habits

according to my family (eldest son and sister in particular) i wear too much black.  quite frankly, i really don't care, but in an attempt to break up the darkness, i have slowly started incorporating blacks not so fully committed sister, navy into the mix.  actually, navy and black might just be my favorite color combo ever.  i know, "technically speaking" the two are not supposed to pair well, but the same naysayers oppose white after labor day and i mean, who doesn't love an all white ensemble in the dead of winter??

happy sunday babes!!  i hope y'all had a relaxing weekend!!!  this look is actually what i wore for nye (i know, i'm a little late on the posting, my bad) but, even still, the pleated midi/maxi is one of my favorite trends right now!!!!  and i definitely don't think it has to be reserved for anything all that fancy.  i have worn mine with a graphic tee and sneakers, a button up and a bomber, or, fully layered and chic like today's little ensemble!!

literally, we are moments from FRIDAY!!!!!  we are headed to the beach for the weekend and i could not be more excited which is why i couldn't sleep and decided to get a head start on tomorrow's post.  if you want in on the fun, be sure to follow my snap for all the shenanigans! (username: misstarabelle)  and if you're already following me on snap, you got a lil sneak at this look last week during Social Media Day!!  i know, i know, who knew that was a thing, right??  i went to this conference-ish type thing that was basically a bunch of businesses and influencers and there was food and socializing and i guess exactly what you would assume would happen on a day dedicated to social media.  i hosted an event later that night, so i wanted to be more comfortable/casual but still chic, which in my mind just means, wear heels.  truly any outfit can instantly become a winner with a great pair of strappy stilettos, and red will forever be a favorite of mine!  i linked all the items below, including the focal point of this entire ensemble, dunt da da dah!!  my new baby, the Henri Bendel biggest most beautiful black bucket bag that i ever did see!!  this bag, omg, i don't even know where to begin.

ok, i know y'all know i love me some layers (especially a la the nineties) so today's look is all about that millennial meets clueless meets girl on a budget spring style.
