It’s Wyatt and I’s absolutely favorite thing to do on a Friday Night. We sometimes get dressed up, go out to a nice restaurant, and watch a good flick. We decided on “Fury” because it was the only movie we wouldn’t be late to. We are ALWAYS running to late to movies. I don’t know how we manage to do it every single time but we do. Fury was actually really good. I’ll watch anything that Shia LaBeouf is in. He’s my number one forever.

Our outfits: No matter the agenda, on date night we have to be comfortable. High waisted pants and a crop top for me and a baseball 3/4 sleeve tee for Wyatt. Getting ready for date night is a huge part of date night. And it’s probably one of my favorite parts too. I’ve tried so hard to get Wyatt out of his comfort zone and to wear other things but it’s NOT happening. If he’s comfortable in jeans and tee (more like workout clothes) every single day, than I’ll just have to deal with it. One of the hardest things for a fashion blogger is to dress her boyfriend. They like what they like and there’s no changing that. Trust me, I’ve tried. I have to pick my battles with this one.

Xoxo,

You Are My Sunshine

Posted on October 24, 2014 by karissaestrada

“… my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey.” The best possible thing for me to do when I’m feeling down is to dress like I’m sunshine. I went a straight week feeling sorry for myself. I wore the same t-shirt and leggings for a good five days. I was feeling insecure, down, and unworthy. WHY.WHY.WHY do I do that to myself? I know I can’t be the only one. Sometimes being a slob, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. re-runs, and eating endless amounts of chocolate is all a girl really needs. After I was done being annoying, I decided to brush myself off, tell myself that I’m enough, put on these pants, and WA-LA… I was born again. I need my sad days. But the best way to get over those sad days is put on some bright yellow pants. Seriously, who needs medication when these bad boys did the trick.

At my job, I see way too many insecure women. It breaks my heart. I just want to scream at them as say “ARE YOU SERIOUS! YOU ARE BREATHTAKING!” I know we all have those insecurities. I have plenty. But we can’t let those small, insignificant details define us. Never let them break you. I’m just 20. I still have a lot of growing up to do and a lot of things about myself that I just need to accept. Before you begin to feel sorry for yourself, run to your closet, snuggle with your favorite item of clothing (your sunshine) and be thankful. Life is a WAY too short to not feel beautiful every singe day.

Overalls Over All, Baby

Posted on October 18, 2014 by karissaestrada

Overalls have always been my favorite item of clothing but good ones can be hard to find. Figuring out a good outfit can be harder. I think the easiest way to rock some overalls this fall is a sweater (or cropped sweater like mine) and combat boots. Don’t forget to accessorize. To some of you, overalls might be a bold choice, but I swear they are so fun. If you’re the type that is always worried about how other people see you, thats not the way to live sweetheart. It’s all about how YOU see you and how YOU feel. You cannot hold yourself back from wearing an amazing outfit just because you think others will judge you. I made that decision a long time ago and I’ve never looked back. When you think about it, life is too short to wear a t-shirt and jeans. Have some fun with your outfits. People will appreciate that you let your personality shine through. Trust me.

I just realized I’m wearing a nude lip. Oh my gosh. That never happens. You guys know I’m stuck on the wine colored lipstick at the moment. It’s weird seeing me in a normal lip color. BEFORE YOU GO, check out a more girly take on this cropped sweater that I styled –> here.

October Outfit

Posted on October 16, 2014 by karissaestrada

I couldn’t imagine a more perfect Autumn day than the one in this blog post. The colors, the breeze, the atmosphere…absolutely everything was perfect. That’s what its all about. I just love life on days like these. Nothing brings positivity more than being outside on an October day. I found this charming spot somewhere in downtown Denver. The pros of downtown: Different people. The cons of downtown: Different people. I’ve always loved the vibe of being in the middle of the city but some days (most days) I don’t want to deal with all the sirens, impatient people, and traffic. I’d rather be snuggling up with my love at home watching Big Bang Theory and stuffing my face. I am such an introvert. Probably more than I need to be. But it’s nice, once in a while, to explore this city and get out of the same old routine. It’s a good feeling knowing that its there but that I can still head back to my quiet little spot that I call home whenever I feel like.

I don’t have much to say about the outfit besides the fact that it’s so perfect for fall. I’m trying to embrace earthy/neutral tones more. I’ve just always loved my pops of color and bold/bright accents. Adding this turquoise necklace made me feel more at home and you know me, I can’t live without lipstick. This color is like a nude lipstick to me. I wear it all the time, day in and day out. It’s my favorite fall lipstick ever and its drugstore. Woot Woot.

P.s. This wool Anthropologie hat is STUNNING. It’s so beautifully made. By far the best hat I own. Buy it (here).
