Chartreuse & Tulle

Posted on October 4, 2014 by karissaestrada

Hey guess what? You know that neon vomite green color, otherwise known as chartreuse? Well, it’s my favorite color of all time. I’ve said this before but unique colors are my favorite. I get all sorts of happy when I see this color. Weird? Ya…a little. I know I wear this skirt all the time but thats because it goes with ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. There’s not one thing that can look bad when its paired with this tulle skirt. I wish I could tell you all wear to buy one but I got this years ago at a lovely boutique in Durango, CO. I’ve never looked back. It’s one of those pieces that I will never ever get rid of, even if you paid me. It’s too stunning and I’ve made way too many memories in it. When I’m in any sort of doubt, I run to this little guy. He has my back that’s for sure. Also, I’ve been very impressed with the H&M Fall Collection this year. I’ve bought more from them this year than ever before. It’s still not my absolute favorite place to shop but they do have great pieces that aren’t too expensive if you’re on a budget like me. This top, for example, is under $50 AND I get loads of compliments when I wear it. Not too mention it’s real cozy. That’s an A+ in my book.

Xoxo,

| Cropped Sweaters with Dresses |The New Thing

Posted on September 30, 2014 by karissaestrada

My new favorite thing to do is wear sweaters over dresses. A cropped sweater is even better to pair with a flowy dress like this one. It’s one of the newest and easiest trends this fall. Why get rid of all your summer dresses when all you have to do is pair it with some jeans, boots, and throw on a cardi? Innovation at its best ladies.This post is a more girly take on this Anthropologie cropped sweater but trust me I have a post coming soon for all you tomboyish peeps out there. Just don’t forget to Subscribe or like my Facebook page to keep updated with all things Karissa Marie!

Tip of the Day! Play around with your wardrobe, look at your older pieces and merge them into your newer ones. All of the possibilities will surprise you. Have fun with what you have and try not to stress about buying more clothes because trust me, I’m sure you have plenty. Blast some music and put on a fashion show for yourself. I’m sure you’ll come up with some great outfit ideas! But in the meantime, here’s some inspiration.

Girls Love Their Polka Dots

Posted on September 26, 2014 by karissaestrada

This outfit may be perfect for fall but I’m a dummy and wore it on a day that felt like summer. Denver won’t make up its mind. It’s 90 degrees one day and 50 degrees the next. This outfit is slightly out of my comfort zone. I say “slightly” because I would honestly wear just about anything but I’m just someone who loves her bold and boxy outfits way more than the flow-ey, relaxed silhouettes. (Actually, it depends on the day. I have fashion bipolar disorder.) I like my straight edges and this outfit is definitely “hippy-er” than what I’m used to. With that said, I’m always incorporating femininity into my looks. I’m a girly girl and we all know that. This girly skirt has been in my closet for I don’t even know how long. I don’t reach for it often but when I do, it never disappoints. Girls love their polka dots. Why? Because polka dots are like sunshine. That’s why.

Xoxo,

Typical Fall Outfit

Posted on September 21, 2014 by karissaestrada

From the dark lip, the boots, and the purse to match it’s officially a typical fall outfit. Sorry. I can’t help myself sometimes. I think this look is great for almost every type of girl. A country girl like Jessie James would rock this and even someone like Kylie Jenner could pull this off as well. It has a little bit of everything but still so simple at the same time. To be honest, at first I wasn’t happy with this look but then I realized I didn’t have any lipstick on. LIPSTICK CHANGES EVERYTHING. Am I right ladies, or am I right? If you still haven’t taken a dip in the lipstick pool, I suggest you do that…yesterday. Lipstick pulls a basic outfit together and completes the entire look oh so effortlessly. Not to mention the confidence it gives. Give a girl some lipstick and she will conquer the world.

Muah.

Bonjour.

Posted on September 16, 2014 by karissaestrada

I hopped on the mustard yellow train a long time ago and I don’t plan on getting off. The mustard color section in my closet continues to grow and grow. I will always fall head over heels for this beautiful color when Autumn comes around. Can we talk about this beret hat though? IN LOVE! I’ve been eyeing it at Anthropologie forever. I don’t own anything like it and I don’t know why. I’m so in love with the way it makes me feel. I like to believe I’m in France when I wear it. It’s a bummer I don’t speak french…or any foreign language for that matter. I’ve also been loving the drop waist/peplum skirt trend. It’s unique and I adore it. I hope this post inspires you to get a beret hat or even a rhinestone top because this outfit made me feel awesome and I want every one to feel this way when they get ready in the morning and have that feeling last throughout their day. We’re all beautiful the way we are but fashion is the best way to express ourselves without having to say a single word. What does your outfit tell the world? My outfit says, “I’m happy! Bonjour!”
