Skull & Bold

I must say, I got pretty lucky finding this sheer black top with skulls on it that perfectly matches the skull necklace I have! :D
Lovin' on the bold and bright colored blazers I've been seeing around! Also the black & gold accessories trend.

Tip: I have a shortish torso, I think wearing high waisted pants (at least enough to cover your bellybutton) gives a longer effect on the body--longer legs, holla! Plus I don't like how bellybuttons look when revealed through a sheer top, that may just be my personal opinion and I may just be weird like that but yeahhhh ;)

Top: TJ Maxx $13
Blazer: H&M $40
Pants: H&M $15
Necklace: Plato's Closet $6
Purse: H&M $15
Shoes: Store @ University Square Mall $30

Total:  $119

Trending: Colorful Coats!

I bought this coat a few years ago at Forever 21 and it's in just as good as shape as when I purchased it, with the exception of a couple loose buttons but that's an easy fix :P

Fashion is always in a cycle and really, many fall/winter coats are classic looks--how many different ways can you really design a coat, ya know? I'm glad I still have this one though!

Tip: If you want to revamp an old coat (maybe you're missing a button or two and can't find the ones it came with?) Just get yourself to a local craft store like Michael's or Joann's Fabrics and buy a new set of buttons! (Sometimes you can even find them at thrift/antique stores, I once found an entire jar of awesome ones for less than $5!!!)

Also, make sure to bring your coat with you to see if they complement well with the coat and that they fit in the designated button hole! It's such a cheap and easy way to refresh an old item!
