Funky Florals

blouse: H&M (similar here & here). pants: H&M (similar). shoes: Zara. purse: Michael Kors. glasses: House of Harlow.

There’s nothing like that feeling of wearing a brand new outfit. I did a bit of a shopping spree this past week. (You can’t blame me though.) The nearest H&M to me is almost 2 hours away, so when I decide to make the drive… I make it worthwhile. Hence the fact that you have been seeing more of it in my daily wardrobe.

I’m so in love with this floral print blouse. The versatility of it gives me the opportunity to throw it on with some jeans and heels like these or even with a pair of pants like the ones I have on in this outfit. I subtly snuck in the snake pattern and it fit together so perfectly. Maybe it’s because the shoes are just that amazing. It’s always fun to mix your patterns as long as you don’t go too crazy. Speaking of shoes!…. I’ve got a present for you: 40% Off All Shoes at House of Harlow! Use Coupon Code: 40OFF at Checkout!

 

You’re welcome. XO. Happy Thursday.

Doing the Polka on Twosday


top: H&M (similar & love this one from ASOS). jeans & red pants: H&M (similar). heels: Nine West. purse: Michael Kors. watch: Nixon. sunglasses: House of Harlow.

Peplum. The epitome of the lady like fit. I’ve never dabbled into the trend until now. Believe it or not, it’s my first peplum purchase. Try saying that three times fast. I couldn’t decide which way I liked better so I shot the top with two different styles. Toned down with distressed denim and funked up with matching red skinnies. While doubling up on outfit choices, I also doubled up on denim with my heels. Don’t they remind you a bit of Charlotte Olympia? Love that about these shoes. My own “steal” find.

this one's for the birds.

top: Old Navy. pants: Forever 21. shoes: Bass via TJ Maxx. purse: c/o Lo & Sons. watch: Nixon. bracelets: Spike The Punch & David Yurman.

I finally got my bird shirt from Old Navy! Wahoo! After days of pondering which color to choose, I went for the navy color… I’m so glad I did. The fit is perfect and so light and comfortable and let’s not forget about that fun print! I can’t wait to wear it again.

And now…..a big thanks to Lo & Sons for sending over their Brookline Tote! It’s the perfect bag for traveling and has made the best fit for my choice of handbag for school. It’s my last semester, so I’m always having to take my laptop to classes for projects and research. This stylish take on a briefcase fits everything from my laptop, to notebooks, pencil case, and some extra goodies like my magazines and makeup bag. So I feel much better not having to look like a bag lady. Yeah, I know you’re thinking, “…that bag? fits all of that?” OH yeah…They’ve got proof for you. Check out their video, here.

To add to all it’s greatness, is the pop of color it will add to any outfit I’ll be wearing. Because you know me, I’m not…well…blah. I’m so excited to be able to use it to it’s full potential this summer for all my traveling plans! Cue in the expression of excitement here:

I’ll take my outfits in twos please.

 

I’m beginning to like this whole two outfit “Twosday” thing I got going on here.  It’s fun to make two outfits out of one item from my closet. I went with a similar flow of neutrals in these outfits. Kept the same pants, shoes, and jewelry… but made them individual with a pop of print and color.

the basics:
pants: Love 21 (similar). shoes: (not pictured) Steve Madden. list of things inhabiting my wrist: H&M orange wrap bracelet, Nixon watch, David Yurman bracelet,  ID bracelet (old). ring: Forever 21.

Look #1
top: Twelve by Twelve (old). clutch: H&M (similar).

Look #2
top: River Island (old).  clutch: Forever 21.
