Simple with Dark and Neutral Tones: OOTD

Hola! I have not posted an outfit or anything for my blog since August purely because my schedule is absolutely insane and it honestly is very difficult to fit in blogging when I wake up to practice at 7:45 am everyday followed by lift with my team, classes, babysitting, and somehow try to maintain a social life. I think that is why I have reverted to drinking wine every night to help keep myself mentally insane, call me basic all you want, but wine is truly a girl's savior in life. Anyways, I am going to try to get back in the swing of things, I unfortunately won't be able to post as frequently as I want to but will try my best. I am going to post a picture of my outfit I wore yesterday and last weekend I went into the city and had the most delectable and mouth watering lunch with my friend at a quaint little restaurant named Jack Wife's Freda, I highly recommend it, followed by a day of shopping and purchasing overpriced (but mostly delicious) macaroons at Laduree Bakery in Soho! It was such a great day and yes,since I am a huge foodie, I feel the need to post a picture of what I consumed which I will share with you as well! As for my outfit- the important part of this blog haha- it was surprisingly not as cold as it was this past weekend which reached -3 degrees but the windchill made it feel -17, while my parents were nice and comfortable in Florida wearing shorts and flip flops in seventy five degree weather- yes mom and dad, I envy you. Since it was unexpectedly not below the point of freezing, but still cold, I decided to wear black skinny jeans and a black belt, both from Target that I purchased ages ago but still fit and feel great. I threw on a light, purple and white water colored print top from Anthropologie, I rolled up the sleeves and tucked in the front to make my look seem more effortless and relaxed. I never get the opportunity to wear this top and I really love it because it's so versatile and comfortable. Not to mention, it cost me a good amount (curse you Anthro), so I like to not waste a more pricey buy. Next, I wore a white, lace Free People bralette underneath that was 60% off from LF which I bought in Soho when they were having one of their insane sales. I then decided to keep the neutral tone theme by wearing my gray studded combat boots from Maje that I purchased while in Paris. As for accessories, since the top was printed, I kept everything relatively simple and in trend with the colors of the outfit. I wore a silver necklace which had a gray rock pendant from Garage and with the bracelets, I do not recall where I got the brown one, but the blue and multicolored bracelets are Chavez for Charity bracelets so when I purchase them, a portion goes towards a specific charity. The blue one supports Water,org whose mission is to provide safe, clean water for everyone in the world; the multi-colored bracelet supports the Matthew Shepard Foundation which was founded by his parents in memory of their son who was murdered in an anti-gay hate crime in October of 1998. This charity is trying to implement advocacy programs to help better understand and support the gay community which I think are both great charities to support. Lastly, I wore my four rings I usually wear everyday, the first one is from Free People, the next two are from Forever 21, and the last is Michael Kors. I hope you draw some inspiration for these last few weeks of winter to incorporate into your closet! Now as for my scrumptious brunch- I decided to go with the Mediterranean Breakfast which had 2 eggs- I got mine over easy- chopped cucumber salad, labne which is like a Greek yogurt, avocado, and instead of pita, I asked for multi-grain bread. There was some weird green sauce on the side which was questionable but as soon as I ate it, I never went back, it was addicting, and I got all of that for $13! I also got their cantaloupe mimosa which is out of this world, so freaking good! My friend ate their Madame Freda, which was a pressed sandwich with duck prosciutto, cheddar bechamel, gruyere, and a sunny side up egg baked into the bread. It looked amazing as well, and she drank their Bloody Mary. I high recommend this restaurant and will be going very soon in the near future! I hope you all enjoyed my post and have a lovely day. :)
