Scarf Versatility

There are days when I wake up and all I want to do is wear my pajamas all day while I’m running errands. But I know that I can’t do that, so I came up with the next best outfit (that was super comfy) which included a pair of black leggings, a black button up, a turquoise scarf and a pair of black Tory Burch flats (sorry I forgot to take a picture of the outfit).
Earlier this week I asked my Facebook friends for some blog ideas and one of my good friends Ann, gave me a great idea! Which brings me to my blog topic today…..Scarf Versatility!

These are 2 of my favorite scarves for Spring. The coral round scarf is from Royal BOWTiQUE and the blue and white floral scarf is from Kohls! Hope you enjoy my blog video on ways to wear these beauties!

Valentines Day Outfit Ideas!

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_dpdhQmewk&w=420&h=315]

Red roses, cinnamon hearts and giant chocolate hearts covered with red tin foil. Just a couple of visions that come to mind when I think of Valentines day! My husband and I usually lay low on this day….last year we got Jack in the Box and watched Walking Dead (best Vday ever).

A friend of mine requested this blog/video topic and I thought is was a good idea!

My first look is a work inspired outfit. The dress is from Forever 21 and it is the most comfortable dress I own! I love the pleats at the bottom of the dress, it gives it a very girly look! I bought my Gianni Bini, chunky black heels from Dillard’s (quite sometime ago) but I know that Jessica Simpson has shoes that look very similar to mine.

My gun-metal/black necklace is from Guess By Marciano (it’s an oldie but goodie). I have also seen a similar twisted cluster necklace at Forever 21 and Target.

I love this casual but girly look for Valentines day! This outfit is perfect if you are going on a dinner and a movie kind of date or even a surprise date to a fancy restaurant! We can start with my basic boyfriend tee in the color “Rose” from Nordstrom Rack (this tee comes in various colors and is a great layering piece). My “Chanel” inspired jacket is pretty old school but you can find one just like it at Macy’s in tan or black and white! My bottoms are skinny jeggings from Guess By Marciano (but you can truly find jeggings anywhere).

My funky, fun hot pink and gun-metal necklace is from H&M!!!! They also have this necklace in a highlighter green color!!!

My black clutch with a silver grip is from Charlotte Russe and my vintage inspired bracelets were bought from Alice Cooper. Ok, let me give you a little back story on this. During my freshman year of college I really started getting into vintage pieces, necklaces and bracelets….even vintage coats and bags. Lets just say I went a little over bored and bid on one of Alice Coopers pieces at The Brass Armadillo in Phoenix (he had a booth there with a lot of vintage jewels). I was lucky enough to have the highest bid and got the bracelet of my vintage dreams!!!! Well at least I still get a lot of use out of it! 🙂

My hot pink silky top is from my favorite store…….drum roll please…. Forever 21! This top also comes in black and white.

My diamond brushed gold necklace is also from Forever 21 and I love how this statement piece completes my look for Valentines Day! This necklace is no longer available in stores but you can still buy it online!

Hope you enjoyed the video today ladies!

Fashion At The Inauguration!

I watched the Inauguration for two reasons. 1. To see the President being sworn in (of course) and 2. To see what the Obama ladies were wearing!

20130123-182940.jpg

I loved Michelle Obama’s navy blue dress by Thom Browne. I thought it was a perfect fit for the Inauguration. Malia and Sasha looked amazing in plum purple and fuchsia pink; these colors pictured perfectly and I would highly recommend these colors on tan skin and dark colored hair.

Thom Browne, Kate Spade and J. Crew….how could you go wrong with amazing and affordable brands? These tailored coats are simply amazing and I want all 3 of them! I love that Michelle Obama’s coat looks like it has a belt added to it but that actually is sown into the coat. This coat also looks amazing with her new sassy bob hair cut.

This was probably my favorite look from the Inauguration Day. I love love love these beautiful fuchsia pink gloves. This is a perfect statement piece that compliments her entire outfit and in my opinion completes it. She inspired me to go find some gloves just like this! Thanks Michelle 🙂

Last but certainly not least, we have the beautiful Michelle Obama in a gorgeous red gown by Jason Wu. She also wore Wu in the first inauguration among various other events and I can see why!!! STUNNING!!!!!!!!

Forever 21 Finds!

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI4CJl2LE5w&w=420&h=315]

I feel like I talk about Forever 21 in almost every blog that I write but I just LOVE the deals I find and I have to share! Yesterday my mom and I did our Saturday tradition of going to the mall and this time around I found sweet deals that I couldn’t even believe I found!

I want to start this blog by talking about my Chocolate Brown Boots (shown below)! I only paid $7.80 for these shoes and I couldn’t be happier! I am wearing them as I am writing this entry and I am a bit distracted while writing because I can’t believe how cute they are….especially for the price! I bought these boots at the Chandler Fashion Mall location. As I said in my video above; I feel that the Chandler Fashion Mall location has a better selection of sale items than any other location in the valley! I would highly recommend going into that location today to go buy these amazing boots!

Hope you enjoy the rest of the blog video!

Happy Sunday!

My first official post on Ro’s Style Blog!

Clueless was a movie that I lived by when I was 10 years old….and maybe still to this day at age 27. I always dreamed of having a computer program where all my clothes and accessories were linked in and I could choose my outfit with a touch of a button. I know that is not real life but I know that I love fashion, whether it’s picking out nail polish to go with the current season or getting a Bazaar Magazine in the mail and trying to find all of the $20,000 pieces at Forever 21 or Dillards for under $50.

Recently I decided to start a website to personally style locals here in Arizona….and I thought it would be fun to start a blog to show current styles and fashion at a fraction of the cost of a high-end retailer.

I truly believe that what you wear mimics how you feel that day at that very moment. If you are wearing a pair of plain dress slacks that you wear every Monday because you know that it’s comfortable and easy then I guarantee that you will have an ok day…but if you are wearing something that makes you smile; whether it is a bright magenta scarf, nude top with your favorite comfortable slacks, your mood will change.

So add more color in your life and I guarantee that it will start your day off in a better mood!
