DIY Shorts x Kimono

Happy Saturday Hautees! 

DIY projects can be the cutest outfits you create. I've had these pants for at least several years and wanted something new from them. So, snip, snip. 

The best part about these shorts, they were cut up a year ago and time has only made them better. Continous washes gave them the exact style I was looking for. Funny thing is, they're now on the trend. HA! 

I love when something old becomes new. 

Last year's Kimono - paired with my shorts and nude cowboy boots from the past, was my look of the day.

The Pleated Skirt

Happy Friday Hautees! 

Ann Taylor has to be one of my BFF's when it comes to skirts.

 

I'm so in love with the style of a pleated skirt. Especially, the ones with pockets. 

It's sophisticated, chic and everything haute! 

Of course, there's always a twist to my style of dressing.

 A crisp white button up with my gladiator sandals, spiced things up exactly how I like it. For the office, I would normally throw on a pair of pointy heels or a strapless sandal. However, this wasn't a day in the office so I went with a streetstyle look with my pleated skirt. 

*wink* wink*

Joggers x Heels

Happy Thursday Hautees! 

Nothing is more comfortable than a chic pair of joggers. 

Loving the simplicity. 

Throwing on a pair of heels. 

No need for an iron. 

Forget the polished look. 

Taking a sporty vibe and twisting it into my own tomboy glitch. 

Comfort and cozy, stylish and chic. 

Joggers x heels, for a lazy day, anytime of the year. 

Or in my case, when I just want to chill. 

Outfit Details: Joggers ~ BCBG; Jacket ~ Adidas (Right?! As you can see. *smirk*) Heels ~ Also shoes; Accessories ~ Gold hoops and cuff; Hair ~ Wild as ever…

The Red Hat

Happy Wednesday Hautees!!! 

There was this old red hat that I found tucked away in my closet, hidden beneath other big brim hats that I somehow have forgotten about. Whether a lazy hair day, my wooly twist or just in the mood, I grabbed my hat and hit the door. 

The thick wool-like floppy was right on time for one of my favorite seasons. I've waited far too long for Fall to come back to me where I can adorn myself in warmer clothing.  

Missing oversized sweaters, hats and jackets. 

But you know, sometimes, a simple hat can turn your everyday rags into a chic ensemble. Making it a statement piece with just a plane white tee and denim... *wink* wink* 

A big floppy hat is almost equivalent to wearing sunglasses. (IMO)… 

You want to remain haute but you really don't care for anyone to see your face… HA! 

And, let's not forget those old wide-leg jeans. 

If you can wear them, rock'em! 

Bringing back that old 60's style ~ Wide-Legs with a Floppy Hat. 

Loving how my old rags are now on the trend... 

(Truth be told, I would still love them trending or not. Oh, the joys of recycling clothing!)

Culottes & Blues

Happy Tuesday Hautees! 

Culottes is the name of the game… 

The trend that has everyone talking and flocking to stores to pick up this years hautest pants. Burning up magazine pages and a must-have for all streetstyle stars. Last Spring, they were in full effect and yet to today, shows no sign of leaving our wardrobe. Whether you choose the shorts and/or pants, the silhouette they provide are to die for! 

I'm in love with the wide cuts. 

The loose fit. 

How they flow when you walk. 

How the thicker material adds a more polished look to the chic shape. 

The endless shoe possibilities! 

Ankle boots, loafers, flats or heels. 

 

A great shoe shine is a blue shoe shine! 

Rocking blue and white stripes with these fabulous blush pants! 

Outfit Details: Everything Zara! 

(I know, no mix match but hey…)

Loving the cozy, chic, comfy Culottes!

Denim x Denim

Happy Casual Monday Hautees!!! 

Pulling denim rags from my archives are the best. 

Funny how some things never leave your wardrobe. 

I love this old Guess jacket that I bought from Sam's Club about 10 years ago. 

Yes, that's right, I purchased it from Sam's Club. HA! 

The years that have gone by only made this jacket more desirable in my eclectic wardrobe. 

Faded jeggings from the past remain a favorite on chill days when I'm out and about. 

Pairing the old with the new. 

Like, who would have ever thought Birkenstocks could make a come back? Although, fashion only repeats itself time after time. I'm wearing imitation stocks but it really doesn't matter the brand. 

It's all about the style! 

Denim x Denim, my way!

Blue x White x Blue

I absolutely love a good shirtdress that I can wear in any style that I please. 

Short shorts aren't always favorable for my style of dress. 

Wearing a shirtdress or kimonos or anything that covers my little junk in the back is usually my style of short shorts. 

Blue x White x Blue everything! 

Especially with my Nike Cortez that I like to call my Trophy shoes *wink* wink*
