Quite a Sight in Black & White

 Hellooo my fellow trend-setters! Want to know a HUGE tip for wearing the latest and greatest fashion?? This year has been all about mixing the old with the new! Whoever said "out with the old, in with the new?" Because it should really be, "combine the two!" Great outfits are all about styling and mixing great, old vintage pieces with new, hip clothes which will mark any great trend-setter as a confident fashionista. For the old, I decided to rock a vintage white blazer with 80's RayBans and my great-grandmother's vintage purse! Then for the new, I threw on my new black, sheer blouse with a striped black and white vest on top, black booties, and clunky jewelry and TAA DAHHHH! A classic outfit was born :) 

Where to wear this:

This classic ensemble is great for a business meeting/interview, or for just look straight fabulous while vintage shopping (like me) on a fun sunny day. Girls keep it classy and sassy and throw on a red lip to wow your admirers and finish off the look in style. Feel free to wear your hair in a fun top knot bun to look classy and distinguished, or let that mane flow wild and free like me ;) Messy curls and waves are always sexy and cute, so feel free to let your locks fly! Remember that classy never goes out of style, so rocking this kind of outfit will only make you look fabbbbulous :)

Black Out

So today I totally felt like rocking black from head-to-toe. Not only is black slimming, but it's also so elegant, especially sheer! Sheer tops and sheer, flowy skirts are SO in right now and are an amazing way to transform your everyday outfit into a beautiful, feminine one. I intermixed a summery look with ankle booties and a long-sleeve sheer button down to act as my thin, but comfortable "sweater." 

Where to Wear This:

This outfit is great for an easy, breezy summer day and can be easily layered to create your very own "winter-look." The color black is such a fun color to bulk on the jewelry with, so accessorize away ladies! Either pop a fun color to your dark outfit or throw on some fun, chunky silver (or gold) jewelry like me and keep it clean and simple. Remember to never shy away from wearing all black! I promise you'll be looking classy, elegant, and divineeee in this sweet little ensemble :)

Red HOT

This season, blazer's have been allll the buzz. Bright colors are so in right now and adding a fun color to your normal, demure outfits really spices things up. Make a POP in a statement red blazer such as this and pair with some fun, chunky jewelry (the chunkier the better!) to look super "in the now." Reds and golds always look fab together especially over the holiday season, but who says it has to stop there? Rock this fit and turn heads all winter long :) Have fun!

Where to wear this:

I personally wore this at school today and got tons of compliments on this great blazer. Wanna know the secret?? Rip off old, cheap buttons and replace with more fun, statement buttons to enrich your look and wow your friends. Just a quick stitch and BAM! Wardrobe update complete. The buttons can be matching or better yet, be a collection of mix and match styles that accentuate the other and your whole outfit. Looks nice right? :)

Feel free to rock this look at school, out to lunch with friends, or even off to a job interview! Trust me, you'll be looking red HOT! ;)

Spots & Rain Drops

Rainy days don't always have to be a drag! Take hold of the cold and bundle up in style. Grab a great scarf like mine and pair it with lots of fun, cozy layers. I rocked my rainy day fit with a flirty, black trench coat, a gray, frilly vest,  fun leg warmers to keep you all toasty and warm, and cute leopard rain boots to finish the look with a girly glam. Pair this easy look with fun accessories and a girly little umbrella and VWALLA! You now have yourself a look worth singing in the rain about :)

Where to wear this:

I personally wore this out and about to grab some quick hot chocolate and a scrumptious bagel while finishing the day browsing fun, vintage shops. Feel free to wear this on a casual, lazy day when you just feel like bundling up in the rainy weather while also looking simple yet fabulous. Don't let the rain keep you from strutting your stuff, use it to your advantage and work those rain boots all day long!

My goal is to give all you readers out there new and innovative ideas on how to style an outfit, or where to get great pieces that will spice up any wardrobe you have.

FYI- I decided to title my fashion blog, Kiss Me I'm Stylish, not only because, yes I am part Irish (so I'm not a fake who just thought the play on words was funny) but also because I personally believe it's such a cute, girly phrase that will be memorable to the fashion world.
