Sensible Stylista

Find of the Day: Cynthia Mesh Pumps from BCBGeneration ($29.39)

Super excited to tell you guys about today's FOTD.  I picked these babies up Friday afternoon!  I love living next to a mall that has Off Saks and Last Call, ha.  These heels (originally $89) are available for $29.39 here.  Love at first sight - I mean, the mesh + cap toe + leather ankle strap? So much winning.  

These kicks are 4.25" high, but don't let that intimidate you.  Trust me, I'm AWFUL in heels (I kind of walk like a donkey, don't judge) so I'm extremely particular.  The leather strap will keep the shoe ON for starters, ha, and the mesh has a lot of give so your footsies will be all sorts of comfortable.  I can't wait to wear these loves out and about.  Great for work AND play - fits true to size.  Also available in red HERE and blue HERE.  I own the shoes in black, and I would've bought a pair in red, but they're out of 6.5's *sad face*


I'll be shopping quite a bit this week (I'm on Spring break) so I'll be sharing more finds with you guys.  I only recommend pieces I OWN so I can vouch for quality, and all FOTD's are purchased with my OWN money.  If a featured piece happens to be gifted, I'll let you guys know!

Remix: Chevron Printed Shorts

Sooo my shorts probably look familiar because I, uh, featured them yesterday, HA.  Hey, don't judge.  I like re-wearing stuffs from my closet.  In fact, I kind of want to re-style them all week to see how many combos I can come up with *scratches head* maybe another time! I do want to do a style challenge or some sort though.

ANYWHO, I'm actually not wearing anything new today!  Yeah, that's right.  I'm feelin' EXTRA "sensible', ha.  I styled this fab +Talbots blouse HERE in a chic work-friendly look a while back.  I told y'all this blouse was mad versatile - looks amazing dressed up AND down.  Let me quickly share my thought process behind today's LOTD.

"Heck yes, this blouse would look awesome with my shorts because both have hot pink hues.  Sweet. What do I wear on top though? OH, a white blazer! I'm gonna throw on a white crossbody to match, and accessorize with a gold necklace to spice thangs up." Hashtag deep thoughts of Kimberly Kong, ha!  

I know you guys can't see this because I didn't take a full body shot, but for the record, I wore beige heels  Neutral canvas for my brights!  Beige heels are my go-to for sure.

Blazer:  H&M
Blouse: Talbots
Bag: Deb
Shorts: c/o Haute Rogue ($48)
Necklace: c/o Hanuel ($24)

Let's take a look at the office-friendly look I was talkin' about earlier...
Which outfit do you guys prefer? The casual ensemble above or the polished work-friendly look below?

The Neon Blazer

I'm SUPER excited to share today's look with you guys. I have a lot to tell you so let's get right to it. Let's start with my fab new blazer.  This stunning neon jacket is available for $33.75 HERE (originally $45) at Cheeky Peach.  I highly recommend this piece!  I know I'll be wearing it all summer long.  The color's super trendy, and the fit's really flattering (slightly oversized - think boyfriend fit).  A girl can never have too many blazers - I recommend purchasing them in different colors, fits, and prints!  FYI: also available in royal blue.  Use code KIM to get free shipping!  You're welcome in advance.
Let's take a closer look at my necklace courtesy of Sparkles & Pop.  Gorgeous, right?  Available here for $48.  I know the piece is kind of pricey, but trust me when I say it's worth EVERY freakin' penny. The quality's off the hook.  The photo really doesn't do it justice.  If you're looking for new statement jewelry, check 'em out STAT.  I actually featured them on SS yesterday (clicky HERE if you missed aforementioned the post).  Yeah, I'd be their official brand ambassador if I could, ha.  
My outfit sans blazer.  Love, love, LOVE my new Haute Rogue shorts - available here for $48.  A great alternative to denim shorts!  The fab watercolor-esque chevron print is perfect for summer, and the loose fit (cinched by an elastic waistband) is flattering AND comfortable.  FYI:  US residents get free shipping on their orders.
