Neoprene, neoprene, neoprene! This is the first neoprene item in my closet and I adore the fit - I love how it "poofs" out in all the right places. Plus, it's extremely lightweight! I kept this outfit simple by pairing this dress with black accessories (3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli and Baldinini Heels).

As a side note, it has been quite some time since I actually went out to take outfit pictures (around a month). The outfits I've been posting were taken 1-2 months ago. Yeah, I've been that busy.... However, I now have some free time so you guys can count on more recent pictures! Anyways, yesterday was my first free Saturday in about a month so I decided to purge my closet. I need to sell A LOT of my clothes to save up money for tuition! Checkout my Poshmark @adriennenguyenn. I am updating my virtual closet everyday and many items are new with/out tags or gently worn! Hope you guys like this post - 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!
