Borrowing Closet staples from the boys paired with your feminine personal style touches will give your fit an effortlessly chic look.
Embracing the menswear inspired oversized topper, the boyfriend coat, is a must. The relaxed fit will complement your feminine frame, and is versatile enough to allow for numerous styling options.
Summer is the time to lose those hammertoe causing, neck breaking, ankle twisting contraptions, which we love to hate known as high heels.
In the summer, heels should take a backseat to flat sandals, unless you're the kind of girl who wears stilettos to the beach or platforms on hikes, which by the way reveals some type of sickness.
Summer is all about fun. It's a time reserved for adventures, which can be seriously compromised if you're hobbling around in five inch heels.
This summer, I choose to free my pinky toes from the shackles of oppression, or leather straps depending on the shoe style.
For the next few weeks, I'll wear flat sandals, and I'll enjoy whatever adventures come my way without any painful restrictions.
I recently posted on Instagram @ClosetFix and via my Facebook Page a few of my Body Fix style tips and tricks that I use like a magician to fool people into thinking that I have less flaws than I care to admit.
Frankly, I'd take such salacious secrets to my grave if it weren't for my weakness for the flesh and desire to indulge in relations.
Clearly a vow of celibacy would've kept my secret, but I'm mortal and can't even resist cupcakes let alone the forbidden fruit.
However, when I'm vertical and fully clothed to face my platonic mates, I do what I can to perpetually perpetrate the fraud of a pseudo-flawless figure by wearing clothes that fit, for the perfect Body Fix.
A very simple way to add life into a drab winter wardrobe is by including graphic sweaters. This playful Closet staple is a cool way to express yourself and add your unique personality into your outfit, like here and here. Graphic sweaters can be found in an array of colors with various images that are sure to appeal to your personal style. That's what's so great about these must have pieces! Graphic sweaters are so versatile, and when paired with complimentary pieces, they can be worn on a variety of occasions, thus allowing you to achieve your Repeat Fix. Below are two different ways I styled my graphic sweater.
Happy Hump Day! Yours truly was featured on the pages of Britain's fashion magazine Look Magazine November issue wearing these camo skinnies as seen here.
After I found out thanks to the nicest girl who reads my Blog, my head nearly exploded, I was so excited and overjoyed.
When I first saw the feature, I think I looked at it a hundred times to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me, or it wasn't some bizarre case of wishful thinking.
I mean, I can be batshit crazy at times, but that type of delusion would've taken the cake. Just to be certain, I showed it to my BF and he verified that it was in fact little old me.
I still can't believe it, but you can totally understand my immediate desire to dust off these skinnies, pair them with a sweater, jacket, and over the knee boots, sort of as a celebration. Dreams do come true!

I had the opportunity to attend the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference (IFBCON) a few weeks ago. I decided to wear a dramatic peplum top paired with sandals and camouflage skinnies, which is ironic since this print does the opposite of allowing you to hide or blend in.
Luckily, I didn't want to blend in. I wanted to stand out, and what better way to accomplish that than with a statement piece. I figured if any of those people were anything like me, remembering a name after a fleeting moment, or a random meeting, is next to impossible.
After a while, everybody is a Sally or a Monique or a Sarah, but not everybody is "that girl" wearing those camouflage skinnies with that dope peplum top, or "that girl" with the stink breath, and fingers crossed, I pray it was the former, as I hope my Tic Tacs didn't fail me.
Either way, in a room full of strangers networking like there's no tomorrow, for better or for worse, you want to be remembered. You want to make an impression that will last after whatever person you're trying to impress gets home and tosses all the business cards in the trash.
And trust me, if you check out awesome Blogger Bobby Austin's video above where I'm featured from 1:56 to 2:07 there was a hell of a lot of business cards to be had, as the place was packed with bloggers who were all dressed to the nines, vying for the attention of their peers.
This can be a bit intimidating especially if you go to something like that solo dolo as I did, and I knew no one there. So, you can only imagine how nerve wracking it was for a person like me who is generally not aggressive in social situations unless Jose Cuervo or Jack Daniels shows up, then that's a whole other story.
But, without that liquid courage coaxing that social butterfly out of me, I still had to muster up the balls to approach people like one of my favorite Bloggers, Krystal, from This Time Tomorrow, and start conversations that may have been forgettable, but boy, did you see "that girl" in those camouflage skinnies and dope peplum top. Fingers crossed something stuck, and I left an impression.
