BACK TO BLACK

Posted on February 17, 2017

It’s Fridaaaaaaaaaay babes! HOOOOLLA.

You can find me celebrating the weekend snagging a bite to eat, sippin’ on a marg or two, then heading back to bed for some Netflix adventures tonight (legit my faaave place to be). I’m just not a big go out all the time kind of gal, really.

Though my weekend officially starts on Thursday afternoon, it doesn’t take away from the excitement I feel when I pick up my phone and the lock screen says ‘Friday, the whatever’. I feel like a total badass (more on this in a bit) every week because I’ve conquered all the shit the week throws at me, and I’ve come out on top. I am in school, so weekends definitely aren’t what they used to be, but there’s something about just knowing that I am setting my own pace for these three days — and NOT my university.

There’s nothing like pacing your schedule according to you and doing things at your own leisure. I find that there’s so much satisfaction in knowing that I set my own pace and got it all done. It also makes me feel like that badass I mentioned earlier.

However, on weekends there’s something that specifically makes me feel like said bad ass as well: wearing all black.

Told you guys there would be more on that badass in a bit!

Black makes me feel like a badass. Plain and simple.

I have reeeeeally been loving wearing it on the weekends when I go out. So much so, that I never realized how much black I had until I had to start throwing different looks together to attain the ‘all black’ look repeatedly.

It’s more than just the typical it makes me look slimmer or accentuates my body nicely (though it does and I ain’t made at that – Texas gal slang because duh lol). It’s really about the way it makes me feel when I’m slipping into my LBD or shrugging on my black jacket that invigorates me into feeling like a badass.

So this look.

One of my favorite ways to throw an all black ensemble together is with denim and a sweater. It’s super chill, but because it’s black — somehow manages to look dressy at the same time. You manage to always fit in, never looking too dressy or overly chill.

I snagged these jeans from Pacsun! They’re high waisted and extremely comfortable while still remaining flattering. Because they’re high waisted, I figured a crop topped sweater would be best to show off the denim while still giving a good enough amount of attention to the top.

I slipped on slinky heels from here, threw on my chain linked purse, and headed out the door on the hunt for some good food and even better margaritas.

POW! A great all black outfit to wake up your inner badass.
