Heeeelllllllllooooooo! So two weeks ago i was in bed for 7days with strep throat. :( It was awful. I generally have to be extra careful when i get sick like that because it likes to stir up my asthma which has resulted in middle-of-the-night ER trips that i really like to avoid. But luckily that didn't happen and i feel much better now! I spent last week kind of catching up with life and now i believe i have accomplished that and can come back on here to play!

So without further ado....

Pics 1-4: Worn to work. Pretty simple but i love the dark, romantic feel of the outfit. I can see myself wearing this a lot early fall as well.

5-8: I have been waiting for this Vince Camuto mesh skirt to go on sale for FOR-EV-ER and then i randomly came across it at Nordstrom Rack (while it was still full price on their website)! Hooray! I love that it's not just a plain black skirt but another way to add texture into my wardrobe and the perfect length (to me) to wear to work and out for fun.

9-12: Worn today for errand running. It was only 64 this morning so i got another chance to wear my neon jacket. I haven't worn a plain white t in forever and it was boring me to death so i was like, "what goes with neon? More neon!" and threw on earrings and a necklace in another neon shade. No regrets!!!

Thanks for reading if you did. If you didn't that's cool too. All comments are welcome as always! I look forward to seeing all of your looks and catching up on what i missed!

Hi guys! I'm pretty sure i just consumed the largest burrito in the world so i'm going to type this out real quick before i fall into a food coma.

Outfit 1: All things you've seen before just combined in a new way. I was super tired this morning so the photo quality is not the best. Oops! But i still like how the outfit turned out! Except i would of added some socks if i could of found a matching pair :X

Outfit 2: Worn today! Really enjoying tulip skirts and i decided burnt orange is my favorite of the orange shades. I'm wondering about pairing this skirt next with my studded peplum top? How do you feel about that? I guess i'll have to try them on together to see what i think...

Thanks for looking!

I've been wearing this outfit quite a bit. Pretty much any day that it is super hot outside and i've been laying around being sweaty and then i realize i need to run out and do some quick errands. Super easy to just throw on and i like it a lot. :)

The shirt used to be my husbands but he no longer wanted it so i chopped it up and turned it into a tank for me. I popped a striped bandeau underneath to preserve modesty and sneak another pattern into the outfit. :)

Thanks for looking!

I wear this skirt quite a bit but i love it very much and apparently it is very versatile. :)
I also really love this top! It was a random find at a random consignment shop when i was in WI last summer for a Bon Iver concert.

And....i wore this to work! That's it i guess! Thanks for looking!

Back to work! I love this top. I "won" it off Ebay last fall when i was hardcore questing for my basics that are not basic. The first time i ever wore it my husband pointed to my back and said, "wow. you are showing a lot of skin." O.o I think what he may have meant was, "you are showing skin in an unexpected place." XD I didn't want anyone at work to have that reaction so i tried to tone down the cutouts a bit by popping a lace bodysuit underneath.

Thanks for looking! Oh and i dyed my hair is back to basic brown. Pink hair was super fun while it lasted but waaaaaaaaay too much maintenance for me. *sniff*

Today is my last day off of work before i head back from the long weekend. It's not very warm out today so i thought i'd break out the jacket! Since it pretty much scream, "Punk!" to me i thought it'd be fun to contrast that by pairing with a bunch of classic pieces.

I also kept my makeup super simple with mostly nudes and a bit of bronzer (because i like to try to carve out my non-existent cheekbones lol).

Thanks for looking!

Sorry I'm eating and food makes me hyper. :D

I looooooooove this dress! I found it last year at Nordstrom Rack and i swear the heavens parted and the angels sang. I felt like everything about it was 100% "me" AND i could afford it! Lovely day!

It was also the day when i heard a voice saying behind me, "Do NOT look at the shirts. You have enough shirts. DO. NOT. LOOK". Which at first I thought was God having an impromptu intervention with me but it actually turned out to be a lady. Completely by herself. I really wanted to be friends with her.

Thanks for looking!

So...I don't wear this silhouette of dress. I don't really care for flower prints unless it's roses and these colors aren't normally me either. But i don't know. This dress really appealed to me? Maybe it's because the print is kind of cheeky? I tried to tone down the va-va-voom with playful socks and sandals. And i like that since it's clingy it isn't too short or low cut.

So yeah. Not sure what else to say. >.> I wore this!

I feel on a whole the forum enjoys my work looks more than my casual summer looks because my shorts are...short so hopefully sharing these will be ok! Not that anyone ever said anything negative to me! Quiet the opposite. I"m just feeling 90s fashion and getting a little "grunge" in my casual clothes where as obviously my work attire needs to be more polished.

Picture 1: I cut, distressed, sewed and dyed these shorts last summer and i love how they turned out! I took my dressier shirt from the last outfit i showed and paired it with some more rugged, edgy pieces. Plus suspenders (or braces!). This is really "me" right now and one of my fav outfits i've put together for the summer.

Picture 2: Worn today. Again, really loving the 90s comeback right now. I've had this plaid shirt in my closet forever, quite abandoned and today it was perfect! I wish i had a black suede fringe bag to go with it but i guess that will have to wait until i'm shopping again.

Thanks for looking!

First - a rant: So i redid my hair and it lasted for...a week. I don't even wash my hair everyday! So i am redoing tonight and then after that i think it's back to basic brown. I don't have time to redo highlights every week nor do i want to! Plus unlike the box dye that i use it makes me clarify my hair so it's thirsty and i already have dry hair. I can't be clarifying it every week. @_@

Outfit 1: I wore something extremely similar to this before so i guess this is *kinda* a remix (i'm still a little unsure about that term...). Haven't worn this blazer in awhile and i am all about shoppin' that closet right now.

Outfit 2: Worn today. I don't really care for big bows but i am a sucker for bold stripes and sheer clothing. I'm planning on wearing this top tomorrow too but i'm going to grungify (i like to make up words) it up for a weekend look.
