Spring Calling

As much as I love the holidays I really dislike winter. More specifically January through March. I dislike the cold weather, I dislike the lack of decorations, the naked trees, dead grass, the depressing colors and so on and so on. That being said I've taken it upon myself to "force" spring or at least have my outfits look as spring orientated as possible.

How? Well lately I've been seeing a lot of brightly colored coats and I'm completely on board with that movement. Not to say I don't love coats in the typical camel, navy blue, grey and black colors I do, they're a classic looks. But at the same time it gets so boring and expected. I want a jacket that I can look at and instantly puts me in a good mood.

So similar to the Leather Pants Love posts I put up in November I put together this Spring Calling set to give you guys an idea of what I meant:

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:

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.
