I am in DIRE need of a camel/ taupe colored hat. I have my eye on one from Lack Of Color but I'm still hesitant to spend $100+ on an oversized hat... It's just so beautiful :'(

I wanted to channel my inner California Spring with this look, and with neutral warm toned colors I did exactly that! I do believe structure is what is important right now, however the oversized silhouette never leaves my side. I love baggy jeans, but my trick to making them more presentable is having them in white. White simplifies a look and disguises the rips and tears to be more clean and sleek, even though I took a pair of scissors to them! Like mentioned yesterday, I have a whole new plethora of thrifted tops and I am in love with this one. The color was right up my alley and I couldn't resist it.

I hope you all are doing well! I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things, but for now, stay well dressed and I will be back tomorrow!

Not always should you require yourself to dress outstandingly unique, sometimes you have to trace back to the roots of fashion and use clean silhouettes to orchestrate a powerful statement outfit. Today was testing that theory out. 

I've always beat myself up whenever I settled for something as simple as a blouse and jeans, but I've finally come to terms with the idea that, hey, sometimes the most simplistic outfit can really speak the most! I adopted this whimsical sketchy line blouse from the thrift store and I was so ecstatic to style it that I forgot about all of the other cool new stuff I recently picked up. I was in a serious rut when it came to shirts, I had about 7 shirts, that of which 4 were just basics, so I was pretty limited. This recent shirt-freedom has me so much more enthusiastic to start my days, believe it or not! For bottoms I wore my *slightly* too big denim skinnies from Asos. I cut these massive holes in the knees just to exaggerate and play up the trend of ripped knee-d jeans. I was so annoyed that I didn't have a classic pair of silver hoops to accompany this look, so I did purchase a pair from eBay soon after shooting this look. Next time those hoops will be featured in a simple look like this!

Stay well dressed!

It's 12:30 AM and I am binge watching Orange Is the New Black. Why did no one EVER tell me how amazing this show is? Netflix is taking over my life someone help.

I went for the plaid green blazer because I hadn't worn it in a little bit and I thought, why the hell not bring it back into action? The structure of the coat as well as the oversized fit is totally up my alley nowadays. I cannot seem to pair this blazer without an all black ensemble so of course I went for a pop of color with my red lips Rocky Horror Picture Show tee. I took scissors and a optimistic attitude to this once plain tee and made it a muscle crop top, and I am in love. I got this piece in Oregon in some consignment/record shop with no idea what Rocky Horror was (What a poser), honestly the graphic just drew me in! Today I decided to break in my new UNIF inspired boots from eBay. I have to hand it to this seller, the quality is great. Not cheap feeling, but man does it smell cheap. If you've ever ordered shoes from eBay I'm almost positive you are familiar with the over whelming waft of cheapness that raids your nostrils when you open the shoe box for the first time! They were only about $25 though so I got to hand it to the seller, not too shabby! Now I know you are so tired of seeing the Missguided crystal necklace but I have some new jewelry in the works so don't worry, this necklace will soon be put to rest! I just can't get enough of the statement piece aspect as well as the elegance is graces any outfit with. It's truly a must have. 

I hope you all are staying positive! I have been feeling very down lately for the past few days but productivity has kept me sane, and of course the angst to see Piper and Alex hook up is contributing to the sanity, lol. Stay well dressed and I will be back tomorrow with an outfit!

It's always hard coming up with an outfit on the spot, which is what fate decided for me to do today. I had just gotten out of the shower when my mom yelled from the kitchen "SABRINA! NOW IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO TAKE OUTFIT PICTURES!" So naturally I panicked and picked out an all black ensemble.

I honestly hate how tight this shirt is, I bought it back when I weighed 130 pounds and I am way far away from that number on the scale. However, I really like the cut of the top, the slight turtleneck and the shape it gives my stomach. I got it from American Apparel on my 17th birthday and for some reason it has made it through years of closet purging! To go along with the stripes (which are practically crying out "BEETLE JUICE! BEETLE JUICE! BEETLE JUICE!") I went for my faux leather jacket. I got this jacket from Forever 21+, and I usually don't shop in the plus size section, but it was an exception because I wanted it to be slightly oversized so I could wear sweaters underneath it. I have yet to layer a sweater underneath... I was looking high and low for my American Apparel black disco pants but those have seemed to vanish off of the face of the Earth which causes me a lot of stress on a semi regular basis. The next best thing I had was a skater skirt from Cotton On I snagged for $5 years ago. I guess this outfit was revival of the 2012 Sabrinapugs wardrobe. Shoes were a little bit different today, I grabbed my UNIF Hella Jellies for some extreme height because I know I need it.

Stay well dressed everyone!!!

I knew that today was Valentines Day, but why be conventional and dress in variations of red or pink? Instead take the opportunity from the holiday to be an enhanced version of yourself. That's what I did with today's outfit.

I got these Free run inspired sneakers from Payless because I did use to work there and I knew they carried shoes similar to Nike, but I didn't want to pay the price of Nike just for a few times wear. I decided to build my outfit around these casual sneakers because I had been craving the sporty look for the past few days. I squeezed into some basic denim jeans from American Eagle for simplicity and also to add some roughness to the outfit. I had never experimented with denim on denim so I took today as an opportunity to do so. The product? I think it turned out just fine! To keep up with the simplicity of the outfit I put on my favorite muscle tee from Urban Outfitters. This tee is actually a graphic tank that I reversed and wore as a grey top just because I wasn't feeling the full on graphic/denim look. To make the outfit less boring I layered a couple Forever 21 necklaces, one being an intricate design and also a simplistic triangle necklace. 

I hope everyone has a nice Valentine's Day. I intend to keep it simple and just order a heart shaped pizza and watch chick flicks with my Mom. To those wondering, yes I am single so I am right there with all you ladies and gents who are relationship-less!

Stay well dressed and I will be back tomorrow with another post!

Hi everyone! 

Today I put together a classy, more elegant outfit. I started off with my thrifted royal blue skirt. I hadn't worn it in over a month and I felt that it was time to revive it from the depths of my closet. I had no idea what to wear on top until I saw my Brandy Melville turtleneck peeking from the corner of my eye. I grabbed it, despite being see through, and headed out the door! I feel like these conservative outfits allow free reign for the more risqué pieces to show through. Though my bra is from Walmart, I still feel like it is cute enough to slightly display with my outfit. For jewelry I added the Missguided necklace because this piece scream elegant, if it were to have vocal cords and say anything. For shoes, I kept it simple and easy to walk in with my H&M booties. I love these because they are so functional but also have some sort of heel to make me feel powerful.

Now, on to the deeper meaning behind this post...

I'm not going to pretend that I am in love with my body. It is factual that I resent my body more than I praise it. But today was different. I put on this outfit the night before and thought "Eh, good enough." But something amazing, no, magical came over me. I put on my outfit today and saw a whole new person. I saw the beauty within myself. Not the edges that outlined my body that made me a lumpy and "imperfect", but the good I had in my heart. It radiated like never before and I suddenly felt at peace with myself. 

After so many months of faking the "I look beautiful" statement I actually felt it deep within myself. It was so powerful that I will NEVER go back to the life I lead before. And that is really what I want to do with my blog, but through fashion. 

Fashion means so much more to me that "looking good". Fashion is my emotion. Fashion is my muse. Fashion is what inspires me to get up in the morning and pursue a productive day. And this is something no one can ever take away from me.  

Stay well dressed everyone, I will be back tomorrow with another post!
