Suits + Sustainability

Jacket + shorts | thrifted. Bag | Etsy. Shoes. Headband. Sunnies.

It’s pretty safe to say I’ve been on a major thrifting kick as of late. Over the past few months, I’ve made it a point to educate myself more on sustainability, recycling and simply consuming less when it comes to all things fashion. I’m making a conscious effort to prioritize my wardrobe wants vs. needs and to only invest -at least for now- in pieces I believe will elevate my style and stand the test of time.

But on to the suit!

I’m REALLY into neutrals and recently thrifted both the blazer and shorts separately from the men’s section. I believe the shorts were $5 and the blazer was $7. I had both pieces dry cleaned and the shorts let out at the bottom as I’m loving the look of longer hems. I topped the look with my new favorite Lele Sadoughi headband, my go-to white mules and these #oldceline sunnies I recently purchased that I’ll be wearing forever-and-ever.

Be on the lookout as I plan to share some of my favorite thrift and consignment finds over on my YouTube channel. Xx -C.

30 + THANKFUL

I’ve known all throughout my 20’s that my 30’s would be my glow-up years. A lot more financially stable, though nowhere near the finish line, pleased with the trajectory of my career and most importantly, more loving, caring and accepting of the woman God has created me to be. I’m thankful for everything my 20’s has taught me, even the ugly-cry moments and am truly looking forward to what God has in store for the next chapter of my life. Thankful to see 30 is an understatement.

It's Been A While

So, where do I begin? Simply said, ya girl hasn’t been inspired. I’d been feeling pretty lackluster about blogging -and YouTubing- since the end of last year and decided to take a few steps back to ask myself what I wanted to do with my blog and direction I wanted it to go.

Ya’ll know I’ve been blogging since my college days and though I’m super proud of the platform I’ve created, I’ve questioned if blogging was something I wanted to continue. And though I’m not a full-time blogger, having this platform still requires alot of time, money and energy that I often didn’t care to give.

However, at the end of the day, this blog is my baby. It’s a space I created before blogging became a thing and is something I will continue to maintain until further notice. Now I can’t say how often I’ll be creating content, but just know, this platform will always be here for both your inspiration and mines.

Thanks for hanging in here. Xx -C

Oh, and this top is cute right? Snag it before it sells out. AGAIN.

Golden Goose SZN

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

I’ve been a long time fan of Golden Goose sneakers for quite some time. With their pre-distressed exterior and signature star logo, I was happy to have scored a pair last season for 60% off from the Net-A-Porter winter sale. They broke in comfortably and immediately became my everyday sneaker that I’ve worn since with dresses, skirts and straight-leg denim.

Above are a few of my favorite styles that are currently on sale and still available but if you don’t act quickly, they might not be! xX -C.
