Out of My Kloset

Hello! Today, I took the opportunity to wear my new silver metallic, circle skirt that Out of My Kloset recently sent me to review on my blog. This is the "Silver Metallic Leather Skirt" by Ark & Co. and it sells for $55 HERE. I am extremely pleased with this skirt. When I first ordered it, I was nervous about the fit but the medium fits perfectly. And of course, you guys know that I'm in love with the shape of this skirt. However, what really stands out about this skirt is the silver metallic color and faux leather texture of this skirt. The combination just screams "luxe."I was also impressed with the superb quality of the skirt- it even has a lining underneath the visible part of the skirt. How great is that?

I chose to style it with a sheer, maroon & black striped button down. Of course, it was too cold out to just wear that so I layered an open knit black sweater over top of it followed by a vintage camouflage jacket. I mean, how could my look be complete without a print or two? Maroon tights, black combat boots, olive-colored sunglasses and a silver bones necklace completed the look.

This silver bones necklace is actually another new addition to my wardrobe. This is the "Lovely Bones Statement Necklace" in silver. Glint & Gleam sells it on ShopLately for $14.50 with free shipping HERE. I can already tell that this necklace is going to be a popular piece in my wardrobe. I love the quirky, edginess of the piece and can envision it with a multitude of outfits.

How to Style a Crop Top in the Winter

Hello! Temperatures continue to remain low in Philadelphia (as you can tell by my red face in the photo) and I continue to layer, layer, layer. Despite the freezing temperatures, I chose to wear a crop top today. I know, I know- what was I thinking? But if worn correctly and layered with other pieces, you can still stay warm wearing a crop top! 

Okay but first let me talk a little bit about this crop top. This is the "Daisies Crop Top by Jac Vanek" that retails for $49 HERE on ShopLately. Unfortunately, this top is now sold out. I guess it was a pretty hot commodity, huh? It has two daisies on the front of the shirt that you can't really see in this photo but they are beyond adorable. I can't wait to wear this top with my daisy flower crown later this year! Now onto how to wear a crop top in the freezing cold. 

The first step is to pair it with a pair of high-waisted bottoms like this high-waisted skirt so that minimal (if any) skin is showing. Next, I layered on a pair of fleece-lined tights followed by a simple pair of gray tights followed by a pair of black knee-high socks. This combination definitely kept my legs nice and toasty. 

I then layered a cozy gray cardigan over top of the crop top followed by a nubby black and white cardigan. I added yet another layer over that with my furry leopard print coat. If this isn't the perfect combination to keep warm in the freezing cold while still wearing a crop top then I don't know what is!

Doc Martens kept my feet warm while also preventing me from slipping around dozens of times with all of the snow and ice that still covers the pathways. I accessorized with a handful of rings, a plentitude of necklaces and a stylish pair of sunglasses.
