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?

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?

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.

Am I living in Seattle or .... ?

Top & jeans- American Eagle Outfitters
Sneakers- Vans Authentics
Headband- Forever21
Belt- H&M


So today is ANOTHER rainy day and I decided to keep my outfit as simple as possible. I started out with this sleeveless chambray button up/down from AEO. I love this too because its super comfortable and soft (literally feels like your most comfy pjs) but its still polished and fashion forward. I love the two little pocket details as well.


For my bottoms, although I usually wear these with crop tops, I chose my high rise black jeggings from AEO. I love these because they're not truly at your waist (high rise not high waisted) so you can wear them with so many different things. They're also really comfortable because they have a good amount of stretch in them. I threw on my tribal print belt from H&M to help hold them up (small waist problems haha). 


Because I would die without color blocking, I threw on my Port Wine authentic Vans. These are my FAVORITE sneakers ever! I've just about run them to the ground but as long as they stay on, I'll wear them. Seriously if you don't have a pair of authentic Vans, you're missing out! They're really versatile and can be worn with literally anything; dresses, shorts, skirts, jeans, sweats, ANYTHING!  


It's raining. Rain and curly hair DO NOT mix. I wanted to do an up do, so I just twist back the front of my hair, put it up in a low bun, and threw on this super cute bicycle print retro headband from Forever21.


And voila, my look for this dreary rainy day. What are you wearing?




Running errands is a drag (8/18)

Dress- H&M
Boots- Steve Madden 
Accessories- Spider charm bracelet from Mexico & friendship bracelet from Brazil 


Today's my day off & I'm off to run some errands. I wanted to keep my outfit simple & easy. I started with this super cute, cherry print shirt dress from H&M. This dress is one of my favorites because its really flattering on my figure. The cinched waist & cut accentuate my smaller waist, while the collar & looser hem balance out my bigger top & bottom. The cherry print is so retro cool, I love it. It's also light weight & breathes.


For my shoes I wanted something a little edgier since my dress is so girly & sweet. I chose my Steve Madden cutout booties. They have this rocker look with buckles & a small heel & they make me feel like a bad ass (haha).


Lastly, for my accessories I kept it simple with my everyday arm candy. My spider charm bracelet my boyfriends sisters got me from Mexico & a friendship bracelet this Brazilian tourist I met gave me. I never take these off because 1. they were really sweet gifts and 2. because they're tied onto my arm (haha again).


So that's my easy going, simple outfit for today. What are you wearing?

Rainy daze

Top- Kierra for PacSun 
Skirt & bangles- American Eagle Outfitters 
Thing highs- H&M
Boots- Zara
Headband & hair tie- Free People


I know on Sunday I said it was my last day at American Eagle but ... It wasn't. They actually called and asked if I wanted to work 2 extra days & I thought why not. So I'm working today & Thursday will be my last day. 
For today's look I wanted something a little sassy & just a twinge sexy but still work appropriate. I started off with my black crop tee from PacSun. I love this tee because its a bit longer than most crop tees in both the body & the sleeves. 


Next I put on my high waisted pleated chambray skirt from AEO. I love this skirt because its super soft and comfortable & gives off that sexy school girl vibe because of the pleats. The length is totally work appropriate & the high waist allows me to wear crop tops. It's my favorite skirt.


Since its raining the weathers a little cooler than normal so I wanted to add tights to my outfit. Instead of the regular run of the mill black tights, I decided to put on these lace detailed thigh highs from H&M. I absolutely love these because they add sexiness to any outfit! The lace is just covered by the skirt so you get little peeks of it as I walk. It's the perfect way to be sexy without crossing over into slutty.


For my shoes, I threw on my go-to Zara lace ups. They keep my feet dry in the rain & are a more chic take on the combat boot. They also have an Oxford look which allows you to dress them up or down. I wear them all year round.


For my accessories I wanted to add a subtle pop of color; so I chose my braided headband from Free People. I love this headband because it adds a hippie vibe to any outfit. It's also a tie back which adjustable to fit any head size. No more hair getting caught or headaches from elastic bands! 


I also threw on these gold bangles from AEO to add a little something extra. I wear them half way up my forearm for a boho look and also to keep the bangles from jiggling (hate that sound!). On my other arm I have my Free People hair tie & (of course) my Brazilian friendship bracelet.



There you have it. My outfit for this rainy Tuesday work day. What are you wearing?
