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 :)

Dress- Forever21
Boots- Dr. Martens, Luana boot


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

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. I've spent the day with my mama & sister, shopping, & now seeing The Great Gatsby (I'll let you know how it is!). I chose this outfit bc it's easy, simple, comfortable and cute! I love the low back & bow details on this Forever21 dress. i threw on my favorite boots to add just the right amount of edge. What did you wear this Mommy's day?

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 :)
