Chambray chic...

Gotta love a good chambray shirt. It's the comfort of a cotton button up with the style and diversity of denim. I paired this top with my graduation dress. I snagged that beauty from yet again, American Eagle! I love mixing up a bunch of neutrals for a simple yet trendy look.

Call me cargo...

This cargo vest is one of those great finds amongst the atrocities of the most recent sale. One must have a lot of perseverance to keep searching through the bad to find the good and rarely I can muster up said strength. I often find items at American Eagle that don' often scream 'I'm a trendy 15 year old!' and people are always shocked to hear the items' whereabouts. Pairing this vest with a simple black dress and black statement sandals was a no brainer. What's your favorite cargo style?

Look out Kelly Kapowski

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Fashion ebbs and flows. That being said, the 80's are back...pause for reaction...

Yay! (that's my reaction)

Well, that might just be me, but I absolutely love when old trends come back. It's fun to channel a different time and reinvent a style from a past era. Today's look is eerily similar to one or a hundred episodes of Saved by the Bell. White washed denim is 80's enough, but paired with denim jeans. Hello!! Gotta love some denim on denim. What's your favorite "old" trend?

Half and Half

I saw on a fashion blog recently the half up half down top knot. Found the look here. Needless to say, I am in love. I absolutely love top knots, but after a long haul to grow my hair it's nice to wear it down. Now, I have the best of both worlds! Yay! 

It's Wednesday, so happy hump day. I still think it's so weird to say that, but what the heck have a good one anyway. I needed a simple comfortable outfit after a very long, very stressful day. When I think comfort, I think jeans and a flowy tank. That combo can be extremely boring, so my go to accessory is a scarf. I have never cared much about seasonal wear, I try to incorporate a lot of pieces for all seasons, scarves are one of them. They make very lightweight scarves for summer, so I opt for those! 

Hope you like it

Slouchtastic

Sometimes a girl just needs a fully slouchy outfit. Having absolutely nothing tight, low-cut, or revealing in any way. This outfit does just that. 

I am a huge fan of the boyfriend fit, they are trendy and comfy. In the world of fashion, I believe that's a win. The jeans combined with this super comfy tank and low wedges makes for an incredibly easy look for Sunday lunch. I hope you all have a great week, many more looks to come! 

p.s.

I have been playing with the idea of a vintage series. Thoughts?

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.

Rocking to the BEAT

Yes, this is another Beatles shirt. I love the Beatles and screen tees so why not marry the two! I love this bowler hat from Urban Outfitters and it feels very fitting or a Beatles inspired look. Hats are one of those fashion accessories that are hard to wear, at least for me, but I still try. I always wonder if I look "too much" with a hat, but in the end, who cares? I love accessories and making a simple outfit a little more daring and hats are great for that. My skinnies and Tom's wedges make this look simple, monochromatic, and super comfy. Hope you like it!

A little PEPlum in my step!

I was very excited to snatch up this amazing necklace at A Do Hair Design! I got to snag this baby for a great price and I'm sure it will be paid off with compliments in no time. I'm not a huge jewelry person, but if I do get jewelry I tend to get statement pieces. Why not, right? I struggled to figure out a good outfit to pair with this stunning necklace, but thankfully I had this leopard peplum top lurking in the back of my closet. I've had this shirt for over a year and this is the first time I've had the guts to wear it! Every girl has items they bought with the best intentions, but self critical tendencies lean to your changing right before you actually wear it out. I have many and decided that I needed to start wearing them or sell them! Incentives work! What items in your closet need a little love??

Fashion Staple: Trench Coat

Another week, another fashion staple! One of my favorites is the trench coat, because not only is it a fashion staple it is also a great statement piece (series idea...) and can be worn so many different ways. As much as I'd love to indulge in a beautiful Burberry trench, I posted a much more modest one from H&M. What's your favorite fashion staple?
