OOTD: Turtlenecks and Faux Denim

As I continue to embark on this fashion blogging journey, I'm really enjoying getting to know more and more about fabrics. Today, for instance, I had the privilege (yes, it's that serious) of donning these faux denim "slacks" from Target's Merona. They were amazing in the area of comfort. Yes, they LOOK like they're a jeans material, but when I slid them on I was met with a choir of angels as the SUPER soft material wrapped my thighs in a warmth only these material could deliver. To the touch, its almost as soft as cashmere. It pretty wrinkle resistant to (I may have just gotten luck on that front.)

So what is this magic fabric, you ask? It's called Lyocell, Because it is made from a plant material, it is cellulosic and possesses many properties of other cellulose fibers, such as cotton, linen, ramie, and rayon - another manufactured but non-synthetic fiber. In many ways, lyocell is more similar to cotton than it is to rayon.Lyocell is similar to that of Modal, another "wonder fabric" that has all the benefits of natural fibers, leaving you with an incredibly soft texture, similar to that of silk.


These slacks were definitely a challenge to style. Do I dress it up? Do it play it down? Don't worry, you'll definitely see more of these as I try it out. They're too warm and comfy not to.

Casual Friday: Funky Freshed Dressed to Impress

Transparency moment: Sometimes I jack my boyfriend's style habits. We've been together about 4 years and sometimes we dress drastically alike. Its amazing how much women's and men's fashions have crossed over in the past decades. Especially for me, on a casual Friday, when all I want to do is throw on a baseball cap and some sneakers.

I threw a feminine flair on one of my love's favorite outfits to wear; a hat and his favorite Adidas inspired outfit. That will include a tracksuit of some sort and his favorite pair of Adidas classics for the perfect ensemble of tri-lined wear this side of the pond. Those Brits and their "Addis".

Sneakers: Here
It was hard to stay away, but I finally allowed the Adidas bug to bite me and purchased a pair of their classic Adidas Superstars collection. The simple black and white took my back to my Missy Elliott
days, the iconic female rapstress with style to boot. And for those who know me well, you know I cannot resist a pop of gold in my outfits, and these sneakers were definitely after my heart.

I stayed true to my fashionista bones with some girly elements, one being this chic leather cap I got from Charlotte Russe. Paired with my sheer cardigan fro Haute Life Plus, I'm ready to slay the day away....in a pretty funky way *drops mic*

Layered Skirts & Denim Shirts

*inhales deeply* Do you smell that? It's the wonderful aroma of crisp, windy air, wet leaves, and everything Pumpkin Spice. 'Tis the season of Hocus Pocus, hoodies, sweaters, and long skirts.

I'm in heaven.

Today's outfit is a seamless shift from the thin maxi skirt and dress, right into the flowy fabrics for fall that don't sacrifice style for the needed warmth. I typically save this layered skirt for the fall not only for its deep burgundy color, but also for its easy breezy nature. Its a perfect companion for the wind!

I paired the outfit with some other fall friendly items, my faux denim button up and these comfy booties from Maurices. The only thing I was missing was a latte!
