Disneyland outfit









Top: Forever 21
Shorts: Banana Republic Outlet
Flats: Target
Hat: Target
Jacket: J.Crew (thrifted)
Belt: H&M
Bag: H&M

I look so tired in the third picture. Uhg. I woke up early because we went to Disneyland today. I definitely wore my white wide brimmed hat to protect myself from the sun and I wore the jacket only on the drive down. It was blistering in Anaheim and the weather did not warrant a jacket no matter how cute it was. I decided to use a split-complementary color scheme (red and lime-green) as described here. I love how it looked and I definitely plan on basing more outfits on color theory.

You're the sky that I fell through









Top: Forever 21 (worn backwards)
Shorts: Banana Republic Outlet
Sandals: Banana Republic Outlet
Bag: H&M (shown here)
Belt: Fossil Outlet
Necklace: J.Crew (gifted)
Watch: Timex (thrifted)

Today I didn't work until the late afternoon which meant I could dress how I pleased without having to worry about getting apple juice on my top or accidentally rubbing my pants on a tire as I load the kids into the car. Looking at this outfit as compared to my last, I see they are rather similar... but I guess I don't care. I'm wearing my old lady white sandals again and I just love them. I received a lot of compliments on this outfit today, however I couldn't decide if I looked too trendy or just classic with the high waisted shorts. The necklace is gorgeous and a Xmas gift from my mom. I once had an old lady in doctors office tell me to treasure this necklace for the rest of my life. The top is from Forever 21 and I wore it backwards. I felt like the embellishment on the shoulders looked better on the back, especially with the necklace. Oh, and the watch, which I didn't take a closeup of, I bought at Salvation Army. It actually doesn't work but I don't mind. I really love the look of it and figure no one actually can tell it doesn't work.

Aside from that, the weather is really annoying me. Yes, it's nice that it's finally warm here, but now all the fall collections are coming out and all I can think about is tweed, leather, boots and wooly tights. The end of summer is when I finally am pulling out all my skirts and shorts but it feels too late. Fall semester is starting for me on Saturday and I want to wear boots and coats to class. I have a feeling that we'll be having summer in October this year. Ugh.

But your soul, you must keep totally free.









Romper: Splendid (gifted)
Sandals: Banana Republic Outlet
Bag: H&M
Necklace: Vintage from Dustinthewindz@etsy.

Yesterday we went swimming again, so I didn't wear anything fun except for my bathing suit.

This romper was a gift from my boyfriend's sister. She was doing some shopping on Splendid the other day and I was helping her pick items. When she saw this romper she said it looked like me and added my size to the cart. She is so sweet and generous to me. I love how soft it is and that it could be worn with a skirt to get more use out of it. Today it was so hot and this came in the mail just yesterday and was perfect for the weather today. It's the first heat wave here since the start of summer. I got the bag at H&M when I was in New York City earlier this month and I got the sandals during a major sale at the outlets. I think they ended up being $12 or something. Well worth it, but my mom says old ladies wear white sandals. Apparently my Aunt refuses to wear them since my mom said that.

Lastly, this necklace is an amazing find from Etsy vintage shopping. I'm crazy for it. So unique and gorgeous. It's a wonderful sort of understated statement necklace. I don't know if that makes sense.

Thank you to my new followers! I hope you enjoy what I have in store for you in the future. Xoxo.
