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

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!

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.

Amp Up Your Tee

 

Tee: Banana Republic Factory Store Skirt: Gap Shoes: Vera Wang via Kohl's Belt: F21

I'm not really a fan of tee shirts. I don't wear them much....all the shirts I own have bells and whistles and do magic stunts. So, as I was shopping around the Banana Republic factory store, I saw this cute animal-print tee sitting prettily on the shelf and thought, huh, maybe I should delve into the world of fashionable, casual tee shirts. I think I'm on to something here.

And my hair is now long enough again to go back into a sock bun. All is right with the world.

Anybody have plans for MDW?

The Reason Why I Love DSW

Shirt: J. Crew Factory Store Skirt: J. Crew Factory Store Shoes: Enzo Angiolini via DSW Belt: New York & Company Purse: Kathy Van Zeeland via TJ Max (Old) 

The reason why I love DSW, my friends? Take one look at my feet. That is all. A discounted pair of hot pink pumps? Sold to Sarah.

Hope everyone's enjoying the week so far! Thanks so much for reading!

Denim Duo

Shirt: Forever 21 Skirt: Abercrombie & Fitch Shoes: BCBG via DSW Jewelry: gifted, Mexico, Forever 21 Belt: American Eagle Outfitters 

Hi there! I'm back from my trip and am so glad to be back in the USA. Cabo is nice, but there is no place like home.

I wanted to be comfortable today...I love my chambray shirt (so comfy) and pairing it with a white denim skirt is a cute way to mix different colored denims together. Add a pop of color to your outfits...your shoes don't have to match :) I love going casual...there's just something so great about hanging out in denim and a pair of flats and breezing through the day. Don't tell my heels that. 

Enjoy the week!
