9/30



This is a good transition outfit for summer to fall inspired by a mannequin in Urban Outfitters. Mixing lights and darks along with heavy and light textures makes this outfit good for those transition months

I'm wearing:
  • Pink button up blouse from Kohl's
  • Plaid kimono from H&M
  • Black track pant trousers from Target
  • Black Doc Marten's

Beverly Thrills

 Ah, the pinafore: the effortless skirt. All the frilliness of a skirt without those horrible waistband marks! Not necessarily an ideal piece for chesty girls given the suspenders, but I wear what I want. (And so should you!)

I'm wearing:
  • "Beverly Thrills" Muscle tee from Cotton On
  • Black pinafore from H&M
  • White crew socks from H&M
  • Floral Doc Martens

Add some summer flair to a crop top and shorts with a flowy kimono.

Country Blouse, City Mouse

Country Blouse, City Mouse

Spruce up a plain plaid flannel shirt with some chic high-waisted shorts and hippie-chic sandals. This is actually my boyfriend's shirt, but I tied it just above the waist of these cute shorts to add a girly look to it. (Sandals from Payless)

Jungle Fever

I love rompers. Adding an undershirt gives a certain level of comfort to an out-there piece.

My romper, headband, and earrings are from various boutiques. My boots are from Mandee and my crop top is from H&M.

Arabian Nights



Arabian Nights

A dress doesn't have to be simple, play it up with eye-catching makeup and simple jewelry highlighting accent colors.

I'm wearing:
  • Elephant print skater dress with peek-a-boo sleeves I picked up at a local boutique
  • Black Nine West sandals
  • Gold jewelry from various boutiques 

Aztec Gold

These brightly patterned high-waisted shorts go perfectly with a basic crop top. The fitted shorts counter the flowy top to flatter any figure.

I'm wearing

  • Black crop top from H&M
  • High waisted Aztec print shorts I picked up at a sample sale
  • Woven sandals from Payless

Shoot for the Stars



Shoot for the Stars

A basic preppy look perfect for transitioning from classes to work. Rolling the sleeves of a button up shirt adds a casual look to a classic piece. Pairing booties with a circle skirt adds a playful touch. A perfect combination of those end-of-summer days.

I'm wearing:

  • Black and white star patterned button-up shirt from New York & Company
  • Purple jersey circle skirt from Target
  • Black MIA Clairre booties
