2-3
I’ve been waiting for the perfect tuxedo blazer for what seems like all of my life and last week I finally found it. I wasted no time in ordering it and miraculously it arrived on my birthday (5/15). You will see tons more of this blazer. I’ve searched long and hard for it and I feel the need to over-wear it. The rest of the outfit was pretty casual due to the fact that I was only going to brunch.
More to come.
Chambray This, Chambray That…
I’ve become obsessed with this chambray blouse. I’ve had it for over two years but as of late it’s the only top I want to wear. It works with everything from a sequin skirt to a comfy pair of harem pants. It’s perfect! I’m currently on the hunt for a new one. Perhaps one that has more of a distressed look to it. Any who, the skirt is from Forever 21, it’s one many of the Aztec inspired items I got when I went through my iloveeverythingaztec phase. Sadly, I hate the way these shoes photographed but what’s done is done right?
Dressed for Whatever
I’ve been itching to wear this leopard print skirt for years… no, really I got it two years ago. I’m known for buying pieces and waiting to wear them for the perfect occasion. It’s been a habit I’ve been fighting for a long time now and I’d like to say that I’m getting better. I wore this to brunch with my bew and was surprisingly comfortable giving the length of the skirt. This booties are probably the most comfortable shoes that I own (outside of flats.) I’m sad that I’ll be packing them away until Fall soon. My bright cardi and a few metallic accessories complete the ensemble.
Chaotic
I usually never photograph when I’m out and about because I’m usually too caught up in what I’m doing to snap a few good photos. On this rare occasion I lunched and shopped with Christina. After a failed attempt of trying to return shoes to TopShop we stopped and snapped these pictures in what may be the busiest part of downtown Chicago. It was interesting to say the least…
The New Classic
This outfit was an experiment as I let Christina have full reign of my wardrobe, which of course meant lots and lots of black. While it’s not something I would’ve picked myself, it’s not too far off from my usual style. My trusty moto jacket was paired with this longline bra from Torrid which I bought forever ago and is one of the best things they’ve ever produced. The midi skirt is from the ASOS main range and I love the contrast of the abstract print. To inject some fun, we colorblocked using this amazing chartreuse satchel and a pair of pink heels picked up from Nordstrom Rack. The finishing touch is this black rose headband (that I need to steal) from ASOS.
Color Splash
I’m obsessed with color. However, I’m even more obsessed with putting colors that don’t really ‘go’ together. This look is an example of that. I scored the blazer at a thrift store for six bucks and the dress is from the main range at Forever 21.

Elements of Style
If someone were to ask me to define my style in one word I’d be unable to. I’ve worn things that could be labeled as girly, sophisticated, edgy, trendy, sporty or glam. So where does that leave me? I read one of my favorite magazines the other day and stumbled across one of those silly ‘what’s my style’ quizzes. It labeled me a Goth… yeah. I found it pretty funny and took a few more quizzes online which earned me results like classically chic, trendy, ethnic and my fav un-categorically quirky. Five quizzes, five totally different results later I was still clueless as to what my style is. Here’s what I do know I buy things that please my eye be it girly, glam or gothic, I wear it in a way that’s flattering and I post it here for all of you to see. Pictures speak louder than words…
Back for the First Time
3 months. This is the longest I’ve gone without shopping since I started my first job at 16. My unintentional ban should have everything to do with budgeting and being a responsible adult but that’s not the case. There isn’t a day that passes that I don’t attempt to buy something but nowadays that seems like an impossible task. I’m less than unimpressed with most of my favorite retailers and it’s left me in a fashion rut. However, there is a bright side to this depressing situation. With nothing new coming in I’ve been forced to shop my own closet. All the pieces that I’ve bought and neglected or the older ones that I’d completely written off are now getting the attention they deserve. I purchased this blouse over a year ago and forgot that it existed up until last week. The skirt and the blazer have the same story; bought and forgotten. Hopefully in the near future there will be something for me to buy but until then I’ll try my hardest to reincarnate my old pieces. *sigh*
Do It Like A Dude
Today I learned three things; Androgyny is not made for me (I tried my hardest to serve Scott Disick realness LOL), chartreuse does not photograph to it’s full glorious potential and these shoes make my feet look impossibly long. *shrug* Finally I’m free from the prison also known as school and I couldn’t be any happier. I have every intention to rest (be a bum) for a week… or two before I begin my quest for work. Onto the fashion I simply threw together a few pieces to form this very casual look for lunch with pals.
