New Balance

Welcoming my New Balance running sneakers to the family. These maroon ones are hard to find because they always sell out so quickly and I cry every time. But they are finally mine. Yay. What you see here is a typical Valerie outfit composed of tennis shoes, light ripped jeans, and a sweater. Easy, comfy, and trendy. I spiffed and prepped it up with a white shirt buttoned all the way to the top. I'm obsessed with that look! I left it untucked at the bottom for casual slightly messy vibes though. You can never go wrong with denim on denim in my opinion as I've said before, which is why I'm always for a denim jacket on top.

Minimal

On a lot of occasions, less is more. Like now. I don't think you can go wrong with a very minimal, plain colored ensemble. I love the simplicity. Forever 21 has a great selection of long coats right now, which is where I recently found this one. Couldn't be more obsessed. Grey goes with everything and the structure's great. I'm changing it up with my Nike's this time instead of my usual Adidas. I can't seem to get over this street style look.

Blazers, Baby

Downtown again with Blackcap Photography and some business-y vibes this time. There's something about a blazer that just makes me feel like a professional business woman. Idk. A blazer and jeans is such a simple combo that will always look good. I went with all black underneath because I'm loving black and minimalist styles right now. The destruction on the jeans is also a nice contrast from the dressier blazer. Obviously I'm wearing my Adidas Superstars. If you click on the link below you'll see that they are actually on sale right now. I'm telling you now, everyone needs them.
