Splurge v Save: The Maroon Boot

Maroon screams Fall more than most colors. I absolutely love this color, especially in a boot. I knew I had to have a pair this season. The best part, other than the price ,is you can wear this color as a neutral. It surprisingly works well while giving the look that extra something-something. The inspiration for this buy was nonetheless the Saint Laurent’s Lou Boot: Swoon-worthy, I know. However, they retail close to $2,000, which at the moment is not in my budget. Although, I am all for splurging on a quality shoe, the the alternatives at a much lower price…

Color Block an outfit : the monochromatic way

Whether you follow by the rules of fashion or not is entirely up to you. Personally, I wear what makes me feel good. Yes, time and again, I jump on the trend wagon. Often times, I try to ignore the mainstream trends and stick to ultimately looks good. This brings me to one of my favorite ways of creating an outfit: Color-Blocking! By definition, color-blocking is thought of as the exploration of taking colors that are opposites on the color wheel and pairing them together to make interesting and complementary color combinations. It is commonly associated in fashion as a trend that originated from the artwork of…
