Modern and Classic

Practically, the majority of crop tops are "skin tight." I wanted to find one that was loose, yet cropped. One that wouldn't mark every part of my upper body. This denim cropped top that I am wearing is from my favorite "fast fashion" retail store, H&M.

What creates this look to be classified as modern, are the hints of gold chain on my heels,  the statement necklace, and most of all throwing an item that's currently in (cropped tops). The black high-waisted skirt is conservative, making the outfit look "classic"!

Outfit tip: When you pair a loose top with a fitted bottom (visa-versa), the look will achieve balanced and proportion. You don't want to overwhelm the outfit and possibly loosing your silhouette with baggy clothing!

Denim Crop Top: H&M $17.95
Necklace: H&M $14.95
High-waisted skirt: H&M $24.95
Black chained shoes: H&M on sale for $20!

Items Picked, for "Going Out"

Sometimes before going to work, I walk into stores and pick out an affordable item here and there. One of the main reasons behind this "impulsive" mini shopping, is to prepare my outfits to go out on the weekend lol. I hate not knowing what to wear (PERIOD) >.< ! But I really hate it when an hour before heading out your house you have like 3 outfits and you are unsure of what to wear, either because in one of those outfits you think you look a little chunky or in your eyes something isn't just looking right. So in order to avoid that stressful situation I prepare my outfits ahead of time haha ;P

& so I bought...

#GIRLBOSS

OMG! Yesterday, I ordered #Girlboss by Sophia Amoruso who is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal. She shares her rags-to-riches story on how she made it in the business world. Amoruso, states the books as, "part business book, part life bible." Girlboss is about being the boss of your life and not necessary listening to what the world tells you to have, or the resources you need to become an entrepreneur. Anyway, I ordered the book on Amazon and it said it will arrive within 10-14 business days. Like what the heck?!? I can't wait that long, but as in right now I can't afford next day shipping lol. I was so anxious to read it, I came up with the idea to download the sample book from the iBook store. Since it's a sample book, it only previews 57 pages! ;( It has me wanting moreeeeee & now I'm even more impatient! Within the very first few pages I can sense Sophia's tone of voice towards her speakers. When I read articles, books, or anything related to fashion I like to have a connection, & that's what I'm finding in this book. I CANNOT WAIT until I receive my copy! ♡ !

You can purchase the book from:
