TGIF!

I have to admit, I use the term TGIT way more than TGIF but ehh technicalities. 

Speaking of, did you guys see Grey's/Scandal/HTGAWM last night?! If you didn't, don't follow me on Twitter because I live tweet every week.

Did you like that? A little reverse psychology to follow me on other social media platforms?

Anyways! 

On this day, some friends and I went to the Ithaca Commons for some dinner. It was a fairly warm day for fall so this outfit was perfect for the weather. In Central New York, we really do not get many nice fall days, we pretty much skip right to winter, so I try to take advantage of the few days we get!

I love contrasting unexpected pieces in an outfit so I paired a flannel with my new favorite leather jacket. I added a black floppy hat for some flair and warm socks to keep a cozy vibe. Balance is key to pulling off a contrasting outfit. The leather jacket and hat dress up the look while the socks and flannel keep it casual.

Who doesn't love a good burrito? There's a great Mexican restaurant on the Commons called Viva and they have huge burritos and amazing guac. I actually dislike avocado and guacamole but their's had different spices and was even delicious to a harsh guac critic. Be sure to check it out and let me know in the comments below what your favorite Mexican dishes are!

Have a lovely weekend, darlings!

Happy Monday, y'all!

I'm back with a quick post showing you guys four ways I styled these American Eagle jeans.

When I was on the hunt for the perfect pair of ripped boyfriend jeans, one of the first places I looked was American Eagle. The quality of their jeans is always great and I can actually find a pair that fits me. For a 5'2" girl with big dancer thighs and a booty, finding a pair of jeans that fit me well is basically a Christmas miracle and American Eagle is pretty much Santa Claus. 

First up is a bit of casual with an edge. I absolutely love the combination of heels and boyfriend jeans. I dressed the look down by adding my Beyonce sweatshirt and wore my hair in a top knot to keep a casual vibe. 

For this next look, I dressed these jeans up a bit. I tucked in a loose button down from H&M and added another pair of Just Fab heels. One of my favorite things to do is pair a casual piece with a dressier piece to add contrast to the outfit. 

This look is basically casual on the bottom, dressy on the top. I added a statement necklace from Rocksbox to a graphic tee and threw on a cardigan for warmth. For comfort, I wore my favorite white converses. 

Finally, this look was the first outfit that came into my mind as soon as I bought these jeans. I love love love wearing the color blush in the cooler seasons and this cropped sweater from Tobi is perfection. I especially love blush with nude so I wore these nude heels from Sole Society. To add just a little bit of pattern, I added a cheetah print belt. 

Two things:

1. I obviously love looking down in my photos. (Sorry not sorry.)

2. If you haven't noticed in three out of the four looks, I added dark lipstick. Dark lips are definitely in my top 3 favorite things about fall. If you'd like to see a post with my favorite fall lip colors, let me know in the comments below! Hope everyone has a great week!
