WHAT {i} WORE no.4

i said it before and i'll say it again (!!!)... i LOVE mixing n' matching Masculine & Feminine pieces together to make one killer cool look. i do! i love it! i think it makes life worth living! ok ok, well let's not take it too far. but seriously, when done right i think there is something {slightly} sexy about a gal that doesn't show all her goodies and instead sports a crew neck tee while leaving a little more to imagination! your boy-toy may not agree with me, but OH WELL! in a perfect wold, i would wear a fitted white crew neck boyfriend tee with at least 2-3 chunky necklaces layered on top of one another, EVERYDAY! but that is neither here nor there...  yesterday i threw on my favorite cigarette skinnies, my favorite gold belt, a brightly striped sweater, and my boy boating shoes! literally, they are boy shoes... and i LOVE them! 

 

*little style tip: i was shopping with a client this past week and we wanted to get her into a pair skinny-jeans (aka. shinnies)... but she always felt that skinnier jeans made her look short. SO, i folded about 4" of fabric up (at the ankle of her jean) & made them into an instant cigarette fit!! a cigarette fit is when your pants fit slim & sit right above your ankle. AND poof (!) she instantly looked taller & felt fabulous in her first pair of skinnies! Success.
