Details Make the Difference

.

The most simple looks can get so dressed up with the right details added to the look or accenting the details belonging to the items themselves. Even after a long day at work I can appreciate the effort I put in to completing someone's look by adding the extra suggestion of what jewelry or shoes to wear with the outfit and help them see the versatility in pieces. It's something I used to struggle with but thankfully to blogs, Pinterest, and Tumblr the possibilities now seem endless to me. It's so easy to think of a whole look surrounding one blouse or pair of shorts I find in a store but I can also empathize with the people who struggle to create these looks in their head. My extra details with this simple look were the butterfly wing pendant I got in St. Thomas and my Aztec print Free People socks. What are your details in todays look?

Warm Your Soul

Brrr with all this cold weather that seems to never be leaving us I decided to dedicate today's post to how you can warm your soul a little bit in these grey winter times. Everyone gets the warm, fuzzy feeling inside when little things make the biggest difference in daily life actions. Sometimes we get caught up in the hecticness of our daily schedules but it's important to remember to make time for the little things that mean the most to you.

These little things for me are anything from being able to spend sometime playing with my pup in the morning or having that perfect cup of coffee to get the day started. Helping to just find some positivity in everything that occurs can change your life in so many ways. Even the little things that occur in your day that seem like a nuisance, they happen for a reason and you might as well learn something from it.

The blue gem stone necklace I'm often wearing is from Nancy Jane Jewelry, check it out here!

Today's look:

Jacket- BCBGeneration

Little Details Mean The Most

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I know I enjoyed mine and wasn't ready to get back to the daily grind quite yet. Oh well, so that's the way the cookie crumbles and you must make the most of the week to truly reward yourself this coming weekend!

Take time to appreciate the little things in life that don't always catch your eye. How beautiful the sky looks today or how kind it was of that stranger to hold the door open for you this morning. If you make an extra moment to see the beauty in the details you will be able to live a more positive way of life.

This is also true with observing others outfits and when styling your own. When you throw that extra little flare you'll find a bouncier hop in your step throughout the day, just that little something to perk you up. Today I chose to mix some of my favorite patterns and textures to add some detail. The wool sweater vest kept me warm in the chilly PA fall while I could still wear my backless long sleeve dress with some nice brown leather boots. The pop of the bucket studded bag with my long turquoise statement necklace really tie in the feel of the whole outfit.

I want to hear what you guys are doing to spice up your daily lives! Whether it's in your outfit or something kind you did today for someone. 

"Amor la vida que vives"

Don't forget to love the life you live, everyday.
