Girly Grunge

With my new hair, I've been trying different styles to see which vibe suits my current look best.

I can't quite seem to figure it out-- but, I felt like today I came close.

I wanted to go a little more grungy with my makeup-- doing a smokey eye and contoured cheeks.

But my natural fashion instinct always desires a little bit of girly-ness.

So here's what I came up with:

My plaid shirt-dress is from my dear exchange sister Luciana from Brazil. Lu, if you're reading this-- I'm sorry I'm wearing your dress haha, can't remember if you handed this one down to me or just left it here!

I felt like this grey-blue color went well with my smokey eyes and gave the grunge effect I was desiring.

But, to make this look "girly grunge" I relied heavily on accessories.

My charcoal grey bag is from Forever 21. 

If you couldn't tell by now, I'm obsessed with rings. I grabbed several of my favorite gold ones and put them on my non-dominant hand. Layers of rings are really in right now so I figured why not?

My riding boots are from Forever 21 (imagine that)

I felt like boots were a great way to add the "grunge" effect; but also, riding boots are a more girly boot in my opinion. So it balanced out. 

My bronze pearl necklace is from Forever 21. I'm obsessed with long necklaces if I haven't made that clear already. :)

I chose to wear my big, rambunctious, fake pearl earrings-- because, YOLO.

Oh and we must not forget my simple tan waist belt-- came with a dress from Forever 21. Waist belts are great to make something baggy more flattering.

So the moral of today is-- be a little spontaneous with your style every now and then! If you wanna give off a different aura today-- do it! But remember to stay true to yourself too! Balance is everything.

Peace and Love!

Rain or Shine

Any Floridian knows that the term "sunshine state" is quite possibly the most misused nickname ever.

I feel like our license plates should say "rain rain go away" at the bottom.

-_-

Anyways, yesterday was a rainy day.

I thought.

Then it turned decent on me.

Luckily, my outfit worked either way. 

My olive green jacket is from Charlotte Russe. It provided just the right amount of coverage I needed for the morning drizzle.

I dressed up the jacket with my chic white blouse from H&M. This was a steal I found during my time in NYC. Love the empire waist and texture of the fabric. 

Because it was so hot and muggy, I figured leggings were a more "breathable" way to go. I chose my basic navy blue ones from Forever 21. 

I love to wear my rain boots when I feel like I can. Walking through puddles with sandals or flats is never fun. I also love the beige with this color combo. You can find a similar pair at Loehmann's.

I kept the accessories light; wearing a couple of bronze bangles and basic stud earrings. 

Peace and Love!

Chambray Ombre'

New ombre' hair calls for a more laid back style. 

Today I chose my favorite chambray shirt to be the main piece of my outfit.

Since it was slightly cool this morning, I decided to layer this chambray shirt (Kohl's) over a casual grey t-shirt from Forever 21. 

My dark skinnies are from Forever 21 and my studded flats are from Rainbow.

For jewelry, I chose this eagle necklace from H&M and a simple gold midi ring from American Eagle.


Peace and Love!
