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.

Something Borrowed.

hat: given to me by my grandfather. (similar) top: Banana Republic via Goodwill. (similar) skirt: Forever 21 (similar skirt, different print). sandals: Steve Madden (old). purse: Forever 21. sunglasses: Forever 21.

The weather this weekend was absolutely…beachy. So what better timing to throw together a light and airy outfit with a panama-style hat? This hat actually used to belong to my “Abuelo Gordo” (aka: Fat Grandpa). Years ago when I was visiting him at his house in Spain, I couldn’t help but ask him every time he wore it if I could wear it instead. I think because I asked him so much, he just let me keep it. It’s a great hat! I love to wear it out to the beach or even days like this where I’m spending the afternoon shopping.

Thanks Abuelo!

bold colors, animal and floral prints, and black and whites.

Oh, the typical description of most things inhabiting my closet space. And after this week, the percentage only increases. Need to do some “spring cleaning” soon to make some space. Be excited…this only means I’ll probably be selling some of my closet and it’s your chance to have a piece of me in your life. Lovely, I promise. Here’s a few things I picked up this week that will make me closer to being a broke city chick.
