Giving that Tommy Hilfiger Vibe

Top and Jeans: TJ Maxx, Booties: Franco Sarto, Earrings: handmade,  Choker: SheIn, Sunglasses: Target

On last Sunday I was filming a recruitment video with my sisters in the heart of downtown Greenville. The weather was a little chilly, and the sun was setting, a recipe for a photoshoot.

The theme of this part of the video was trendy and edgy, so I was on the last-minute hunt for the perfect outfit. I centered this look around these super cool, PVC leather-inspired Franco Sarto booties I found at TJ Maxx for $12. Most things edgy are usually black or metallic, but in a dark maroon color makes these booties unique.

I found this fun ruffle sleeved sweaters for $10, which I believe this is a ULTIMATE STEAL. Sweaters like these are great for transitioning for spring because ruffles on sleeves are really big this year. I also like the Tommy Hilfiger vibe in the sweater because of the red, white, and blue stripe embroidery. This is perfect for darty season in college as it keeps you warm, but really fun. I also paired this sweater with the black ripped skinny jeans to toughen up the girliness of the sleeves

For the accessories, I went with a simple star choker (surprise surprise) and my homemade earrings in red to kinda compliment the tip (Americana much?). The look sums up in my new favorite sunglasses for the spring from Target. My favorite thing about these is that it has a yellow tint, when worn whatever you see looks like summer. I think that's cool!

I'll keep you updated on the recruitment video, but until then see you on next post!

Getting in the Phi Mu Spirit

T-shirt: Fresh Prints, Skirt: Forever 21, Jean Jacket: TJ Maxx, Shoes: Charlotte Russe, Choker: SheIn

Today was my sorority's sisterhood retreat and recruitment video filming, and I wanted to know what the heck am I going to wear with a t-shirt?

After receiving a few tips online, I created this military aesthetic with a t-shirt that incorporated with the spring 2018 trends.

This Phi Mu t-shirt was inspired by one of our themed social where it was an army theme. I complimented the stars in the t-shirt with a star choker.

The yellow corduroy skirt adds that "sweet spot" in this hardcore, edgy look with the pastel color. God knows I am so excited for pastels to be here and I am starting to stock up.

I like that hardcore metal in this look, and this is where my favorite pair of sneakers come to play. They are casual, but the metallic rose gold makes the outfit more fun.

The finishing "home" touch includes the jean jacket I own that seems too tight on me. With that being said, I tied it around the waist to tone it down, making it look laid-back.

The funniest thing of that day is when we had the paper plate sister superlatives I had:

Laughing my pants off, that is obvious.

For real though, thank you Phi Mu for a wonderful sisterhood.

Leopard Silk Sensation

Co-ord set (top and shorts): Missguided, Jacket: TJ Maxx, Heels: Versona, Necklaces: SheIn(top) and Kendra Scott(bottom)

When I think of a Valentine’s Day outfit, I think of sophisticated, sexy, and luxurious.

This satin co-ord set from Missguided was on my mind for what to wear tonight as it gives an intimate appeal. However, the choker that came with the set, which is wide and same color as the set, was a little too much. 

Therefore, this is where the two small necklaces came to play. I layered this cute, iconic Kendra Scott necklace with the star choker necklace from SheIn. This gives me a vibe of being spoiled (because why not) with jewelry that gives meaning. 

Then I paired the look with black accessories, like my favorite black heels from Versona and my homemade pom pom earrings. I feel that black has that “EDGE” and I wanted my outfit to have that “EDGE.”

Last but not least, I don’t care about the warm weather, but I still wore my leopard print fur jacket from TJ Maxx. Valentine’s day also has that wild side, but in a way that makes this look luxurious without too much effort.

Then for beauty I look to my new favorite fragrance, Very Sexy by Victoria’s Secret. I wanted a perfume that has that sultry smell that lasts all night. This perfume has a vanilla orchid base, so this will capture the boys (or your mans), as well was your favorite girls.

Then I am extremely obsessed with the Sephora Collection #Lipstories lipsticks. The color I wore was the 31 Golden Gate, and I have gotten impressed with the color. And the best thing about wearing it: I will last you all night (you should see me struggling to wipe it off) and it is very moisturizing. Next time, I want to try to get 33 Wanderlust, which is a deep blackberry shade. Hmm, that is also a sultry, v-day appropriate shade. 

This completes the V-Day cocktail look which is feminine, sexy, and a little edgy. 

What is your valentine’s day look?
