Spring Wardrobe: Spring Capsule Essentials!

3/20/2019

   


      When it comes to Spring, we all want it now. Since spring is here, where I am from we still can't wear our spring clothing, because it still cold out. Which it needs to go now, because I am so ready to be outside and workout. I want to go walking and I can't, because no one never shovel here, which should start being a rule. I have decided to create the Spring Wardrobe Capsule, all the basic's that you need for Spring. I decided to keep it minimal, because we don't need a lot of clothing for spring, since summer is right around the corner. If you have clothes from last year, then corporate them for this year as well.
    From my point of view, my closet is full of clothes that I really don't wear, but sometimes I would like to, but I have nowhere to go to wear them. At first I thought about going thought them and donate them, but I can't, because I am going to need them, and I am going to end up kicking myself, because I gave them away. Anyways, getting back to Spring Wardrobe, when it comes to the basic, you would want to keep them being minimal, because you are just going to end up getting some summer clothing as well. So let's take a peek on what I have for you.

1) Shorts
    Shorts are the one thing that everyone wears, I am not a short girl, but I had to include it. because others wears them. When it comes to styling a pair of shorts, everyone likes to grab a tube top and a tank top with them, I don't, I like to style them with a cute little top that can go with everything else, includes a skirt, pants and others.

2) Romper
    I never wear rompers, because I think they to hard to take off, if you have to use the bathroom. I also like the fact that they can be wore with anything, with tennis, wedges, heels, basically anything. They are so easy to find something to go with them, that one thing I like. There are good and bad things about these Rompers, will I wear them, as long I can wear undergarments underneath.

3) Cardigans
    Cardigans should be known as the Spring fashion of it all, because they are light and can be wore for any occusions, which I like. I am a cardigan girl, I have tons of them in my closet. They can go with anything.

4) Pants
    I am not really sure if anyone wears pants in the spring, I know I do, but I never wear denim, I always stick to my yoga pants, because I mostly workout in the Spring, which that reminds me, I have to get back on track. So I don't wear denim, will I wear denim, I consider them being fall wear, not spring wear.

5) Shirts
    When it comes to shirts it should focus on spring, showing a little shoulder here and there would work perfectly for the season. I believe all shirts can go for spring, because they are light and not so warm. Where I am from, we are still wearing our heavy shirts and fleeces. I like shirts that make a statement and not something that was throw together just to make an outfit.

6) Shoes
    There are many styles of shoes for spring, that can go with any outfit that you are putting together. Just make sure that it the right shoe. If you have to or maybe want to, think of the color of the shoe to go with the shirt that you are wearing, that what I do. I always been that way.

Here a little tip, start going thought your closet for pieces of clothing and shoes and accessories. If you do then you might be able to save yourself some money.

Ask Alexis: How to gain Confidence?

3/11/2019

   

     We know all that confidence is not an easy task to take on. I know that I am not that much confidence. I always been that way. But when I do gain the confidence I always turn out to be a bitch, it simple for me and a lot easier to be one. When I get ask about being confidence, this one is hard for me to answer, because I am not confidence, because I always get judge and label for being something that I'm not, which I am getting sick of. I know when I walk, everyone tells me I walk with confidence, I don't believe it.

    Dear Alexis
I am writing to you to ask if you knew how to be confidence. I am a shy girl and who looking for more confidence and I was wondering if you would know any tips on how to be? thanks Shy Girl.


    To be honest, I am shy to sometimes, because I don't really like talking to people. I am not very much social. It just who I am, which I need to change that, but I think It fine. But anyways, to be honest, I think there are no tips to gain confidence. Confidence is a stand alone thing, where you need to come out on your own and break the shell that is covering your shell. I suggest start talking to people that you normally don't talk to and practice picture taking, which I have problems with this one. I may take beautiful photos, but I am not confidence enough in order to practice them.
    I think you need to break the shell that your in and just go for it. Being confidence is everything that is going to make your life easier. I just hope that you are able to just go up to people that talk to them, like for example, if you are in high school, you can easily go up to some of your school mates and ask them how is your day going or make a conversation, just remember if they walk away, they are more shy then you, because they are only sticking to one clique, so remember it not you, it them. They walk away, find another group, talk about a game that you seen, say what did you think of the game on Friday or something like that. When you do that, you are on the verge of breaking out of your shell. If you are an adult, do the same thing. confidence is something that is on it own and it up to you to break from it. I know I need to work on mine, which I am doing that now. Maybe we all should do it together. Please let me know how it turns out for you.

3/06/2019

     There are so many looks out there that people wear when they are doing fitness. There are the prints, camo, floral, and marble as fitness gear, there are probably more, but to me I had to stop there, before I decide to puke. Because there are so many, and I don't think my mind can take anymore. But for this post, I have decided to take it to the next level of affordable. I know some of you probably already have fitness gear in your closet or in your drawer, so I have to match some things for you. I know some of you maybe not be able to afford some of your fitness gear if you want to start doing fitness. So I have decided to do something that I have never done. I have decided to go though my workout gear and find piece that will help with your finding, yes, I got mine all at thrift stores, because I am one of those people that can't afford workout gear, which it is fine, because I am not that type of person  who would spend a fortune on workout gear. I am a more of a budget girl and I know if I do spend a fortune on workout gear, there should be a lot of life in the price and the fabric, more like 10 years. Some of these looks are similar to each other, because they are. I decided to show you many different looks from 3 items a piece, because we have 2 jackets, one hoodie, one shirt,  2 sport bras, one pair of yoga pants and also 2 pair of capris. When trying to create these outfits, I actually had a good time, because I actually created something that I know people actually have in their closet. I have created 11 looks for you to help you with your finding at a thrift store or your own closet. So Let see what I came up with.

1) Fitness Look 1:

2) Fitness Look 2

3) Fitness Look 3

4) Fitness Look 4

5) Fitness Look 5

6) Fitness Look 6

7) Fitness Look 7

8) Fitness Look 8

9) Fitness Look 9

10) Fitness Look 10

Do you have fitness wear that you have hidden in your closet that you decide to bring back out and get into the fitness journey. Please share in the comment below.

Tuesday Five: Spring Plaid

    When it comes to Spring, I am always in the mood for plaid. so I have decided to make something new, instead of having fall plaid or winter plaid, I have decided to make it Spring Plaid. There are many colors that can contribute to being Spring Plaid. One thing, when it comes to plaid for spring, is the colors that they bring, from light pink to sunrise yellow. They can go with anything, from straight leg jeans to yoga pants to shorts. They basically can go with anything, when it comes to pants that are plaid, they can basically still go with anything. I am a plaid girl and I will always will be. I just love the fact that I can simply go bye something and I can easily match up with something that I already have.
    Spring Plaid does not get talk about that much I think, all I hear is the Gingham style. But some of that is plaid. So I wonder if they are the same thing or do they mean the same. I think I always wore plaid from the time that I was a kid to the time now. Plaid is something that everyone can wear and I believe you can also wear it for all season, just different colors. Spring Plaid might be my favorite this year. So who ready for spring Plaid like I am. So here are the top 5 looks that I pick for Spring Plaid season.

1) White Plaid

2) Black and White everything Plaid

3) Office attire plaid!

4) Gothic all black Plaid!

5) All Casual Plaid!

So who ready for the Spring, I know I am. Which look is your favorite? Please comment below. If you would like to see anything on the blog, please let me know.
