LookBook: Leather Leggings from Day to Night.

Hey loves,

Although it's the last week of March I decided to do a LookBook for you instead of a favorites post. But let me know if you have missed it and I will make sure to do one next month for sure! I've been waiting for the right moment to do a LookBook with these faux leather leggings and I thought this would be the perfect time. What I love about these leggings is that not only are they on trend at the moment but also very classic and can be dressed up or down. For my day time look I paired the leather leggings with a studded jean jacket, white v- neck T-shirt, a blue patterned scarf and white vans. I love how casual it makes the leggings look. For the night time look I channeled my inner Sandy from Grease. I took the same T-shirt, and traded the jean jacket for my faux fur vest. I also traded the casual vans for my Madden Girl, patent leather black pumps. I love this look because If you are on the go, from school to a date or a night out these outfits can be easily changed between the two without having to carry your whole closet with you!

LookBook: Super(hero) Fridays.

Hey Loves! 

This week has been so stressful! But nothing can make me feel better than cap'n of the week in one of my all time favorite sweaters! I often call this sweater my "critique" sweater, as I wear it anytime I have a critique in one of my art classes. I also love this sweater because it's just plain comfortable, and it has the avengers on it. I paired this sweater with a pair of denim leggings, black cheetah print vans, my union jack beanie, and my brand new forever 21 coat. I just bought this coat on sale at forever 21 on tuesday! It only cost me $22.80! That's a steal! It has faux leather selves and asymmetrical zipper. Everyone who has seen me wear this coat has loved it. It was the last coat that they had in the store too, so I knew I had to own it! I also added my white triangle charming charlie's necklace to dress up the sweater. 

I want to know, what's your go to comfort outfit?

Apparently I bought it. #13

LookBook: Blue with Envy

Hey loves,
It's another thursday here at MinWage and I have a new lookbook for you! Once again this weeks outfit was inspired by a work outfit. I find that I am always dressing up for work, and so I always get my inspiration from those outfits.

This week I posted a picture of me wearing this dress on instagram ( thestephfunny) and lots of people were in love with the dress. So I thought I would share it with you guys! What I love about this dress is that it's in the season's "it" color and it has a flower and lace pattern. Also the dress is a skater style so it cinches in at the waist and then flairs out. This style is the most flattering on every body type!

For coverage because it's still a little chilly out, I added the grey boyfriend cardigan. I love this cardigan because it has panels that have open stitching and it allows air to flow through them, so I find that it is the perfect spring sweater.  I wore boots because I enjoy the rough look of boots with a really girly dress. Also the boots were the prefect grey to match the sweater. To add to the blue I accented with my blue watch and a thin turquoise bracelet. 

On a side note, I feel like this shoot looks like a Marc Jacobs/ American Appeal ad, no?

Don't forget to search this outfit on Trendabl!

It's so Trendabl!

Hey loves,

I just heard about this amazing app and I thought I would share! It's called trendabl and basically it's the Instagram of fashion and fashion designers! So naturally I joined the train! 

But what's amazing about this app is that if your following someone, and they post a picture of an outfit you love, you can click the " find it" button and it will search the web to find the outfit. Can you say Ah-MAZ-ING. And you can even link a debt or credit card to the app so you can search, find, and purchase all in the app! There goes my next pay check. 

So if you don't want to search for where I got my outfit I will be posting each one of my look books on trendabl and the app can find it for you! :) you can follow me at minwagefashion! 

Don't worry I will also be posting where each one of my outfits are from on my blog per usual! But I heard about this app while watching Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, ( yes I do watch it ), and thought I need to get this app! 

Let me know if you get the app and what you think!

LookBook: Goodbye Snow Hello Boho.

Hey loves,
Happy Thursday! So this week I went for a look that was more casual.

The snow is finally melting here in Minnesota and so we can start to put away some of our layers and add some color into our looks! Because I was in the spring spirit I styled this boho inspired look. I took my white H&M tunic and belted it to accentuate my waist and added color around my neckline with my mint colored necklace from charming charlie's.

For bottoms I wore a pair of jeggings from target. I added a pair of tan sweater leg warmers and put my brown boots over top. I picked these boots because the brown matched perfectly with my belt. I styled my hair with a middle part and two braids wrapped around my head to add to the over all look.

What is your go to spring style?

Outfit:

Tunic- H&M

Necklace- Charming Charlie's 

Belt- Maurices

Jeggings- Target

Legwarmers- Fashion Bug

Boots- Famous Footwear (Carlos Santana)
