Floral peplums and chucks

Top- American Eagle Outfitters

Jeans- GAP classic straight  

Sneakers- Converse All Stars (Chuck Taylor's)

Another gloomy rainy day. I decided for today's look I wanted to wear something that was a little girly and summery. I started out with this cute, sheer, floral print peplum top from AEO. I love this top because of floral & zip back details. It's one of those things that can be dressed up or down and the perfect transition into "girly" attire.

For my bottom, I wanted something really simple and basic; so that the top could be the forerunner of the outfit. I chose my classic straight jeans from the GAP. These are the most comfortable low rise jeans I own. They don't bunch or pinch. The dark blue ink wash is super flattering and goes with literally anything. I just cuff up the hems to make it more warm weather appropriate.

For my footwear of the day, I threw on my trusty blue Converse All Stars. These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes! I've had them since 7th grade! They're super comfortable and great for being on my feet all day. In my eyes they go with everything. 

So there you have it; my outfit of the day.

What are you wearing?

Hippie Gypsy Mermaid... Pants?

Crop top- Kirra (for PacSun)

Pants- Staring at Stars (for Urban Outiffters)

Sneakers- Converse All Stars

Bag- Journeys 

Headphones- UrbanEars

The weather is so beautiful today! On days like today, I'd usually wear a skirt or dress; but sadly, at my job, we can only wear pants (😢). I looked everywhere for a pair of pants that would be cute, light weight, flattering, NOT jeans, and were suitable for work. I ended up with these printed, super light weight harem pants by Staring at Stars for Urban Outfitters. They're so comfortable and the print is so cute for summer! They make me feel like a real Hippie Gypsy Mermaid Princess, haha. I love the high waist because it allows me to wear all the crop tops I have to work. I paired the pants with this simple black crop tee by Kirra for PacSun and my black/white chucks because I wanted the pants to be the main focus of the outfit. As always accessories are kept to the bare minimum (although I really should start wearing some jewelry or something lol).

So, what are you guys wearing on this beautiful summer day?

Fairy skirts are awesome

T-shirt- H&M

Skirt- American Eagle Outfitters 

Sneakers- Converse all stars

Rose bud crown- Urban Outfitters (ended up switching this out for a burgundy cap from H&M)

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

This is a weird day. It's kind of sunny & hot but also cloudy and cool, so it's hard to figure out what to wear. Since I'm warm blooded and am always hot, I chose to go with a warmer weather outfit. I started with this fairy skirt I bought from American Eagle. It's super cute and light weight and is also really flattering on girls with hips (hard to find!). I wanted the skirt to be the main piece so I stuck with really simple, neutral pieces for the rest; this plain white tee from H&M and my high top chucks. I also like that these two elements play down the girliness (not a real word) of the skirt. I switched out the floral crown for a snap back baseball cap from H&M in case of rain.

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?

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?

As kids, we like to play dress up. We pretend to be princesses or superheroes and it's a really fun time; but who says dress up is only for kids? I love dressing up! While I stick to being myself, I still love enjoy the fun there is to be had in putting on a bunch of different outfits and seeing what looks good and what doesn't. This is perfect way to see what pieces in your closest look good together. It's also a good way to see what still fits and what doesn't if you need to downsize. So next time you're bored at home go ahead & do some dressing up :)
