I will admit that it took me a while to warm up to rompers but now I see them as a fun, easy alternative to sundresses. They can be as casual as shorts and a tee but with a little more interest. Simple to style all you need is a belt, sunglasses, maybe a necklace, and great pair of sandals.
Call me crazy but I think if you found just the right well structured romper in a solid color it could be the the perfect substitute for a cocktail dress.
{ F21 dress (worn as a skirt), top, belt & flats; necklace from some shop in England }
Last summer, I went to England to visit my dad's side of the family, and I ended up buying a crap-load of clothes and jewelry. I wanted to have things to wear that I didn't see on every other girl at the mall or at school. I think most girls enjoy that feeling, right? The problem is that I don't remember where the heck I bought all my accessories and such, so I'm stuck with describing them as "some shop in England". Just wanted to clarify I'm not deliberately not telling you where I got my items from, I simply can't remember. I do, however, remember getting this particular necklace at a grocery store that resembled America's Walmarts. Fellow Brits, help me out here!
Also, you may or may not have noticed I am, yet again, wearing my dress as a skirt. Yes, this is the 3rd time doing this in my 30x30 challenge, wanna fight about it? Joking. I did something a tad bit different this time though: I flipped the top of the dress inside the bottom part (as opposed to just wearing the whole dress underneath). I was surprised at how simple and non-poofy it was; I should've done that for this outfit instead of tucking my shirt into my belt. Now I know!
Since temperatures here has been in the mid-nineties all week it is undeniably Summer. These are my top picks from the Summer trends and warm weather essentials.
I didn't end up writing that paper as I had hoped, so tonight I really need to buckle down! Sometimes I completely loathe my uncanny ability to procrastinate until the last second. So this post will be short and sweet!
First of all, GOOD NEWS! I made a 98 on my midterm exam in my class called "Race, Ethnicity, and the Media." I love that class; it has really opened my eyes a lot and has made me view the world as well as minorities, stereotypes, racism, and the media in a whole new perspective. Hopefully one day I can share what I've learned on this blog.
Trae and I have found a potential candidate for the new DSLR camera we want to buy! It's the Canon Rebel T2i which looks pretty amazing. Does anyone else use this camera for their blog? Or maybe something similar? This camera is going to cost a pretty penny, so we've decided to share the price. I am so excited! However, I was planning on using my savings for a general admission ticket for Taylor Swift's concert coming in October (I love her), but it looks like I may have to wait. :( Maybe I will get lucky and someone will buy me tickets for my birthday hehe.
So, the reason behind the title of this post is that I'm going to start a series of (hopefully) weekly posts where I basically just let you guys know a few random things that I'm currently loving! Or as the English girl in me would say, the things I fancy... haha. Seriously, they really do say that a lot. Or at least my cousins and their friends do. All of the photos will be linked back to where I originally found them. So here's the first list! :)
1. Lace
You can wear lace so many different ways!
2. Feathers
So cute for earrings.
3. Polka-dots
The 50s are making a comeback.
4. Pattern tights
Love love love these.
5. Floral shorts
I want some so bad!
6. Geek-Chic glasses
Unfortunately, I have yet to find a pair that doesn't make me look ridiculous.
7. Tribal patterns
I actually have this dress in another color hehe.
8. Stripes
I can't get enough.
9. Nautical
Summer is fast approaching!
10. Combat boots
I found a GREAT pair once at Aldo, but they would have cost an arm and a leg! Sigh.
Tell me what you think! What new trends are you loving right now?
