Lazy Day

Thank gosh that this college process is finally wrapping up. Between school, work, the application process, college classes, scholarship searches, I've barely had time to even sleep. I'm so happy it's finally spring break. Well, I have to admit it's not really a break, being that I have to go to work and attend school for two days during this break, but still I'll try to make the most of it because I seriously need a break.

A wise man named Bruno Mars once said this.

*singing* Today, I don't feel like doing anything. I just wanna stay in my bed. Don't feel like picking up the phone, so leave a message at the tone...*singing* 

The little birdies left their footprints in the snow.

Lately, I've been so tired and remember when I was wishing for a snow day? Yea, I'm over it. It's snowed a few times this March, which is pretty weird. You know it's Spring now, but it's still cold outside. So I'm still sporting my jacket, scarf and boots. But, I'm really getting tired of trying to dress up. I'm having those lazy days.

I always have those days where I have to go somewhere, but I don't want to really dress up.

Sometimes, I'll be sitting and watching TV, just chilling and my mom will tell me to go to the store for her. I'll get annoyed, but not because I don't want to go, but instead because I have to think of an outfit to wear. I'm not one of those people that just walk outside in pajamas and slippers. I feel uncomfortable because I like to dress to impress.

So I've discovered that I don't really have to worry about finding a whole new outfit to leave my house with. I can dress up my T-shirt (which is what I usually wear at home with some sweats). During the cold seasons, all you have to do is layer (like what I'm doing in the picture above), whether you add a scarf, a necklace or a cardigan. During the hot seasons, you can just tuck your T-shirt into your jeans, capris, or skirt and add an accessory. No one will notice your lazy day. You'll just look casual.

Even these celebrities have their lazy days, but manage to look cute.

Selena just added a necklace to her T-shirt, while Rihanna tucked her shirt into her jeans. Solange just added  a blazer. There are so many ways to go about dressing up a T-shirt.

Here are some fabulous looks I put together for inspiration for your lazy days:

For a casual day, when you're just hanging out with friends, pair these accessories up.

Attending a party? Nice accessories and hot heels are perfect for this T-shirt. No one would ever even remember you were wearing a T-shirt.

You don't even have to remain casual with a T-shirt. You can dress it up with a blazer and nice pants. This could be a good interview look that's not over the top.

So what do you usually wear on your I-don't-feel-like-doing-anything days?

Fashion Inspiration: Pastels

Lately I've been in love with pastels. I even bought a beige colored lace cardigan and pastel pink jeans, but I really don't have anything great to wear with it. Either way the way others have been wearing it inspires me to create my own outfit. My favorite pastel outfit that I have seen so far was an outfit that consisted of a pink button down shirt and light blue skinny jeans.

This outfit is perfect for a nice spring day outing. Florals are so juicy and I definitely need a small side bag to hold my accessories.

Here are different ways you can rock pastels. You can rock it with a blazer or wear a cute dress. I love the blue blazer though, it's my favorite color.


Colored jeans have been a big trend this Spring, so if you're going to rock the colored jeans trend why not try pastel colors. I usually don't like wearing bright color jeans (even though I tried a bright blue once) so a light color would be perfect for me.

You don't have to wear pastel colored clothes to show how much you love pastels, you can just try some pastel colored make-up. I am a huge fan of this. Like I said before I'm not that into being a traffic sign, bright colors are great but I would prefer this light make-up, especially since I don't wear any make-up. I usually go natural.

Add some color to your nails with light colors. They look great with a pastel themed outfit. I would love to try this color.

If you're not that into pastels you can mix and match them with some bright colors. You'll still look great.

I love this necklace. It's from Charlotte Russe. I also love the fact that it has a gold chain; I love gold! And since it's from Charlotte Russe you know it's affordable.

This shirt is fabulous. It's from Forever 21. I love the color and the fabric is light meaning its great for this weather we're feeling here in New York.

I should go shopping soon and update my wardrobe with some of these funky colors. It's spring break here anyway and the weather is fabulous for these looks right now.

Fashionably yours Amira J
