If you are NEW here...Welcome. The way u got here makes me no nevermind, I'm just glad ya came. With that being said...the highlight of my week is the joy I get when Saturday's roll around. I love waking up; typically around 0530 and lay there for an hour to delibate on what to wear or where to go for my coffee run.
What to wear? What to wear? What to wear TO where-is what toggles my mind becuz I want to utilize the opportunity to be creative which I tend to be less of at work these days and more importantly...be an example to heaux on how to get dressed without stressing n overthinking it. I've been slacking on my Style Stories per week so I'm here doing a quick run down on some Sip Trip Couture for August.
At the top of the month, I had the pleasure of a plus one for a coffee date (The Art of Dating) and I kept it cute yet flirty.
My top is old from a Turkish modest boutique spot in Tysons near Nordies Ebar and my jeans (Target) and if u needed a quick update...he's still here ;)
I love a good SET!! A quick way to look like u gave effort when u ain't have to think hard. Stripes make it look easy and the real work is done utilising accessories:
Happy Birthday to Me is when I got this MCM Vanity Bag from NM
I did a personal touch to the bag w/my necklace used as a purse strap from ShopKhoi
Surprisngly, these aren't kittens, lol-shocker I know :D Just know comfort is mandatory and these L'Artiste Platforms are dreams.
I would LOVE to tag the set buuuut it's sold out via Nordies :(
Such a fun set to wear! I also envision wearing this separately whether it's the shorts with a white tee and jean jacket or the top with jeans or together where I add a belt to cinch the waist. Nonetheless...you'll see this again well into Fall.
All of the deets for this weekend wear can be found here.
Not gonna lie...Tatte Bakery has been my 3rd favorite coffee spot to make the drive to and enjoy a quick walk around in Old Town Alexandria. I tend to go here with my mini coffee date-e, Toot and we go to a nearby playground which gives me 2 breaks in one! To round out my month, I came here ALONE to drown inside my go to order of a Pistachio Latte.
I almost forgot I had this one grabbed from a few sales ago on Farm Rio. I mean come on...a tshirt dress (size xl)...no brainer!! I almost wore my tennis shoes but becuz my pedi is going strong n nothing's chipped, lol, I decided...why not add my FAVORITE Rio Slides (I have gotten cost per wear a hundred times over)-sorry...these are a few years old so not available.
If ever u need a stripe canvas bag...here ya go! I got this in 2022 n haven't worn it much but this came in clutch **no pun** for the Finale's Sip Trip look.
Overall, I tend to keep my weekend looks based on my mood but more than not, I like to keep em fun since the weekend is my escape. No matter how extra it may look for first thing in the morning, I just shop my closet and remix old with the new. My default spot is my local Starbucks if I plan to run errands shortly after and I love to venture out so don't stop recommending coffee shops and if ever ur up for a coffee date...I'm down before 0900a.
As we move into September, the mornings begin to get crispier so I'll be breaking out some long sleeves to include sweatshirts n jackets. If I'm outside long enuff, I can feel the temp to start rising after 0900a if the sun is out and more people start to hit the streets. If there are rainy Saturday mornings, more than likely...it's a Nespresso Day becuz I hate being out in the rain. No fret, even lounging around the house there's still faboulousness that can be had.
Just get dressed whether u have no where to go or u wanna make a coffee run...let me know how u like it and if u notice a difference in the mood.
