Do you ever feel like there's just nothing to wear? I often find myself blankly gazing at my closet... not really ideal since I end up running out the door like a maniac. Whilst staring into the depths of my closet, I noticed that I've accumulated a lot of black clothing. This is pretty odd for me since I typically migrate towards vibrant shades full of prints and intricate designs... With all these black pieces staring at me, I whipped up some of my favorites to create this look!

I'm wearing a sweater I bought from ZARA quite some time ago and I never paid attention to the printed pictures until now... It features flowers, a statue, an actual zipper and the only bit of color is from a blazing flame. I layered this over my western floral, embroidered button down from FOREVER 21. To finish off the look, I tossed on my favorite leather shorts and my suede IVANKA TRUMP Sarena OTK Boots. This outfit is perfect for school or a day at the library! Until next time!

I got these beautifully crafted Sam Edelman Mila Studded Booties, courtesy of Yoox, about 2 years ago however, I never found a way to style them. I would occasionally throw these gold and black booties on with random things I found in my closet. Pants, shorts, dresses... if you can name it, I probably tried it. I'm pretty petite so the outfits I conjured up made me feel tiny and a bit stumpy. But I wanted to wear these bad boys at least once. I spent my morning trying different outfits but none really worked. Another hurdle I had to face was wearing something that wouldn't be blown away by Santa Ana winds.

I eventually decided to go with an all black outfit. It was interesting working my attire from the bottom-up since I usually choose my shoes last. I tossed my favorite black motorcycle jacket over a basic black spaghetti strap and paired it with my black pleated leather skater skirt. Since I usually wear my 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel, I decided to switch it up to my ZAC Zac Posen Mini Loren cross-body. This all black ensemble works for school or a casual shopping day out since these boots are surprisingly comfortable! Hope you enjoyed this post! Until next time!
