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?

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.

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?

My sister graduated high school & I'm old

Jumpsuit- Urban Outiftters 
Shoes & Sweater- H&M 

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

Wow, my baby sister graduated high school on Monday (6/24/13)! I can't believe she's all grown up, I feel so old! Haha, anyway, for her graduation, I wanted to wear something really fun & cute. I was originally going for a dress but when I saw this jumpsuit I couldn't pass it up. It's long & flowy & very hippie chic (just my style!). I also loved the cut out in the front. It gives it a flirty appeal without being too revealing. The floral print is perfect for summer as well. I wanted the jumpsuit to be the stand out piece of this outfit so I paired it with these strappy wedges from H&M. I love these because they're so versatile and are also really comfortable and easy to walk in. I brought along the knit sweater from H&M for when I'm in the air conditioned auditorium and restaurant. Let me know you guys think of my graduation look! 😊

All American

Crop top- American Eagle Outfitters
Cutoffs- American Apparel 
Sneakers- Keds
Leather bracelets- Libeskind
Sunglasses- Vans

***************************************
Today's the 2nd day of summer! For today's look, I wanted something all American & classic. I threw on this maroon & white striped crop top from AEO & paired it with these cutoffs (that I actually cut myself) from American Apparel. I chose to wear my floral Keds with this look since Keds are a classic shoe, but the floral print adds an up to date fun touch. I said I was going to start adding accessories and I did! I'm wearing these 2 made into 1 bracelets from Libeskind to add an extra pop of color and these tortuous shell with teal accents sunglasses by Vans. Sun a fun look to put together. What are you all wearing today?
