brown sugar.: Style in the City

I decided to follow a few fashion blogs for a couple of different reasons:

    a. I love Fashion...

    b. I love Fashion but can never seem to put together outfits other than the standard pants, top, and shoes that are all matchy-matchy.

    c. I love Fashion but keep buying stupid jersey T-shirts like I’m a College Frat Guy.

    d. I love Fashion and need a kick in the pants (inspiration) to get over this current trend.

I currently follow Kendi Everyday, J’s Everyday Fashion, and Mix and Match Fashion each for different reasons. Not to mention all of the style inspiration I get from Pinterest.

I took a Fashion Tip from Kendi and created a list in the Notepad app on my phone of clothing items that I need to match with items I currently own in my closet. It never fails…I’ll have a little extra cash and want to buy a shirt or accessory and can not remember for the life of me what it was I wanted/needed. By creating a list you are always able to overcome your blonde moment.

Here is what I am currently wishing for:

Add to List:
-Missoni Flats (a seperate post for another day)
-Cobalt Blue Pencil Skirt
-Tom’s Ballet Flats (coming Spring 2012)

Already crossed of the list:
-Striped 3/4 or long sleeve shirt [found at Target]
-Leopard flats (not fake printed suede, hair like…do you follow?) [found at Target]
-Steve Madden Intyce boots in Cognac (these have been on my list for about…3 years now) [bought at Steve Madden store]

I am currently loving these looks and wish I could use this month’s mortgage payment to invest in some of these items. Will any of you take Chris, Max, and me in when all we have is my closet worth of clothes…

I have similar boots and love denim shirts. I need a long enough one

to cover my tushi if I decide to wear is with leggings. Maybe I'll just

wear one of Chris' works shirts instead of buying a new one. Uhh, yea right.

Again, I have hav similar boots and now own a similar shirt. I love

the mix of patterns and the pop of color in the bag. Everyone needs

a little color in their life during winter.

Love, Love, Love the skirt. Not sure how it would actually look on

me or where to find such a thing but I'd like to try to this look. Only problem

is, my striped shirt isn's as baggy as this one so I'm not sure how it'd all play out.

Ok, so my new favorite color for fall is mustard.

Not the French's brand but more of the honey dijon variety.

I NEED a cobalt blue pencil skirt. The one pictured in thrifted but

I have seen a similar one from Express that I would like to own. I love the mix of

colors and would like to try the new color blocking that all the celebs are doing.

Kendi Everyday

Pink, Black, and Chevron. Love everything about it.

Chevron is my new favorite color.

**BTW can anyone explain to my mom why it is called Chevron instead of Zig-Zag? She is very dumbfounded by this. After she brought this issue of hers to my attention I considered it for awhile and decided that Chevron sounds classy and Zig-Zag sounds like you have an issue.
