Wednesday = Hump Day

Hey Guys! Let me talk about Wednesdays ,the notorious Hump Day. Wednesdays are more then just a hump day they're my day. Because my work schedule is odd and I have a set work uniform Wednesdays are my day to actually dress the way I want to. I'm pretty sure everyone has their "one" day,Thursdays, Fridays or what have you. 

Anyways usually I spend my Wednesdays running errands that I couldn't get around to earlier in the week. For this particular Wednesday ,because the weather is still pretty shitty, I threw on my American Apparel Fisherman Pullover Sweater (it's like wearing a space heater) with one of my many chambray shirts from 2 years ago. Side note: If you can invest in a chambray shirt do it! They're great and they go with everything. I also pulled out my favorite lipstick by far Heroine by MAC. (Thank God its been brought back)





Zara's sale is still going on so I attempted to make a quick stop in there just to check things out, ended up spending an hour and walked out with 3 pair of jeans. So mission somewhat accomplished. 







And once again my trusty booties from Old Navy. 

Thank You guys for checking out my blog. Don't forget to leave some feedback I'm really interested in knowing what you guys think. Also don't forget to subscribe to me.

Net VS Knicks

Hey guys! Here's a quick post before I head off to work. A couple of my friends have been asking me, "What should I wear to a basketball game?". As everyone knows, including if you're from Brooklyn or New York in general, it's basketball season. Time to hit the Barclays Center or MSG and basically fight for your team regardless of how many times they've lost (clear throats......Nets). Regardless if you just hopped on the bandwagon or the Knicks have been your favorite team since they actually started playing together as a team. Even though (Thank God!)Melo lead the Knicks to win against the Heat at home last night, you still want to show up and bring your shit while you're cheering in the bleachers.   

I personal feeling dressing for a basketball game is the easiest thing. It's literally just putting together a cleaner version of your casual look.  So you can break out your white tees and your plaid shirts and just pair it with dark blue skinny jeans, a pair of booties or tall wedge boots. Also if you know me I'm always attempting to explain exactly what I mean but I always finish by saying, "Urghh let me see if I have a picture." So I went ahead and made a Polyvore set to give you guys an example of what I mean:
Basketball Season







Thanks Guys for coming back and checking out my blog. I hope you enjoy. Don't forget to leave some feedback, comments, and subscribe to my blog. Enjoy your weekend.

Everyday Uniform

I'm officially back. Yes! I know I completely neglected my blog since what.... Thanksgiving and for that I'm truly sorry. But after a hectic month filled with finals, Christmas shopping, Christmas parties,snowstorms and work I am finally back. 

Anyways I wanted to finally show you guys what I meant by this 5th and Idle phrase that I put together thus becoming the title for this blog. 

I usually opt for pieces that multitask. I've been stuck on waxed pants this whole season they are by far the best purchases anyone can make you can wear them with LITERALLY anything. I purchased mine from H&M. They're pretty comfortable, they have that faux-leather look, you can wear them to school, work, and then head straight to happy hour or dinner and still be dressed appropriately. That being said I threw on one of my favorite leopard print sweaters. I'm usually not that big into regular leopard print but this one by far is my favorite.  







Stay warm guys. Don't forget I love feedback, so tell me what you think.

Turkey Day Part Two

Turkey Day with my family is a huge deal. I'm talking about Sunday's best dressed up deal. So I took a page out of my own Leather Love post from two weeks ago for my Turkey Day outfit. My ultimate favorite combination is chambray shirts and leather. 

 

 My leather pencil skirt from Zara was perfect. It wasn't too long to have that "eat up my legs" look since I'm already short and it wasn't too short to be inappropriate. My chambray shirt from forever ago is one of my favorites I pair it with everything and it always works.



It was the perfect mix of minimal effort and big impact. 
Tell me what you usually wear for your family dinner.
