Breezy

Looking back, I should have gotten two pair of these leopard print slippers. I’m crazy about these bad boys.

I am such a sucker for palazzo pants. Thank God for the fact I’m aware of that…They always seem to catch my eye. I love the dress up dress down versatility of the style.

When going into a closet full of possibilities, I’m always a bit grateful for crazy weather days. My selection is immediately narrowed down giving my search a very clear sense of functionality. An overcast day in Houston can be tricky -the entire day may pass by with out a drop of rain- so I picked this palazzo pant, dolman top combination for a look that was just breezy enough to stay cool if it didn’t rain and just warm enough if it did.

Tomboy Tuesday

Tomboy Tuesday

Some days everything goes right, and when I’m fortunate enough to come across one of those, I don’t take it lightly. I’ve coined my favorite day of the week “Tomboy Tuesday” because it seems I always have something sporty/casual on. Tuesday’s look was inspired by my sudden urge to deep condition my hair. It had been gray and rainy outside most of the afternoon, so it was the perfect kinda day to bust out a kufi to conceal my conditioning hair and hit the road.

My shower cap was totally hidden. The only giveaway was the crunchy sound it would make whenever someone would touch my head… hahaha evidently that happens a lot btw

My Nike Dunk Shy High sneaker wedges have become a utility shoe for me. Ironically, actually kind of like that they match so few of the pieces in my closet. I just have fun with them and throw them on with whatever.

Check out my current jam below. Hope everyone’s doing well!

The Look For Less: Solange Knowles

To acknowledge my love for Solange’s fashion sense as anything short of a full blown style crush would be laughable. She has blossomed into the most refreshing fashion icon. Check out her dress and jacket by Haitian designer Azede Jean Pierre. This ensemble serve as the inspiration behind this week’s Look for Less.

The look is built around TOPSHOP’s Textured Panel Blazer ($130), a mytheresa.com long sleeve dress shirt ($168), Steve Madden ankle strap sandals (on sale!! $51), Red Stone and Black Colour Block ($20), Winged Clutch Ettika The Faith Statement Plate Triple Chain Bracelet ($18!!) and MAC Lipstick Lady Danger ($15). Never let intimidation get in the way of capturing the looks you dream of. There is always a way to create The Look for Less! Best, Chelsea
