Standout Stripes and Why I Love Them!

PSA: I smile in real life, but not usually for blog pictures, so here’s a candid… TOP: NEW LOOK, SIMILAR | DENIM: AG | SHOES: IVANKA TRUMP | BAG: CHANEL, SIMILAR | SUNGLASSES: SHOP DITTO (use my coupon code SIMPLYBYSIMONE for your first rented pair free!) Stripes always stand out, (hence the name of today’s post, standout stripes !) they’re always the first thing I notice within an outfit I like. Whether they’re neutral, vibrant, thin, thick, vertical or horizontal, we can all add more stripes to our lives. They’re an easy way to make a somewhat boring or average outfit…

Casual with Stripes

Hi All! I’m loving how popular stripes are this year. I love black and white stripes, but I was so happy when I found this black and gray striped shirt. The colors are so much easier on the eye. Sometimes the contrast between black and white stripes is too much for me. To keep it casual, I went with a low heel, denim and a leather/army green coat. Take a look. Jacket: Aqua, similar, similar | Shirt: Forever 21 | Denim: JBRAND, similar | Shoes: Vince Camuto | Bag: Chanel Stripes are the perfect neutral. You can dress them up or…

Fashion Friday: Oxfords

Fashion Friday: Blazer Obsessed

Hello and Happy Friday! I literally cannot stop buying blazers, I just can’t! I’m not going to be happy until I have one in each shade of every color. Blazers always complete the look for me, and they do it so much better than cardigans most of the time. My next look is something I would wear out to lunch or just casual on the weekend. Take a look.. Blazer: ASOS | Top: Gap | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Bag: Chanel It was hard for me to pair the off white blazer with a white tank, but it just worked…

Fashion Friday: The Boyfriend Jean

It’s Friday the most loved day of the week, DUH. And guess who has the weekend off? ME! Sorry, I worked in retail a long time, it’s hard getting used to having weekends off. It used to be such a luxury. Anyway, on to what you probably thought I’d be talking about, boyfriend jeans. So boyfriend jeans NEVER look cute on me. I have no idea why. I mean what wouldn’t look cute on me. Kidding! HA. So these aren’t jeans you can go out and buy, (sorry) I had to cut them myself. (Annoying) We’ll lets take a look..…
