It's been a while ...

Dress - Urban Outfitters
Belt - Delia's 
ocks - H&M
Boots - Steve Madden
Sweater - Vintage (Poshmark)


Hey guys! Wow, so I know it's been quite a while since my last post & I'm so sorry! I've been so busy with work and never have the time to stop and take some pictures but I'm back today & better than ever, haha. Okay so let's get started; today's my little cousin Garrett's birthday so my family and I are driving out to Philadelphia for the occasion. For today's look I wanted to wear something that was fun and edgy. I have to dress in business casual attire for work and I hardly ever get to have fun with my outfits. Today, I chose this blue velvet, long sleeve dress from Urban Outfitters. This dress makes me feel so Rock & Roll! I love the old glamour effect it has. To add to that glam rock vibe, I paired the dress with this cheetah print belt from Delia's. 



I realized the other day that I have a really big weakness : SHOES! I love all different styles but what's really been grabbing my attention lately is black short boots. Namely cutout boots. Maybe one day I'll do a post about all my boots but for today's look a threw on a pair of old ones. My Grizzle boots from Steve Madden. I loved these boots over the summer bc the cutouts allowed me to wear them even in warm weather. Now that it's cooler out the cutouts offer something even better; a chance to show off some cute funky socks! For today's look I threw on my 50 shades of blue tie dye socks from H&M. These worked great because they match the dress but still give the outfit some pop because of the tie dye.

        (Can't even see the cutouts! 😞)


It's October and so the weather usually stays in the 60's. So to keep warm I threw on this fluffy white vintage sweater I got from Poshmark. It's so cozy and warm it's like wearing a security blanket (lol).



So there it is, my outfit of the day for this beautiful October Saturday. What are you wearing?

Colder weather means chunky sweaters!!

Sweater - Vintage (bought off Poshmark)
Tank - H&M
Jeans - American Eagle Outfitters 
Boots - Joe Fresh

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?

A little bit of everything

Top- Vintage (bought off Poshmark)
Short- American Eagle Outfitters
Sneakers- Vans 106 hi (flowers drawn on by me) 


The weather has been so on and off lately, I don't even know what to wear anymore; so for today's look I just threw everything on together.

I started off with this light weight, vintage stripped top I bought from Poshmark. I love this top because its more of a cream color as opposed to white. I also love the drapey light weight fabric; makes it perfect for cool summer nights as well as warm fall days. The vertical stripes are very slimming as well.


I love the look of black & white (or cream) stripped shirts with colored pants. For my bottoms today, I chose these wine colored distressed festival shorties from AEO. These shorts are awesome for us big booty Judys with short legs because they're cut longer on front and back, and shorter up the sides giving you the appearance of longer legs while still covering you up (cheeks out is NOT a good look ladies!) 


If its not funky, it's not fun, so I wanted to add some fun to my outfit with these hi top Vans 106's. this is a really cute hi top sneaker that doesn't make your feet look bulky or chunky. I drew the yellow & orange sunflowers/daisies on myself. I love the way these look with the wine shorts and how they contrast with the strips on the top. Have fun with your outfits, playing it safe leaves everyone sorry!


And there you have it. My mixy outfit of the day. What are you wearing?

Easy on Sunday morning

Entire outfit- American Eagle outfitters


Today was my last official day at American Eagle Outfitters and it was a bit bitter sweet. We had a meeting at 7am, so the first thing I thought when I was picking out my clothes was comfort. The second thing I thought about was what style I wanted to convey today. In the end my hippie boho side won out. 
I started out with my long, flowy brunch tank from AEO. It's super soft and comfortable and has an open back. It gives off the most easy going laid back hippie vibes. I added a lace bralette from Aerie underneath since the back is open.



For my bottoms I knew right away I was going to go with my vintage wash Artist jeans, again, from AEO. These jeans have the perfect flair bottoms that aren't too wide and they sit comfortably on the hips. The fading in the thighs give it that worn vintage look and it also makes them really flattering on curvy girls with bigger thighs (like me!). I got them in the shorter length since I have short legs & it hits just at the top of my foot. They're perfect for the hippie boho look I was going for.


Although there's this stigma that black & brown should never be worn together, I feel like you could never go wrong with a pair of brown sandals. My favorites are these studded gladiators from, where else, AEO. These sandals are so comfortable! They're real leather and suede so they keep up with the hippie look as well. I've had these for years & I wear them with everything.



To finish off my look, I added this leather, floral, headband from (surprise, surprise) AEO. I absolutely love this headband because of its neutral colors and the fact that it's a tie on as opposed to elastic. You can tie it to fit exactly how you want so no headaches and no hair getting caught. I also love that it's leather so it'll last me a while.


And that's my easy going, hippie boho, outfit of the day for this Sunday. What are you wearing?
