Basic White Tee

James Perse White t-shirt / Distressed shorts / ASOS belt / Birkenstock sandals / Karen Walker sunglasses / DIY choker / Fringe tote

This was my go-to minimalist outfit in the summer. A combination of a t-shirt and distressed shorts. I preferred a white shirt on most days to keep me cool in the heat. I know it's already October which technically means it's fall. The weather hasn't cooled down as much as I was hoping to. It's still hot. When the sun's out, the legs are out!

Comfy Stripe T-Shirt Dress

Happy Monday! Here's a super easy and comfortable outfit that I find myself wearing lately on lazy days. A t-shirt dress is perfect for days when you might need to hide your food baby after eating out some delicious noms.

White Boyfriend Blazer

Switching it up a bit with a crisp white boyfriend blazer instead of a black one. A white blazer is more appropriate for me during summer since it gives the whole look a more relaxed and airy feel to it. You can easily incorporate a white blazer into your outfit especially if you need a little bit of warmth during the chilly summer nights.

June Gloom

Grey dolman top / Paige black skinnies / Denim jacket (similar from GAP) / Forever 21 choker necklace (similar here and here) / Baublebar necklace (similar here and here) / Birkenstock sandals / Zara bucket bag (old, similar) / Wildfox sunglasses

I have a thing for color coordinating with the weather sometimes. In my last post, I rocked my favorite yellow Equipment top. Lately, we've been experiencing some heavy June gloom (and with some light sprinkle) even though it's almost summer in a few days. So the layering continues, and I find myself grabbing my denim jacket lately for those light chilly days/nights. I won't even deny that it's one of my staple items in my closet now.






Even though I've been accessorizing my outfits with faux suede choker necklaces lately (see my DIY here), I like to switch it up with a gold choker necklace once in awhile and layer it with a Y-neck necklace. I think it makes a balanced pairing with the metallic choker necklace being more on the edgy side as the Y-neck necklace drapes delicately with it.






If I'm not wearing my denim jacket with light spring/summery dresses, I like to pair it with a more monochromatic outfit like this one. There's just something cool draping over a light wash denim vest over a simple outfit. It's perfect for days when you're on the go and need to run a few errands or maybe just spending a Sunday strolling around your local farmer's market. And you know that the Birkenstocks are back at it again. I love wearing them with these black skinny pants. See this combo as another outfit here.

DIY Chloe "Hudson" Inspired Tassel Bag (& How I Styled It)

And I'm back at it again with another DIY video! I've been seeing the Chloe Hudson Tassel Bag making its rounds on Instagram and other fashion blogs which inspired me to spruce up my old, plain handbag with some colorful tassels. This DIY is a cute and easy way to add some fun and color to your spring and summer outfit. Also, it gives your old bag a chance to see the light of day again.

Coachella weekend one was this past weekend, and I definitely felt the FOMO feels as I watched my friends's Snapchat story. However, that didn't stop me into dressing as if I'm going to the event myself. In my efforts to utilize more of what I have in my closet, I found this denim skirt folded in my closet. I decided to pull it out and get some leggy visuals since the sun's out.




One thing I learned at Coachella last year about dressing up was layering is key. Yes, I know it can get scorching hot in the day time. This lace top is perfect since it doesn't block out the air that'll help you stay cool. And if you'll be spending the whole day at the festival ground, you would definitely need at least a light jacket come nighttime time. It gets very cold once the sun sets. I made this mistake the first night, and I almost froze to death (ok, maybe almost gotten sick). So a light jacket, like this military jacket, is perfect since it goes with pretty much any outfit.

Black and Tan

Forever 21 muscle tee / Suede shorts / Birkenstocks sandals / Wildfox sunglasses / Urban Outfitters bralette / Dogeared necklace 1 and necklace 2
This has been my summer uniform last summer (you know, since it's technically fall now). Shirt + shorts + Birkenstocks = out the door. Since this past summer was probably the hottest I've ever experienced, wearing a loosely fit muscle tee was the least scandalous way for me to almost not wear anything. It's drapey and it has plenty of arm room (more airflow coming in). It's also a cute way to show off my bralette.

Jersey Dress

Forever 21 shirt dress / denim jacket / Birkenstocks sandals / Celine Nano bag (similar) / Dogeared necklace
The official first day of Autumn doesn't begin until a week from today, but it's starting to get nippy already! I'm slowly starting to take out my light-weight jackets to keep me warm.

I'm still very much into dresses these days, and I've been some what living in this jersey shirt dress lately. I quickly realized how versatile this dress has been and not to mention uber comfortable. They almost feel like pajamas to me. That just seems like a super win to me.

Final Coachella outfit. This might be my most comfortable out of the three (see previous looks here and here). Not sure if I have ever mentioned it on my blog, but I have been really into distressed/destroyed looks lately. There's something about the disheveled look that's hooking me in.
