Neutral Tones

With a seemingly long week ahead I wanted to dress down and be comfy. I am obviously on a white jean binge and feel the need to get as many uses as I can before labor day. Yes, I am that person. I love this weird tunic top I got from Details boutique in Indy. It's so cute with it's hood. It can be worn as a dress, but I'm not big on short...anything, so I opt out. Hope you all enjoy this record low weather and beautiful day.

Pretty in Pink

It's an epically beautiful day here in Indy, so I figured florals and a bright pink skirt was a must. This outfit is just more proof that my style is all over the place. I am all about wearing what makes you feel beautiful and comfortable in your own skin. I don't really subscribe to any kind of style, which leads to a girly look one day, hipster the next, and rounding out with street style. I find pieces that I love and make them work with what I have. Style is really just living, breathing art. Ah, thus end my blabbering. Have a great weekend!

Bow-tastic

As you all know, I love rain boots! Practicality and fashion can often be forged to create a trend that helps us all...hence rain boots! Why not stop ruining our sandals, sneakers, and suede shoes and opt for a rubber sole. The fashion industry caught on and here come the $150 pairs of rain boots. Although I do love my hunters, I'm cheating on them a bit today with this super cute pair of Dizzy short galoshes with a bow. They've been kind of hard to pair, so obviously I opted for all black. I love rainy days and boots, so rain boots are a marriage made in heaven for my wardrobe. If only I could snuggle on the couch all day. Have a great (not too soggy) day!

Summer Ruffles

I love bright fun colors! I have a very bi-polar style, some days I wear all black and white and very simple, but other days I break out the bright colors and statement pieces. I don't like to fit into a "style box", gotta keep them guessing! I love this pink top from Ann Taylor. I got it in a really pretty green too! I tend to get multiple colors of items I really like. This top is great for a professional look and for a fun summer look. Pairing a pop of color with the classic white jeans makes for a perfect summery look. Well, I'm off to enjoy this beautiful day with my mom!

Simply Hipster

Ended up wearing this monochromatic number to the Brew Fest. I wanted to be comfy and I didn't want to get my dress dirty. I love this new headband I purchased at A Do. It's a perfect little accessory for a simple outfit. The Brew Fest was beyond fun! There were so many people, it was like a small city of beer enthusiasts. I will definitely go again next year! There were rows and rows of breweries cheerfully handing out their favorite ales. A couple food trucks kept the hungry masses fed with pizza, tacos, and hot dogs. A drinking fool's heaven.

We headed to Union Jacks following and indulged in some chips and queso. I couldn't stomach one more pint of beer, so I opted for wine instead. All in all, it was such a fantastic evening filled with fun and friends.

Free as a bird..

By the grace of the work gods I was able to get the entire day off today! It worked out perfectly, because now I can join Aaron, Michael, and Krista at the Indiana MicroBrewers Festival! I'm so excited for some good beer, great friends, and fried food. Does it get any better than that? I love this Free People dress. It's so flowy and beautiful, the fabric is above and beyond all of my other dresses. Every now and then I can see the point of buying a nicer, more expensive brand and this is one. Free People has always lived up to the price with exceptional quality and trend setting styles. The neck on this dress is a low cut v-neck, so for coverage I add the scarf...and for an accessory. Well, I'm off to a fun filled day! Have a great one.

Working hard to stay in style!

Since I have a 10 hour work shift ahead of me, I decided it would be nice to be super comfy for the first job! You all know I love these boyfriend jeans from AE, throw on a simple tank and scarf and voila! A comfy casual outfit. I love that style is not only reserved for "dressing up". I think that fashion is leaning to the comfier street style looks. Gotta love it!

Is summer over?

The answer is no...but with this 70 degree weather it sure feels like it. Don't get me wrong, I love 70 degree weather, but after the winter we had I want a long hot summer! As I write this post, the news is informing me that heat and humidity will return next week. Phew! With the cooling temps my outfit is not lacking in fabric. I love this watercolor shawl sweater because it's light and pretty. I paired it with the pink tank so there was just a little summery colors going on. Can't have a comfy laid back look without slip on sneaks.

With my ruffled top under a gold shimmery peplum tee I felt inspired by Degas! This pose is one of many he emphasized in his work. Granted, this pose was totally by accident, but I feel like it works! I love this little ruffled tank as a layering piece. it's a nice simple piece that adds, quite literally, some flare. Have a great day and enjoy this beeaauutiful weather!
