For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a “sneak peek” post of an OOTD that I decided to wear on my trip to Disneyland with my boyfriend. After 5 years of being together, we FINALLY made it possible to go to Disneyland for the very first time TOGETHER. So here’s my second Holiday inspired look if you decide you want to be a little more dressed down and casual, without loosing the Christmas spirit!
Plaid top from Bubbles Boutique
Faux Leather pants from Fashion Street LA
Striped “reversible” sweater from a Thrift Store (Goodwill)
Jordan 1 “Black Toe” from Nike
I was about to have a super, duper long day with a very cold night at the happiest place on earth and obviously I needed to wear something comfy and warm. That’s why I decide to bring out this plaid flannel. Besides the fact that flannels are generally super warm, I love that it was in the classic red color, which reminds me of Santa Claus. It was the perfect print, color and style to compliment this sweater.
I bought this striped sweater at a local Goodwill in Hollywood. Like a million other Angelinos, I love to thrift shop and I really don’t mind owning used clothing…except shoes and personal stuff like undies & bras! (DUH!) That I am totally iffy about because of hygiene, but that’s just me! Anyway, back to the sweater! I found this sweater for five dollars! FIVE DOLLARS!!!! You guys, I’ve seriously worn this thing like crazy. It’s a perfect throw on with leggings and boots. When I found it, it had a bunch of crazy prints that I liked because it was different and because it looked old school. However, when I got home to wash it, I flipped it inside out and loved it even more because it had this thin striped print. So I decided to make it a reversible sweater :) I’ve received so many compliments for this sweater thus far, which only proves to me that it was $5 well spent. I understand thrift shopping isn’t for everyone but you should at least try it sometime. You know what they say, one man’s trash, is another one’s treasure. You never know what unique and affordable pieces you can find!
I decided to pair my top choices with my infamous “Lady Leatherette” faux leather pants mentioned in my last post. Didn’t I warn you that you would see them featured here again?! It probably won’t be the last. You’ve been warned…again! I just can’t get enough. They are my go-to pants that compliment every outfit I have in mind. To finish off the look and give it the most important casual piece of them all, I had to wear sneakers. What better choice, than Jordans to keep that trendy look alive. Of course, white chucks (Converse) would have been another ideal choice. I just happened to LOVE these.
Before I end this post, let me just say one GREAT thing about this entire outfit ensemble… YOU DON’T HAVE TO WEAR SNEAKERS!!! If you’re a girl that doesn’t really like wearing sneakers or isn’t used to wearing them, don’t worry. Heels are the cure. This outfit looks great with heels and even more feminine. Like I said, just simply ditch the sneakers and throw on your favorite blacks heels. I wore sneakers because I liked the combination and because I was spending my day at Disneyland. Well, there ya’ have it! Stay tune for tomorrow’s Holiday look. It’s a sexy feminine post! Blessings & Besitos!! Xo-M
