What I Wore: The Seventies called...

...and they totally want their pants back!

I went out on a limb here. These pants are a little out there but I kind of love them, a lot. The printed pant and the pajama pant is totally in right now. I do think it is a tough look to pull off. And I totally think that I will be able to style these a little better when it gets a little cooler. We shall see.

Since the pants are loud (and they are kind of silky and stretchy making you feel like you are wearing nothing) I went with a basic white tee and some seveties looking platforms. It is basic up top and a total explosion of Seventies sass on the bottom.

How are you feeling about this trend?

Will you be trying some printed pants this Fall?

Tee: My favorite tee ever from Target, Mossimo BF V Neck

Printed pants: Kiki La'Rue 'Mocha Swirl Palazzo Pants'

What I Wore: Black and White

Summer's fun and the livings easy!

Especially when it comes to dressing.

I have a big weekend ahead of me. One of my bestest is getting married!

I am so excited for her and I just know that the wedding is going to be beautiful. Hopefully I will be getting a couple outfit shoots in!

This look makes a statement with just two pieces. If it isn't a maxi dress than I am pulling on a maxi skirt (or my cutoffs but I am sure you are sick of seeing those if you follow me on Instagram). I love how flattering this skirt is. The chevron gives me shape and pairing it with a drapey tank means that I have room to breathe! I threw on flat studded sandals and a basic pendant.

I am going to make this short and sweet because that is better than no post at all, right??

I have another Kiki La'Rue beauty for you! I have been searching high and low for a leopard maxi for years. I finally found one that fits well, even with a large print, and hides all of my flaws. This dress is super comfy, feels kind of like pajamas, but fancier! I can wear it with flats or heels. Sass it up with some jewelry or keep it super simple.

I cannot stop wearing maxi dresses. An entire outfit, that makes you look pulled together in one piece is just too good to be true!

Speaking of Kiki La'Rue... only one day left to enter the $50 Giveaway!

Happy Friday!

This week FLEW by. But then again time flies when you are having fun! I have a couple of fun things planned for the holiday weekend, including my best friend's birthday! I am excited to eat, drink, lay in the sun and dance. All of those things make me happy, happy, happy!!

This outfit was from a few weeks ago when we had a couple random chillier days. I am in love with this sweater and it is on major sale. It is lightweight, the perfect length and comes in prints and solids. Mint and taupe is a great color combo. Paired it with dark denim and my booties. I LOVE how the mint makes my eyes pop!

What I Wore:

Sweater: Old Navy Boatneck 

Jeans: Old Navy Rockstar

Booties: Mossimo 'Kaelyn'

Bracelets: Stella and Dot

What I Wore: Honing In

The great thing about blogging your outfits is that it is really easy to hone in on your comfortability and go to style. My look lately has been very casual, pretty basic and tends to incorporate color. I also tend to favor flats more than my heels. This has NEVER happened! Haha. I am also leaning towards any pant that is distressed! I love my rips and tears.

I love the sass of the hot pink in this outfit. Pairing the scarf with the basics pulled the whole look together.

Honing In

What I Wore:

Top: Mossimo V Neck, My FAV! (old color but I bought the neon coral a few weeks ago and LOVE it!)

Scarf: c/o FRAAS

Belt: BP from Nordy's, OLD (super similar)

What I Wore: Pop Color and Snake

Happy Monday err, I mean, Tuesday!
I want to make sure and send my prayers and condolences to the City of Boston and the victims of yesterday's tragedy. It broke my heart to know that our country has another tragedy to overcome and to know that so many people are hurting!

I have NOT been in a blogging mood at all. No real reason why. I think my focus has been on work and my fitness. It is consuming me! Hopefully I will get some mojo back! I have been pinning for some inspiration and I have some cute outfits planned. Thanks for sticking with me through yet, another, dry spell!

I wore this outfit for date night. It is pretty simple. Silk blouse, skinny jeans and snake-print stilettos. I accented with gold accessories. I love the orange with the neutral print. I like how the look pulled together. Plus I felt sexy!

Win win, in my book.

Pop Color and Snake

Bracelet: Jewelmint 'Birdcage' 

Necklace: Lisa Leonard 'Chevron' 

What I Wore: Chambray Pants

You guys!

When I find something that I LOVE I have to share it with you. I mean, I must! I picked up these pants at Target the other day. Chambray and Boot cut, I had NOTHING like them in my closet. I think that they are the perfect pair of pants for Spring! I am obsessed with Chambray anything because of the versatility of the color/fabrication.I rolled them up to wear with sandals but they are long enough to be worn a little dressier with wedges. They are so comfy. Plus I forgot how flattering boot cut can be (I LOVE my skinnies and extreme flares. Boot Cut has not been worn in at least 2 years! Craziness!). I imagine wearing these pants with a strappy white embroidered tank, or with a sheer white button up and a fedora. So many ideas for these new pants!

I paired the pants with my go to tee. Are you sick of seeing this tee in every color variation yet? For $8... It really is a no brainer. I recently picked it up in a neon coral and pastel stripe. And I own multiples in white and gray. Since the tee is so plain, and the pants are plain I sassed up the look with a scarf and bold gold accessories. Simple, yet chic. 

Chambray Pants

What I Wore:

Top: Mossimo V Neck (MY FAVORITE EVER)

Pants: Mossimo Chambray Boot Cut

Sandals: Valentino 'Rock stud', last years color (Same sandal in bronze)

Scarf: c/o World Market

Watch: Michael Kors 'Large Runway'

Necklace: Lisa Leonard 'Chevron'

Belt: BP, SOOOOO OLD!

Coffee Date/Hang Out Sesh

Happy, Happy, Happy Friday!

It has been a helluva week. I feel like I am on a never ending roller coaster ride, and I am ready to get off now. This should make for a very interesting post. I kind of have diarrhea of the mouth when I am feeling like this. 

Sooooo.....

If we were having coffee and hanging out today, this is what I'd share:

- Job Hunting is a B-I-T-C-H. Yup I said it. I swear I thought it would be easier. I have been proven wrong. I have applied and I wait. Apply and wait. It is making me crazy, I tell you!

- I got my hair done and I am headed to a wedding tonight. I am excited to wear my new dress and rock a fun new hairstyle (inspired by Reese and Emma) . I also LOVE celebrating love. I am so happy for my friends and am honored to be celebrating them!

- When it comes to matters of the heart, I know nothing. I don't know what I am doing. Love is hard. I am afraid I lost a good one this week. Praying I didn't but I just don't know.

- I have cried more times this week than I have in the last three months. I hate it. Blah!

- I got invited to attend Lucky FABB which I am super excited about. I am *trying* to find a way to pay for my ticket so I can go! UGH! It would be such an incredible time. Is anyone going???

- I am running a 5K a week from Saturday. At Angels Stadium. I am so excited to be running another race. Plus we get to go to the game that night. BASEBALL is back. Woohoo! I heart baseball season. A lot!

- I would tell you that I didn't get to work out once this week due to a big fat bruise on my inner thigh from riding the bull at the Bachelorette party last weekend. It is HUGE, gnarly looking, black and purple and hurts to touch. My legs touch. So even walking is painful. Which means that running and cardio has been pretty much impossible. It sucks because the ONE week I REALLY needed working out as an outlet, I didn't have it. Probably why this week has been extra hard to deal with. I am craving it!

- Music is getting me through the ups and down. I have been getting in my car to drive and blow off steam and my radio level is at 50+. So loud and I don't have a system in my car. I just have a deep need to feel the music at the core of my soul. Literally. I love feeling my body shake from the vibrations.

- I would tell you that I am OBSESSED with THESE heels, that I am dying to buy these in camo and I really, really, really have to have these pants in my closet in the blue color (worn with a loose tank, wedges and straw fedora. Summer Style!). What are you currently coveting??

So tell me what is going on with you! Share something funny or light hearted if you can. Or commiserate with me and share what has been troubling you! Nothing is off limits. Good or Bad we just need to keep it real!

Thanks for reading about my awful week! 

It can only get better! I really believe that!

What I Wore: I look like a boy

This is what happens when you just don't care what you look like. Haha.

I ran out the door to meet my BFF for lunch and to run errands together. It was gloomy and a bit chilly. I didn't feel like doing my hair or putting on make up. Let's just blame it on a case of the Monday Blues after a great weekend!

Side Note: I am TRYING to figure out how to connect my domain to Blogger. If anyone has suggestions, please email me. I swear I have Googled and followed the instructions and am missing something. I appreciate any help! Thank you!

What I Wore: Mint Chip

My inspiration and creativity has been very spotty lately. Some days hours I am FULL of great ideas, photo sesh locations and words, then nothing. It is craziness I tell ya! I have been utilizing my Pinterest boards to keep myself going. I created (wrote down) quite a few outfits that I want to try in the upcoming weeks. Luckily Spring is just around the corner and I have great options for the warmer days and cooler nights!

Today's look was inspired by this pin!

It has become apparent, after looking through my closet and drawers, that I have an obsession with gray tops. Sweatshirts, Tees and Tanks I tend to gravitate towards gray. So when I saw this look, I knew I had all of the pieces to pull it off. It is a casual cool feel and perfect for Spring!
