Style Diary: Black and White Fashions

I just bought myself my very first pre-loved bag through Avelle, otherwise known as Bag Borrow or Steal.  It’s a bold, black and white striped Chanel bag with the iconic chain strap.  And I absolutely adore it!

Here, I’m wearing a Forever 21 blouse, puff-sleeve black cardigan from H&M, Aldo shoes and a skirt from a Korean boutique.  I love the black and white top.  It’s very Chanel-inspired.

Trench coat shown below is by Sinclaire, an exclusive designer to Saks.

I love pairing black and white. Here’s another recent outfit.

Style Diary: New Necklaces

Sometimes it’s the accessories that make the outfit.  And for those of us who want to update our look without breaking the bank, accessories are the way to go.  I recently bought a statement necklace at Forever 21 that I last wrote about and here I’ll share my other new necklace purchases.

I found this great fringe necklace at Bloomingdales during the friends and family sale.  I fell in love with it because it was the perfect mixture of classic (the pearls) and cool (the edgy chains).  It retailed for $86 but somehow I nearly stole it for $16 after finding it in the clearance bin.  Here, I’m pairing the necklace with fall’s trends.  I’ve got a faux LEATHER jacket (Forever 21), LACE vintage sheath dress, and MILITARY inspired tote bag (Aldo).  The boots are suede with a knit trim detail from Aquatalia ( I think I purchased it at off 5th?) The bracelet is from Express.

My 2nd Forever 21 jewelry pickup was this pretty piece also worn in this work wear post.

In the above pic, I’m wearing a Forever 21 jacket (which often gets mistaken for Chanel, hilarious I know), a striped tank tee from Target and navy skinny jeans from Forever 21.  The outfit costed a mere $45.  The Celine boots were free from my stylist friend at Bloomies and the Fendi tote, well, that wasn’t $45.  The ring was from off 5th, the headband -can’t remember and the necklace was Forever 21.  See, you don’t have to be 21 to wear Forever 21.
