Outfit of the Day: Accessories Make the Outfit

Statement Making Accessories

Hi guys! I know it has been a while, but I am finally back with an updated outfit of the day post! For a trip to church a few Sundays ago, I decided to play up a simple outfit with bold accessories.

(I have been thinking of starting each blog post with a selfie since I take so many lol! What do you think?) 

When wearing a simple outfit I always try to add a pop of color or a little extra pizzazz with my accessories. I chose to play up my simple black skirt and tank with a bold black and white striped blazer, a statement necklace, a bright fluorescent satchel that I wore as a clutch and statement making black pump. 
When choosing accessories sometimes less is more! I did not want to overpower my already bold blazer and bag so I chose to go with a chunky statement necklace, minimal earring and forgo wearing any other jewelry besides my wedding ring. 




What is your take on bold statement pieces such as this fluorescent bag and statement necklace? Do you dare to be bold with your accessories?

ZARA SALE!!!!!!!!!

If you are not already aware, Zara's seasonal sale launched a few days ago! I was of course excited to see what items I could snag during the sale and as usual, Zara did not disappoint. Although I am "plus size" I still shop Zara. You should never let your size determine where you shop because you would be surprised what you can wear depending on the material or the cut. But that is a story for another blog post. I own a few clothing pieces but most of the items I own consist of shoes, handbags and accessories. These are items that can make or break an outfit and I must say that I am usually very pleased with the items that I purchase from Zara. Here are some of my favorites from the sale.







If you haven"t already, make sure to check out the Zara sale and score yourself some awesome deals. Happy shopping!

Currently Trending: The Bucket Bag

The Bucket List

One of my most recent obsessions has been the Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. This bag is a classic piece that can be worn with everything and will be a staple in any wardrobe for years to come. This gorgeous bucket bag is crafted from fine leather and is offered in an array of colors to fit any style pallet or profile. This bag is a bit on the pricey side, but as I stated before, I feel that it is an investment piece that will be used and can also be passed down to future generations if properly cared for. 



If the price of the Masur Gavriel is out of your comfort range, check out some of the cheaper alternatives I found below.





How do you feel about the bucket bag? Do you think it is a wardrobe staple? I would love to know your thoughts so please leave me a comment. Thanks for reading!
