Personal Style | October Fall Style Recap

November 2, 2015 by Whitney 27 Comments

October has come and gone like that! While the weather hasn’t all the way caught up to the season of fall, fall style is in full swing here on WNJ. I was excited and ready to pull out my chunky sweaters, fall hats and leather leggings and style them here on the blog. Here are a few of my favorite looks from October!

Leopard Print // Fall Florals

Vest & T-Shirt //All Black

It’s no surprise that I stretched my wardrobe and wore a few items more than once last month. From my chunky sweater, to the leather leggings and certain accessories I was all about re-purposing certain items. I also plan to continue this throughout the fall and winter. Once the weather consistently cools down I plan to add boots and more layers to my outfits. Can’t wait!

Don’t be afraid to re-purpose certain wardrobe items this season! #wnjstyle

Personal Style | Casual & Quirky Thrifted Outfit

October 29, 2015 by Whitney 4 Comments

Lately I’ve been stretching my wardrobe and repeating certain outfit pieces. I decided to restyle this thrifted top, worn once this week already, for errands with hubby. We ran to the mall and grocery store the other day; of course I wanted to be comfy and cute. I reached for this top, a pair of my favorite jeans and piled on the colorful (thrifted) accessories. Yet another successful thrifted outfit, check!

Top: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue (Serena Williams) // Denim: JCP (Another Option) // Hat: Flea Market // Glasses & Necklace: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue

I thought the purse, hat and necklace was a bit much at first. After thinking about it I said to myself, why not? Having fun with accessories is what personal style is all about. So, I threw on ANOTHER accessory, my thrifted reading glasses, and bam. The outfit was complete!

It’s OK to have fun with style. Make your style personal and rock it! #wnjstyle

It may be a lot for some, but for me it works. It’s a quirky outfit that really speaks to my personal style. When hubs saw me walk out of the room he even said, “that outfit is so you,” LOL! He gets me, that’s all that matters anyway. 😉

Purse: Bakers (Old) // Flats: Steve Madden, Steve Madden Outlet

So tell me, what do you think about my thrifted outfit? When’s the last time you had fun with accessories and spiced up your personal style? Let me know!

Personal Style | Timeless All Black Outfit

October 27, 2015 by Whitney 8 Comments

Wearing an all black outfit is something I do at least 3 times a week. Yes, I love a pop of color here and there and I’m fond of many colors. But those all black outfits are just too easy to pass up. Whenever I wear one I feel ultra chic. All black outfits are without a doubt timeless and they’re great for just about any occasion. Having several black pieces in your closet is also a simple way to stretch your wardrobe and create several different outfit options.

Top: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue (Serena Williams) // Hat: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue // Pants: Sejour, Nordstrom (Casual Version) // Gold Hoops: Target (Another Affordable Option)

I decided to wear this all black outfit for date night with hubby. It was an easy go-to outfit, since we made plans to head out at the last minute. I decided to wear my fancy thrifted hat again because I was having yet another blah hair day. It happens, LOL!

All black outfits are timeless, chic and a wardrobe must have! #wnjstyle

One tip to remember when wearing all black is to accessorize. Have fun with it! This gives, what could easily be a boring black outfit, some personality. I opted for gold accents/accessories and nude heels this time. Simple and easy enough, right?

When wearing an all black outfit, don’t forget to accessorize! #wnjstyle

Personal Style | Tunic and Black Pants + a Bad Hair Day

October 26, 2015 by Whitney 21 Comments

Some days my hair just doesn’t want to cooperate. On those days I grab one of my caps, turbans or tams and keep it moving! That’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the past few days. I love wearing hats during the fall/winter months. I tend to get lazy sometimes with styling my hair, so they come in handy very often. This weekend while hubs and I saw a movie I reached for a comfy and cute outfit, and of course, the outfit included a hat. A tunic and black pants are the perfect go-to look for casual weekends.

Tunic: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue // Pants: Sejour, Nordstrom // Flats: Sam Edelman, Nordstrom (Another Option)

Because the weather hasn’t been brutally cold, I figured wearing these ankle length joggers would be OK. I can probably style them a few more times before the weather drops drastically. The tunic, a thrifted purchase, is actually heavier than it looks. The thick cotton material kept me warm in the theater and thankfully, I didn’t have to reach for a jacket or scarf.

Casual, comfy and cute weekend outfits are the best! #wnjstyle

I can’t talk about this outfit without mentioning the gorgeous scenery. I was taken aback at the beauty of the fallen leaves and trees. As hubby and I rode through the neighborhood, he insisted we stop and take a pics. I couldn’t argue that the scenery was indeed beautiful. Seeing the burnt orange and yellow leaves on the sidewalk literally made me smile and marvel. When seasons change you have to get out and enjoy, even if it’s for an outfit shoot. 😉

Gold Hoops: Taget // Clutch: Steve Madden, Marhsalls // Gold Cuff: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue

So tell me, what do you think about my casual weekend outfit? Are you a fan of the lovely fall weather too? Let me know!

Thanks for reading and until tomorrow, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

Personal Style | Chunky Sweaters + Leather Leggings

October 21, 2015 by Whitney 11 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m really into talking about transitional wardrobe pieces. I’m also all about chunky sweaters! With the temps dropping, it just seems like the natural wardrobe option. You may be tired of me talking about “transitional items” and such, but it is MY DUTY to share these outfit ideas with you. After all, we take personal style seriously around here, right? So here is another look at the same sweater I wore in yesterday’s outfit, styled a different way. This look is a bit more casual and chic, wouldn’t you agree?

Leggings: Style & Co., Lord & Taylor (Another Option ) // Sweater: Micheal Kors, Macy’s (Another Option) // Sunnies: Ivanka Trump, Nordstrom Rack // Lip Color: Revlon ColorBurst Matte, Elusive (Similar)

In this post I mentioned my hesitation about styling these faux leather leggings. However, chunky sweaters and leather leggings have become “my thing” as of late. These leggings have quickly become a fall wardrobe staple. Since I’m already a lover of leggings, it wasn’t hard to start rotating this pair.

Another fall wardrobe must have? Chunky sweaters and leggings. #wnjstyle

This outfit is perfect for a casual date night, shopping or even a night out with your girlfriends. It’s no-fuss, chic and comfy. Investing in a sweater like this is great because as you can see, it’s super easy to transition the piece for different occasions. Of course, you can add a pair of heels to give the outfit some sass, but if you’re like me stylish animal print flats do the trick.

Flats: Tesori, Nordstrom Rack // Clutch: Fly By Night Boutique

So tell me, what do you think of chunky sweaters and leather leggings? Would you try this combo? Let me know!

Thanks, as always, for stopping by. Until tomorrow, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

Personal Style | Styling Fall Florals

October 20, 2015 by Whitney 4 Comments

I love wearing florals all season so when thinking about fall fashion, I couldn’t wait to put together an outfit including fall florals! Today’s outfit is the perfect “work to after work event” outfit. That’s exactly where I plan to wear it this week; a networking event. Not only is the outfit comfortable, but it’s polished enough to wear in a room full of creative business women and men. The red lip is even OK because I the matte finish and deeper tone makes the red appropriate for a this event.

Sweater: Micheal Kors, Macy’s (Another Stylish Options) / Pants: Ralph Laruen, Lord & Taylor (Another Cute Option) // Flats: Micheal Kors, Nordstrom Rack

The pants, a purchase for our North Carolina road-trip this summer, were an no brainer for me. The cotton and stretch material makes them super comfortable and practical for everyday wear. I’ve been able to style these pants for several occasions. The pants are also perfect to wear during all 4 seasons.

Florals are a definite wardrobe must have this season. #wnjstyle

Big comfy sweaters are “my thing” when the temperatures drop, so adding this Micheal Kors cowl neck was a must. This sweater, a few years old, is so warm and still in style. It’s easily a garment that can be styled casually or for a bit more polished look, like this one.

Earrings: Unknown // Clutch: Steve Madden, Marshalls

So tell me, are you a fan of fall florals? What’s your go-to print this season? Let me know!

Thanks for stopping by. I can’t wait to show you how I styled this same sweater for a more casual look tomorrow! You know me; I’m all about transitional wardrobe items! Until tomorrow, be blessed and stay safe….XO!

Personal Style | Fall Casual Wear Must Haves + How to Wear Jeans and Graphic Tees

October 19, 2015 by Whitney 38 Comments

Happy Monday, friends! What an wonderful weekend I had. It was spent with family, 2 of my good girlfriends, DELICIOUS food and a little work. All in all, it was a fun-filed and productive weekend. If my weekends are stress-free and enjoyable, my Monday’s are usually a breeze. This feeling matches today’s casual outfit. You can’t get much more stress-free (style-wise) then wearing a pair of ripped jeans and a graphic tee.

Denim: Torrid (Another Option) // Graphic Tee: Blogalicious (Same) // Vest: TJ Maxx // Sunglasses: H&M

Back in September I attended the Blogalicious conference. I saw this tee for sale and knew I had to get it! After-all, I am a blogger and the hustle of a blogger, yea…that’s very real. I figured it was the perfect casual wear wardrobe addition. In order to create the simple casual wear outfits during the fall and winter months, you should have the following wardrobe must haves:

Dark Washed Denim (ripped or not)
Black (well-made) Leggings
Graphic Tee
Black Vest
Ballet or Pointy Toe Flats
Sliver of Gold Hoop Earrings
Sunglasses
Stylish Clutch or Backpack

These items are affordable and transitional closet staples. You can create several looks from the items above, during any season, but they’re great for fall and winter styling. If ripped denim isn’t your thing, no problem. Find a pair of dark wash straight leg, skinny, boot-cut or ankle length denim, like this option (skinny jeans) or this option (trouser style).

Jeans and graphic tee’s will never go out of style. #wnjstyle

Personal Style | I’m a Sucker for Oversized Sweaters

October 13, 2015 by Whitney 13 Comments

Yes, this outfit reminds me of Christmas too. LOL! When I put on the red sneakers and looked in the mirror, I had to laugh to myself. “Someone’s ready for the holiday’s” hubs said. Regardless of my Santa’s helper outfit, I’m more than happy to wear and style another one of fall’s fashion must haves – oversized sweaters. I’ve worn this thrifted sweater before and everytime I do I feel GREAT!

Sweater: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue // Leggings: Premise Studio, Marshall’s // Sneakers: Nike, DSW (Another Option)

I just love a big, comfy, roomy sweaters during the fall and winter months. Oversized sweaters are comfort blankets in a way. They’re great to wear if you want to conceal a little unwanted bulge and depending on the style, oversized sweaters can be worn for several casual occasions.

Big, comfy oversized sweaters are another fall fashion must have! #wnjstyle

Being casual and chic as become a huge part of my personal style aesthetic. I’m sure you’ve noticed this throughout my spring and summer outfits. Adding a pretty statement necklace and a bright lip color help make a casual outfit like this chic and stylish. Also, purchasing oversized sweaters with a bit of sparkle or embellishments adds a little something extra to what could have been a drab and boring garment.

Necklace: JCPenney (Another Option) // Studs: Nordstrom Rack

So tell me, will you be wearing oversized sweaters this season? Let me know!
