The Skirt Trick

Oddly enough, I’m sitting at my laptop, with a pile full of Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Speculoos Cookie Butter Cups as I blog my life away at 1:04 A.M. Obviously, what else would one be doing at such a time? Cyber family – I have come to a realization that I failed to post anything in almost a week, which is highly unlike me. Although I would like to place the blame on my presence at home, visiting family. Yes, that sounds like a good excuse. I’ve also taken on the role of posting a new video every day of December on my video channel, which seemingly takes up more time than expected when I initially had this grand idea in my head. Nonetheless, I like to stick to my word so I shall push forward.

As I sit in the 40 degree weather, enjoying the 10 degree increase since the past week, I recall this look that I shot back in Miami prior to traveling up here. If you grew up in the 90’s, this dandy little wonder called a skort, was all the rage. What could possibly be better than a skirt that ultimately remains shorts? This skirt trick has a sexy edge without looking ridiculously crazy.

Red Midi Skirt

Midi skirts seem most appropriate during the Fall/Winter season, although I’m fairly keen to mini skirts or flouncy A-line skirts. However, I feel so feminine and radiant in this bright red midi skirt from Express. I’m a firm believer in dressing for your body type, and for some reason, midi skirts have never really been too flattering on my shorter-framed body until I discovered ways to alter it for a more appealing look (without looking like an oompa loompa). Whenever I’m wearing a skirt or dress that hits beneath the knees, I offset it with a light colored crop top to elongate the torso and high heels of at least 4 inches or taller. A neutral heel, such as nude or metallic, helps lengthen the appearance of legs as well. There you have it – my tricks for hiding my short height.

Skin-Baring Monochrome

As far as my closet is concerned, Summer days of fully clothed abdominal areas and legs are few and far between. Despite a sartorial catastrophe of reliving the 90’s trend, I’ve managed to discover a chic approach to rocking a crop top without looking like Kelly Kapowski in all of her Saved By The Bell glory. We’ve shifted to a monochromatic look, guys. Let’s do this.

In efforts to accredit my fellow small-chested women, crop tops seemingly work quite well with the boob-unfortunate. There’s nothing obstructing the downward path while throwing it on over head, and might possibly go in the books as the quickest fashion piece to slap on. To counteract my lacking in the chest area, I’ve combatted it with a silky high-slit maxi skirt that consequently feels like I’m barely wearing any clothes. This may require an occasional, am I still wearing bottoms, glare from time to time, but it just might be the most comfortable piece of clothing that I own. While many of us don’t have the satisfaction of sporting DD’s, abdominal areas and legs are the next best points to accentuate.

Combining this look with an early morning P90X workout and abdominal circuit, the viewer can’t possibly notice the chest area. Winning.

PS. If you didn’t see my last post, I’m giving away a trip to Hawaii and more with Tommy Bahama. It’s in your best interest to enter here.

White Blouse and Maxi

Maxi skirts are so versatile and wearable for any season or body shape, believe it or not. As a not-so-heightened woman (roughly 5’5″), I rarely thought I could pull off wearing a maxi skirt because the length would complicate trying to actually walk without tripping over myself. However, a maxi skirt can be dressed up with a lightweight white blouse and nude pumps for a classic and chic Summer look that is also unbelievably comfortable.

This blouse by BCBGMAXAZRIA is one of my favorite pieces due to its layering in the front, but the back actually elongates to the calves when it is pulled out. However, I tucked it in underneath my skirt for a more polished outfit.

Rave Prints and Sporty Neutrals.

Over the weekend, I pretty much live in these chic Express jogger pants because they can be dressed up or down. The sporty trend has been incorporated into many of my weekend outfits, as it allows me to be comfortable yet presentable at the same time. The term “comfortable” does not have to translate to “today I’m going to look reckless.” Therefore, pairing a printed top (like this black and white number from LE TOTE) with some joggers can really heighten a look.

Of course, adding some strappy heels is a must. It could always be dressed down with a pair of sneakers but then I look like an oompa loompa so I tend to grab heels for a chic look. Don’t get me wrong – I wear flats and sneakers too.

Gray Maxi’s and Stripes.

Spring season means one of two things: Miami will begin to become almost unbearably hot and sweaty or maxi skirts are a must have. Pairing a neutral toned maxi skirt with a vibrant top gives an effortless look while maintaining comfort (and allowing your legs to breathe). Another option which is great for Spring is to rock an edgy crop top with some strappy heels.

These cobalt statement earrings are a beautiful accessory to glam up a casual look, even though I rarely seem to wear earrings. However, I’ve been loving this pair from LE TOTE, for adding some glitz to a neutral outfit.

Sporty in Spring

Let’s face it – Spring has sprung and it’s about that time where we can tuck those chunky sweaters away. Say goodbye layers and hello florals, flouncy skirts and short shorts! One of my favorite new finds in South Florida is Monc Boutique, where this lovely floral skirt is from. What I love so much about this floral skirt is its feminine shape paired with the on-trend sporty waistband. The result of wearing sporty pieces with high heels is just my kind of wearable athleticwear.

Monc Boutique is located in the heart of South Miami with a new location coming to Kendall and (crossing fingers) hopefully South Beach as well. Owned by two Lebanese sisters, the boutique carries an array of affordable items such as rompers, jackets, crop tops, skirts, silk shorts, accessories, and swimwear. However, Monc Boutique is also available online.

Maxi dresses are not only comfortable, but conveniently ideal for the Spring/Summer seasons and there are endless ways of styling them. Rather than keeping it minimal, I wanted to glam this grey Tiger Maxi Dress by Blush Boutique with leather and various textures. Ultra Music Festival was also this past weekend in Miami, so this look was perfect for all the rage. If you aren’t familiar with the festival (or if you’ve been living under a rock), Ultra is without a doubt the biggest and most dynamic electronic music party/festival in the world.

Combining a graphic printed maxi with neutral colors and leather gives an edgy effect that I love to incorporate in feminine pieces. Layering pieces is also great for all-day events where it may get a little cooler at night but still warm during the day.

New York Fashion Week – Post DKNY

The chaos from New York Fashion Week has officially ended. Although the aura of the city is missed, there’s nothing like waking up to warm weather once again. After the DKNY show I decided to take a stroll around the city (which ultimately turned into a 6 mile walk) and stumbled upon one of my favorite spots, Central Park.

Staying warm in New York is quite the mission, but it’s attainable to still look stylish in cold weather. In other words, there is no excuse for rocking sweatpants and a baggy sweatshirt for the sake of being cold. One of my staple pieces for the winter is this chunky sweater be ELAN, which I’ve been layering multiple ways. An alternative way to achieve a similar look is to pair an edgy sweatshirt (like this one) with a plaid button-up (like this one) and a flared skirt like this one by French Connection.

A Daytime Date

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovelies! It’s pretty apparent that a fabulous pair of shoes completes almost any outfit, so today’s post features my new partner in crime (ankle strapped heels of course). I’ve been loving this style of shoe because it’s classic yet chic enough to pair with anything. Although I opted for a feminine look, they can also be dressed down with leather sweatpants or shorts.

After searching for the perfect pair of black ankle strapped heels, I discovered these beauties from Traffic Shoe. The appearance doesn’t even do them justice because they are surprisingly miraculously comfortable (especially for a two-year-old chasing mommy).

What I’m rocking:
