"No matter how you feel …. Get up. Dress up. Show up. And never give up." My sentiments exactly. We are now in the third week of February and I'm currently evaluating my goals and resolutions. I have been doing good but I can always do better. So today, I'm leaving you with this outfit post and the encouragement to keep on keeping' on and if you've strayed from your path, its never too late to get back on track. 

Laced

Hello All!! I was really hesitant to put these pictures up because they are all little more sexy than I usually dress but I guess I'm in a sexy mood this week because of the upcoming holiday and wanted to take a walk on the wild side. We were very fortunate last week to have a bit warmer weather than we have grown accustomed to so I decide to put this  outfit together to give some more inspiration for a V-day look. This look is sexy but not in a raunchy way. The sophistication factor is still there and though I show a lot of leg (I have high waisted shorts on as well), the rest of my body is pretty covered up. I actually got the top in the mens section of the thrift store so that it would be a bit oversized and cover my lady bits.

 I actually got the inspiration to put this outfit together by looking at some of the 2014 S/S designer collections. Speaking of collections, NYFW week starts tomorrow and though I  won't be there this season I will definitely be checking out the shows and even share some of my favorites looks. 

Please let me know what you this of this look and what you plan on wearing for Valentines day. As always , you can check out more great content on my Instagram @according2trish

Vintage Fur

We have certainly had some crazy weather this past week. One day was sunny and almost 70 degrees and the next day is snow and hailing. These pictures were clearly taken in the latter. I got this fabulous vintage fur coat last week when I visited Minnesota. I love the soft fur and the color is to die for. This won't be the last time you see me in this, I plan on wearing it straight through till spring.

I finally ironed out the details of my upcoming giveaway so stay tuned for that this Wednesday. For more great content check me out on instagram @according2trish

NYFW Day 5

This is the last outfit I wore for New York Fashion Week. I wish I could have stayed longer because I love fashion week but of course duty calls and I had to get back to work. This jacket is pure sickness!! I have been holding on this baby since February waiting to bust it out at the right moment. I think fashion week was the perfect moment!!! The pops of red I added really brought this outfit up a notch. Trust that this will not be the last time you see me in this baby. It will be back!!!

Something blue

I have had these blue trousers for almost a year now and have never worn them.  From the first moment I laid my eyes on them in the thrift store I new they had to be mine. They are a beautiful robin egg blue and feature a high waisted fit. My favorite thing about theses pants is that they fit me perfectly and weren't even tailored. The length (which is alway a problem for me) is perfect.  Here I paired the trouser with a thin cropped sweater but I'm actually trying to find a cute vintage bustier to pair it with. When I do, you all will be the first to see.

Coolin'

 I went to an alumni cookout this pass weekend and this is the outfit I rocked for the occasion. I was kind of kicking my self the whole time because it was cold!!! What is wrong with this weather. 50 degrees at the end of April??? Global warming is REAL, people. Any who, I just want for it to warm up so I can wear my spring attire and actually feel comfortable.

Highlighter

The weather seems as though its finally trying to break but to give it a little bit of encouragement I wore this bright outfit in the hopes that the sun would get the hint and come out. It didn't but I think that it was just too shy to compete with my radiance lol.
So I was never really a Tar-jay kinda gal, but Target has really stepped up (or maybe they were already up) their clothing game. I got this cute neon and grey skirt on clearance for $10. Can you believe that ? Remember the Prabal Gurung collection at Target I spoke about here? Well I was able to get an item from that collection as well but you'll have to wait until it gets a bit warmer, to see me wear that one. So the moral of the store is, that Target might be my new shopping place.

Casually

Being casual doesn't have to be boring. 

Twelve Sixteen

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent the weekend with the family because I wouldn't be able to do so for christmas because of my European trip. I also did some christmas shopping and went to my companies holiday party. This is what I wore for that occasion. It was a lunch so I didn't want to be too formal but it was still a holiday party so I wanted to be slightly fancy.
