At the pier

You've probably seen all three of these pieces on my blog before, but I've never worn them all together. I was in sort of a hurry for class-running late-and sorta just grabbed clothes and threw them all. I like the aesthetics of the different prints, though, so I guess it worked. 

After class, my sister and I went down to the pier. It's one of my favorite places to go. Unfortunately for us, we had to leave shortly after arriving because the mosquitoes were swarming fervently!

*I'll update this post with the brand names of my outfit later*

Turbaned Chick

(top-thrifted, shorts-gap,friendship braceltes-diy,turban-scarf/thrifted)


This super bold printed, yellow gold just screams summer! Anybody else want lemonade now? Not that bottled concentrated crap that dares to be labeled as such, but the homemade kind that's got just the right amount of sugar and tart! With the weather reaching upwards of 95 degrees already, I've been living on that stuff. Speaking of.....

My Blog is More Fashionable....

....Than Yours!...Psych!

(shorts-thrifted, blouse-tjmaxx, shoes-jack purcell for converse, socks-dollar store, belt-borrowed)

Of course this shirt isn't to be taken seriously. It's cute, though, right? Found it at TJMaxx several months ago.

Print-Vibe

(tank-mossimo, trousers-sugarlips, jean vest-diy, sneakers-american eagle outfitters, beanie-carbon black, jewelry-target,thrift, carbon black)

When I came home to see this package from SugarLips, I squealed with excitement and scrambled to unwrap the gems hidden inside-these Aztec print trousers! Being light and flowy, they're just perfect for those hot, sticky summer months(thanks a lot NC) where you really want to go pantless, but don't want to freak out the neighbors. If you haven't heard of SugarLips, you need to check them out. Beautiful pieces for affordable prices-just my type of shop!

How We Do

(blouse-thrifted, shorts-thrifted cutoffs, glasses-flea market, shoes-american eagle, socks-tjmaxx)

How We Do by Rita Ora has been stuck in my head all day and thats probably related somehow to me playing it nonstop in the car. It's officially my wake up song, meaning when I wake up, I blast it loud enough to wake the neighborhood! 

Anywho, that song was my inspiration for dressing today. I wanted to capture the fun, grungy party feel that encompasses me when I listen to it!

Happy Birthday to the Blog!

I can't believe it's been a year(give or take three days as I'm a bit late with this post) since I started this blog. I'd like to congratulate myself for never pressing the delete button. The other day, I scrolled through all of my blog posts, and I can tell that I've definitely improved both in styling myself and photography. I spent my blogiversary with Jr and cupcakes. We had fun eating them. Of course, he wasn't sure how to accomplish the daunting challenge of eating the cupcakes, but soon he settled with scooping off the icing and licking it off. He hated the cake part. 

Anywho, here's to me jumping into another fun year of blogging!

Nails: Southwestern Inspired

(Essie-turquoise & caicos, OPI-modern girl, SC-pull over, Rimmel london-burgundy flirt)

This design was really easy as I didn't want the polish to be neat lines. Rather, I just slathered it on. The only downside to this look is me having to wait for the polish to dry before i could add a different color. I like the way it turned out though. Nice and simple.

Fashion Against Bullying

(overalls-thrifted, shoes-converse, shirt-dollar store)

When WHAT I WEAR contacted me about writing a piece for their FAB (fashion against bullying) campaign, I was more than happy to do so. This is a subject that I've experienced personally, and I could definitely relate to. 

If you've been a victim of fashion bullying or can relate to the cause go to www.supportfab.com  You can upload a picture of yourself and volunteer among other contributions. Do it. The only way to stop bullying is to do it actively.

Flower Girl's Dress

(dress- xhiliration, blouse- r21, shoes-converse thrifted, hat- black poppy)

With it being as hot as it is and it's not even mid summer yet, sometimes dresses are the way to go. I mean,  even shorts can only do so much for letting a breeze come through. As I don't own that many dresses (working on fixing that problem) most of the dresses that I wear are borrowed from my sis...like this one.

Wanna Coke?

(blouse-thrifted, tights-r21, dress-imaginary voyage, converse-thrifted)

We have this old Coca Cola trading post in my town. I've always noticed it, but I'd never taken the time to go and explore until now. It is well kept, well preserved and beautiful. Makes for good scenery too. I plan to use it as a backdrop in a few more posts. I've got to take advantage of it with so little attractive scenery here. Side note: Anybody wanna coke?

Simple and Short

(aeropostale shorts, thrifted bouse, converse-shown here)

The weather was so muggy and suffocatingly hot today. It felt much warmer than 84 degrees. I was almost tempted to throw caution to the wind and wear a bathing suit to class.  I went with the next best thing and donned a light cotton blouse and thin summery printed shorts. Now, I'm sitting on my balcony and chugging ice cold glasses of mint tea... nom nom!
