Threads of Morocco

Hello Everyone, 

Apologies on my lack of posting lately.

For now my posting will be on either Mondays or Wednesdays once a week. 

I am dealing with some health issues and that combined with school makes it difficult to do daily posts. 

---------

With that being said I am going to share some more from my trip to LA with my Mom!

The lobby of our hotel was decorated in lavish colors, design, and furniture. 

While thrifting I came across this gorgeous silk beaded dress and thought it looked gorgeous with the decor. 

Dress: $4

Shoes: Carlos Santana {found on clearance at Macy's}

The Beautiful Door to our Room!

Like I said in my past post, this hotel was a dream, it was gorgeous! 

If you are ever in LA and need a place to stay definitely check out The Figueroa Hotel.

Let them know little miss Kayla from Hereandwow sent you :)

Before I bid adieu I wanted to let you all know of a contest I am entered in. 

It is with Threadflip on Facebook, and all you have to do is click here 

and vote for my blog!

Business Babes

On one of my previous posts I got a comment asking for some looks

 for the regular business day. 

I personally only own one or two pencil skirts and usually wear them to interviews and other business situations. 

BUT 

Refinery29 recently did an amazing article on how to spice things up in the office!

(why yes, Refinery29 is where the blog competition is where you can vote for me!)

I am going to share a few of their photo's 

and also include the link so you can read for yourself!

Here are 3 of the looks out of 8 that I found the most inspiring for a business setting. 

Similar Jacket: here and here

Similar Shoes: here and here

Similar purse: here

similar skirt: here

I really liked the pops of color!

For those working in the 9-5 that are realizing most of their wardrobe is blue, white and black my advice is to go out and buy a few bold colored business basics. 

Business Basic:

Classy Comfortable Heels

Coat

Pencil Skirt

Blouses

Pencil Skirts, Blouses, and Shoes are always in thrift stores. 

There are always pencil skirts that are bright colors, patterned, and all different lengths!

A really good blog that always wears amazing business appropriate clothing is: 

This Time Tomorrow

  

Leopard Layers

The ONLY thing I like about winter is the ability to layer. 

(awesome sales, hot cocoa, tea, and cuddling are nice perks to winter as well)

I think the cold weather is a great opportunity to try out layers and patterns that you might not have tried before. 

I did my double scarf trick, and wore 3 pairs of tights today. 

Today it was below 50, and that is cold for this California Girl, but thankfully with my layers I stayed fairly warm!

Dress: (gift) from Macy's

Leopard Scarf - Merona (target)

Sheer Orange/Yellow Scarf - Used here

Brown Jacket - Thrifted (Wet Seal)

Shoes - Thrifted 

I stopped by T.J Max today and got some awesome pieces. Paid a little more than I would have wanted but with 'shopping math,' I have saved enough to splurge on some shoes :)
