what I'm wearing this summer!

Here are a couple of things that you'll find me wearing this Summer:

Chambray
I cant get enough of my chambray shirt. It's so hipster without trying, which I'm all about. Plus it can go with anything i.e colored pants, floral skirt, neon shorts. Super adorbs and so cute!




Canvas Totes

I've never really enjoyed carrying around totes, big and bulky purses equals digging endlessly into a dark hole!!Yikes!! For some reason, and maybe the print, made this one so much more pleasurable. I'm seriously lovin' it. 



Vans
Knock off of course! Since I have to wear closed toed shoes to work, these kicks are sahhhweet! I love pairing sporty shoes, like these, with dresses. It gives off the "I'm trendy" vibe without trying too hard, which is always nice.



T-Shirt Dresses

I've never loved something more than t-shirt dresses, especially during the summer! With temps already reaching the century mark, having less clothes on the better. Bonus, never have to wear pants! Yay for t-shirt dresses!

5 buck bag: Haul

I recently went to a garage sale and found some gems. Now, before I get started, I know, garage sales... EEK! Honestly, just like thrift shopping, garage sales can be hit and miss, grody or a thrifter's paradise... you gotta give a little and take a little, giving it a chance. Seriously, you can find some really great items and for cheap. Okay, now that my rant is over, I found an amazing sale, $5 for an entire bag of name brand clothes. 
Here's what I found:

H&M
Burnt Orange is an essential color for any wardrobe but especially fall. When I saw this I was like, "I don't even care what size this is I need it." Luckily, it was my size and will make my fall essentials wardrobe so much better! I mean look at that color! SCORE!


Old Navy
This dress is super cute; it has a beaded top with a cinched waist making it very flattering. Unfortunately, it's a bit too big on me. To refurbish this dress I'm thinking of  making it into separates. Either way, it's going to be so adorable and super boho! HOLLA!



Very J
 Excuse the wrinkles, this tunic was too good to pass by. First of all, that color! I'm not much of a nude color kind of girl (because I'm super pale) but this top is fabulous! And it has studs! Like HELLO, yes please. With skinny jeans and wedges, this tunic is going to look amazing!



 Old Navy
 So I'm not really into muscle sweaters but this Old Navy top is everything. I wore this recently, pairing it with dark wash jeans, brown dangily earrings and sandals and let's just say it rocked my world. Boho at it's best! Plus, this is going to perfect for summer! 



Forever 21
I know what you're thinking, "A cardigan, really? It's like 100 degrees out!" This may be true but this oatmeal colored sweater just couldn't be left behind. Think of fall time, it will be so cozy and match everything, perfect for my future fall wardrobe!


My Story

 This dress, when I first held it up, I passed on it; It was weird and just didn't hang right. However, after sifting through the rest of the clothes I came back to this dress. On impulse, I bought it and I'm so glad I did. The front is really hard to show (the picture doesn't do it any justice), but this coral number is beautiful and flowy... not to mention the open back. Like, yes please; business in the front, party in the back!



 Gap
Finally, I picked up this white t-shirt.  I know what you're thinking, boring! However this basic essential is different from every other white tee because it has a v neck in the back and front making it more interesting than your everyday plain jane t-shirt.

Total: $2.00

DIY: Sweatpants To Skirt


 
Do you ever have one of those days where pants just aren't going to work? How about those days when sweatpants are the only thing you can wear? If this is ever you, I have the perfect solution to your problem. 
The following DIY will explain how to turn your favorite pair of sweats (or any pair, because, you know, can't even think about cutting up those perfect pants) into a comfy but stylish skirt for those days when getting dressed is out of the question.

What You'll Need:
(1) pair of sweats
scissors
needle and thread or fabric glue 


 Begin by cutting sweats to the length you want your skirt to be, adding a an 1/2 inch for seam allowance. Next, cut inseams (the crotch seams).

 Turn inside out and flatten (once flattened the crotch seams should now be located on the right and left side [they are outside of the dotted lines in picture] and the original right and left leg should now be the front and back of the new garment). Use the dotted lines as guide to sew/glue to create new seams for skirt. Hem bottom. Turn right side out. 

Done!
