Poplin and Platforms

Taking the poplin trend into fall with ruffle sleeves and ribbon suspenders. Absolutely loving my Stella McCartney look alike platforms by Jeffrey Campbell. I’ve been looking for this style of shoe for some time now and couldn’t bring myself to purchase the Stella’s. Although they are white, I plan to where these babies year round if weather permits. Polished the look off with my go to BDG high waisted jeans and this gorgeous velvet Gucci Dionysus super mini cross body in the color berry. This will be my statement bag for fall. I needed parts of the Gucci Dionysus trend but could not spend upwards of $2,000 on the bag. This super mini was a fraction of the cost but still gives all the feels. IN LOVE.

By now you all should understand my love for denim on denim, also known as the “Canadian Tuxedo.” I’ve really been feeling this trend lately because it’s such an easy way to look incredibly put together whilst being incredibly comfortable. How do you feel about the trend? Let me know in the comments and post your favorite denim look with the hashtag #expertamateur

Today’s look features a few year old western denim dress I caught on super sale at Asos. In college I was a faithful Asos shopper but since have fallen off, I have recently rediscovered the gem because you really can’t beat the prices AND free shipping…Topped the look off with my denim JCrew jacket because the weather is a little more chilly than it has been and my grungy old converse. It seems the older they get, the more I love them.

I know it has been a while but this Baltimore weather has me so confused. I don’t know whether to wear flowy printed spring tops or to keep out my suede thigh highs…so I did both. As you (should) know I am trying to go a few months without putting heat on my air hence the 70s puff balls. The Gucci belt has been on my wish list for months so I decided to treat myself for my birthday. The hair and belt tie this look together perfectly!

10 Things to Buy Before AA Goes Out of Business

Leave a comment

Emergency Post!! Okay so I just found out that our beloved American Apparel is closing down due to apparent bankruptcy! What the heck! This store’s price point was much too high for a struggling college student budget but I somehow managed to pull my coins together for the perfect club attire…you remember the cotton halter top bodysuit with the v-neck and cut out back? Every college girls favorite (most anyway). The best part of shopping at AA is the versatility of their items. So this post is dedicated to American Apparel, the basics Mecca. I have selected 10 of my favorite items that you may want to purchase before the deed is done. The store is offering 40% off of everything site-wide and in-store.

I stated in a previous blog post that I would try to get back to my natural hair ways in 2017 so here it is…my little fro fro. It honestly tears me up inside when I look back at old pictures of my poppin fro 😦 anyway, I committed to less heat this year so after my birthday I’ll be puff balls and twist outs for the next few months.

Also, I have talked a lot about my love/hate relationship with Zara because their clothes are always so trendy and cute but the quality is pretty horrific. So I’ve decided that I will only shop at Zara during their twice yearly sale. This top was $50 when I first had my eye on it around October, 3 months later I scored this top for $15.99! And this is the stuff I’m talking about!! Sooooo many pieces that I purchased in the last few months were on SUPER SALE. I’m talking 79.90 marked down to 19.99. I was highly irritated to say the least. As a result, I am making a declaration to only purchase at Zara during their sales because I just cannot. Spending $80 on a pair of pants that rip two weeks later is just not in the cards for me…19.99 I think I can do.

*The Zara items I am wearing here are sold out online but you can check your local store if you are interested*

SN: I really have to get back into the gym as the little bit of curves I had are disappearing into fluff. Peace!

img_0391img_0392img_0340img_0337img_0315img_0251img_0233img_0246img_0283img_0289Casual Sunday’s call for simple denim on denim looks. Denim on denim is definitely a trend that has been updated and has made its way back around within the past 2-3 years or so. I am wearing a BDG Chambray Button Down that I purchased from Urban Outfitters (Denim Chambray) along with a Zara denim skirt (29.90!), and Nordstrom BP booties. My bag is the Louis Vuitton Favorite PM in the classic Monogram Canvas and I am obsessed! I am also wearing a brooch that belongs to my mother but wishing it were this Chanel brooch! Even still, I felt that the brooch definitely added something extra to this look! Share your thoughts about denim on denim and adding flare to your look with a simple brooch below!
