Minimalistic

IMG_1773IMG_1772 IMG_1774 IMG_1787 IMG_1791 IMG_1795 IMG_1800 IMG_1808There’s something lovely about wearing a minimal, sleek, but still sexy outfit. I had this confidence that I normally wouldn’t have without the help of an outfit like this one. Look at me, I think a boxy blazer is sexy. Yes, yes I do. I’m not someone who feels comfortable showing a lot of skin AND THAT’S OKAY. Ladies, take this advice. More clothing is better. Giving it all up right away isn’t cute. Low key sexy is the best kind of sexy. If all you wear is a rag, that’s how guys are going to treat you. My momma told me that to get respect from people… you must first have respect for yourself. Those are the words I live by. Basically what I’m saying is that you’re worth it. Dress like it.

Heels, in every situation, take a simple outfit to the next level. Little black strappy heels takes the outfit to a whole new level of confidence. Every girl needs a pair. And throw on some dark lips and OH MY GOSH, you’re it girl. YOU.ARE.IT. But when those heels get annoying to wear, don’t be afraid to wear your trusty converse like I did. Converse have my back day in and day out. I will always bring them along for the ride.

Today’s Outfit & Being Kylie Jenner for a Day

I hope everyone had an awesome and safe Halloween weekend. I was Kylie Jenner for a day and it wasn’t as fabulous as I hoped it would be. I only wish I was actually Kylie Jenner for a day. That girl has no worries. My sad bank account would have loved to be Kylie Jenner’s bank account as well. I went home, removed my pounds of makeup, and went back to my boring normal life as a girl with two jobs and a bucket list that has more empty boxes than it does with checks through them. I’m not complaining, I enjoy being me but it was definitely a reality check. Dressing up as a 16 year old millionaire puts things in perspective for you. It was kind of depressing. “What am I doing with my life” is a question that I ask myself all too much along with, “When will my dreams come true?” “When will I be happy again?” At the end of the day I’m glad that I am me and no one else. I just wish I had more in my bank account but don’t we all. I’m not gonna lie, I had a fun time playing dress up and wearing makeup and clothes that I normally wouldn’t wear but my question to all of you is…If you could choose who you wanted to be in this life…would you pick you?

If your answer is no than you should do something about that. I think instead of sitting around feeling sorry for yourself (some days that’s me) you should be creating that kind of  life for yourself. I know I say this a lot but give yourself a little more credit. Chase those dreams even if they seem galaxies away. I would MUCH rather work my booty off and build character than have it all handed to me. It’s the journey, not the destination, that makes us who we are.

I need a break.

IMG_1935 IMG_1936 IMG_1946 IMG_1948 IMG_1951Believe it or not, I don’t like to dress up every-single-day. I’m not even sure if that’s healthy. You need to give yourself a little time out every once in awhile. Put on your favorite pair of ripped up skinny jeans and call it a day my friend. I love days like these a lot because I’m never worried about putting on a show with my outfit. I kind of throw on whatever sounds the comfiest. I still have to be somewhat presentable because I’m usually heading to work or to run errands. I ONLY leave the house looking like a complete slob when it’s past midnight and I’m just headed to the grocery store to grab some chocolate. In and out of Walmart in .30 seconds. That’s the only scenario when it’s right to wear sweats that could fit your boyfriend and a t-shirt that has your dinner from earlier on it. Sadly, that’s some peoples daily wardrobe. Let’s take a moment of silence for those people shall we. Hopefully they find my blog and realize how EASY it is to be comfy but look presentable at the same time. I know most people would choose flats but I’ve honestly trained my feet to wear heels so much that wearing flats might be a struggle. I love my heels. LOVE THEM. A little tip if you’re feeling like your outfit is missing something, always make sure that you give all of your necklaces a little fashion show in the mirror before you make your final outfit decision. Find one that makes you feel beautiful and then I think you’ve found a winner. This outfit would be nothing without this bright orange necklace. (It matches the gorgeous trees behind me.) Ahh…Fall. Why you gotta be so beautiful?

Be Bold, Bejeweled

IMG_1709 IMG_1719 IMG_1726 IMG_1734Being 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,

Karissa

Movie Date Night Outfits

IMG_2367 IMG_2372 IMG_2377 IMG_2381 IMG_2407IMG_2388IMG_2395Nothing 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.
