One of my favorite outfit pairings are things that juxtapose each other. Take for instance, this motorcycle jacket. It is a utilitarian piece that was given a softer touch in a sky blue color yet it still possesses that strong, tough grit with silver hardware dispersed over the jacket. Now throw this firm jacket onto an asymmetrical cotton sweater dress that sways with just the slightest breeze. For some unexplainable reason, it creates harmony. Although I wanted to keep with the blue scheme, I decided to opt for some suede taupe colored peep-toe heels. What are your thoughts about mixing strong and softer pieces? 

Can I get a virtual raise of hands to those who LOVE LOVE LOVE shopping? Lots of emphasis on the word L O V E. But what if I told you that you could get free clothes each month! Yeah, you read that correctly, F R E E! Your eyes are not deceiving you!

I recently discovered an online retailer called, IFCHIC. They carry various independent brands, that you don't typically see in stores, along with some well known labels such as Alexander Wang and The Row. At first glance, you may notice that the average cost of an item ranges from $100-$200. HOWEVER, *cue suspenseful drumroll* you can earn $180, in IFCHIC tokens, towards your purchases on the 24th of EACH month! You can start collecting tokens after you make an account on IFCHIC. You'll see some pop-up prompts, either on the left or right hand side, with a rotating golden token. You can collect up to a maximum of $6 per day. What's the catch? You can ONLY use these IFCHIC tokens on the 24th and you can never collect more than $180 each month. So make sure to visit their site each day to collect your tokens!

This Greylin, Luisa Sleeveless Sweater Dress was purchased with IFCHIC tokens on their site! They ship extremely fast and the packaging is perfect! I know it's summer but this dress was calling my name! It works well for the office with d'Orsays and transitions perfectly into my after 5 attire. All you have to do is throw on a motorcycle jacket and this dress is date night ready!

So start collecting those tokens to use it at their next #ifchic24 event on August 24th!! Until next time!
