It's My Birthday!

Posted by Jalisa on Sep 29, 2017 under Dressed Up Casual

A very Happy Friday my dear friends!

Today's my birthday, my last year in my 20s (#29onthe29th), which I still can't believe, since it feels just like yesterday I graduated college and just like last week was the last day of high school; it's crazy how fast time goes by! It's been one rollercoaster of a year; we moved, I got pregnant, and had Aviah. I feel incredibly blessed and grateful. As for birthday plans, there's nothing really on the agenda other than celebrating with something small at my house and what I really want most is a nice long nap, lol. Seriously though.

2 Easy Ways to Transtion Your Summer Wardrobe for Fall

Happy Wednesday my beautiful friends!

On Monday, I talked about the utility jacket, but a denim jacket is just as versatile, if not more because it's denim and works with anything as a pair of jeans would. Just as you would add a dresser black blouse with a pair of jeans for a combination that's both dressed up, yet casual, you can do the same with a denim jacket and basic LBD. Also, a light weight scarf is also a perfect addition for more added warmth in the mornings and can be used as a wrap or even a poncho, if you were to wear a waist belt, if it begins to heat up more throughout the day and the denim is too heavy.

Happy Monday my gorgeous friends!

You know my love for fall runs deep, it's one of my favorite seasons. You also know that I have an obsession with outerwear and one of the perfect jackets for the season is a utility jacket. They usually go with any casual outfit, since they're often in an earthy natural color, like olive or military green, similar to mine. The one I'm wearing has leather contrasts on the sleeve, for an edgier take, but you can of course opt for styles that don't have it. I actually love this camo one, especially since camo is trending huge this fall season, which we talked about in this post.
