An All-Black Outfit Has Never Failed Me

My wardrobe has an overabundance of black items and I have zero regrets about it! I stand by black going with everything, including itself. For a look as chic as it is easy to pull off, just opt for an all-black ensemble like this one! Shop the look:

Bodysuit

Jeans

Belt

Loafers

Lace Brami?

So who's heard of a "brami" before? ...  Yeah me neither before like 10 minutes ago. A brami is a cross between a bra and a cami, which is perfect for me due to my general disdain for anything heavier than a bralette or bandeau. I paired this Free People brami with some boyfriend jeans from Urban Outfitters and, of course, my loafers. Similar bramis down below. Just follow the links to shop them!

Blue Jeans, White Shirt

I chose to pair this ruffle-trim cropped cami with my high-waisted vintage skinnies from Express. I believe in staple pieces such as these jeans. I can wear them a few days out of the week and just exchange certain pieces or accessories to create new looks! The same goes for my belt. It's actually my only belt but because I chose wisely, I don't need any other belts! Also, y'all can't see them but I'm wearing my plaid loafers from Target. Links down below.

I Had A Different Mall In Mind

I'm a firm believer that sneakers go with everything, and that belief didn't fail me today! I paired this plaid mini dress with my Adidas and some basic gold jewelry. Dress link down below.

*Good job to my dad for taking these pictures for me!

Street Style At Its Finest

I can't think of a better outfit for perusing museums all day. I've always wanted to embody "cool girl style" and I feel like I've finally achieved it! A bodysuit, high-waisted jeans, and classic sneakers are the perfect go-to look. I've included links to the pieces that comprise this outfit below.

Somewhere Between Bad Hair Day and Woodstock Goddess

My go-to on bad hair days is this scarf I'm wearing. I got it from a thrift store actually and it always has my back when my hair sure doesn't! I paired it with a flowy tunic-like top from Lemon Drop Boutique, shorts from Express (it's nearly impossible to see them but trust me, I'm wearing shorts!), sandals from Target and a variety of layered necklaces! Honestly, this was a hodge-podge outfit that I threw together and it ended up being something really fun and Woodstock-worthy! It's gratifying to let your style flow organically and it actually turn out well in the end! I had a lot of fun with this look today and will definitely find ways to modify and recreate it in the future.

Sweet Days Ahead

These were some of my favorite gifts I received on my birthday this year (separate jewelry post coming later). I got a super cute planner so I can finally get my life together, a makeup bag, pen set, the pen from 'Clueless', a cup and bottle of wine with a mystical, magical logo on the front. My birthday this year was great and I'm sure there are sweet days ahead!

The Perfect Espadrilles

So we all know DSW has the best deals on Designer shoes. I never really have a mission when I go in there , I just like to peruse through the seemingly endless aisles of shoes. Today, my eye was caught by these Steve Madden espadrilles. I love these shoes because they're a neutral color that can be worn with anything. Also, the heel height isn't outrageous. They have 1 1/2" platform and 2 3/4" wedge. Link to these beauties down below!

Apolo Espadrilles

Almost Angelic

Today's my 21st birthday! Exciting right? For today's festivities I decided to go with this cream-colored crochet maxi dress from Lulus. I bought this dress last year so it's not on their website anymore, but I've included links to similar looking dresses!

Paisley's In, Right?

My favorite and only kimono is this paisley-printed piece from Neiman Marcus Last Call. It goes with any basic and makes for a great statement piece. My bodysuit is from Forever 21, my jeans are DL 1961 Florence skinnys, and my belt is from Urban Outfitters.

Divine Mini Dress

This wrap dress by Billabong is the object of my affection today. It's my go-to for when I feel like I have nothing to wear. I just slip on this dress and my style rut is immediately over! Crazy, huh? I'm not saying this dress is magical, but it very well might be! I bought this dress last summer so the print I have it in isn't available anymore. I linked to a different print of the dress if you guys are interested though!

I usually pair this dress with sandals, but I had to work a long shift today so I wore my Vans instead. They're kind of a creamy baby salmon pink color and I actually haven't seen them in stores since I bought them. Perhaps another mystical item in my closet? Doubtful, but the thought of owning mystery Vans makes me feel special! But not as special as this dress makes me feel. So if y'all are interested in having a little piece of magic in your closet, I definitely recommend the Divine Mini Dress!

Remmy Loafers

Recently, Target has become one of my new favorite shopping destinations. They're super affordable and still offer trendy, quality pieces. I came across these shoes while browsing and instantly knew I had to have them. I'm graduating from college this fall, so I've had to be conscious of the pieces I buy lately. I want shoes and clothes that are stylish but also appropriate for work or interviews. These loafers take the cake for sure! They feature a plaid print and backless design for breath-ability, which I love! The price wasn't too bad either - $22.99. I definitely recommend buying these loafers.

The soles are also pretty supportive and cushioned, which is surprising for the price. But, I'm not complaining! The Remmy Loafers also come in a black faux-leather finish if you're interested in a more versatile shoe. My best friend has them in black and she wears them to work all the time! She's on her feet mostly so her testimonial is sincere. If y'all are interested in rocking these loafers, check them out at the link below, or pop into your nearest Target for a look. 

P.S. They fit perfectly true to size!

Dom Nicole

What to say? What to say? I'm not very good at introductions so I'll keep this short and simple. This is my blog. A place to document my favorite looks and creations. I'd like my style to do the talking, so my posts won't consist of very many details unless necessary. I'm pursuing a degree in fashion and literally 80% of my day has to do with something fashion-related. So I'll let this be an outlet to crawl out of my style ruts and inspire new creativity. Hence, Dom Nicole is born!
