Another scorcher!

Shirt dress- H&M
Sneakers- Converse, all stars

************************************

Today's another hot one! And of course, I have work again. Like I said in my last post, dressing appropriately for the weather while still being work appropriate is sometimes I tough task. For today's look I chose this modest length shirt dress from H&M. A shirt dress is really great for any occasion because you can dress it up or down. Mine already has a casual vibe because of the cherry print! (So cute!). I added my high-top chucks to give this almost girly look a edgier feel. Perfect look for work. What are you guys wearing today?

Man it's HOT!

Crop top- Kylie & Kendall for Pacsun
Skirt- Aerie
Sandals- American Eagle Outfitters

************************************

Woo, today is a hot one! It's sometimes hard to find a weather appropriate look that's also work appropriate. For this look I really wanted to wear this crop top so I paired it with this semi see through higher waisted skirt. It's going to keep me cool while also not being too revealing. I finished the look off with these leather gladiator sandals from AEO. What do you guys wear to work when it's hot out?

First official day at Journeys!

Jacket- vintage Army jacket (stepdads)
T-shirt- Brandy Melville 
Jeans- American Eagle Outfitters
Belt- H&M
Sneakers- Vans, classics 

****************************************

So today I start my new job at Journeys! I'm so excited & a little nervous. I wanted to keep my look simple & comfortable so I decided on this super soft short sleeves tee from Brandy Melville & paired it with my faded black jeans from AE. I wanted to add a little pop of color so I added this aqua belt from H&M (only $5!). To finish off the look with a little more color blocking, I threw on my old beat up maroon Vans. Added my stepdads old army jacket bc it's just a little bit chilly outside. So there we have it. My causal, comfortable, simple, cool look for my first day at Journeys. Wish me luck!

It's raining & I wore a dress

Dress- Urban Outfitters
Boots- Zara

**********************************
Not much to say about today's look. Threw on this simple red floral Kimichi Blue dress from Urban Outfitters to brighten up this gloomy rainy day. Paired that with my plain black Oxford boots from Zara. What do your rainy day outfits look like?

Memorial Day!

Plaid top- H&M
Crop top- Brandy Melville 
Cut offs- American Apparel
Sandals- American Eagle Outiffers

**************************************

Happy Memorial Day! For today's look I wanted to keep it easy & simple, since I'm going to be out of the house most of the day. It's warm today so I paired some American Apparel high waisted jeans that I cut into shorts with a crop tank from Brandy Melville. I threw on this sheer really light weight plaid button down from H&M to give the outfit some balance. Finished the look off with these studded brown leather sandals from AEO. What are you wearing this Memorial Day?

It's SATURDAY and I'm wearing SHORTS

Sweater- H&M
T-shirt & shorts- Urban Outfitters
Tights- Asos
Boots- Dr Martens, Luana boot


*******************************************
I love a good crop top & high waisted shorts combo; but there's something about wearing a loose fitting, cover it all up boyfriend tee with a pair of high waisted shorties that I find perfect. It's like just the right balance of casual cool & sexy. Today I wore my high waisted shorties with a color striped tee, both from Urban, my Dr martens & some black opaque tights. I threw on a blue chunky cardigan to add some volume & bc it's chilly out (so unfortunate since its almost June!) but what can you do. 
How would you wear your high waisted shorts & bf tees?

Prepster in an Oxford

Oxford & jeans- American Eagle
Sneakers- my favorite blue low top Converse all stars from 7th grade :)


*******************************************

Oxford shirts, in my opinion, are the best shirts ever. They're practically unisex (depending on the cut) they're versatile, flattering, and they come in so many different shapes sizes and colors you're bound to find a few that you love. And they're  not just for work as some of you may think; they're totally appropriate For any occasion. Its all about how you wear it. The Oxford I'm wearing today is a mens, green pinstriped piece from AE. It's so comfortable & breathable. Since this is a men's shirt, it's really structured and has nice clean lines. To balance that out I paired it with some ripped jeans & beat up chucks. The green of the shirt & the blue of the Converse compliment each other so well. Since I'm just going to work I kept my outfit simple, but you can go so much farther with this look. I think it'd look really good with a chunky gold necklace and some arm candy. How will you dress up (or down) your Oxford shirts?

Spring is always a beautiful time of year. Everything's coming back to life, the weather warms up, people seem to be happier; but along with all the good stuff comes the rainy, gloomy days. Your allergies are acting up, you don't know what to wear because its warm but also kind of chilly (and you don't want to get wet) your hair frizzes up & you just really don't want to leave your bed. 
Today is one of those days for me. So for my outfit I kept it pretty simple. A t-shirt and some jeans. There are A MILLION different ways to wear a t-shirt & jeans and one day, I promise, I'll show you a few. I wore my navy blue tee & light wash bf jeans with my red Vans because I'm a sucker for any red white & blue combo. I threw on this really cute printed scarf just to add a pop of color & give the eye somewhere to linger. 
So that's my look for today. Not my best it certainly not my worst, haha. Hope you all have a good one ✌

Cool & casual

Top- American Eagle
Pants- Forever21
Sneakers- Vans, low pro 

*******************************
It's getting warmer! And with that warmth comes the on going battle of what's appropriate for work. I work at American Eagle, so it's not such an ordeal finding what to wear for work. For today, I wanted a look that kept me cool (it's going to reach close to 80 degrees today!) and was also modest & good for work. I chose this really light weight, white cotton button up from AE. It's really breathable and has a cute little keyhole in the back (I should've taken a pic!!). For the bottoms I threw on these really cute, also lightweight slacks from Forever21. The floral print, zippers, and string belt on these are so cute & keep them from looking dated. I threw on my red Vans for shoes to keep from looking too dressy. And there you go, cool & casual, done my way :)

Happy Mothers Day everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the day with the women who brought you into this world, raised you, or are just always there for you.

Easy Day to Night

Dress- Urban Outfitters
Sweater- Brandy Melville
Boots- Dr Martens, Luana boot
Sunnies- H&M


************************************
Finally some warm sunny weather! 
After 2 days of rain here in the big apple, I can finally pull out a dress & some sunnies & call it a day. This dress from Urban Outfitters is so comfortable! It's a dropped empire waist, which is really roomy & loose and 100% rayon, so it's light weight & airy. While it will be in the 70's/80's today, tonight, which is when I get out of work, will be about 15 degrees cooler. For that time, I threw on this light weight sweater from Brandy Melville. It has cut outs in the back & is also made of rayon so it's great to layer. This is such an easy & simple way to take an outfit from day to night. Just throw a light sweater over & you're good to go! :)

Shopping day :D

Hat- GAP
Sweater & thigh highs- H&M
Dress- Brandy Melville
Socks- Delia's
Boots- Dr Martens, Luana boot


*********************************
Happy Mexican Independence Day! I hope everyone has a fun & safe time. I'm spending today shopping with my mom and sister so I wanted to throw on something fun and easy. This is one of my favorite looks because it's so interchangeable. If it gets warmer I can pull off the thigh highs, hat or sweater to make it a warmer weather outfit. It's all about layering.

Work now. Party later!

Denim shirt- American Eagle (dip dyed by me)
Tube top- Aerie
Pants- H&M
Sandals- Forever21

************************************

It's such a beautiful day! Unfortunately for me, I have work :(
So to help cheer me up, I wore my favorite denim shirt! Denim shirts are great because you can dress them up or down. They're thick enough to wear as a shirt by itself but also light enough to wear over another shirt as a jacket. Never a plain Jane, I dip dyed mine in a pot of bleach until the bottom reached the perfect shade of yellow, the top still dark blue & the middle a nice swirl of the two.
After work I'm heading to a BBQ, and this outfit also works great for that day to night look, all I have to do is uncuff the sleeves of my shirt & roll down my pants & I'm ready for that night time cool down.
What's your favorite denim shirt look? :)

Sunny day, sunny shoes, sunny Joslynn

Cardigan- Aerie
Top- H&M
Jeans- American Eagle
Shoes- GAP


********************************

The weather is getting so much nicer here in New York. The sun is bright & shining & the sky is a beautiful clear blue; I wanted today's outfit to reflect that. I kept it simple with a plain beige, light weight cardigan from Aerie, a pretty bright blue hi-low top from H&M, and basic blue jeans from American Eagle. I played up the bright colors of this sunny day in my shoes; a pair of colorfully striped espadrilles from the GAP. Bright sunny days make me happy. Getting to dress for this weather makes me even happier :)
