OOTD: Wool Coats and Asymmetrical Sweaters

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today's rainy winter weather called for some warm fabrics , easy for layering, sans the heavy duty functioning of winter clothing.

I got these great pieces from Boohoo, while they had loads of discount codes floating around, ensuring a deal for a steal. I can always count on Boohoo for all of my basics needs, as well as getting me together a couple seasons ahead.








This collarless wool coat was super warm, and made the perfect layering piece. The thin design allows me to put literally anything underneath. without feeling like my own personal suana. I opted  for this funneled turtleneck jumper, also from Boohoo. Yes, it wasn't winter breezy, but I didn't want to leave my neck out! I was in love with the asymmetrical vibe, which was perfect for short torso and long legs. The slightly longer back helped to add an air of sophistication to my on-the-go church outfit.

Transitioning into Fall: Stripes and Cape Vests

Since I started my blog in December, I've really gone through some growing experiences. I've grown in patience. I've grown in confidence. I've grown in style. But most importantly, I've grown outside of the lines. What I put together for today's fall fashion outfit is something I would have never done in a million years before, and I mean the loud stripes as well as all the colors! But in using this platform, I've stepped out of the box a number of times...and look forward to doing it again and again.

Today's mixed colors/fabrics/everything style started with this diagonal striped shirt I got from a friend. When she handed it to me, the pre-blogger Brieana was like "what am I going to do with this shirt?", while the blogger babe said aloud "I have the perfect outfit for this shirt". Even in that moment of fighting off my inhibitions to be "tame", "in-the-box", and "normal", the Brieana you've all come to know reared her head and told me to take the top. I'm so glad I did.

I paired it with this suede sleeveless vest from Wish.com, my new place for cheap finds and staple items. Yes, I know, they are definitely a hit or miss when it comes to quality,but I can tell you all about how to spot a good look item. Check out this blog post on my tips and tricks. I love this vest for its paneled theme (perfect for keeping out the wind) as well as the soft suede that managed not to be 10 inches thick.

I donned these low pumps from Charlotte Russe I got on clearance in a nice dusty orange color. Paired with my afro puff, it was a regular fall day for me! Hanging right outside the box!

Transitioning into Fall: Bye Summer '16-Casual Friday

Happy Friday everyone! As September rolls through, the days continue to become shorter and the leaves become darker. I tend to throw on items of clothing that match the season. In this case, I'm talking hues of dark green, oranges, reds, and brown. These colors give off a great sense of warmth of comfort during the transitional season of fall.

Today's outfit revolves around Ava & Viv, Target's trendy plus size collection for the full figured fashionista. The line features pieces between the $20-$50 mark. It's a long time coming for the super retail brand, as consumers began to complain about the lack of diversity in their clothing. Although this dress is summery, the hunter green reminds me of the fast coming fall weather. Their fall line is now in stores and on Target.com through October 2016. Good on ya Target!

Shoes: Lola Shoetique

OOTD: Cool Color Combos

Happy Sunday! I hope you're enjoying the days after Christmas and the time you've spent with cousins you haven't seen in years and eating foods you'll be giving up in a few weeks. 

      Today I want to talk about amazing combinations. Items that are Perfect for one another.Things that you can't mention without their counterpart. Peanut  butter and jelly. Fish and chips. Cell phone and a charger. Wearing glasses and being smart. I'm not so sure about that last one but you get the point. Combinations can add pizzazz or add those finishing touches needed to make a meal or outfit great. One of my favorite color combos is gray and green. An olive or hunter green to be exact. There's something serene and relaxed about the two colors together that still scream sleek and sheek at the same time.


      This long wool duster is from Forever 21+ a couple seasons back. And I promise it's not as itchy as it looks. I know dusters are in for the season,and while I love them,not all of them are as thick as I need them to be. I'm ALWAYS cold,so this sweater keeps me warm. The marled effect adds some extra color to the outfit. 

      This midi dress is also from Forever 21+. I got it in the summer and quickly learned it was more suited for the colder months. There's an additional lining inside of the dress that adds more warmth. During the hot and hazy summer, this was NOT BBQ attire. In the winter,the extra layer helped to create nice, clean lines and layers that kept me warm. The length was also a plus as it was kind of windy today.

      If you couldn't tell already, I love a chunky heeled bootie. These ones from Charlotte Russe gave me the right amount of balance. My mom looks at me in shock every time I step out in something higher than 6 inches. It's my way of keeping the day exciting. High heels,higher standards. The suede material may not be the best when the snow starts to fall,so I'm wearing them before that time comes. 


      Last but not least,let's talk about this  eye candy around my neck. This necklace is a unique and handmade creation from a local store owner here in the Poconos. She'll get her own post soon,but check out her Facebook page here. The intricate design (check out those leaves!) was just what I needed to add some excitement to the otherwise quiet ensemble.
