Blouse-Thrifted; Necklace & Skirt-Smart Set; Shoes-Charlotte Russe; Beret (worn like this)-Zellers
This past weekend was a whirlwind of train travel, dancing, cab travel and more dancing. I was in Toronto taking fitness class training and am excited to say I am now a certified Zumba Instructor! I will be posting choreographed videos later this week (after my aching body has recovered) but for now here are my black and grey neutral outfits as part of Megan and Keely's latest fashion remix challenge!
Dress (worn like this) Swapped; Vest, Belt & Ring-Thrifted; Boots-Spring |
{This outfit is all about the faux fur so I'm also linking up to Tammy's decade challenge!}
Neutrals are not my forté so true to its name, neutral week will definitely be a fashion challenge for me! I was so tempted to throw on a pair of colourful tights but wanted to stay true to the neutral palette.
What about you- do you prefer dressing in neutrals or bright colours?
Yah for the fur vest! It looks gorgeous over your dress. You look very chic and cozy. The black outfit is great too with your beret :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the neutrals would be a piece of cake, but they have turned out harder than I thought. I like color, ha ha! Heather
I adore that grey neutrals outfit - you look so elegant!

ReplyDeleteWhere do you teach? I've always wanted to try it out!
I like using almost any colour when it comes to clothes. it mostly depends on my mood though.. and the fact how much time I have for getting dressed. btw, you look really chic in that grey outfit! it really suits you so well ;)

Your all black look is so chic - but I am crazy dying over that gorgeous fur vest! I love it! Thanks for joining up with us this week. Zumba sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the fur vest!!! It is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try Zumba, but I haven't yet. Maybe you'll inspire me to get out and do it!
I definitely love my neutrals (esp. black) but I do enjoy throwing in a pop of colour too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on becoming a Zumba instructor! Way to go! That must have been a lot of work. I can't wait to see your videos. :)
ReplyDeleteBut how are you supposed to look fashionable in gym clothes??? I usually look like a mess at the gym, sad but true.
My little friend, that vest has my link up written all over it! I love the hat! I still think my head is to big for hats!
ReplyDeleteExcellent job styling black and gray! Love these looks. Especially that fur vest! I'm a neutral girl, but really need to incorporate more color in my wardrobe.

Woohoo!! Go you! I always toss around the idea of getting into personal training, or fitness instruction, but then I remember my couch is comfy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the Zumba certification! I love that class. Your neutral outfits look great. As far as wearing neutrals or bold colors, I guess it all depends on my mood.
ReplyDeleteOk so I am in love with the gray outfit. It is so rich and the fur is beautiful. Those boots ohhh those boots are so gorgeous. Congratulations on your Zumba certification. I take Zumba twice a week and LOVE it :)

I'm a big fan of your second look here. I really love an outfit with a lot of neutrals, but my favorites are brown & grays. But personally I have an easier time making outfit with lots of colors in them. Something about bright colors just makes an outfit feel 'finished' in my mind.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would love to see your Zumba videos, I've never tried it before because I am scared to work out in front of people. But it sounds like a lot of fun.
love the second look, especially the fur vest! I'm LIVE in neutrals, so I should probably participate in the NO NEUTRALS week. lol
ReplyDeleteThat. Vest. Oh, yes. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually wear neutrals when I'm super-stressed or sad. My clothes are a pretty good barometer of what's going on inside.

I definitely prefer neutrals I don't like attention of bright colors. So I like your neutral outfits, the faux fur vest is beautiful! Looks great with the dress and boots for a party look. The black ensemble is feminine and stylish yet edgy. The beret is really cute.
