Starring: Sky and Fire

The combo of chambray and deep red just makes me plain ole happy.  It's like mixing the calm sky with a burning fire.  It ends up being classic, but still stands out.  In the below outfits I specifically chose light denim - solely for my love of denim and its versatility.  All are paired with a neutral shoe to keep the red in spotlight.

The jewelry in this post are from my favorite brand Dannijo.  I love them for their creating sustainable economic opportunity for women in underdeveloped areas of the world.  All packaging is handmade in Rwanda as part of their women's empowerment initiative.

And don't forget the WINE!

I did a similar post HERE on denim and white =)

Starring: Little Black Tank Dress

I have mentioned before how much I love being a fashion chameleon, but I think this post will explain further what I mean by that.  First, you need to have the right basics to build from in order to be a successful chameleon.  Today I am highlighting my most favorite:  The Little Black Tank Dress.  Many a youngin' would just wear this as is, without any layers, but that's a wee boring...and I don't quite have the body of a teenager anymore and need things to cover me up.  Oye I sound like my mother! 

Ok let's start with the dress...

What I like about this one is that it is fitted, affordable, and best of all a mini.

Now, let's just go for a skate around Venice Beach...

This hoodie is for a child, but I am very hopeful they make extra extra large children's sizes =)

Mom, please buy me these Vans.  I NEEEEED them!**

Now, let's say I'm feeling preppy and maybe meeting my boyfriend's parents for lunch today...

One of my favorite outfits is a cropped sweater over a long button down white shirt. Never will get sick of it.

Now, it's time for a night out with the girls.  

I'm feeing trendy and rock 'n roll per my usual late night style.

You may even want to tie up that blouse to define your waist a bit.

Soooo..do you see why you need this simple black dress, yet?!? 

I hope so. I'm out of posts =)

** Needed so badly that I couldn't even wait until this post aired. Mom, don't buy them. =)

We got a little taste of summer over here on the west coast a couple weekends ago, and baby it was good.  Now that it is chilly again, and I'm in my cozy leggings and sweaters for another week at least, I am fantasizing about my future tan and summer toned bod (wishful thinking for sure here).  If my "get hot for summer plan" continues/actually works, I am gearing up for sleeveless and minis - and bravely in WHITE. Ambitious, I know, but it's all about winning 30. ;)

P.S. My fave below is the Victoria Beckham outfit, but knowing me, I'd actually wear the Dolce Vita bootie combo instead.
