A Take on Menswear - FTF Blog Event 8/17

This month's Full Time Fabulous blog event is about inspiration. With such a wide range, I admit I was stuck. I decided to look into my closet to see if I could find an idea. While I was at it, I started reorganizing my clothes when I found my old vest. I've only worn it a couple of times in high school & I've forget about it since.

Well, lately, I've been inspired by some menswear looks - especially now that it's getting closer to autumn, it seems like the perfect time to blend in some menswear pieces into my wardrobe. I'm loving the look of using menswear inspired pieces & mixing them with feminine touches. So I decided to roll with that idea for my outfit - though I dressed it down a bit since I was just going to the movies that night.

Summer - FTF Blog Event 7/13

So this month's Full Time Fabulous theme was about the beach. Well, I didn't really have the time to go to the beach so I visited Douglaston's private residential area nearby at the Manor Bay lookout point. It's peaceful, has rocks, some sand, and a beautiful view of the Little Neck Bay - I guess you can say it's pretty beachlike.

But this would've been my beach attire as well. Not only a comfortable outfit, but a great beach coverup look as well. Of course, a huge tote bag would be essential for holding all my things :)

Primary Colors - FTF Blog Event 6/8

For this month's Full Time Fabulous blog event, we had to form our post around a spring/summer trend. I incorporated about 3 of them into my outfit.

I attempted color blocking with bright colors with my bright blue skinny jeans, golden yellow top, and red clutch/wallet. Feathers have been everywhere as well, and so I wore my white feather earrings. Lastly, I love lace - all year round! I just layered my white lace tank top over my yellow one, and I completed my look with nude booties.

Springtime - FTF Blog Event

This month's Full Time Fabulous theme is about spring! New beginnings, warmer weather, flowers -- I did a combination of all. It was a beautiful day this past weekend so I decided to take some shots with the blossoming trees in front & back of my house.

I also wore a maxi skirt (this is just my 2nd time wearing it)! Before, I've always thought that I was too short to be wearing a maxi, let alone finding one that fits my height. After reading some blogs and fashion articles, I realized that maxis can actually look good & even make people look taller (like Rachel Zoe). Plus, it feels so comfortable!
