Street-wear

So today I ditched the heels and opted for my favorite pair of Jordan’s in the entire universe. You see, growing up I didn’t have much but everything I did have, was given to me by my mom with a lot of love and sacrifice. I’ve always been a “sneaker, jeans and T-shirt” type of girl. From Payless shoes, to swapmeet shoes, later upgrading to converse (my favorite growing up) and eventually my most expensive shoes, Vans. However, Jordan’s were never in the budget. They were to expensive to ask and I didn’t really care much for them because I was always thankful for what I already had. However, I clearly remember these Jordan 3s. I was in the 6th grade when I first saw these shoes and I fell in love. These were the only Jordan’s I ever really desired and every time I wear these, I treasure them. They’re my babies.

Okay so moving on. Lately, I’ve been in sneaker mode, all day, everyday. I worn sneakers this entire week straight. Today was no exception. I actually worked this outfit around my shoes. In fact, that’s how I always style my outfits of the day. I begin with “What shoes should I wear today?” And the rest is history. Today I had planned to visit the mall to do a little walking from store to store. I wanted to be comfortable and considering that the weather was gloomy, I knew pleather pants were a good choice..since there would be no sun to fry me up.

I wanted to keep the look casual but still trendy at the same time. I wanted to add a little style to it to avoid looking so plain. Initially I was going to wear a white T but, I eliminated that option when I remembered I had bought this top two nights ago. The reason I loved this top was because it fit me perfectly. It was fitted and wrapped around my waist to avoid looking so boxy. It was the perfect fit and even more perfect to compliment these pants. I know, I know, pleather and denim is a little played out but c’mon!!! You can’t go wrong. I personally love this duo of a trend because its such a trendy yet effortless look. I take this HUGE inspiration from Kanye West. I disapprove of some of his style choices but for the most part, he pulls off trendy looks with such class.  

Again, accessories were minimal. I wore out this quilted, pleather and gold braided purse to add femininity to this look. It’s such a comfy purse. No hassling and it’s a good size for theme park days or just a day out that includes a lot of walking. Hope you ladies enjoyed this post. It’s starting to get a lot cooler in L.A. so be ready for warm outfit posts. Blessings! XO-M
