Pinspiration // Winter White

I created a board on Pinterest called "Winter White". I've seen so many fascinating white and neutral combos in the blogsphere recently, and although I'm terrified to try the look myself, I really do think it's gorgeous. (I'm a bit clumsy and would be the one discover an unknown substance on my outfit 5 minutes into wearing it.)

For more "Winter White" images and outfit ideas, check out my Pinterest board here.

How cool is it that leopards, cheetahs, and jaguars get to wear stylish prints 24/7? Yes. I'm the girl who thinks of this stuff. Now onto today's post...

Yesterday I showed you my take on fall brights by using cobalt blue and orange to spice up a rather plain cream, grey, and black ensemble. Today I wanted to try wearing leopard print with burgundy. (I previously put some ideas together in this post.) I'm now realizing that my skirt looks a little more purple than burgundy, but I think it still works.

What are your fall and winter favorites?

Blazer: Forever 21 | Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: JC Penney | Belt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Zara | Clutch: Forever 21

You may or may not have realized it, but this outfit is more or less the exact same as this outfit. All I did was add the blazer and change the belt and clutch. I've had all of these items for a while now, and it wasn't until I remembered this post that I realized I could try something new by putting them all together. Ta-Dah! A brand new outfit!

By the way, I took these pics myself! ...with the help of a tripod, a remote, a new lens, and some decent weather. I still prefer the work of my #1 photographer (my husband), and I definitely need more practice, but I think in due time I could become a pretty good back up...

What do you think?

Today is my birthday!

To celebrate, Paulina Carmel*, an online modest clothing store for women, is offering My Garments of Praise readers FREE shipping with code "BLOG12" on any order! I wore this dress from Paulina Carmel to a '50s-themed birthday party over the weekend, and I must say I felt classy, vintage, and current at the same time. Now that I am 25, I am feeling mostly vintage, but I'm hoping that will pass.

Enjoy the day everyone! It's the best day of the year, after all ;)

Men's Style // Colored Pants

This one is for the guys! Thanks to the style expertise of my faithful male model (no, seriously... I think he missed his calling to modeling), we collaborated on a mini-lookbook for guys who are still on the fence about colored pants.

Guys... Colored pants are a lot more versatile than you may think! They can be dressed up or down, preppy or edgy, and they add some fun to your ensemble. Here are a few different looks Dwayne picked out to show as examples... (Thanks again, babe!)

Outfit 1 - Sweater: Tommy Hilfiger | Shirt: Vazzoni | Slacks: Express | Belt: Express | Shoes: Aldo

Outfit 2 - Shirt: Banana Republic | Tie: H&M | Slacks: Express | Belt: Express | Shoes: Aldo

Outfit 3 - Shirt: Max's | Slacks: Gap (similar) | Belt: Diesel | Boots: Levi Strauss & Co.
