     Just when you thought I was done with denim, the love affair continues!

     It's true love. I try to stay away and try something new, but a classic is a classic. Can never stay away for too long without feeling the need to show my denim some love.

   With 90+ degree weather, this outfit was perfect. The white shift gave me room to breathe and not die under the beating hot sun, while the jacket provided warmth during the cool evenings.

     It's such a simple outfit, but I am so in love with it. I've already worn this outfit twice the past 10 days. Someone stop this madness!!

Breezy Silk & Artwork Pencil Skirt

Orange Sleeveless Top | Thrifted

Painted Pencil Skirt | Gift
Olivia Bow T-Strap Pump | Ssh-oes

     I look at my closet these days and just have the urge to throw out all the black, grey, and navy blue clothing and buy a whole new wardrobe of pastels, florals, and bright gem colors!

     Other than the ridiculous amount of money wasted, I also know I would want those clothes back once winter returns in November. So a girl will dream until then (and bargain hunt for some pretty pieces that I can mix with my monochrome staples.

   I literally went through my closet, and pulled the brightest items I had. Voila! This outfit. The soft silk top is perfect for breezy summer days, plus the pencil skirt, and I'm ready to battle my office AC and the sunny 80 degree weather during lunch! Bring it!

     And if you bet I'd wear something denim again, I think you owe me 10 bucks :P

That 70s (Fashion) Show

Denim Dress | Thrifted

Brown Pleated Skirt | Thrifted
Strappy Heels | Charles David

Woven Suede Scarf | Guess (old)

     With my recent denim binge and 70s inspired outfits, I think I should honestly consider renaming this blog to That 70s Fashion Show.

     If I had planned all these jean/denim related outfits, I could have made next month "June Jeans" or made a series called "Denim Days."

    This outfit is definitely more retro than modern with so many thrifted items. I especially love this skirt, because of how well it fits on me like as if I had it tailor made to my measurements. So well made, that the belt is purely for decoration!

     Now for the funny part: let's make a bet. Who thinks I'll be wearing something denim related next week?!

70s Retro Denim Skirt Outfit

Lace Dress | Thrifted

Denim Skirt | Asos
Lucite Heels | L.A.M.B.

Cat Eye Sunglasses | Kate Spade

     I love thrifted clothing, but I am really loving this retro 70s vibe that recently cropped up in the fashion world.

     So I'm consciously pairing new items with thrifted items to create retro/vintage looks, and it's a bunch of fun. If you're just getting into thrifting, this is a great way to test the waters. Take an outfit you'd normally wear and replace one item with a thrifted item. It'll make thrifting fit into your wardrobe so much more easily!

    This outfit is a great example. I wore a whole new outfit, but switched a new tank in for a thrifted dress worn as a top, and voila! Spring friendly outfit! It's completely modern with a retro (thrifted) twist.

This would have made the perfect debut album cover to my Indie career in the early 90s.
Just need to learn how to sing on pitch, play the guitar, write music, oh and go back in time 20 years.

     I love the flowers when they bloom, but I love it even more when the petals start to fall to the ground! It's the prettiest type of shower. And the floor is always dusted with beautiful pastel petals. Like rose-tinted glasses for life temporarily.

     And I know this outfit is screaming fall, but with how the weather's been, I felt it was more than appropriate!

    I'm pretty self conscious, and I feel like I need to push myself to love me in every type of outfit, so I'm going to start wearing shorts and short skirts (internal scream). This is one outfit I'm ok with. I'm totally lying to myself when I say I can see my recent work outs showing, but I'm ok with that. If you're like me and don't feel quite so comfortable, the big patterned scarf helps create coverage without distracting from the whole outfit. Plus the big hat and sunglasses make me feel invisible to others despite being even more obvious!
