How to Style a Beret

Today's post is all about the beret!  I was having a bad hair day this particular day and so I opted to "fix" it by adding this beret to my outfit.  Of course, it is in my favorite color PINK!!  I wanted the focus to be on the wool hat so I kept the base of my outfit all neutral.  Black and white will always reign as classic and chic in my book.  

I scored this classic button up in black from Gabe's.  It's a Lane Bryant blouse that retailed for around $55.  *Gasps* Of course, my price was only $5.  Gabe's is known for selling items at unbelievably huge discounts.  I am in heaven everytime I walk in this store!!  Some items are slightly irregular, but in my opinion, they're hardly noticeable.  Maybe a seam not sewn as tight or the cut of the size may be slightly off.  

My skirt is suuuuper old.  Old Navy had a sale and I purchased it for around $12, I think.  I also purchased these booties from Gabe's that retail for around $90.  My price...$20. Yeees!!  Total cost of my outfit $37! If that ain't winning, I don't know what is...lol.  I'm all for looking chic and well put together for pennies on the dollar.  I prefer to spend my coins on things that are more meaningful to me such as a vacation...that I'm currently in need of...on an island somewhere with cocktail in hand and a good book...*le sigh*.  Wishful thinking.,,,anywho, hope you enjoyed this post.  If it has inspired you in any way, please feel free to leave a comment, +1, share on Facebook or Twitter.  As always until next time...

Peace and love,
xoxo Kishina xoxo

  2. I have a black and white striped skirt similar to yours, so I love seeing when other bloggers style it differently than I have... that black blouse is so pretty and looks shiny and your pink beret is perfect!

  4. You look very Parisian of the black and white and the beret. When I was in Catholic school (a very long time ago), we had to wear a beret to church as part of my uniform. Since then, I have not worn a beret. I think I need to give them a try again.

    Thank you for joining TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you this Thursday.
