Girl Getaway

Skirt: Max Studios via Marshall's Shirt: J. Crew Clutch: J. Crew Necklace: F21 Belt: Thrifted

A huge thanks to my best friend, Kel, for snappin' a couple outfit shots today! 

My "girl getaway" in West Palm Beach, Florida is coming to a close - I've been so grateful to spend 10 days with my best friends in paradise! It's been a great way to start the summer wrap up/pre-college season. The summer will soon be behind us...Enjoy every moment!

I can't help but mix patterns...I really just can't stop...xx

I Just Wanna See You Stripe

Dress: Gap (30% off clearance sale!) Flats: BCBG via DSW Clutch: J. Crew (40% off clearance sale!) Necklace: F21 Bracelet: J. Crew

If I could choose a pattern to wear for the rest of my life, it'd be stripes. In all different colors, in all different widths, in every which way. Clearly, I'm off to a good start. 

Happy Monday! xx

MAXImize

Skirt: Max Studios via Marshall's ($78 down to $20!) Tee: American Eagle Denim Jacket: H&M Shoes: American Eagle Necklace: F21 Bracelets: J. Crew, Alex and Ani, gifted Tote: Lucky Brand

Here goes nothin'. I've never owned/worn a maxi skirt before....a maxi dress, yes, but for some reason, the idea of a maxi skirt and the comprehension of my 5'3'' stature always prevented me from dressing myself in floor-sweeping clothing (except for here, but that of course, is an exception!). So for all you short girls who are scared of maxis, I have a couple pieces of advice: 

1. Stripes

2. Verticle/Slanted stripes (Unless you're a twig and can pull off horizontal stripes without looking like someone clicked "widescreen" on reality)

3. "The Perfect Length" 

Hope everyone's having a great weekend! xx Thank you for reading!

I'd also like to take this time to thank my beautiful, talented sister, Liv, for grinning and bearing it when I ask her to take blog photos and for taking such beautiful pictures! You're the best, sis!

The Elephant in the Room

Tee: Lucky Brand Denim: American Eagle Shoes: Elle Belt: American Eagle Necklace: Lucky Brand Bracelets: J. Crew, Alex and Ani, gifted 

I love this elephant graphic tee...totally unusual, but funky and cool! 

I guess I'm into animal-inspired tee shirts...and voila, click to see proof! 

Enjoy the weekend! xx

Watermelon

Button Up: J. Crew Shorts: Banana Republic Factory Store Shoes: Lela Rose for Payless Jewels: J. Crew, Lucky Brand, Alex and Ani, F21, Lauren Conrad, gifted

I think I love preppy outfits more than most other things. And sock buns. And kelly green. There's just a whole lot of love goin' on today.

Casual Tuesdays and Vacation Time

Trousers: Gap Shirt: H&M Shoes: Cotton On Purse: Vintage Dooney & Bourke Necklace: F21

Just a casual Tuesday....before my big trip to Aruba! See ya in 10 days, NJ!

This Sweater

Sweater: American Eagle Skirt: Gap Wedges: Payless Belt: Thrifted Purse: Vintage Dooney & Bourke

This sweater and I don't always get along....it sits in my closet, and I find it unusually hard to work it into an outfit, for some reason. But, finally, this sweater has had its moment...even if it is a bit too heavy for summer. Oh well.  

Had to snap a picture of my mom last night....love the floral top! :)

Winding Down

Shirt: (Borrowed from my sister) Banana Republic Denim: American Eagle Outfitters Shoes: Cotton On Jewelry: Tiffany & Co., Forever 21, gifted Nails:  Like to Be Bad by Essie

The end of senior year is quickly approaching, and it's a time for reflection and evaluation.  I can't believe my high school career is nearly over...Not sure how I feel about it yet!
