Accessorizing 101: T-shirt and Jeans

Hello! 

Today I'm bringing something a little different! I wanted to talk about how to transform a t-shirt and jeans into a really beautiful outfit! 

I started out with my light wash skinny jeans from American Eagle and a plan baseball tee from Urban Outfitters. (wait, what - i didn't thrift anything for this outfit! but wait!) 

To make this outfit a little more interesting than your basic t-shirt and jeans I added a fun floral kimono and the necklace from my last post! I've featured this kimono before but I think it can look fantastic with simple skinny jeans as well! It's also perfect for this time of year because it can still be hot where I am and this kimono is so light and airy! 

I think adding a few accessories - like a necklace or a lightweight kimono can add vibrancy to an otherwise dull outfit! For the fall I'd definitely trade out the lightwash denim for a darker wash and perhaps something with some rips! I think this type of outfit can work for any time of year. 

I absolutely adore this skinny jeans because of the detailing on the sides! Isn't it stunning? It's also really subtle and delicate, which I think definitely goes along with this outfit! 

Let me know what you think of the outfit I created in the comments below!

Casual Monday Outfit

Hello! 

Today I'm bringing to you another outfit post! I was having a pretty chill monday so here is a very simple outfit.

It was pouring rain here but I managed to find some time to shoot some photos in this dreary weather. I feel like it rains everyday now! Anyways - with the end of summer approaching quickly I decided to get in a few more fun summer outfit posts!

This is another one of my go-to outfits. I picked up these vintage high waisted shorts about a year ago and I'm obsessed with them! I've never found a pair of high waisted shorts that I find flattering (and long enough!) and these fit like a glove. I was never a huge shorts wearer before I got these and now I want to wear them with everything. 

I paired the shorts with a baggier t-shirt that I thrifted a few weeks ago. It's originally from urban outfitters and so comfortable! I'm normally not a big v-neck fan but this one is really nice. I also love the different colors of stripes. It's really different from my MANY other striped shirts! I also just added a nice brown braided belt from Forever 21 I got years ago. 

 

As for shows I just wore my trusty black flats from Target. These are fairly old but I know they still make this kind of flats. They're great for the rain and have lasted for a really long time.

The Denim Vest

Hello! 

Sorry I missed yesterday's outfit post. I'm not sure why but every time I've taken outfit photos recently I really haven't like them. It's been a difficult summer and I recently found out some upsetting news that didn't help. Things have been weird recently and so my photos aren't as great as I want them to be.

Another thing - Wow I'm almost at 40 subscribers on Bloglovin'!! I've been doing this for a little over a month now and I'm really surprised! Thank you to everyone who reads. I am forever thankful. 

Now onto the outfit! 

I'll be the first to admit - this outfit formula (boyfriend jeans/skinny jeans + white shirt + denim vest) is my go to for when I don't know what to wear. Vests are my favorite way to elevate an outfit and just make the look a bit more interesting. I also decided on sandals today because it is still August and so hot here. My pastel pink boyfriend jeans are from Old Navy from a few years ago. These pants are definitely a favorite of mine - so comfortable and the fit is perfect!     

  

My denim vest was actually a gift from my grandmother years ago (we're talking 8+ years ago!) And I have to say it is still a staple in my wardrobe! I have to stop myself from wearing it so often. The wash is just perfect and I love that it has studs. Definitely adds a bit of edge to my pastel pink pants! My white button down is from Forever 21 but you can find these anywhere and are definitely a staple!

I talked about these sandals in my first ever post (here) but I love them so I thought I'd feature them again! I got them from Target in the children's section this summer and I think they are the perfect sandal! (ignore my unpainted toenails...)

Well that's it for my outfit post today! I hope you enjoyed it and I'll try and get another post up tomorrow (or thursday..) 

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think in the comments below.

MY FIRST CROP TOP

Hello! I'm back with yet another outfit post! 

I normally post Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (and occasionally on Thursday's if I have a video) but tomorrow is my 23rd birthday! Wooo! So I thought I'd post my outfit today. 

I'm thinking now that I've been really enjoying this I'm going to try and post two outfit posts a week (or something else fashion related) and one beauty post a week but we will see!

Onto my outfit...

I'll definitely be the first admit it that I am not much of a crop top fan. I think other people can pull them off but not me! But I've been interested in trying them for a while now and I found this cute black one for only 1$ at the thrift store! I love thrifting because it allows me to try trends I don't want to spend a ton of money on - like crop tops! They are half a shirt -- why do I have to pay 20 dollars for one?? But what I really like about this top is the lace detail on the sleeves!

As you can see... my skirt is also the perfect twirling skirt! I got it from Urban Outfitters probably a year ago but you can find the same skirt here for a lot less than what I paid (thanks vinted). My shoes are just plain black flats from Target that I've had for ages but they fit me perfectly! 

 As for make-up I decided to try something a little different than what I normally go for - a pink lipstick! I own quite a few but I never seem to wear them and I'm not sure why. I always feel like people are staring at me when I wear lipstick (which I know in reality they are not) but I really liked how it looked the other day. But that is it for my simple outfit and I hope you enjoyed this post!
