We Aim To Slay

For the first #SevenDaysOfSLAY of 2025, I’ll be sharing some work-appropriate ways to stay warm and stylish, all winter long! Let’s get into it!

Monday

Starting off the week, I’m channeling the #CorporateGoth trend by pairing these labelless pleather leggings with a black and white plaid shirt from SheIn, and this black blazer from the brand Theory. Because we’re battling the cold and damp weather, I’ve opted for my trusted Doc Martens boots which I’ve styled with an “artfully folded” pair of knee high socks. 

For accessories, I continued my #CorporateGoth energy by pulling my hair back with a black ribbon tied in a bow, and some simple earrings – a small pair of gold star-shaped hoops from Temu, a set of pearl studs, and a pair of silver hoops.

Tuesday

This dress is one of my favorite TJ Maxx finds! This body con, knee length, long sleeved dress is olive green and features gold stud accents on the cuffs and along the slit. To take the dress from Autumn to Winter I’ve paired it with a houndstooth moto jacket by Ashley by 26 International Outerwear. 

The jacket is primarily black and white, but also has a bit of yellow which pairs nicely with the gold accents on the dress and my accessories – a rhinestone and gold link collar necklace from Renee’s Resale, the Temu star hoops, the pearl studs, and a pair of gold hoops. I completed my look with a pair of black suede booties, and by pulling my hair back into a simple and low bun. 

Wednesday

Don’t let the winter blues get you down – we can still style our favorite skirts even when there’s snow! Several years ago, I acquired a pair of footless tights that function more like a legging, which adds a layer of insulation. I tucked these tights into a pair of grey socks that have a lacy boot cover and paired them with this pair of white quilted booties by Guess.

The outfit proper consists of my go-to, maroon pleated skirt from Shein and an off-white knit sweater with a cowl neck by the brand Sweet & Sinful. To finish off the look I added a light grey, vintage duster (this used to be my grandmother’s coat!) by the brand J. Gallery, the Temu star earrings, pearl studs, and one of my favorite pairs of Saga Jewels earrings!

Thursday

Similar to my “Styling Little Black Dresses” video, I started this outfit with a body con dress from Forever 21 but this one is maroon. I layered it beneath my tried and true black velvet skirt by the brand Notations and the houndstooth print moto jacket by Ashley by 26 International Outerwear. Accessories included a pair of black suede booties that I got from Plato’s Closet, the rhinestone snake belt from SheIn, the Temu star earrings, pearl studs, and the snake style earrings from Saga Jewels!

Friday

I’m channeling the casual Friday vibes by pulling these dark plaid, SheIn trousers out of the closet to pair with the bright blue cashmere sweater by Max Studio! I added an aspect of professionalism by layering a white button down beneath the sweater, but kept it casual with my Doc Martens and a big bun!

Saturday 

For a casual day of running errands and spending time with my family, I paired a pair of Fashion Nova skinny jeans with a burnt orange sweater by the brand Luxxel, that features an asymmetrical neckline. To keep warm while out and about, I threw on my Chico’s leather jacket and my Doc Martens, finishing off the look with a low bun and gold hoop earrings. 

Sunday

For a relaxing Sunday at home with my dog, Dante, I decided to keep it simple and comfortable! I paired my 90 Degree by Reflex (available on Amazon) legging with a knit and cropped tank top from Shein. I topped it off with my Hot Topic moon phase cardigan, a pair of knee high socks, my leopard print cashmere scarf, and a pair of gold hoop earrings.
