What I Wore: Ruffled Shorts

Hey! Hi! Remember me?!?

I am averaging about one post a month, awesome! Does that still make me a blogger? I can say that life is crazy busy but that is nothing new. I will say that I wear pajamas and work out clothes waaayyyyy more often than I would like to admit. That kind of makes style blogging hard. I have also been working and planning behind the scenes on how/where I want this blog to go and what that actually looks like. So while I may not be super present here, this blog is not far from my thoughts! I think that some great things will happen here. SOON!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I LOVE you more than words can say!

(had to throw that in)

You all {should} know that I am a not the girliest dresser ever. I tend to mix my casual and dressier pieces together, a lot. I loved pairing my neon sweatshirt with these ruffled shorts (I love these shorts but paired with the wrong top can totally look like something my 1 year old niece would wear). I added some glitz with the necklace and wore neutral wedges to make my legs look LONG! I love how this look came together. It is perfect for the California nights as Summer turns to Fall.

What I Wore: Camo and Neutrals

I cannot focus on all that I have going on this week because I will be at Stagecoach in TWO days! I am so excited I can barely stand it! I have planned my outfits and have been working out like crazy! I cannot wait to just be by the pool! And listen to music. Obvi!

Since I have been running around like a crazy person I am sticking to the staples. It has still been warm during the day but it definitely cools down at night. I haphazardly threw this jacket on while running out the door. It was a subtle way to mix prints and the wedges still kept the look more girly, and showed off my legs! Hehe. I love the mix of the neutral stripes and the camo. Nothing Earth shattering with this look but it is very "me".

What I Wore: Chunky Knit and Prints

In so many ways I use blogging as my journal. I know exactly what I was feeling and thinking when I go back and read old posts. I love that I am able to channel my thoughts into one place even when they aren't always sunshine and rainbows! Thanks for understanding that I cannot always complete an entire thought process or share what the exact scenario is and for reading anyways!

When I saw THIS PIC of Khloe Kardashian back in July I knew I had to buy those jeans. I found them for a GREAT price on Amazon and wear them all of the time! I love that she wore such a light denim with black. I tend to wear lighter colors with lighter denim because I feel like sometimes the combo is almost too drastic. But I finally decided to try it out. I grabbed a chunky knit sweater and my fringe boots and pulled together a fun, casual look.

If you follow my on Instagram, I wore this outfit on the day I bought TWO coffees. I thought it was worth noting since I barely drink once coffee a week BUT I was exhausted! I look at these pics and see how tired I was. Minimal make up, I didn't brush my hair and dark circles. Another way to document my life... I had a GREAT date the night before. Talking to someone until 3am is always worth looking a little haggard!

Chunky Knit and Prints

 No my zipper was NOT unzipped...just laid really weird!

What I Wore

Sweater: Xhilaration (seen here in red)

Jeans: Seven for all Mankind Aztec, older (similar, similar, similar)

Boots: Minnetonka 3 Layer Fringe

What I Wore: Dinner Date

How many of you have an outfit that just makes you feel good? You put it on and you have that extra pep in your step. Sometimes it is hard to describe why certain pieces make us feel so much better about ourselves (well for me it is hard to describe at times). This outfit has been my "go to" date look all Summer long. It is just a simple silk blouse, printed linen shorts and wedges but it still feels dressier and special. I used to always wear black and I love how fresh the cream looks, especially when I am tan.

I wore this on a date last night. Yes, it is still warm enough to wear shorts. Yes, I am going to milk the Summer weather as long as possible. Haha. I hadn't worn this outfit for a couple months and realized that I am going to have to retire it. Sadly it is too big on me now and my shorts were falling off of me after an hour of wear (which is good for my weight loss). Constantly pulling up and holding your shorts while walking is definitely awkward in front of your date!

So tell me, do you have a go to "date night" look?

What I Wore: Concert Attire

It is HUMP day!

Woot! WOot! 

I always look forward to Wednesday because I know the weekend is just around the corner! Today's post is going to be short and sweet. 

I attended the Carrie Underwood concert last night. She was PHENOMENAL live! Seriously. I think she is one of the most gorgeous people in the world. And her legs. Hands down the best I have ever seen. Loved the costumes and her voice is amazing. We had FAB seats and I enjoyed the company of a really good friend who hooked the tickets up! I think this may be my last concert for the year. SAD FACE! Although I will be buying my ticket for Stagecoach Music Festival on Saturday morning! YAY!!!!

I am not one to dress up for concerts. I stick to the basics. Plus it is still hot in LA and it is always hot in the venue. I decided to wear my printed ddenim, booties and a tank. Threw on a necklace and some bangles and called it an outfit! What do you think??
