BLACK OUT

CAMO X CHEVRON

We all have those days where our hair just doesn't fall the way we want. Days like that make me thankful for beanies! I felt pretty casual but still like I was letting my style shine through. I've had this little dress for a while now and it's perfect for just a lazy day of hanging out downtown with friends. I'm also a little obsessed with these round sunnies I found at Nordstroms (thanks Aunt Rose and Aunt Laura!)

Outfit Details:

Chevron dress - Target (similar)

Camo vest - Bycorpus (similar)

Shoes - Dolce Vita

Beanie - American Apparel

Sunglasses - Fantas-eyes by Nordstroms 

I also wanted to thank this babe for snapping these outfit photos of me. I couldn't help but to take a few pics of her. I love her black and blue theme, and her cute little floral sneakers are just perfect.

Thanks Sar :)

FEATURE FRIDAY: KAYLA & JOE

Hey everyone! Black In Bloom has decided to do "Feature Friday" each week to showcase your unique style! While we love bringing you posts of our personal style, we also want to share all of yours. We are excited to have Kayla and Joe be our first post for Feature Friday! If you're interested in being a part of this, please reach out to us and comment or email. We'd love to hear from you!

"When we first started dating we went out for
Chinese. I didn't get a fortune in my cookie, but Joe's had two fortunes in his. They said, ‘You and your wife will be happy in your life,' how crazy is that?!" - Kayla

"We work together at a local coffee shop. One time we closed together on Halloween and dressed up as Popeye and Olive Oil" –Joe

"Yeah! That was a lot of fun!"- Kayla

"I'd say my style is 'punk weekend dad'"- Joe

"Haha! He wears this denim jacket a lot. He also has a varsity jacket and a few others. He loves jackets!" - Kayla

"I love this cardigan. It's my favorite!" - Kayla

"I wear these boots a lot. They're such a great pair!" - Joe

What we love about Kayla and Joe is their ability to not only be a cute couple, but to also be true to their own sense of style. Joe kept his outfit casual, but still interesting with the little details like his Docs, hat and denim coat. Kayla was able to make this frigid day look not so bad with her cute knit head band, knee highs, and fisherman cardigan. We love how they look paired next to each other because both outfits are able to compliment one another.

We are so pumped to have had Joe and Kayla be our first Feature Friday post! We can't wait to bring you another next week. If you're interested, let us know! :)

WINTERGREEN // SUNDAY

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a few days since we last posted. My last spring semester just started and things have been a bit crazy, but I wanted to bring you all an outfit post. Danny and our two friends, Chris and Colin, headed out to Wintergreen Lake today in Hamden. It was frigid outside, hence my all black tundra outfit (take that cold!). I wanted to show you how cold days can still be dress-cute days. Denim definitely helps beat the windchill along with a down coat and beanie. I also wore my convertible gloves because they give my hands some more freedom. If you live in a cold state (or are just a victim of these arctic blasts), I encourage you to go out! Even if it's just for a bit. Lipstick included.

Scarf- Urban Outfitters (here)

Jacket- Betsy Johnson (similar)

Gloves- Gift from my sissy <3
