High Waist:My Taste...

Today's look I went for simple yet classy. I woke up feeling excited so I decided to dress that same way. I went through my closet to pull out my white H&M tank top, which can be purchased at www.hm.com for $7.95. One of my most favorite type of pants are "high-waist" pants or shorts. Why? I'll tell you why- high waist pants/shorts reveals your curves like no other! My favorite pair of high-waist pants are my $7 Levi slacks that I picked up from the Salvation Army. What a steal! These light blue perfect fitting slacks can turn any outfit into a masterpiece creation.

I decided to spice it up by throwing on my Zara 4 inch heeled orange sandals for a splash of color. These shoes can be purchased from Zara.com for $79.95, and the material on these shoes are amazing! Sometimes you have to change your look up. I decided to wear a back, low bun with this outfit because I really wanted people to notice my high waist pants. I wore my hair in a messy ball at the back for more suitable appearance and also for the hair trends of today. (Hair pinned up will also work) Next time you want to spice up your work day, throw on a pair of high-waist pants with a pair of bright colorful heels to ensure some spark in your day!

Simplicity...

Let me first start out by saying this, labels do not define people. Yes a popular name brand may look appealing to the outside eye, but in reality it's just a name. The fabric, the texture, and the pattern can simply be from one place and the only difference is a popular name is thrown on it. That's it. You ever heard of the saying, "Less is Best?" That saying states volumes, the less you do, the better masterpiece you can create. 

This look is very simple but yet very appealing to the eye. My black & white checkered skirt came from Ross Department Store for $8.99. Wow! What a bargain! My tank top came from Marshalls for $4.99 for a set of two, (black and white), my necklace was on sale at Burlington Coat Factory for $3.99 and of course my shoes came from the amazing online inexpensive website Lola Shoetique. 

Now whoever said you had to wear expensive labels to capture someone's attention clearly doesn't turn too many heads, because it's not about WHO you have on, it's about HOW you have it on to create your own style and your own art.
