Looks of The Day (Thursday)

Sunny Thursday! I can almost smell the spring air (although it’s 29 degrees in NYC). To celebrate, today’s look is all about color burst and patterns! I won’t write a lot about these looks as they speak for themselves. These ladies are definitely bold. I hope you are inspired to get creative.  Thoughts? Big Hugs!

 

 

Looks of The Day (Wednesday)

Happy Wednesday! Today’s look is about using simple pieces and re-working them into different ensembles. Pay attention to their accessories. A small addition to a simple skirt like a flattering belt or chunky necklace can change the feel of an entire outfit. Let’s take a look.

Neutral Skirt/Shorts

 

On the left, we see the neutral skirt paired with a floral peasant shirt and skinny brown leather tie belt. She adds flavor to her style by mixing in black knee-high stockings and a cute slouchy handbag. To the right we have another simple neutral. This time shorts paired with a crisp white button shirt. What makes this look stand out is the red chunky bubbles layered necklace and ribbon belt. Her camel colored booties complete this simple & chic style. Work it ladies!

Floral Skirt

 

Same concept different look. On the right we have this grungy rockish feel worked into a floral skirt. What makes this piece work is the touch of gray (sweater and gloves). It adds a hint of softness to the hard leather jacket and blends nicely with the skirt. The camel colored handbag make this outfit pop. To the left we have this nice color combo of a camel sweater with a camel belt and camel shoes. This works well because it makes the soft spots of camel on her floral skirt burst out instead of blending in. The vintage style owl necklace completes her well put together ensemble.

Xxx's,

Looks of The Day (Tuesday)

Hello World ! Its a cold rainy Tuesday here in NYC. One of my favorite items to spice up a weary drab day is a nice comfortable yet simple (sexy) sweater. Let’s check out these 3 different sweater-style approaches.

Punk Rock Chic

She makes this look work by combining (slightly slouchy) fur boots and a striped t-shirt underneath her oatmeal sweater. The leather pants give the outfit an edgy yet effortless rhythm.

Flirty Glamour

This look is simple, flirty and comfortable! She has on an uncomplicated floral dress, a long sweater and brown belt. Her voluptuous locks complete her glamorous look!

Adorable Vamp

She adds chic sex appeal to this slouchy gray sweater by mixing an animal print scarf while wearing a white dress underneath. Her dark tights, brown heels and matching handbag add oomph to this adorable ensemble. :: I heart this::

Kisses,
Ruthy 

Looks of The Day (Monday)

Today’s look is all about simplicity and accent colors. One accent color can change the entire look of your outfit, effortlessly.

Winter Blues

This is look is simple yet sophisticated. Her white pea coat brings out this unexpected softness to her navy blue dress. Fur booties complete this stylish look.

Red, White & Blue

Another simple yet stylish ensemble, she makes this uncomplicated navy blue stand out by adding small hints of red (scarf, belt and handbag). Cute & Effortless.
