Outfit details: Prada sunglasses, Forever 21 silk top, chiffon pants from Urban Outfitters, Deux Lux bag, and sandals from shop in Portugal.
I thought I'd take one of my favorite pieces: the silk shirt, and use it as a featured item on my blog! I picked a simple silk blouse from H&M ($24.95) and decided to show the many ways to dress it up and dress it down with other pieces and accessories.
Dressing down is a phrase that comes to mind when I think of going shopping, going out to lunch, running errands, or going to class. The silk top is definitely a piece that can be worn down in many ways:
- Ombre cut offs, thigh high, socks, Dr Martens, and a neon bag.
- Printed leggings (tribal, floral, galaxy, etc.), a piece of cross jewelry, and a neon bag.
- Destroyed denim, brown riding boots, topped of with a neon bag.
Nothing says cute and casual like a messy bun or wavy hair with a beanie. Plus, wearing only mascara on your eyes during the day gives you the perfect clean slate to get ready to go out at night!
Whether you're going to a bar/lounge, an event, a party, or out to dinner there are ways to dress up this top without looking like you're going to the office (yuck):
- Leather skinnies, a rhinestone collar, a heeled sandal, and an awesome hard clutch.
- Peplum skirt, some skull earrings, a heeled sandal, and a pop color clutch.
Lately there's nothing sexier than a slicked back ponytail or bun with some false lashes!

Okay so lately I've been completely inspired to revamp my wardrobe and it's the perfect time to do it. It's currently August, which realistically is still summer, but my mind is preparing for full Fall mode. I am so ready to update my wardrobe this Fall with A WHOLE LOT OF BLACK and a whole lot of basics. Well, luckily for me Zara has completely read my mind. So here I'd like to share some of the items off of the US Zara site that have got my eyes googling and my heart racing. I need to get my hands on some of these this upcoming fall and pair them with some awesome ankle booties and heels.
The asymmetrical hem and the rolled up sleeves on this slouchy knit is the perfect addition to every fall wardrobe whether it's paired with leggings or leather bottoms. $79.90 USD.
This silk asymmetrical blouse has such a unique twist to my beloved silk blouse. I love the fact that it's not button down and that is has one sleeve. So edgy yet still classy! $79.90 USD.
This 100% lambskin jacket needs no caption, I'll let it's beauty speak for its self. $299 USD.
Black slouchy v-neck knit is just begging to be paired with your jeans on a cool day. $49.90 USD.
This sleeveless peplum top is the perfect fall basic to wear under anything. $19.90 USD.
No girl can ever go wrong with a black blazer! With this adorable shoulder detailing this blazer has a little bit of fun to add to all its class. $99 USD.
Dear leather Gods, thank you for these perfect no zip, 100% lambskin leggings that scream 'KIMYE'. Sincerely, Kayla. $399 USD.

This 100% lambskin jacket has a peplum bottom and a zipper all the way down the front. I'm obsessed with leather and peplum, this is the perfect combination. $249 USD.
OBSESSED. This gorgeous black peplum top has beautiful beaded detailing around the neck and is so crisp and classy it makes me want to wear all black for days. $99.90 USD.
These camouflage skinnies are to die for (not literally). Paired with a pair of heels at night or Converse Chuck Taylors by day, you cannot go wrong! $59.90 USD.
Harem pants are such an awesome trend. The drop crotch on these subtle printed pants is killer. Dr Martens by day and heels by night, these pants can do no wrong. $59.90 USD.
The greatest accessory to any all black or black/neutral outfit is NEON. I don't think neon is a summer exclusive trend at all. I think an awesome neon accessory like this multi chain necklace is such a year round piece with so much potential. $19.90 USD.
Collars and bib necklaces have been everywhere: runways, magazines, and mall stores. Paired with a sweater there is a certain delicacy and feminine touch a gold bib necklace like this give off. $29.90 USD.
Alexander McQueen started a huge fashion movement with his clutches and this spiked evening clutch reminds me of just that. Don't let the word evening get to you. Yeah, it would look killer with a tight ass dress and some sky high heels, but bring it to the bar with your favorite Guns N Roses tee and some black jeans (talk about hott). $89.90 USD.
Now that I have shared some of my wish list items and must haves for this upcoming fall season I am curious as to what is on your must have fall list, so share!
