Facing Your Fashion Fears
It's okay to step out of your comfort zone!
If you know me, then you probably already know that I am quite the minimalist. My entire wardrobe is made up of primarily black, white, and grey, with a few pops of colors every here and there. I always assumed that I preferred the more neutral colors because of the fact that I am pretty reserved and like to look cute without having to draw much attention to myself. However, due to social media and seeing all the bold colors hitting the runway during Fashion Week, I've been wanting to add a bit more pizzazz to my everyday looks.
How can I challenge my fashion fears?
As generic as it sounds, just go for it! If you think about it too much, you might end up completely changing your mind. Get rid of the thought that maybe things just "don't look right on you." (I'm guilty of doing this myself, so I know how it feels.) Remember, if you can put it on, then you can pull it off!
With this look, I decided to keep things fairly simple. One thing I love about Fall is being able to layer and play around with different textures. Being the minimalist that I am, I did not want to give myself a heart attack by throwing on every crazy item I own all at once. However, this vintage metallic lace skirt that I thrifted a while back has been sitting in my closet way too long, and I thought it was about time to let this gem out! While this piece is a lot bolder than what I would normally go for, I still felt confident in it and even got a few compliments, which is always a plus.
Long story short, don't let any fashion trends scare you. Do you want to wear that ruffled blouse you've had hanging in your closet for the longest? Go right ahead! Want to blind people with your highlight AND your metallic skirt? I won't stop you. Companies like Dia&Co. have Try-Day Fridays allowing their employees to step out of their comfort zones and try something new. YouTuber Safiya Nygaard has a whole series dedicated to trying out new/weird things for a week. It's always good to experiment a bit. You never know, you just might enjoy it.

Mathieu Mirano F/W 2016 Collection
It's a fashion lover's favorite time of the year, day one of NYFW has officially begun!
Today I had the opportunity to attend Mathieu Mirano's F/W 16 presentation at Pier 59 Studios. Inspired by his past trips to Egypt, Mathieu brought a taste of the desert with his latest collection to windy ol' NYC.
As soon as I walked into the room, I was immediately in awe. From the bold colors and eye-catching metallics used in his gowns to the sand and live tortoises walking around the models, I feel like his overall presentation was beautifully executed.
My favorite design from this collection:

Fall Trend: Metallics
Hey everyone! I'm finally back with a new post for you guys. It seems like these days you can't go into any store without seeing some kind of metallics. From gold, silver, and bronze to shiny pinks and blues, metallics are slowly taking over. I actually really like this trend and think it would be perfect for the upcoming holiday season. Here's a quick little OOTD post I put together using my favorite gold and black bustier/crop top. Enjoy!
That's all for today's post. Special thanks to Anna Matisova for the photos! I'm going to be uploading my first thrift haul video during the week, so make sure to check out the links below to stay updated. As always, thanks for reading :)
