FAUX LEATHER SKIRT/ BOOTS/ SWEATSHIRT SIMILAR HERE

Sweatshirt Outfit

This is my first style trying out a Faux leather skirt. The skirt is only $17 dollars, and the material is thin, to be honest, but I do love it because it still gives good coverage. I mean you can’t beat the price of it!

So this is the first style I created for a Fall Casual look. I just added this old sweatshirt I bought from Stradivarius when we were in Italy last time and just added those booties. You can also wear this for Work and also as a Thanksgiving outfit since we are just a week away.

If you are planning on wearing this outfit to work or for a business casual event, I recommend choosing a solid color sweater with a beautiful sweetheart neckline.

This second look is more of a date night style for me. Loving the blouse and its sleeves and it just looks perfect for a lovely evening wine and dine with your loved one. Puff sleeves are great for adding a pop of texture to an otherwise subtle outfit. They also work with the tightness of the skirt to create a much more balanced look.

Just added a chic suede pumps to add more class to it. Along with my versatile gold jewellery and neutral handbag. I love this look because because it is very dynamic. Just change the blouse and it’s a completely different look.

Of course, you can not forget the pumps and jewellery either. Boss babe material for the win.

When you are styling this look, don’t be afraid to play with the print of your pumps. Here I styled this outfit with giraffe print heels and I love it. Also consider leopard and plaid to further spice up your look.

How to style a faux leather skirt:

Find the right faux leather skirt for you.

There are many different brands, styles, lengths, and qualities of faux leather skirts out there. Luckily, you do not need the most expensive to create a great look.

Before you purchase a new faux leather skirt, consider what you like in a good skirt. Things to consider include length, thickness, type of leather, whether or not it has a zipper or if it’s pull-on, and the shine.

Pick the right color.

Black, white, and tan faux leather skirts are very easy to style because they are neutral. I love my black leather skirt. You can create a full neutral look or you can create a neutral base with your skirt and add pop of color. You can add a pop of color with your blouse, pumps, jewellery or handbags.

Or, you can also choose a colored faux leather skirt. If you do, it will breathe life into your wardrobe and could quickly become a favorite staple item. Just make sure you have plenty of other clothes to match.

Tuck in your shirt.

Because faux leather skirts are similar to pencil skirts and usually tighter and slimming, you will want to tuck in your shirt to ensure your outfit remains balanced. Otherwise, you may look too baggy on top.

Wear leggings / tights if needed.

If you want to rock your faux leather skirt on a colder day, just wear tights or leggings. It will not throw off the look of your skirt and it will keep you much warmer. Add some cold weather accessories and a nice topcoat and your look is complete.

Mix up the textures.

To avoid wearing several different shades of leather (like with leather knee high boots) and to keep your look balanced and eye-catching remember to mix up your textures. Since you already have a leather skirt, opt for other textures to complete the look. Some examples include suede pumps, a tweed blazer, or a cashmere sweater.

No matter your body style, you can wear a leather skirt. Just remember to keep your outfit balanced by following my tips.

CLOTHING RACK/ HANGERS

How To Let Go Of Old Clothes

It’s a new season meaning it is Spring cleaning time! But how to let go of old clothes? There are several reasons why we need to let go of them.  Here are some of the why?

Decluttering

In just a year’s time, we can accumulate a lot of things in our closet, especially if you live in a 4 season area where you have to change the type of clothing 4 times a year. This is the time to declutter and make space for new ones. You deserve to have space in your closet to store your high-end items and keep them in good condition, and stay organized throughout the year.

If  they don’t fit anymore

Easy for me to say, I am also into the notion that if they don’t fit anymore I will have to keep them because I know I will get back to my old size. But how do you get to enjoy the now if you keep on holding on the old ones that don’t fit? If you hold onto clothes that don’t fit, they are just taking up useful space. If you lose weight or gain weight, it’s ok. Just adapt your wardrobe by first getting rid of the pieces of clothing that no longer fit. Then, invest in new high-quality longer wear pieces.

They don’t suit your current style

Going through my closet, I realized that my style is evolving, the outfits I used to wear then don’t suit me anymore and I have to let them go. If it is not sentimental clothing, I am learning to let go and allow my style to take a new course.

There are also a lot of reasons why people find it hard to let go of things. But let me tell you about the benefits of letting go of old clothes and how it can make you feel like a new person, how you’ll end up with a cleaner and tidier closet.

How To Get Rid of Old Clothes

Here are the tips to get started:

1. Take everything out and identify wardrobe staples.

Let go of the items you no longer need. If there is something you immediately know that you only wore once and never want to wear it again, or that you never ever wear anymore, go ahead and let it go.

But, make sure to not let go of those staples like a white button-up shirt, white T-shirt, tank top, denim jacket, trench coat, denim jeans, ballet flats, blazer, classic pumps, and classic handbags. Basically all the classics that you can wear over time. In the next posts, I can discuss more about making a capsule wardrobe.

2. Stop making piles of clothes, you will probably realize that some of your items still even have a tag on them.

Leaving piles of them in your closet will surely keep a messy mind. It always gets me that way. That is also one reason I always try to reorganize my closet so I can see which one I need to donate, sell and give away to some of my family and friends that I know might like them. Organize the clothes in your closet. Trust me, it will feel great.

3. If they don’t fit anymore, that is also about time to let go of them!

This honestly not the case for me as I maintain my weight pretty well. This goes for my kids’ clothes though as they grow up so fast. For them specially for my toddler. Most of the time they only wear clothes a few times and they outgrow it. I usually put them aside and give it to some friends or co-workers who just had a baby. This prevents clothes cluttering up my children’s closets as well.

4. Visualizing the end result

Just by thinking how your closet will look and being more organized, believe me, it will start to also clear your mind and decrease stress in your environment. Also think about what you’d like the end result of your wardrobe to be. What style are you going for? What is your vibe? This will help you better organize every single piece of your wardrobe.

5. Feeling good about donating?

There is no need to feel guilty about cleaning out your closet and getting organized. You are helping the environment, and helping other people in need too. P

lus when going through all your clothes, you will realize all the clothes you actually have. Maybe even ones you forgot about. And now that you know what you actually in your wardrobe, you can stop wasting money on items you already have. Just remember only keep the basics and the items you wear.

6. You can make extra money by selling some of the gently used items on apps like eBay or Poshmark.

Don’t let anyone tell you that selling clothes online doesn’t work. I have done this many times, you can also follow my poshmark to see what I sell there. That will also give you extra bucks to buy new items. YAY!

I hope I was able to give you all the good reasons as to how to clean your closet and let go of old clothes.

Simply,

Christianne

MY DRESS/ DESK/ CHAIR

My Home Office Refresh

I have been spending a lot of time creating content in my office. So I gave my home office a refresh by updating my desk and chair. I have been literally sitting down and writing a bunch of content ideas for the blog. Having my previous desk was not motivating me as it is like an old computer table. Check my previous desk on this post. Since we have been updated our living room and dining room. I decided it is also about time to switch up my desk and chair and make it look more of like a Simplychristianne type of furniture.

Amazon office desk and chair

The desk and the chair was easy to assemble, it took my husband about an hour to finish the desk and about less than an hour for the chair doing it with the kids. lol! I got both the desk and chair from Amazon and they came pretty fast since they were prime. And also they are tax-deductible since you are using them for your business.

My Home Office Refresh

I decided to get the white desk with gold metals since it works well with the whole look of my office with white shelves.

I also have a pink bench next to my Bag shelf so I made my desk chair pink as well. Now the whole office is coordinated I might just ave to change the artificial plant here into an olive tree. I have been eyeing on them so much on Amazon.

home office design

Now looking at my office gives me all the creative juice to create a lot of good content as I now love what is around me. It gives me a good vibe and it just flows if you notice all my reels on my instagram lately. I have been doing them here in the office because it is too cold outside.

I hope I was able to inspire you! Thank you for reading.

Last Minute DIY Couple Halloween Costume

Last Minute DIY Couple Halloween Costume

If you are looking for a last minute DIY Couple Halloween Costume, our Vampire looks we made mostly out of our own items in our closet. These are the only items that we really added to the look to make it look legit.

I was not planning to make it to extravagant having a family of 5 to make costumes with is already breaking the bank for just one day event. So mom and dad here tried to save some buck by creating something we already own, I know I have a black dress and he got the black pants and white button down shirt so we are all set. The add ons that we bought were the cape, medallion plus the fangs to complete the look which was also cheap. But if you are in a rush for this weekends event, I added this vampire costume and these realistic fangs with one day delivery.

This look is very easy to create as you can see and the make up is very simple. I am not a make up artist I just watched some vampire make up tutorial on YouTube to give me an idea on how to make our looks more realistic.
