Everyday Style and Goal Setting: #OOTD OR #WIW

Recently, I have shared several Instagram photos wearing a blanket scarf and coordinating accessories.  Primarily because it’s very cold and blanket scarfs are a quick option to add a touch of chic to any outfit.

They’re inexpensive and layer over sweaters, button-down shirts, and cute dresses.  I’ve also struggled with keeping my head warm and will quickly grab a leather hat.

Aside from the brisk weather we are embarking upon the New Year.  This is the perfect time to re-evaluate goals, aspirations, and relationships whether it’s family or friends.

I have started to map out the direction of my personal and professional objectives. A few of my goals are volunteering and implementing new elements to my business.

I like to take goal setting a step forward by purchasing organizational tools that will keep me on track.  What are your goals for the upcoming year?  How do you re-evaluate and make changes?

Everyday Style and Lookbook Inspiration: #OOTD or #WIW

Recently, I have shared some of my personal looks on social media or as it’s said on Instagram #OOTD (outfit of the day) or #WIW (what I’m wearing) because I want to provide inspiration in terms of everyday style.

It’s always fun to play dress-up but what about the day-to-day hustle of getting dressed?  As women, we wear so many hats and it’s often difficult to find something that’s appropriate to wear.  My job on this blog (and through consulting) is to provide style solutions and I’m going to do just that!

You can also shop my looks via Amazon or additional retail affiliate programs.  I decided to set up those links because I receive inbox messages asking where did I find certain clothing items.  I may not share the exact piece but you will find something similar if it’s available.

So here we go on this new journey!  Send me a message at kim@stylelifefashion.com or let me know if you need style advice.

Do I have the perfect shape?  No, I’m actually very short.  Do I have an hourglass figure?  No, I’m actually pear-shaped.  Do I wear a size 0?  No, I’m actually petite and curvy at the same time.  We have more in common than you think but the difference is that I dress according to my body-type!

Savers Thrift Store Sneak Peak Shopping Event

Savers Thrift Store  opened in Owings Mills on Thursday, June 11, 2015.  The store invited me to a sneak peek event on Tuesday, June 9 , 2015 and provided a gift certificate to jump-start my shopping spree.

The challenge was to see how far I could stretch the gift certificate at a thrift store.  I love thrifting and finding quality items for a good price, so course I was up for the challenge!  The store was decorated in true event style with balloons and associates helping shoppers.

Savers was also well-organized and provided a great shopping experience.  I found several items to enhance my summer wardrobe.

I like to mix low – end and high-end merchandise to create a unique style.  For example, I would pair my louboutines with a lace skirt found at a local consignment shop.  Fashion’s about self-expression and not the amount of money your spending.
