Simple Sunday

The joys of simplicity:

After a long week with a lot of complications, obligations, but also immense joys I decided to take it easy today and it comes through in my outfit.

Today I am wearing a yellow wrap top with multiple sashes as belts around my waist and my faintly seer-sucker style shorts. For accessories I have a bright blue wooden bracelet, and a few gifted necklaces. My Sprout watch is always at attendance and I chose my purple sandals to complete the outfit.

Simple shapes and fun colors make every outfit interesting.

Outfit:
Top: H&M ($14)
Shorts: H&M ($20)
Shoes: H&M ($20)
Necklaces and bracelet: Gifts, long necklace is vintage ($0)
Watch: Sprout ($20)

I really like how this top matches the flowers at the bottom left of this picture!

Today my marm and I had a magical day at Maribel.  Both of us found tons of stuff and a coat for my genius cousin.  The coral top is one of the awesome finds from my time at Maribel today.  I LOVE 60s style hippie tops.  I am always drawn to gauzy, embroidered shirts.  This one has eyelets, which are a-okay in my book.  I also really like the crochet detailing at the top of this shirt.  The instant I put it on in the dressing room I knew it was love! Its definitely a boxy top, but not everything has to be fitted all the time.  I really like how it looks with my jeans and basic metallic flats.  Plus the color is awesome. 

The top doesn't have the eyelets on it, but it still has a gathering detailing which I like too!

Hope everybody is having a fabulous weekend!  It supposed to get rainy here soon . . . .Boo!

Today is Saturday and Jim Henson's Birthday (Happy Birthday!!) as well as my friend Ben's B-day AND Nathan's B-day. What a day right? Despite all the celebratory cheer in the air, the air and day is equally muggy and cloudy, with the serious possibility of rain. Despite that I decided to have a fun outfit with pattern, some color, and serious accessories.

Today I chose my H&M dress with the diamond print on it. I like the high cinched aspect right below the bodice as well as the print. If it gets chilly I chose my little boy plaid from Good Will (50 cents!) and some lovely necklaces, including a unicorn pendant. Of course the Sprout watch is here to represent time and its importance and a HUGE colorful ring. For shoes I chose my purple flats so I can run around.

Overall I am happy with the outfit but I need to finish this post so I will say HAPPY WEEKEND!

Forgetten Favorites

Today I broke out some of my old favorites that I have been neglecting for a while.  I wore these jeans non-stop last winter and don't think I have worn them in months.  Similarly, with the top, when I first bought it it was all I wanted to wear, but I haven't touched it in months either.  Then this morning, both of them seemed like the perfect things to wear.  I did pair them with my go to gray cardigan which I have been wearing non-stop for the past month or so.  These jeans are a little long, so I probably should have worn them with heels, but I knew I would be running around today so instead I borrowed my marm's bow flats.

Finally Friday

AHHHH The can smell the weekend coming and I am so excited for it. To  have a slight break from the madness of my life is something to look forward to, so I am pulling out a new item, a dress for $5 that I am excited to share with you guys and girls!

So I am a flea market shopper by heart, I love looking through all the items and digging for treasure. Maybe I have some pirate or secret agent in me because I love to search out treasure and love the chase. Anyhoo a week ago or so I went to the Green Market and found this really bright, strange dress. It was prairey like, with metal buttons but I loved it and paid the $5 so it would be mine.

Paired with this dress is a yellow t-shirt (because it can be a bit revealing), a sash belt for the waist, and my red Urban Outfitters flat. For accessories I chose my turquoise necklace and my Sprout watch. OH and I have to wear a blazer for my office, so I chose my military cropped one, to not crowd the outfit.

Tip of the Day: Head to a flea market, you never know what you will find!

Outfit:
Dress: Flea Market ($5)
Blazer: H&M ($20)
T-Shirt ($5)
