FASHION FOCUS: HIGH WAIST LEGGINGS
High waist bottoms basically lifts, tones and makes your legs incredibly elongated, which is why I love it! However, the only flaw you'll get from wearing high waist leggings is that it might showcase unnecessary bumps and lumps that you are trying to conceal. On a much lighter note, high waist bottoms will not only elongate your legs but will also make your bum look firmer. HA! now, isn't that all we really want ladies? 
Anyway, in today's look, I am rocking these awesome high waist disco leggings along with a floral print chiffon button up top with a pair of Lady Gaga-esque heel less platforms. Now, this looks is definitely an understatement, even Lady Gaga herself might take a second look.

FASHION FOCUS: GRUNGE CHIC
Ever felt like you just want to dress down but can not afford to look like a complete mess? Well, this look is perfect for those of us who still want to look stylish at the same time kind of like you didn't give it that much thought. This look is a tad on the "grungy" side because of the ombre denim vest, boots and the beanie, but what makes this look extra chic is how it still looks somewhat presentable and should I say "clean"?? It's another one of those "lazy day outfits" I don't know why, but I've been so drawn to these types of looks lately...maybe it's because of the weather transitioning? Nonetheless, this look is easy to wear and is super comfortable!

FASHION FOCUS: GOLD ACCENTS 
Today's outfit is a little more simpler than my other usual outfits that I put together. In this look, I put on together a solid ivory button up underneath a salmon sleeveless button up blouse and layered the two for a bit of contrast in the color department. I then added some gold accessories like my gold metal choker that I've been loving lately as well as my fabulous thrifted gold belt to singe the waist. Now, when it comes to minimalist looks, I find it best to accessorize with huge statement pieces that will bring more life and extra oomph to your outfit. In my case, to add some color and texture, I decided to go with gold accents that will not only bring in more light to my outfit but also make it more sophisticated and put together. I also included a bright yellow brief case-like satchel as an extra pop of color to make the look more fun and casual at the same time.

FASHION FOCUS: METAL CHOKERS
Metal chokers are a huge hit this season as it was last fall 2011. Aside from the whole chunky statement piece trend last fall, metal chokers have been seen on various runways and are still here to stay. They add sophistication to any look yet at the same time it also gives off an adventurous and fierce vibe depending on how you style it. With this piece, I wanted to give off a fun, laid back and somewhat androgynous feel to it so I paired the choker with a nice button up underneath a bright blue polka dot top to add a bit of contrast on colors. I also decided to layer on a thick cardigan with metallic threads for some shine, giving the whole look a more easy going feel to it. I then opt for a lighter wash denim to lighten up the entire outfit making it look a little "fresh" and fun and not too serious. And as always, black platforms for height and comfort along with a mix and mash of various arm and hand accessories and of course, my classic half-tint round frames which adds a bit of "vintage" feel to my already laid back- androgynous ensemble.
