How did I wear…resin coated pants?

Before the weather changes completely, I decided to bring out my newly purchased resin coated pants from H&M.

Resin coated? Yes, you heard it correctly. Resin is a specific coating that gives us that leather look, especially in black.

Tip: Stick with solid colored tops when styling your resin coated pants. If you go with a print, try stripes or polka dots.

Since the pants speak for themselves, I decided to pair it with a longline green tee, chelsea boots, and a wide brim fedora.

Tip: It’s technically winter still, and you should have no problem wearing boots in March. Chelsea or combat, any style of boots can go with these pants.

Call me a ethnic leprechaun, but this is the perfect pre-St Pattys Day look.

Tip: When the weather gets a little chilly, don’t forget your denim coat.

“Anyone who knows me knows that I love leather, especially a good vintage leather piece.” -Dyandra Raye

Recently, we had an opportunity to link up with our wardrobe stylist friend, Dyandra Raye. The last time we checked in with her, we spent some time discussing a very elegant, winter ball inspired look.

Today, Dyandra decided to give us two for one combo for this week’s individual style feature. The first look, which consists of a thrifted leather top, has a very Sex and the City type of vibe. In addition, we love the matching nude coat and strappy heel pairing. She definitely has the whole classy look down pact.

For the second outfit, Dyandra used minor accessories to turn a simple poncho into a chic dress. She states, “For my a dressier look I made this poncho into a dress and belted it to synch my waist.” 

Perfect for a night out on town, Dyandra further enhanced this look with a pair of distressed skinny jeans and leather heels. Sounds great, right?

A couple of weekends ago, I accidentally scheduled photoshoot in New York City at the crack of dawn.

You know what that means? I had to pull an up all nighter! Since I don’t get enough sleep as it is, you can tell I was not looking forward to this. The morning of the shoot finally arrived, I was still a little behind schedule.

How? Don’t ask. Just understand that I was running around like a mad man. In a complete rush, I grabbed this old hoodie sitting on my dresser and walked out the door.

Unbeknownst to me, this particular look was a complete hit. I received numerous compliments throughout the day.

Why? To be honest, I’m not exactly sure. We can only assume that the simplicity within the outfit itself was appealing enough to receive a round of applause.

In general, styling a longline tee with hoodie, and camel blazer combo were major brownie points. Plus, you can never go wrong with an old school snack back, distressed pair of skinny jeans, and sneakers. Let’s not forget the Adidas messenger bag. This accessory alone screams retro refined.

After 5: The Peacoat

For this weekend’s individual style feature, our girl Kelli shows how to dress appropriately for a chilly evening.

Known for her chic and classy style, Kelli is all about statement pieces! Even much so, she put together an outfit including a long sleeve crop top, skirt, boots, and a brightly colored pea coat.

In general, the wool pea coat is the perfect outerwear piece, especially during a chilly evening. Once you add a bold color like red to the mix, you have a very appealing look.

Even further, we love how Kelli was able to balance out her outfit using warmer colors. For example, shades of red and yellow go perfectly together, even when you add a little black to the mix.

Overall, this the perfect evening look. Great job Kelli!
