CLUSE: “Timepieces that aspire to be part of people who are conscious about their style.”

What do you think of watches? Do you like wearing them?! I do. To me, a watch is the best accessory to any outfit. A watch will always be timeless; a classic and sophisticated way to tell you what time it is. We live in a generation where we tend to use our cell phones for pretty much anything, including time. But not me. I prefer an actual wrist watch, such as my new CLUSE watch.

CLUSE, known for finding beauty in simplicity, is everything I look for in a watch. I love minimalistic watches, not bold watches that distract you from its original purpose of telling you what time it is. I like my watches being minimalistic, elegant and sophisticated which CLUSE all represents, and more.

I’m wearing the “La Bohème Mesh Rose Gold Watch” in white and black. And guess what?! It can be yours too! I’m excited to announce that I’ve teamed up with CLUSE to give one (1) lucky winner the chance to win a watch of your choice!

All you have to do is enter via the Rafflecopter below, and be sure to follow CLUSE and What Would V Wear on Instagram and Facebook. Giveaway ends April 1.

Good luck!

I’ve always dreamed big, and I can only encourage you do the same. Becoming a digital publisher has opened many exciting doors, but more importantly it has helped me grow. I started my blog almost two years ago, and I’m not exeggerating when I say that I’ve come a long way.

I started with a simple free template blog from WordPress in 2014. After four months of blogging I knew that I needed to upgrade my blog, but I did not quite want to pay someone to do that for me. Hence I purchased a web design online, and custom designed it all myself – from fonts, colors, social buttons and my logo. And let me tell you: During that time I learned a whole lot about HTML and coding. Something a blogger should definitely be familiar with.

Fast forward to 2016, after 1 1/2 years of blogging, I decided to quit my full-time corporate job in January 2016 to pursue digital publishing full-time. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life next to becoming a mother. I feel so blessed to do what I love for a living, and truly: If I can do it, so can you! Simply believe in yourself, and become a member of Fohrcard’s Quitters Club yourself!

Work hard and DREAM BIG!

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Tuesday!

Versatility

“I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.” – Archie Panjabi

One thing I love about fashion is how versatile it actually is. There’s nothing I enjoy more but playing with fashion. My style is ever-evolving;  it’s hard for me to describe my style in just a few words, however, ever-evolving is spot on. Fashion trends come and go, and I’ve learned over the years that it’s not so much about trends but about knowing how to dress. It’s important to know what flatters your body type, and what doesn’t. Once you’ve figured that out the fun can begin!

For instance, I never thought I’d wear a backpack with a midi dress but the dress in itself is so flattering and somewhat edgy. The backpack was the perfect addition to this dress, and it also gives it somewhat of a surprise factor. You see, I like to surprise myself every once in a while, too. My husband and son love the backpack – which is probably due the fact that they have never seen me wearing one – but there’s is always a first, and I bet that this won’t be the last time.

After all, I like playing with fashion.

As always, thanks so much for reading and have a fabulous Monday!

Much love, always.

Fact: YMI Denim will never go out of style.

Spring is slowly making its way to Chicago, and what’s better to celebrate the warmer weather in an all denim outfit? A good pair of denim is timeless — hence I’m always on the look out for a brand that delivers just that. Timeless jeans, consisting of quality and innovation.

YMI Jeans is a denim brand I’ve recently discovered, and I must admit: I’ve fallen in love with YMI. My denims, i.e. jeggings are super soft, and stretchy! They feel like leggings but have the look and feel of denims. Who does’t love that?!

I’ve paired my jeggings with a tie-front crop top to create a retro touch to my look. I feel very 50s glam, a fashion period I very much adore. And guess what?! My husband even complimented me on this outfit. He is most definitely my fashion police, I swear. He has made quite the comments over the last year. Some funny, strange…and sweet comments. But what can I tell you?! He is my husband, photographer and partner in crime.

As always, thanks so much for reading and don’t forget to check out YMI Jeans HERE for some amazing denim deals!

Have a fabulous weekend, and much love!

Spring is slowly approaching in Chicago, and I couldn’t be happier! There are many reasons why I get excited about Spring: Think lighter clothes and tulips blooming everywhere! Spring is the season most people look forward to, like a promise of good things to come, or the Eva Mendes New Spring Collection for NY & Company.

I’ve been a fan of NY & Company for as long as I can remember. While NY & Company is known for wear-to-work clothing, the Eva Mendes Spring Collection gives you feminine dresses, as well as midi skirts with lots of fabulous prints! I’m wearing Eva’s Del Mar Strapless Dress. I love the exotic floral print which is one of Eva’s key motifs this season. It’s elegant and very feminine.

I wore this dress to a coffee date with my husband. We’ve been spending a lot of time in Evanston lately – it’s a beautiful town not too far from where we live. It has the most amazing coffee shops, and it’s the perfect city to simply walk around in without having to fight the crowds. Downtown Chicago will always be my favorite city but sometimes I crave more low-key adventures. It’s much more relaxing and it gives you the chance to simply watch the world go by while enjoying a cafe latte.

How about you? What excites you about Spring?

As always, I would love to hear from you and thanks so much for reading!

Much love.
