Holiday Party 2015

Posted on December 18, 2015 by karissaestrada

Holiday parties are the perfect excuse to go all out with all things tulle, glitter, sequins and bright red lipstick. This year I wanted to make a statement with this soft pink organza skirt and keep the rest on top simple and comfortable. I wore this to my work Holiday party and felt like a million bucks. I recommend every girl to own a organza skirt, no matter the color or length, you will feel amazing. And feeling good is all that matters right?

Also, I’m warning you guys that I did not plan on wearing this fur collar in the next 3-5 posts but I am. I cannot help it. It dresses up every single outfit. It has BY FAR been my favorite purchase this year. I’m sad to let this accessory go when the warm weather comes back around. Good thing I live in Colorado where it feels like winter 10 months out of the year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Evergreen

Posted on December 14, 2015 by karissaestrada

I’m forever an evergreen girl.

I always love the aroma of pine when I walk into a cozy home during Christmas time. It soothes my soul. This year we got a real tree for our very first tree together and it’s perfection. I decided to blend in with the pine by wearing my favorite dark green, blended wool dress by Sparrow while Christmas tree shopping. I purchased last years sleeveless teal version and couldn’t resist this years version. I’m not the biggest fan of wool but I’ll wear this dress forever and ever. I’ll also purchase anything with three-quarter sleeves. I was reading the reviews on this dress online and noticed a comment that this dress is amazing for curvier girls. I think what I love about the style of this dress more than anything is that it looks great on every kind of figure. It’s kind of amazing paired with my all time favorite fur collar and of, course, my UGGS.

Oh, UGGS. I call them my happy place because they’re just that…happy.

Hoodie

Posted on December 4, 2015 by karissaestrada

Mustard yellow in a hoodie form? SIGN ME UP 100 TIMES! I feel so “Colorado” in this little ensemble. I’m sure I’m far from the mark but sometimes it’s okay to want to fit in for a day right? When I think of how people here in Colorado dress, I think of this: Relaxed, Distressed Denim, and Hoodies. I love a good laid-back look, especially on my days off. All I want to wear are my favorite boyfriend jeans and something oversized. I do love how most people in this state can make looking comfortable so chic and interesting. My style has been challenged and continues to grow and evolve the more I move from state to state. Everywhere shows me something new. I can’t wait to see what my next home teaches me.

If you’re in the market for something cuddly, warm, and SUPER CUTE then I think you’re in need of this mustard hoodie. It’s the best of both worlds and just might be my favorite new piece in my closet.

Blush

Hello everyone!

It’s so nice to be sitting here, typing (talking) to you. I don’t prioritize enough time to blog and really connect with you all. I guess that’s what happens when you get a big girl job and start making big girl money huh? Hehe. There’s not enough hours in the day or days in the week to get all of the stuff that I want done AND have a healthy sleep schedule. It’s just not possible for me. I can’t even plan a wedding let alone blog. I hope you guys understand. In the meantime, you can always stay updated and connected with me on my Instagram (@karissamariie) and Snapchat(@karissamariiee).

Let’s stay focused and get back to the beautiful blush colored top in these photos. I don’t own much pink in my closet. I honestly cannot think of ONE true pink item, however, I do love a good peach toned pink. I could rock that all day everyday. I really love the contrast of it with my dark hair. I’ve been told it works really well with my skin tone! So, I’m quite happy about that. And we all know I’m a huge fan of butterfly sleeves. So bouncy. I love it.

I’m going to sign off for now. We’re headed out the door to watch a late night movie. My favorite.

With love,

Sweater Sweetness

Posted on November 3, 2015 by karissaestrada

Every year I go a little overboard with the sweater purchases. Every place that I’ve lived has had harsh winters so you can’t blame me for wanting to be a little prepared. I find so much comfort and peace in snuggling up with a good pullover, don’t you? I’ve owned every kind of sweater from fuzzy pink ones to ugly Christmas ones and sometimes it’s just nice to strip down the nonsense and wear a simple cream pullover. Not only is cream chic but it goes with absolutely everything. I can’t think of one tiny thing that this particular sweater doesn’t go with and that’s how you know that you made a good purchase.

Another recent clothing item in my closet that I just can’t stop gushing over is this fun, chevron printed sweater skirt. Teal and a minimal chevron print in one? Sign me up! This pull-on pencil skirt has been my go to piece and preferred silhouette as of lately. I really can’t stop styling different ways to wear them. Pencil skirts have just been my current fashion craving. Heck, I have more on their way in the mail.
