To be honest, this outfit was a little bit of a challenge… I wanted to play outside my comfort zone. Whenever I have a statement piece like this Monki Kimono, I tend to wear it down with black pieces and let it shine by it’s own. So, following this thinking…I tried this outfit with a pair of black pumps and my black Phillip Lim x Target bag. It looked good, of course…but predictible and super easy! And that’s when the styling games started… I traded my black shoes for my favorite golden boots! But the bag…that was a though one! That’s the moment I realized I have too many bags, but no blue ones… so I went for yellow. A decision that seems impossible in Argentina, as everyone would immediately assume I’m a fan of the soccer team Boca Juniors!

 

Kimono: Monki / Dress: Forever 21 (similar) / Boots: Sybil Vane (similar) / Handbag: 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target (similar) / Necklaces: SATC and oNecklace / Tights: Unknown (similar)

 

So this week… either if you are in spring or autumn… I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and email me a picture of your outfit to novelstyle@ymail.com for a chance to be featured in an upcoming post :)

    I’m loving you short hair. I also like how you went with the yellow bag. It adds a nice pop of color in your outfit.

    I seriously LOVE your hair! Every new picture you post makes me like it more and more, and makes me start thinking about chopping off my locks. I hope you’re loving it too. I think the blue kimono is really cool. As you know, my fashion sense ends after t-shirts and jeans, but I thought this outfit was interesting. I really like the choice of yellow bag to it. However, (please don’t hurt me) I’m not feeling the gold boots. You are awesome though and I love you!

      Hahaha! Thanks!!! Yes…I love it! It is sooo easy to wash! :) And super comfortable and fresh!
      and no problem about the boots… many love them, many hate them…same with my obsession for yellow handbags (I have 3!) :)
      xoxo!

    I love the kimono trend and how you upped the sex appeal with a little flash of thigh. Also, I’m jealous that you got your hands on that bag—it is such a great color contrast to the blue.
