The Paper Pod

See it & Steal it

I own a lot of black clothing. A well cared for black garment can last many years, making it a timeless piece. Black pairs well with bold colors, it’s slimming and always creates a sophisticated look.

When I saw this outfit on Pinterest, I knew I’d be duplicating it. I don’t know about you but sometimes looking for inspiration on my fashion board makes me feel like I need to go shopping. I was stoked that I could effortless pull off a similar outfit with items I already own!  Black and white is always a winning combination.

Knit Layers

Perhaps it’s my inner 80’s child calling but when I saw leg warmers on clearance earlier this week I knew I needed to buy them.

I’m not really sure how you wear leg warmers. I really should have paid attention to the packaging before I took the tags off. Then it dawned me that I don’t even know what you wear leg warmers with.. only visions of Flashdance came to mind.

I decided to wear mine with a dress, leggings and heels. Only to realize 6 hours layers, I’m wearing a whole lot of sweater material.

Happy Friday!

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but I’ve been trying to add more fashion posts up in hurrr. I think I’m more into buying collecting clothes then fashion itself but one things for sure I love piecing together outfits.  

Since most runway looks make me nervous..

Like what’s going on here? I’m totally clueless.

…Thank goodness there are awesome fashion bloggers out there that make a bit more sense to me. If you haven’t visited Kendi Everyday, you really should. She’s adorable, even when she’s sick- which is where I pulled inspiration for this outfit.
