What The Fuzz?

Happy Thursday friends!

My current bullet proof outfitting go-to has been pairing a mini skirt with some textured or printed leggings. It’s school girl inspired. It’s a simple way to stay warm and mix and match with all of my favorite skirts at the same time. 2015 has been the year of skirts for me. I’m stocked up to the max with nearly every single color imagined and I don’t have to feel guilty about it because skirts are absolutely an all year around kind of thing. I love this out in particular because it’s festive without being too obvious. This fuzzy top has quickly become one of my holiday favorite tees. It really elevates anything you pair with it and it’s super feminine which you all know I love femme. I am femme. My existence is all things femme.

Enough about the outfit. Let’s talk life. I’m currently bundled up on the couch, watching a little Big Bang Theory and fascinating over our very first Christmas tree together. I feel so happy and thankful this holiday season but there’s just one thing that’s been on my mind more than usual: A baby. I was born to be a mother. I’ve had the urge to start a family since I was young, well young-ER. I feel like it’s my destiny and I can’t be whole without it. I love celebrating the seasons with Wyatt but I really can’t another second until our family of two becomes a family of three. I’m conflicted because I do want to be married before we start a family but the wedding of my dreams is taking longer than I thought to plan. We’re tempted to elope and start our family but we really can’t decided. It’s been bumming me out. All of my childhood friends have recently become mothers and even though I’m so very happy for them, I’m still so sad. I want to be a mommy too.

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,

Holiday Heels

Posted on November 16, 2015 by karissaestrada

The bronze heaven gates have opened and these little angels fell from above and landed on my feet. My feet couldn’t be happier and they couldn’t not be more prepped and ready for Holiday. They will make any outfit sparkle and shine. An all black outfit could use a little bronze madness and these bad boys would make the cut.

When I first pulled these heels out the UPS box, Wyatt was the first one to be like “WOW! Those are so cool.” If a guy like him thinks these shoes are amazing then that speaks volume. I can always count on Wyatt to be honest with me when it comes to what I wear but what I love about me is that I don’t let what he thinks dictate what I wear. What I love about him is that he’s always SO supportive on what I wear, how I do my hair, and whatever else. He’s the cutest and I got his approval on these shoes which is cool. Cool beans.

I mean, check out that subtle crackled detail. These heels are kind of perfect in every way but just one. They are slightly uncomfortable but what high heel isn’t? We have to make sacrifices sometimes and the best sacrifices are those that involve looking good… even if your feet are dying.

With love, Karissa

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.
