One of my favorite questions tends to give me the most pause - where did you get your outfit? Literally it comes from bits and places? What does that mean - some items I have had forever and others I picked up from Forever 21, a gifting event, online and more. I never feel the need to wear something simply because I bought it and it's new; however, when I start putting items together, the overall effect is one that seems like I planned for everything to work well with one another. What would I wear on a casual day?
When I have no set plans, I tend to wear something that works well when I'm pounding away at Starbucks on my laptop yet will be perfect for an unexpected launch event that I was invited to where I can still enjoy wearing my jeans and top but may need to grab an accessory. As a rule, I am a firm believer in my accessories dominating my entire look! It's essential that I have the perfect cuff and many times my shoes do match or at least correspond to my bag or wallet. I love the Nina Raye Crocodile Wallet which has that great luxe feel. When you're in a meeting at Starbucks and are running back and forth for another infusion of a Soy Chai Latte, people can't help but notice that this accessory compliments these boots by Frye! In addition, I am a fan of skinny jeans so the Dolman top by Velvet looks so comfortable and casual while having rhinestones to give a hint of elegance which comes in handy when you realize that you have drinks with the girls. A bare arm is never an excuse so find a cuff that works well for you and this one by Anna Beck Rajua is perfect! When you shop don't just think about something event specific, thing about items that you'll need in terms of a collection. A collection must be balances and yet work into different themes.

I love those boots...
