That New New

 Lace Skirt: ASTR from Nordstrom Rack | Skort: Topshop from Nordstrom Rack (similar here

  Trousers: Zara (similar here) | Shoes: Zara

I am a self-proclaimed Zara addict. I get beyond excited every time their semi-annual sales happen. 

It's like Christmas in July! 

I had been stalking these pink pumps for months. I'm a huge fan of the T-strap and rounded heel, so when I saw them on sale AND one final pair left in my size, it was clearly a sign. Since, it would have been a bad idea to ignore such an obvious sign, I knew they were destined to come home with me. 

The trousers were a magical find for me. I'm on a seemingly never-ending hunt for cropped trousers that aren't too short and fit my waist and thighs. These floral ones are it! They're lightweight and perfect for summer (plus they match perfectly with the pumps). 

On top of the Zara sale, I discovered that another favorite store of mine, Nordstrom Rack, was also having a big summer sale. 

Your girl was was in fashion heaven!

The lace skirt fits like a glove! It's that perfect mix of lady-like appeal and playfulness with the sheer lace bottom. Plus I can wear it with the pink pumps (It should be clear I was supposed to have these shoes at this point). 

I was especially excited about this emerald green Topshop skort. For one, the color? Gorgeous. Two? As a child of the 90s, I appreciate a good skort. I get to look like I'm wearing a skirt without the worry of having a serious wardrobe malfunction (i.e. unintentionally flashing someone). 

'Tis all for now my dears. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

Daisy

Top: Nordstrom Rack (borrowed from my younger sister) | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: DSW | Necklace: Urban Outfitters

Black and white outfits with pops of color are definitely a staple outfit formula for me. The combinations are endless. 

I'm usually not one to wear yellow but I saw this textured skirt at H&M and knew it had to happen. It just screams happiness and it makes me feel like a daisy. 

I had a special spring in my step as I bounced from place to place in this 'fit. I even had a woman at the fabric store tell me I looked like a life-size Barbie doll!

Since I was feeling especially playful this day (I credit the power of the skirt), I decided to try something different with my hair outside of my usual top bun or long braid. So when one bun isn't enough, why not try three!?

It's safe to say I had a lot of fun with this one. 

Until next time!

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.
