My Powersuit

What I love about fashion is that anything goes. Sure if it’s a higher end brand, you might have a better chance of it looking amazing, but it’s all up to you. If you love fashion, you probably have all the essentials in your closet already and that’s perfect! Make the most of your closet as fashion clearly repeats itself, so dig through and pair the old with the new — it’ll be trendier than ever and that’s what I love about fashion. 

Top: I bought this light grey plaid blazer from Banana Republic. I actually got it a couple years back, but I can vouch that Banana Republic jackets and blazers are timeless. I’ve been easily able to pair this beautiful blazer to a look at least once a year. I decided to wear it with my vanilla crew neck crop top from Zara to keep it simple. I wanted to focus on the powersuit aspect, which means matching my blazer with my bottoms.

Bottoms: I love Express jeans and got these high waisted Mom jeans on sale. They’re super comfortable and honestly the perfect jeans to wear with crop tops. Mom jeans do make your hips look wider and sometimes I’m not feeling the curvy look, so that’s why I paired it with my matching blazer and turned it into a power suit. Fashion assembly at its finest!

Purse: You’ll be seeing one of my favorite investments this season quite often, it’s the Chanel cavier leather single flap. Perfect to complete your chic look and so worth the investment. I personally believe every girl should own a Chanel purse when she gets the opportunity to!

Shoes: I love my BCBG Maxazria black suede booties. They’re pointy at the top, which makes them perfect for elegant fall and winter looks. Stay tuned for more looks with these gems.

Jewelry:  I’m wearing a statement necklace that I purchased from Urban Outfitters a couple years ago. Statement necklaces are perfect to wear with blazers and the perfect way to add a pop of color.
