Hello my darlings!!

I hope everyone is doing great. It has been a while since I blogged and I missed you all. So today I will remedy that by blogging about an outfit that I recently wore  on my visit  to the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck.

Since I am  still relatively new to living in North Dakota, after having migrated from the picturesque Caribbean island of  Trinidad, I believe that  one of the best ways to help integrate myself into my new surroundings is by  trying to learn and understand the state culture,  its history, its environment, its festivals and celebrations. As such, I have been  on a quest visiting some of North Dakota places of interest such as the picture-perfect Scandinavian Heritage Park in Minot, the  charming Historic District in Downtown Fargo and the breathtaking  scenic canyons in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park .

In light thereof and  in furtherance of me getting more acquainted with my new hometown I paid a recent visit to the North Dakota State Capitol in Bismarck. While I wander through the sprawling grounds admiring some of the majestic buildings for its timeless and classic architectural designs  and  being in awe of the twelve foot bronze statue of Sakakawea, my husband photographed me wearing some of this year trends in terms of style, fabric and color.

The  faux suede blush pink dress  paired  with a chambray shirt was my attempt of achieving  the trending effortlessly chic look .  The chambray shirt  not only gave the outfit that further touch of cool casual vibe but also added that essential fall layering.  Yet,  despite the visual chicness of the outfit  the main characteristic was on how comfortable this outfit  was, which made it the ideal outfit as I explored  the extensive grounds of the North Dakota State Capitol.  What made the dress comfortable was the slight stretch of the fabric, the softness of the faux suede and the length of the dress.

Further, given the dress silhouette and its short length  I felt that the outfit will be perfectly balanced  by pairing it with tall fall boots. An added bonus is that the suede fabric of the dress and tall fall boots gave the outfit a touch of bohemian flair.   Whereas the muted hues of the outfit such as the blush pink of the dress and the grey color of the boots  gave the outfit that soft feminine characteristic.   To further enhance the look of the outfit I accessorized with a bold red scarf which  added a pop of color  against the lighter colors.

And that my dear sweethearts completes this blog post on what I wore on one of my adventures.  Hope you all enjoyed this post.

 

Love,

Hello my darlings,

I hope everyone is doing great and thank you for visiting my blog. I pray that you have enjoyed all the blog posts thus far. Your support really do mean a lot to me.

My blog post today will be on how I styled my  fall outfit by incorporating some of the rich earthy colors normally  associated with autumn.

As we delve further into autumn, I can’t help but be mesmerized and inspired by the beauty of  the changing landscape.  It is purely magical as the foliage and vegetation turn into kaleidoscopic vibrant reds, bright yellows and  golden browns with varying shades of orange thereby creating a most spectacular environment. I therefore decided it was fitting to pay homage to these environmental changes by incorporating some of the rich earthy hues of autumn in my outfit.

I paired one of fall staples, my black  turtleneck top with a  suede brown mini skirt. The turtleneck , the suede fabric and silhouette of the skirt is a nod towards the 70’s trend whilst the black and brown colors are part of incorporating the colours of fall into the outfit. But perhaps the best way of adding touches of fall hues to any fall outfit is through the use of accessories.

In this case, I styled my outfit by accessorizing with two of fall wardrobe essentials, a fedora hat and a scarf.  The burgundy color of the fedora hat and the grey muted colors of the scarf stayed within the trend of paying tribute to fall hues. I also found that the plaid pattern on the scarf added that pop of chicness to the outfit.  To complete my look  I accessorized with another colour that subtly says autumn without any risk of  over powering the outfit, a  mustard brown color cross body bag.

And that my darlings concludes how I styled my  fall outfit by incorporating some of the earthy colors associated with the season of autumn. I do hope you enjoyed this blog and until next time….
