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!
Happy Friday! It's been awhile since my last outfit post. I'm still trying to find some balance between my blog and YouTube, but I'm just excited to be doing both! It's definitely challenging, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Being on your own really tests all your skills all at once, and you end up learning a new thing or two.
Anyway, I'm back to basics with my faux leather overalls. Something about the simplicity of a black and white outfit just makes life a little less complicated. I really love, love this top from James Perse. It's one of my favorite white button downs. It's extremely soft and light, which makes it perfect for the warmer weather. I'm wearing a size 1 for reference. I'm normally a size 0, but this shirt is more on the fitted side.
Since it's getting a little warmer now each day, I'm trying to get the most use out of my faux leather overalls (dress version). Come summer time, it might be a little bit too hot for me to wear it. I might be able to wear it still in the night time once the sun goes down. I love how it instantly adds a bit of an edge to the whole look.
I hope you all have fun plans this weekend! I just realized that Me Before You just came out today, and I'm planning to see it this weekend. I've been waiting for this movie to come out since I saw the trailer. It's definitely a tear jerker! My type of movie. Even the trailer had me in tears, so I can only imagine what a hot mess I'll be after I watch the movie!
Here's one of things that I found recently in my closet. I almost forgot about this pretty blush-toned sequined blazer, so I decided to bring it back for an outfit post. However, this sparkly blazer is currently up for grabs and listed on Poshmark for anyone who is interested. Since this is such a sparkly piece, I wanted to dress it down a little bit by pairing it with super soft tee, my distressed boyfriend jeans, and my Vans slip-on.
I like how this blazer is very light-weight and I can easily throw it on if I want to look a little more put together even though the rest really isn't.
Sometimes you just have to find out creative ways to make a piece in your closet versatile. Just because it looks like it should only be worn for a certain occasion doesn't mean you should only wear it for that certain occasion. But with that said, I almost completely forgot I even had this number until I recently purged my closet. One of my goal this year is to get a better handle of what I have in my closet.
Like I mentioned earlier, this blazer is up for grabs on Poshmark for anyone who is interested. It's in a size small and it has a loose baggy fit. Since I've been on a mission to down-size my closet, I'm currently letting go of pieces that I've only worn a handful of times (but are in almost new or excellent condition). Check out the rest my closet to see what else I have listed!
Hope you all have a nice Valentine's/Galentine's/Single Awareness Day tomorrrow... however you're celebrating it.
Some days, you just want a no fuss, no brainer outfit. Something just to get you out of the door quickly, while still looking put together. Knowing your closet and having your no nonsense essential clothing items help on days when you're feeling a little stumped with what to wear.
A striped tee is a staple in my closet. I really like this James Perse shirt that I found at my Nordstrom Rack because of the deep V-neckline. It's even cuter when worn with a lace bralette (this one is super cute too) underneath just slightly peeking through.
I've paired my V-neck shirt (I also like this shirt) with a moto faux leather skirt to for an edgy look. In this outfit, I love how the skirt plays as the feminine touch to a slightly tomboy-ish outfit.
And with the latest sneaker trend still going on strong, I'm staring to dig out more of my sneakers out of their boxes and incorporate them with more of my outfits. I'm really liking the whole very feminine and flirty while still being comfortable and a bit boy-ish look. It's really all about how you mix and match your pieces together. So, why not have it work for your comfort.
Side note, I recently just discovered the amazing selection of Dogeared necklaces available at Nordstrom Rack! I have a few dainty necklaces from the brand, and I'm really excited to find that they're over 50% off retail at Nordstrom Rack. I usually wear them alone, but I also like layering them together. Below are some of my favorites:

I know that everyone's mom and aunt have these skorts from Zara. And I think everyone should own one. They're easily becoming a staple piece for me this spring and summer for an easy, no brainer outfit. And for someone who is afraid of wearing white clothing, especially bottoms, I've been kind of in love with these. I mean who wouldn't these things has pockets!
