Dressy Fall Look featuring BCBG Maxazria Dress

Good afternoon guys! Seeing as the weather where I am at has been all over the place temperature wise I thought I would feature a look that was a bit more geared toward moderate fall temperatures. This dress from BCBG Maxazria that I found at a thrift shop in NYC during my trip in September is the perfect center piece to build an outfit for fall. Not only is the green a more fall appropriate earth tone but the weight of the dress makes it easier to add layers. On the day I shot this look, the weather was a bit warmer so all I needed to do was add a denim crop and I was good to go but I could have just as easily added a trench coat, and tall brown boots to warm up the look a bit had the weather called for it. 

Dress: BCBG Maxazria

Shoes: Manolo Blahnik

Clutch: Ecote

Denim Crop Jacket: Rue 21

* It is also worth noting that this entire outfit is Thrifted!!*

As always thanks again to Colin for taking such awesome pictures! Your help and support is always appreciated! 

Early Autumn Look featuring vintage Oscar de la Renta Blouse

Hey sassy followers! For today's look I wanted to feature something a bit more fall appropriate seeing as it is already October! ( Where did the time go?)  I feel like the weather here in North Carolina is not quite as cool as one would expect for fall but we are well on our way to cooler days. I felt like this look featuring this vintage Oscar de la Renta blouse was perfect for days where the whether is more on the mild side. The blouse itself is pretty sheer but with this denim vest ( also vintage) from County Seat layered over it the top becomes a bit more cool weather ready. My favorite part about this blouse is the lace detailing in the middle and along the neck and sleeves. I feel like these bohemian details are very on trend right now and also a great way to make fall looks more feminine. The jeans are great for one of those early fall days that are not quite cold enough for full length pants but is still too chilly for shorts. I also really enjoy the frayed hem and button fly on these ones from bebe. ( I just wish they were a little bit higher cut!) 

So, what do you all think? What are some of your favorite trends for fall? Personally, I have really been looking forward to creating more creative outfits using some of the vintage pieces I have tucked away in my closet! 

Stay tuned for more looks and have a great weekend!

Urban Chic

Hey guys! I figured I would end this look book with a different kind of look. As many of you know I am a huge Adidas fan. I love the look of most of their gear and most importantly the steps they are continuously taking as a company to conduct business as ethically and transparently as possible. While it is true that they still have some work to do in this area Adidas has been stepping up their game and is much better than many other athletic brands. ( For more info refer to the links at the end of the post.) 

I really wanted to create a more athleisure look with these Adidas sweatpants and wedge sneakers. I decided to pair the look with this crop top and pop on a track jacket as well. I would say that this look could easily transition into fall especially in warm areas.

So, what do you guys think of the look? I feel like it has some urban, hip hop vibes going on hence the title of the post.

Nothing but Blue Skies

  Hey there Stash of Sass let us continue our refusal to except that summer is fading and fall is quickly approaching with yet another summer look! ( For those of you who like fall fashion and think I'm crazy I added a jacket to this look. There, are ya happy now? I'm slowly admitting that there will soon be a need for one. Key word here is slowly.) I have had this dress from bebe in my closet for about six years now and I always find myself grabbing it to match with a pair of wedges or heels during the warmer months. It is because it has been such a summer staple that I chose to feature it in this little look book series. The wedges are from Yves Saint Laurent and are the most comfortable wedges I own. Maybe it is because of that comfort that I was finally able to let go a bit in front of the camera and have fun with this shoot. ( Not that the other shoots weren't fun but I just felt like this time around I was more natural in front of the camera.) I in no shape, way or form claim to be an outstanding model but I think the shots from this shoot are kind of fun.   Hopeful you guys agree. 

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Summer Goddess

Hello sassy people of the world. Some of you already know this but as far as I'm concerned when it come to climate the warmer the better. ( No, this is not in reference to global warming or climate change or what ever everyone is calling these days. I am not a fan of that! I'm talking season and weather people!) Therefore as summer begins to come to a close here on the east coast I find myself holding on tight to the last days of summer. While everyone else is excited about new fall candles, pumpkin themed coffee beverages, fall fashion and cooler weather I am still rocking my summer dresses and pretending like fall is still a few months away. (Seriously guys, I'm in denial. I was sad it was raining today and I couldn't go lay out by the pool. Clearly I'm still in a summer state of mind.) So in honor of my denial of fall these next few post will feature looks that are still very summerish for those of you who are like minded and see no reason to switch your wardrobe over to fall just yet. 

With this in mind I felt like it was best to start this end of summer ( it hurt to write that!) series with a bold, bright look that screams summer. (Hence the title Summer Goddess. No, I'm not that arrogant. I'm not insinuating that I look like a goddess just that the goddess theme inspired the outfit.) I love how this dress looks so dramatic but feels comfortable and the strappy glitter heels match the theme perfectly!

So, what do you guys think? Is everyone to quick to move on to fall or is it well deserved? Also let me know if you guys would like me to film a make up tutorial for this look!
