Outfits Not Just Clothes

 Wore this outfit for Easter Sunday and I'm not bragging when I say that I flipping nailed it! We've got color, we've got functionality, we're on theme, we stand out and this is most definitely an outfit, not just clothes!  coat- Target , thrifted from Thriftique  (similar here , here , and here from Poshmark ) shirt-- Ashir Aley via Amazon (available on Ebay ), pants--Boden(similar here ), earrings- Amazon , mask- Maskc , rings- Mejuri , bag-Coach(similar retail here , similar via Poshmark here and here ) loafers- G.H.Bass , lipstick-- M.A.C . I'm loving the pink in this look. Plus the lime green liner of the coat that picks up on the kerchiefs on the jackalopes in the print. This pattern speaks to the an Easter theme while also being a bit subversive with a mythical creature print that's similar to the standard bunny, but flips it on its head, or rather it's antlers. 🐰🐇🦌.  All of these details really pop, while also being easy to wear with the chur...

Spring and the Easter season always bring bright colors, prints, and vibrant whites. For this casual, yet sophisticated look I played with mixing suiting and casual wear, deployed a seasonally appropriate novelty print, and brought it home with a pop-of-color bag.   jacket / trousers - J.Crew , shirt--Amazon(similar here ) necklace / ring -Mejuri, bag-Coach(similar here ), sneakers-H&M(more options here ) Yes, in the closeup shots you can see this shirt is sporting jackalopes!

Anyway, jackalopes asside, the mix of suiting trousers and button-up with sneakers and a denim jacket create an ideal workwear-weekend-we...

blazer-J.Crew(similar here ), shirt- Ashir Aley via Amazon , leggings- Old Navy , boots-G.H. Bass(similarish here )  I think I can officially say that my hair is in some serious "transition"... I'm growing it out for various reasons and I remember why I got it cut short in the first place, I have no clue how to style non-short hair!!! So ignore my head and let's focus on this OOTD and Jackalopes!!!! 🐇🦌 The jackalope is an underrated mythical creature, everyone is all about unicorns and the phoenix. What I enjoy about its rendition in this novelty print is the inclusion of a little bowed neckerchief making this "fearsome" creature rather cute!
