Exploring Berkeley

 
 
 
Top: Uniqlo, Sweater: Mango, Skirt: Cotton On, Bag: MBMJ

Over winter break, me and my boyfriend went to Berkeley to do some exploring. Even though we have lived in the Bay Area all our lives, we realized that neither of us had truly gone around Berkeley. We decided to go one day and had a blast. I was fascinated by the landscape of Berkeley. The old town streets with a mix of urban boutiques and unique restaurants. It was so much fun! We'll definitely be taking a trip back there. 
This is the outfit I wore for our little date. I layered a polka dot printed denim top underneath this cream colored knit sweater and finished it off with a red circle skirt. I glammed it up with some black tights and Mary Jane style heels. I always try to perpetuate to everyone the affect a classic heel can do to any outfit. It immediately gives anyone a more sophisticated and respectable look, maybe because in heels, us girls tend to stand more straight with our heads held high. So, I challenge you ladies to add some heels to your next outfit! Whether it's for a night out with friends, to dinner, to the movies, or even just grocery shopping, you'll feel more powerful and fabulous! I know I did walking through the streets of Berkeley.

Hope you all enjoy!

  10. This is a really cute winter look--I especially love the polka dot blouse under the fluffy white sweater for a fun pop of color contrast against that awesome burgundy skirt! You look awesome. Berkeley is actually one of my favorite places to spend the day; I've spent so much time as an undergrad there, especially around downtown. Glad to hear that you liked it! :)
