Fall hasn't even started yet and it's already getting cold out! I can't lie, I'm so excited for boots, chunky sweaters and scarves. For today's look I wanted just that, a chunky sweater and some boots (not quite scarf weather yet). I started out with this super cute, white chunkyvintage  sweater I got from Poshmark. It's so warm and cozy & feels like home. I threw on this black & white stripped tank from H&M underneath. 


For my bottoms I wanted something comfortable (as always). I threw on these new hi rise skinny jeans from AEO. Hi rise waist lines were the best things that ever happened t AEO. They're so comfortable and fit perfectly on girls who are a little more bottom heavy. The wash on these jeans are a really nice light wash for fall as well.


Like I said, I'm so excited for boots! For today's look, I wore my new, classic black leather boots from Joe Fresh. Thanks to my mommy, I have THE perfect pair of boots! These go with everything and are (of course) really comfy. 


And there you have it. My ootd. What are you wearing?

No work on the weekends

Sweater - LA Hearts for PacSun
Jeans - American Eagle Outfitters
Boots - Steven Madden, Grizzle boot


It's the weekend and I'm so excited! No work, shopping with my mom, movies last night. I love not working on the weekends! Today I'm headed to the MMA gym with the boys so I wanted to wear something cute and comfortable (what's new). I started out with this LA Hearts sweater from PacSun. This sweater is SO soft and comfortable! I love the neutral color and the cut out shoulders make it modern and keep it from looking too casual. 



For my bottoms, I, again, wanted something that was both super cute and comfortable. 
*Can I just stop right here for a sec and say that no matter how cute your clothes are, if you're not comfortable, it's not cute.* 
These boyfit jeans from AEO are the BEST jeans ever. They're a loose fit but aren't baggy, and they have a bunch of cute details like distressing and hidden patchwork. If you're a girly girl looking for some looser fit jeans, these would be perfect for you! You can also roll them up to make them a little more chic, or down for a laid back look.



Since the top half of my outfit is a little more on the casual side, I added my Steven Madden Grizzle boots to dress up the look. These boot are awesome because they can little take any outfit from drab to fab (did I really just say that?) I once wore them with sweats and a tank & it looked great! Haha. They have a low heel, cute cut outs, and silver hardware that make them perfect for literally any occasion. They're also real leather, so after a while they get that distressed look that's just perfect. 



To add a pop of color to my outfit, I'm using my vintage hunter green Coach bag. This bag is from the late 80's early 90's so it's just as old as I am. The color is perfect for fall and it holds all my stuff nicely. 


So there it is, my ootd for this lovely Saturday. What are you wearing?

It's Saturday and I am ecstatic!

Plaid shirt- GAP (the boyfs shirt :D)
Tank- Urban Outfitters
Jeans- American Eagle Outfitters
Boots- Dr Martens, 1460 vegan boot
Belt & Socks- H&M



Just ended my first week at my new office job and whoo, that was a lot to take in. I survived and now it's time for the weekend! Having to wear "business attire" to work is really cramping my personal style, so I'm so glad I'm able to wear what I want on the weekends.
I started out with my boyfriends plaid shirt from the GAP. I LOVE this shirt, it's so comfortable and cozy & always smells like him. I wanted to mix some prints so I added a camouflage tank underneath.


Oh how I missed wearing jeans. For today's look I wanted something fitted and classic since I'm wearing something loose and kinda funky on top. I went with these vintage wash jeggings from AEO. These are the best jeans ever! They hug in all the right places are are the perfect length. Definitely recommend for any curvy girls looking for good skinny jeans. Paired them with my favorite burgundy belt from H&M.


Boots! It's finally that time of year when boots can be an everyday thing. For today's look I wanted to wear my vegan Docs. I could live in these boots forever. Because they're vegan, they're super soft straight out of the box (so no blisters trying to break them in). They have this candied apple color that literally goes with everything. They make me feel like a badass (haha). I paired them with my favorite ruffle socks from H&M. 


And there you have it. My "weekends are the best because I can wear what I want" ootd. What are you wearing?

Blue skies smiling at me :)

Cardigan & top- H&M
Short- American Apparel cutoffs (cut by myself :))
Knee Highs- Urban Outfitters
Boots- Vegan Dr Martens, 1460 boot


The weather has SO perfect these past few days. It's that kind of weather whee you can wear whatever you want an still feel comfortable. For today's look I wanted to add little elements of summer and fall since we're still in transition between those two seasons. I started off with my cutoff shorts from American Apparel. I love these shorts because they're truly high waisted pants; I also love that, since I cut them myself, the length is appropriate for any occasion since you can roll the cuff up or down.


I will only wear crop tops with these shorts! They're the perfect way to accentuate the waist. For today's look I chose this razor back crop tank from H&M. This tank is super comfy & has cut neon yellow accents at the seams. I love that it's super fitted because I don't have to wear a bra with it, haha (braless hippies UNITE!). I threw this grey knit cardigan from H&M over because its a little chilly and to add my first fall element to the look.


For my foot wear of the day, I wanted to wear my new vegan Dr Martens. I love love love these boots because the material they used to make them (synthetic leather) is super soft so breaking them in was a breeze. I also love the candied apple finish they've got going on. I paired these with my black knee highs because 1. like I said, it's chilly, 2. wearing low socks with docs causes rubbing and it hurts and it's just not fun and 3. to add another fall element to my look.


And there you have it. My summer meets fall outfit of the day. What are you wearing?

Labor Day ... So why am I working?

Top- H&M
Jeans- American Eagle Outfitters
Shoes- Keds 
Accessories- Rainbow loom bracelets!


Today is Labor Day; which means nothing to me because I still have to work; but at least I get time and a half (haha). So for today look I wanted something light weight & comfortable because the weather has been so crappy. Think gray skies with massive amounts of humidity with no breeze. 
I started out with this super light weight top from H&M. I love that this top has this water color/tie dye thing going on that kind of makes it look like the gloomy gray skies we've been having. The flowy fabric allows for breathability which is perfect for days like today when the humidity can be suffocating. 

 
I'm so tried of shorts I can't even begin to explain it; So although it's pretty hot, I decided to wear jeans. I chose my black stone wash destroyed jeggings from AEO. I love these jeans because they're so soft and comfortable it (almost) feels like you're not wearing pants. The rips in them also allows air to flow through which is good enough for me. I rolled the cuffs up for a more cropped/warm weather look.


As you know, I love to add pops of color, mix prints, color block, etc. So for my footwear of the day I chose my colorful floral Keds. These are a cute twist and the classic shoe. They're really comfortable, perfect for someone who's on their feet all day like me. I also like how they contrast with my gloomy sky top and add a bit of summer to my otherwise monochromatic outfit.


I spent the day with my Dad & my siblings yesterday and my brother and I made a TON of Rainbow Loom bracelets. My sisters friend also made me this super cute complicated one that I could t even begin to tell to the name of. I decided to throw some on today to add some more color. I also have on my friendship bracelet (of course).


And there you have it. My Labor Day ootd. What are you wearing?
