A Glimpse of Glam

Hey everyone!

When the weather gets cold and mucky out, all you want to do is to wrap yourself up in a cozy, fluffy blanket like a sushi roll with a big, steaming cup of hot cocoa in your hands. The last thing you want to do is figure out your outfit. Add on to that the pressure of midterms, and bam! Your desire to dress chic goes down the toilet, along with your hopes of having a How To Get Away With Murder marathon.

Here, I present to you what I like to call my "Got too much goin on but still want to look nice" outfit. It consists of five items, all of which I am sure most of you already have. The colors are of a neutral palette, so worry not about perfectly matching colors and patterns. When ya ain't got time, ya ain't got the time. Just don't worry about it.

I gravitated towards a pair of black leggings because black leggings are bae in times like these. I also reached for a big, heather gray circle shirt. This shirt is loose, baggy yet sits on my frame well because of the circular shape. It's like a circle skirt, but for your torso. I then added a dark blue scarf because it is chilly outside. Yes, okay it does have some pattern to it. But the pattern is so subtle, you can't really go wrong with it. Scarves are your friend when you are having a lazy day. Then I layered a slate gray leather jacket on top. Like I mentioned before, leather jackets give the necessary oomph to an outfit without the added effort. To pull it all together, I wore my (yes you guessed it) trusty and comfy everyday black combat boots.

Couldn't resist taking a quick selfie! Haha

It's honestly as easy as that. Super simple, super comfy, yet super chic. You look put together, like you tried, when in fact you really didn't.

We just powered through September and October! We can make it to the holiday season, we can. A few short weeks and those cloudy gray skies wouldn't be as depressing any longer. Can't you hear that faint jolly sound of sleigh bells in the air? I can't, but I know they are fast approaching. 

What do you like to wear on dreary, cold autumn days? Lemme know in the comments below!

Hey everyone!

Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite go-to outfits. This is the perfect lazy day outfit because, ironically enough, it does not look lazy. In fact, you will look like you made an effort.

Whenever I'm just getting no inspiration, or have no idea what to wear, I usually would reach for a skirt. I always have a few no-fail outfits to fallback on whenever necessary. Skirt and jacket combos are definitely on the list.

Here, I chose to wear a plain black top with a black bodycon skirt over sheer black tights. Because it is all monochrome in black, it gives the illusion that you know what you're doing when in fact you are just too lazy to bother with patterns.

I added a cozy printed knit cardigan because it's cold in the fall, and the cardigan adds some pizzazz to the outfit. Printed cardigans are the epitome of fall for me. They are super easy to style, and are very comfortable to wear.

As it isn't warm enough with just the cardigan, I added a black leather jacket as well. This really ties it all together and makes you look like you put in effort. Honestly, one big secret I got for all you lazy people out there, just pulling on a nice leather jacket can make you look instantly put together. A good fitting leather jacket can really give that necessary oomph to an outfit.

I threw on my trusty everyday black boots because they are comfy and works with almost everything I own. Shoulder my black leather backpack and I'm ready for class!

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and thanks for reading!
