monochrome

monochrome for the win.

as much as i love outfits that coordinate with different color schemes, i am a big fan of monochrome. itā€™s like a subtle fashion statement that takes no time to put together because youā€™re literally just following one color. or itā€™s also fun to do various hues of the same shade! here i went went with two styles ā€” workwear in the prettiest hunter green & casual style in all white (absolutely yes, please wear all-white after labor day!). while thereā€™s still uncertainly of us returning to work, i still love looking and purchasing workwear, if anything, these two make some good WFH tops! no worries, we wonā€™t judge on the bottoms or lack of haha.

side ramblings: lemme tell you how taking photos with a tripod is goingā€¦ itā€™s interesting! LOL. again, itā€™s one of those things that looks easy, but dang, it ainā€™t. itā€™s actually VERY time consuming and not to mention it looks QUITE SILLY && even more un-natural than someone taking your photos. but iā€™m gonna keep at it! the @sephora beauty event kicks off later this week and i canā€™t wait!! why yes, i do have my cart prepped and ready to go šŸ˜ itā€™s the best time to stock up on your fave skincare brands or try something new! lastly, @senreve launched the Alunna and sheā€™s a beauty isnā€™t she?!

hello december, howdy #birthdaymonth!

i will warn you that this post will be picture heavy if you click on the read more button. why? oh, because iā€™m in an empty fountain having a ball! thanks to my photographer, Steven who also helped me get into it. :D i digress. letā€™s have a small chat about these white denim jeans sent to me from Everlane, shall we? letā€™s just say they made me give away my other white denim jeans. the fit, the not having to worry if my jeans are see-thru are out the window with these. on top of that, they are a 10.5ā€ rise so a little below my belly button for the #over30club. yā€™all know iā€™m a fan of all things @everlane and this ENTIRE OUTFIT is no exception. i know they worked hard to make some non-see thru white denim, so kudos to Everlane! this is my second silk top from @everlane. and lemme tell you, i have wanted this top for a while #meloveyoulongtime. i am so happy my rep sent it to me!! itā€™s more of a boxy fit and short so easy to do a half tuck in front (as shown here). i love the mock neck #duh and after the jump you can see how i tied/styled the sashes different ways!

side ramblings: WHOO HOOO!! here we go, last month of 2019, i canā€™t even believe it. not sure where time or 2019 wentā€¦ the JD x @phlur sip + shop holiday party is happening this weekend already!! click here to RSVP for Saturday, 12/07/2019 from 3-5PM & come by and say HOWDY! thanksgiving was a complete BLAST. spent quality time with family, ate a ton, shopped, did a couple of @meganroupā€™s // @thesculptsociety cardio dance work out videos with my cousins and made sure to capture some of those shenanigans (under IG highlights ā€œmiscā€) #goodtimes. december also kicks offā€¦ #birthdaymonth and so this and next week are filled with festivities and extra #treatmyself activities in prep for the big 3-5. :)
