Color Me Chartreuse

 Necklace: H&M | Top: Brandy Melville

Trousers: H&M | Shoes: Charlotte Russe

I'm good for buying things that don't fit me perfectly, especially if I know I'll be able to alter it to fit and the price is just too good to pass up. 

I've had these chartreuse trousers for about a year now and I finally got to where them this weekend. They were originally way too big and not tailored at all but they were a bargain at $10 and I'd already envisioned them as THE piece for 5 different outfits. After fixing up the waistline and tapering the legs as bit, they were perfect! 

Plus, they're super lightweight and perfect for these super hot + humid Atlanta summers. 

Fun fact: Chartreuse is a mix of yellow + green and named after a French liqueur. Yay knowledge!

A Modern Belle

Mammal Factory

Necklace: Urban Outfitters | Top: Zara 

Skort: Topshop | Shoes: Converse

This Saturday I went to an AMAZING young artist event in downtown Atlanta at The Mammal Factory, hosted by GOD2ATL (Gaining Our Definition). With artwork coating the walls, live performances, good vibes and an eclectic crowd, this was an artistic utopia! 

I love being in creative spaces around equally creative people, it's so invigorating and inspiring!

I wanted to put together an outfit that gave off a fresh vibe to match the event. Since my skort masterfully mixes comfort and style, it was the perfect pick for the night. Pairing it with a simple black crop top and white Chucks dressed it down, while still managing to give the right amount of casual edge.

A Modern Belle

In Plain Sight

I know I said my last post would be my final (and only) summer outfit but I couldn't help myself. 

 I really enjoyed wearing this outfit for a girls' day out with my younger sister. 

It was perfect for dealing with the southern heat.  

Camo Jacket: Nordstrom Rack / Crop Top: Loehmann's / Shorts: DIY (purchased the jeans at Goodwill) 

Shoes: Converse / Purse: Charity Yard Sale / Necklace: Mom's / Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

Alright, I promise I am now saying farewell to summer.

 I hope you guys are ready to embrace that autumn chill.....fashionably of course.

I know I am.
