orlando florida fashion blog styles h&m leather jacket with metallic loafers for a casual winter outfit
Happy Monday babes! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Sorry I have been lacking in color lately, I have just recently been in a black and white mood! Maybe it is the cold weather that’s putting me in a colorless mood, but get ready to be seeing a lot of black and white this week! ;) I have been all about wrap shirts lately and this striped one from Forever 21 is basically perfect! I love that you can layer it, dress it up, dress it down, and pair it with just about anything! Today, I paired it with a classic leather jacket. For the statement part of this look, I threw on these fabulous metallic loafers! I mean, it doesn’t get much better! And the fact that I feel like I am channeling my inner MJ in these bad boys makes it that much better! I kept the accessories light to really make the shoes pop, by just throwing on some silver stacked rings. Speaking of black and white! Who wants to win a classicly, gorgeous white sweater?! I have teamed up with one of my favorite shops, Lookbook Store, to giveaway their must have white sweater! Perfect for these chilly Winter days! All you have to do is fill out the rafflecopter below! Also, it is open internationally so everyone can enter! Good luck and  I hope everyone has a fabulous start to their week! <3

Spring Showers

So although Spring brings beautiful weather here in Florida, it also brings many rainy days. Yesterday it rained from when I woke up to when I went to sleep, no joke. The best way of getting through a rainy day is by looking super cute, even in the rain! This Charles River Apparel red rain coat helps to do just that! I love that it has more of a trench feel with the belted waist and the color is so perfect. I paired it with a classic clear umbrella, because no one wants their umbrella to clash with their outfit! :) For my look, I went with a black and white color palette so my rain coat had a nice pop. I paired a classic polka dotted top with a cute striped skirt (and tiny polka dots if you look close). I accessorized with a black and gold statement necklace and some neutral loafers. Make sure you are following me on instagram, @Upbeatsoles, because I may be giving away a Charles River rain coat tomorrow! ;) <3

Plaid & Chambray

Brrrrrrrr….. So Florida finally decides that it wants to get cold!! Well, cold for us! :) So of course I couldn’t wait to bring out my fabulous blanket scarf from Hollister that I got for Christmas! It is so so cozy and soft and I absolutely LOVE the bright colors weaved into the classic red! I wanted to keep the rest of the outfit simple so I paired the scarf with a light chambray blouse and a dark skinny jean. For the shoes, I found these amazing Dolce Vita loafers at Marshalls last year and have been wearing them non stop this winter! They seriously complement any outfit and the tassels are just too cute! To give this outfit a little something extra, I finished it with a red lip to compliment the scarf. <3

Mixing Trends

Happy Friday Eve! Today I am going a little trend crazy! I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do a little mixing. I paired a military jacket with a red and black, plaid top, which oddly I kind of love how the colors complement each other. Then I took a trend I have been seeing a lot of on Pinterest and belted my jacket around the waist. This definitely turned the top and jacket from grunge to classy instantly, oh and the peeking through statement necklace didn’t hurt either. Then to mix this look up even more I did some pattern mixing by pairing my plaid shirt with a studded, leopard loafer. Something about plaid and leopard just makes me smile! Although this look is a little different and it may look like trends threw up on me (bad visual?) I am kind of digging it! So next time your in your closet take a little risk and do some mixing, ya never know what master piece you may create! <3

Winter Pastels

Happy Hump day! Today I am teaming up with the gorgeous Jen of Life Unrefined for a coast to coast collab. Jen and I met a few weeks ago via a Bloggers’ link-up. She is so incredibly sweet, giving me so much advice since I am new to the blogging world and I knew it would be so much fun to do a collab with her! We are calling it Coast to Coast, since she’s from California and I am from Florida. Pastels have been one of my favorite winter trends that I could not wait to try. Jen has styled more of a work appropriate look, while I kept things a little more casual. Be sure to check out Jen’s blog for more pictures and product links! Oh and if your not following her you totally should be! She is the cutest little 5’2″ fashionista you have ever seen! For my look, I brought out my cozy, Gap, cowl neck sweater that I bought last year, which is probably the most comfortable sweater ever! To stick with the pastel trend I paired it with my Zara mint jeans and my favorite Marshalls find, my metallic leather jacket. Keeping this look super casual and fun I topped it off with my silver sequin loafers! <3
