CUFFED DENIM.

Dress - Hollister
Shirt - Abercrombie & Fitch
Bag - Michael Kors

Shoes - BCBGeneration


I managed to snap these photos yesterday before heading out to an optional class meeting. I've been a bundle of nerves since I left the room – it seems like everyone else already has exciting ideas for their senior thesis. But thank goodness, a spark of inspiration struck me while my boyfriend and I were driving to the garage. I'm not entirely sure if my idea will get the green light, but fingers crossed! 🀞

Flashback to '05 when I used to work at Hollister, and guess what? I still shop there regularly. Their clothes are incredibly comfy, and the best part is they're budget-friendly. Plus, they've got sales going on all the time. And speaking of deals, Abercrombie and Fitch is currently offering a jaw-dropping 60% off on their clearance items. I snagged this stylish denim shirt for just $18 before tax (originally priced at $78). What a steal, right?!? I can't promise how long this amazing deal will last, so if you're an A&F fan, you won't want to miss this opportunity. πŸ˜„ In fact, A&F and Hollister Co., if you're reading this, I'm open to collaboration! πŸ˜‰

I love mixing feminine dresses with edgy denim – it gives you that effortlessly cute yet not overly girly look. To balance out the outfit, I paired it with some chic pumps and kept my makeup natural to soften the overall appearance. Well, that's all for today. If you ended up doing some shopping as I suggested, let me know in the comments below. Happy shopping, everyone! πŸ’ƒπŸ›️

SCARF IT.

I decided to switch things up today and venture into a new style territory. Summertime and scarves don't usually go hand in hand, but they're just sitting in our closets, taking up space and collecting dust. What a waste, right? I must admit, I haven't been much of a scarf enthusiast myself, and my collection is rather small. But, let me tell you about this recent addition to my wardrobe – a loose, oversized coral dress that I snagged a few weeks ago at JCPenney.

You've probably noticed by now that I'm all about loose, comfortable clothing lately. These wide sleeves, oh, they're a dream! They let the breeze in and keep things well-ventilated (if that's even a term you can use to describe clothing, but who cares?). However, when I first tried on the dress without a belt, it felt like the dress was wearing me instead of the other way around. So, what did I do? Instead of reaching for a belt, I grabbed a scarf and tied it around my waist. VoilΓ ! Instant shape, and it gave the dress a more relaxed, casual look.

I'm all about making the most of your wardrobe, and those beautiful scarf collections should never go to waste. Keeping it simple, I opted for minimal accessories and a comfy pair of sandals. The result? A perfect daytime look that's as breezy and laid-back as a summer's day. What's your take on it? Let me know your thoughts! 😊

CORAL PEPLUM.

Dress - Macy's
Shoes - Vince Camuto
Accessories - Bebe
Bag - Louis Vuitton

What a whirlwind of a day! I've been dashing about from one place to another, but I'm finally settling down to share some lovely photos with you. You won't believe it, but my family pointed out that the dress I featured in yesterday's post didn't quite suit my body. So, today I found a little time to capture some fresh snapshots. The weather had other plans, though; the wind was absolutely relentless! I wish I'd chosen something more flowy, but alas, I didn't even have a hair tie to wrangle my unruly locks. It felt like the wind was playing tricks on me, leaving my hair untamed and the sun blinding my eyes – everything just seemed to go awry!

Alright, I promise I'll stop my little venting session and get right into today's outfit. Peplum, oh peplum, you timeless wonder! I adore how it gracefully conceals the mid-section. I could indulge in a hearty BBQ chicken leg quarter, corn, baked beans, and a cream cheese pie right before the photo session, and still, it appears as if I've been living on lettuce. No judgment, I'm a food lover through and through!

Now, let's talk about this vibrant coral beauty. It's such a playful and youthful color, don't you think? Perfect for these sunny summer days! To elongate my legs, I decided to pair it with chic nude pumps. To add a little extra flair, I accessorized with a statement necklace that beautifully complements the black accents on the dress. I made sure my bracelet and earrings matched as well.

I hope you enjoy this delightful look as much as I enjoyed putting it together! πŸ’ƒπŸŒžπŸ‘—πŸŒΌ

LEATHER CREPE.

Shoes - Guess?
Sunglasses - Coach
Bag - Michael Kors

Bracelet - BCBGMaxzaria
Earring - Chanel


Thank you, Rain! You really saved me from frying last night. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go out to snap some pics, as it's been raining cats and dogs, and my trusty photographer (aka my boyfriend) is currently out of town. So, we decided to be proactive and capture my second outfit ahead of time. I'll just share what I wore yesterday instead of my usual 'outfit of the day.' This twist of plans could turn out to be quite exciting. And hey, if the rain sticks around this evening, you might just catch me sporting a chic trench coat tomorrow!

My eyes instantly locked onto this gorgeous top as I strolled through the DKNY store. The loose-fitting style and the lovely crepe-like texture (I'm not exactly sure of the term, but it's fabulous!) were simply irresistible. Loose-fit clothing has become my go-to choice this summer. I tucked the top into a faux leather pencil skirt and paired it with sleek leather ankle boots for a polished look. I kept the accessories minimal because, well, sometimes less is more, right?πŸ˜ŠπŸ’•
