Happy Wednesday! Recently had an epiphany and realized I have lost my no nonsense, fearless approach to style. It's easy to get into a style rut and forget that once upon a time you gravitated towards edgy style choices. In my early 20's I probably made a lot of fashion mistakes that wasn't considered fashion forward. But fashion has never dictated my style choices and I love the fact I didn't play it safe and at the very least my looks were exciting. In the recent years I have noticed my go-to outfits are basic as hell. Evolving into a signature style is a necessity but somewhere along the way I lost my edge. I have welcomed the process of finding a balance between the archived spicy Eureka and the present day Eureka with open arms!
This look will work for anyone no matter the age or size and the fun part is all about accessories to spice up a not so basic outfit. When I first saw this gorgeous blazer in the Banana Republic I grabbed it and immediately my mind knew exactly how I wanted to christen this new treasure. It screams classic with a dash of unexpected chicness. The foundation of the look is my winter go-to's Free People faux leather pants and Brian Atwood booties. Adding a embroidered clutch and the hottest shades right now is the perfect pairing. Lastly, a dash of bright colored purple hair and my new favorite red lipstick Shanghai Scarlet by L'oreal effortlessly completed this OOTD!
