oh hey, stripes
shirt & skirt: JCPenney Outlet
sandals: TJMaxx
belt: thrifted
bracelet: vintage (my grandmother’s!)
I’m seeing stripes blowing up for fall on every fashion place I look so I was super excited to find this shirt marked down at our penney’s outlet. I always heard horizontal stripes can make you look wide but I felt great in this outfit. I’m already imagining a dozen...

got the blues
top: Marshalls
jeans: Charlotte Russe
shoes: thrifted
ring: a drugstore?/beauty shop?/idk? in NYC
It’s always exciting when you realize you have things in your closet that you’ve forgotten about.. that’s definitely what happened with this top. I hadn’t worn these shoes in ages either, so that was the first sartorial selection of the day… the blue in the top is a...

sunday lunch
dress: Walmart (yes, Walmart!)
clutch: New York & Company (via JCPenney Outlet)
shoes: thrifted
watch: Eddie Bauer
cameo ring: gifted
This dress is probably a tad short for work but it was perfect for Sunday lunch with Caitlin :) I liked the contrast between the blue and yellow. Dresses are awesome for hot weather - you throw one on and are good to go! And I’m not ashamed to say I...

band nerd
tshirt: bought at a concert
shorts: Old Navy
shoes: Minnetonka
purse: leather market in Spain
While it’s not something I wear very much anymore, I guess part of me never really outgrew the band tshirt trend. They’re always good for wearing around when you don’t have anything to really get dressed up for and just want something comfy to wear, though… plus the graphics...

I’m digging these denim slacks and I love to wear them to work on days when I don’t have any meetings or on Fridays. I got the shirt super cheap at TJ Maxx because it was missing the tie belt, so that one is stolen...

birthday festivities
top: Gap
belt: came with a dress [Zara]
skirt: Liz Claiborne [via Marshalls]
shoes: Nine West [via Marshalls]
rings + necklace: gifted
My parents have birthdays almost within a week of each other, so we all decided to go out to eat at a decently nice restaurant in town to celebrate. This also conveniently doubled as a lovely excuse to dress up; those are relatively few and far between these...

denim envy
shirt: thrifted
pants: TJMaxx
belt: thrifted
shoes: Target
watch: Eddie Bauer
The first time I saw Jessica Quirk of What I Wore in a denim shirt, I knew I had to have one. They’re actually quite versatile and you can dress them up or down, depending on what you pair them with. I find myself grabbing my thrifted red belt to spice up outfits a lot these days too. And my Target shoes? I...

mama's jacket
dress: Target
jacket: my mom’s!
shoes: thrifted
sunglasses: TJMaxx
watch: Eddie Bauer
I’m frantically trying to wear all my summer-y outfits one last time before Labor Day including this white denim jacket of my mother’s that I loveee. It’s actually a petite size, which I am decidedly not, but the length actually works really well with dresses. And aren’t my...
