It’s officially back to school season as well as the last week of August. Boy, did the summer months fly by! I have to admit, with classes back in session, I am looking forward to fall. From the fall outfits, festivities, and warm treats I am ready to start transitioning to the fall season. I love all the seasons but the transition from one season to the next is my favorite.
Since there is only one more week left in August before Labor Day, I’m trying to wear white as much as I can. This outfit is perfect for one last summer event or heading to class if you are back to classes like me.
Wearing all the white I can before Labor Day
You may recognize this top and that’s because I have worn it before with this outfit. I love to try and find clothing that can be reborn in any season and this top is the perfect example of something that can be worn all year round. I love the material as well as the small striped pattern.
The top is dark so I decided to balance it out with these white shorts-one last hurrah before Labor Day-yes, I am a firm believer of not wearing white after Labor Day. I love how the two materials and colors balance each other out.The top is from Francesca’s and the bottoms are from Marshall’s, both from a few years back but still in great condition.
Lastly, to top of this fun outfit, I decided to wear my slip on fashionable sneakers. I got mine from Target for a great price. I love how I can wear them transitioning from summer to fall. I wanted to change it up to accommodate the warm weather instead of wearing sneakers or converse. These shoes are more dresses and not as casual. They are also supportive for walking around campus all day.
That’s a peak into what I am wearing this last week of August. With Labor Day coming up, what are your plans for the weekend? I’ll be at school relaxing and catching up on homework. Have a great weekend!
Well, I am back to school and work. It has been a busy week, but I got a chance to snap some pictures of the latest outfit I am wearing. This is another fun outfit for shopping, relaxing, running errands or catching up with friends.
This would not be an outfit for the office but instead heading to class. Even though I have gotten older and have spent more time transitioning to business attire, I still love to have some fun outfits to hang out in.
Let’s break down the outfit details.
Sun’s out for the last few days of summer
We will start with the top, yes, I have no shame admitting that I am a fan of Keeping up with the Kardashians. It’s definitely a guilt pleasure for me. Who doesn’t love to watch family drama go down? Haha! A few years back I visited one of the Kardashian’s stores, DASH, in New York City and I got this shirt. I don’t wear it often, but when I do I like to dress it up with some outfits. Rather than just have a plain black t-shirt, dress it up with something fun!
I have had these shorts for the longest time. I honestly don’t remember where I got them from, sorry! Once again, I don’t wear them often since they are a bright color, but when I do it’s typically when I am out and about running errands or doing something fun.
My shoes are my favorite part of the outfit. I got them from DSW and I absolutely love them. Not only is the concept super cool but they really can change a look. I have worn them with shorts mostly, but I haven’t tried them with a dress, stay tuned to see if it works!
Lastly, I had to touch on my sunglasses. I have a few different styles of sunglasses, but the aviators worked great with the look I was going for.
I hope you enjoyed a peak into what I am wearing this week! What are your weekend plans?
Hi guys!! Happy Thursday! Today I am heading back to school. Summer went by so fast, don’t get me wrong, I accomplished so much and had a wonderful summer, but I am still sad that it’s over. I will be posting a full summer recap later. For now, let’s just focus on this cute summer dress.
I got it in the spring and I have worn it so much this summer. It made a perfect sundress to throw on for a dinner party, relaxing after swimming, running errands, heading to Church or even as a cover up after a long day of swimming to throw over your bathing suit. ! There are so many cute things about this dress I don’t know where to begin!
A perfect summer dress for any occasion
Let’s start with the where I got It from. I got this dress from Land’s End. I used to get a lot of my clothes there when I was younger, but as I have gotten older, I haven’t shopped there as much. I do always love the good quality of their clothes and love all their styles. I always look through their catalogues, who knows maybe there will be some more Land’s End in the future.
Next up are the colors, I love the mix of whites, pinks, and oranges. They are the true colors of summer to me, not only were they bright but also colorful and cheery. I also love the cut and style of the dress. I like how it is more open and flowly. Plus, my favorite part? It has pockets!!! What girl doesn’t like a dress or skirt with pockets?!
Up close of the top
This dress can either be dressed up or down. I have dressed it down with my favorite pair of tan sandals from Kelly and Katie that I got from DSW. I have also dressed it up with a pair of nude wedges that I also got from DSW.
A more dressed up look
I love how versatile this dress can be, that is one thing I always look for when it comes to clothes, can it be worn in more than one way and what’s the practicality of it.
Looking back on how fast summer went by
Also, another shout of to my cousin Grace for capturing these great shots. Have a great weekend everyone!
Today’s outfit is another one that I mixed and matched together based on clothes I already had in my closet. I love putting new outfits together whether they are for working in the office, going out with friends, or just running errands and relaxing.
Soaking up the last few days of summer
Before, I get down to the details of my outfit, I want to give a shout out to my cousin Grace for these great pictures. She is so talented with her photography and I love when we are able to work together with taking pictures. I saw family a few weeks ago (one of my bucket list items complete) and she was able to take some great shots for me for my blog. Be sure to keep your eyes open for some new pictures coming soon.
A fun summer’s day outfit
Now, onto the outfit details. I was running errands when I wore this cute number and it was a perfect play clothes outfit. I got this t-shirt from Old Navy a few years ago, I don’t wear it too much since it is very casual but when I am just relaxing it’s a quick top to throw on and I love the deep blue color.
These shorts are my favorite part of the outfit, most of the time my top is the statement piece but today it is my shorts. I also got these shorts from Old Navy a few years back too. I love the paint like design on the shorts and how fun they are too. In all honesty, I haven’t bought shorts in a while due to the fact, I am working a lot now and I don’t dress down a lot, but whenever I need a pair of shorts, Gap or Old Navy are my go-to’s!
Just in case it is chilly, I always have a sweater with me. This long blue sweater always does the trick, it is light enough to protect me frim the sun but also heavy enough for keep me warm from a light summer breeze.

Lastly, I am wearing my favorite summer sandals from Kelly and Katie at DSW. I love the natural color of them not to mention they provide support for a lot of walking and they look cute. All good things in my book.
That completes this carefree summer outfit. The days of summer are winding down for me as I will be heading back to school soon. Now, get off the computer and have some fun outside. Have a great weekend!
Today’s outfit is all about sporty chic. Don’t get me wrong, I love to dress up for work and other outings as well as look cute when I am out and about. I found the perfect mix for both sporty and chic with this workout outfit.
When I haven’t been working, I have been on the go, running errands, or dropping my siblings off at sporting events. Sometimes, I feel like I am a soccer mom especially when I am in this workout outfit and dropping them off at practice in a mini van! Haha!!!
Always on the go
So here are the details, I got this workout shirt from Nike. I like how it is loose fitting and longer, it is not skin tight, and it is very breathable. Not to mention, it is also very comfortable. These are all qualities that I am looking for when I am shopping for workout clothes. I also love the white, I can wear this top with so many outfits. I can wear them with athletic shorts in the summer, leggings in the winter, or crop pants in the spring or fall. I love to mix and match them.
Trying to be sporty
I got these black shorts from MarleyLilly, my favorite part about them? They are monogrammed!! How cute are my initials on these shorts!? These shorts go perfect with my white workout top. These shorts are good quality and the monogram dresses them up a bit, you can wear these shorts out and about and not look like you are heading to the gym.
Monogrammed shorts
And if I didn’t love monogrammed things enough, my black baseball hat is also monogrammed. This hat can be worn with other outfits and not just sporty ones, but I liked tying in all my black and white and monograms in one look.

These sneakers are also practical for running errands or being out and about. Although, they are not matching the black and white, they certainly go with the sporty look. I got mine from the Nike store. These are my go-to sneakers for the gym. They are comfortable and long lasting. I have had them for three years and are still pleased with them.
That’s what I’m wearing on the go and in the gym. Where are you favorite places to get athletic wear from?
For all you fashion lovers out here, today I have a real treat for you. Double fashion posts this week!!As we make our way through summer, I find myself using the same accessories over and over again. Some are new, some I have had for years. These accessories become staples in my wardrobe and are must haves for me. Now, some are very specific while others are more general.
Here’s a look into my favorite summer accessories.
Bold necklace
I love a bold necklace, especially in the summer. I have gotten chunky necklaces from Old Navy,Francesca’s, and even Target. I not only like getting a variety of colors to mix and match with outfits, but I also love the different shapes and patterns that big necklaces come in. These eye-catching necklaces are perfect to dress up a solid color dress, blouse, or t-shirt. You can also dress up an outfit by just adding a statement necklace and earrings. Here are a few of my favorite necklaces that are constantly seen around my neck.

Gold Jewelry
Speaking of jewelry, when I have a busy outfit, or I am not in the mood to accessorize- which let’s be honest can happen. This summer I have been turning to simple gold jewelry to get me through the day. I used to only wear silver jewelry but now I find myself wearing gold jewelry more and more especially in the summer. I like how it’s simple and not too overwhelming, but you don’t feel naked without having no jewelry. Here are my essentials. I love a set of gold balls, these are a perfect size-not too big and not too small. They are also great for a professional setting, not too flashy but just enough to look like you can dress for the job. I also pair my earrings with this simple gold Gemini necklace. I got mine from Francesca’s, it’s very personal but also simple. I got this “love” ring from Alex and Ani for my birthday. Anyone who knows me, knows that I adore Sex and the City. When I saw this ring, I couldn’t help but think about Carrie and Big. This ring is perfect for dressing up a business casual outfit. Finally, these bracelets from Alex and Ani are perfect to finish off a polished and professional outfit.

-Fun flats
After starting my internship, I knew I had to invest in a few pair of flats. I would prefer to go for heel, wedge or sneaker shoe-but those are not the most reasonable for the workplace. Therefore, I had to go down the flat route. I found simple black and nude flats easy, but then I cam across these shoes on sale at DSW and immediately fell in love. I love how they are slides, but the pattern is so fun, bright, and colorful. These slide shoes are becoming so popular, I have seen them in so many stores. Because there are so many colors on shoe, I can pair it with so many things, from a pink and white striped dress, and solid blue dress, even a short set. The possibilities are endless.
How cute are these fun flats, they can go with so many outfits!
Sun glasses
Lastly, no summer look would be put together without a pair of sunnies. I love sunglasses, but when I wore glasses, I would always be limited in what I could wear over my glasses. Now that I have contacts, I can choose from so many different pairs of sunglasses to go with outfits or what I’m feeling. I typically don’t spend too much money on sunglasses since I like to switch them up so often. I do have a black aviator and big brown pair that I wear frequently. However, I got this pair from American Eagle on sale and I absolutely adore them. They have a unique shape and color that can really change any outfit from going drab to fab. A fun pair of sunglasses are always on my summer must have.
How fun are these glasses?!Who doesn’t love fun, summer accessories?!
That rounds up my favorite summer accessories. What are some pieces that you can’t live without, especially in the summer weather?!
Today, I have another fun summer outfit for you all to enjoy today. This outfit is perfect for a day OUT of the office, at the park, at a picnic, or just going for a walk. I love the color scheme I have planned for today. Let’s jump in with the details.
A new day, a new outfit
First, you may recognize this top. I got it from Francesca’s Boutique a few years back, but it is a staple in my summer collection. I have worn it to work and dressed it up with capris or dress pants, but I have also found myself dressing it down with a pair of shorts. The material is satin which really dresses up this basic short set. The back is my favorite part! I love the details in the tuxedo bows that line the back. It’s details like these that I adore about pieces from Francesca’s!
Savoring summer
Speaking of the shorts, how cute is this mint green color?! I love the contrast between the teal and black. I got these shorts from Old Navy. As you know by now, I am a fan of Old Navy’s clothes. Their shorts are a favorite of mine. I really appreciate the length of the shorts and how they fit. I am not a fan of short-shorts. This length is perfect for a blouse or t-shirt.
I chose these dressy sneakers for the outfit for today. I was planning on walking around a lot and I needed a reliable shoe. This style of shoe is in style right now. I got my pair from Target for under $20! But, I have seen other major retailers selling them for much more. I love the design and fabric and I like how it doesn’t look like a sneaker but rather a closed toe shoe. Plus, I love how well they match with the green and black.
Thoughts on the dressy sneaker?! I am wearing them constantly this summer!
To finish of the outfit, I knew I needed something for the sold top, I decided to go with a mint green bold necklace from Old Navy to tie the whole outfit together. If you are out and about, consider grabbing a large hat like mine to keep the sun out of your face. I got this big hat from DSW, but I have seen them in many other retailers.

That’s a peak into my closet. Next week, I am going away for a few days, but I will still be blogging. Follow me on Instagram to keep up with my latest adventure.
Hi All! After a busy week, I am looking forward to relaxing a bit. I am kicking off this weekend early with this fun summer number. Finally, a summer fun outfit. I’m so excited to share this cute, yet stylish romper with you today.
I’m not going to lie, I am a short girl (5’3”) so I don’t get the opportunity to wear long dresses, maxi skirts, or maxi dresses a whole lot, I make up for it in rompers. I will never pass up an opportunity for a fun one-piece outfit. I do wear them to dress up in addition to dressing down a bit. Last year, this has been my go-to romper for dressing up but, this summer I was on the look for a romper to dress down a bit.
An outfit perfect for any occasion
I got this romper from Old Navy. It came in a few solid colors and patterns. I chose to get this black and white patterned romper. It’s a short set that buttons in the front. I like how I can juts put on one piece of clothing if I am in a rush or want to change up my outfit. I have worn sandals, gladiator sandals and a pair of dressy sneakers.
A close up look at the romper
I decided to wear these monogrammed sandals from MarleyLilly with my outfit. I am really into monogramming-from scarves, shoes, clipboards, and clothes. These shoes make a simple statement and then can go with any outfit. I have worn these sandals with shorts, skirts, sundresses, and now rompers, they are a perfect accessory for the summer season

This has been one of my favorite new pieces of clothing that I have got this summer season! What new outfit did you buy this summer that you have been loving!?
Hello friends!! Happy belated Fourth of July! I was not a fan of having the Fourth of July in the middle of a week. I was working on Tuesday and now I am back to work today, so between work and the holiday it is a very busy week. The Fourth was a very fun holiday. I was able to see family, friends, eat good food, and relax. Even though, it has been a packed full week, I’m very happy with how it has turned out.
Since, it is back to work today, I’m sharing another one of my business casual outfits. I have worn this outfit this past week at work, and it was perfect for on the go. Not only is it stylish but it is comfortable and professional looking. Let’s get started.
Pretty in pink for work
Last week I raved about these pants and I am wearing them again with a much different outfit. These pink dress pants are from GAP, I love the color, but they also come in blue, black, and khaki. A color for every need you may have. I like how they look more like a dress pant and not a jean or tight like a pair of leggings.
I matched my pink pants with this pink, black, and white dress blouse. I got this blouse from Marshalls on sale!! My favorite store plus a sale-what more could you ask for!? I love how it goes with the pink pants. I have also worn this top with a pair of white capris to bring out the white more in the top.
Lastly, I paired a simple pair of black flats with this outfit to top off the outfit. I got mine from Old Navy and absolutely adore them! As much as I love my wedges or heels, I wear flats at work since I go to different places every day and I am constantly on the go-not the ideal place for heels.
Always good to have a sweater with you
In case you get cold easily like me, I always throw a cardigan or light sweater to wear. I brought a white short sweater to wear in case I got chilly. It’s always good to be prepared at work or on the job.
I hope you all had a wonderful and fun day with your families and friends celebrating the Fourth of July. Have a great weekend ahead. See you on Tuesday!!
Hello Friends! It’s Thursday, only one more day till the weekend! Woo Hoo!
Earlier in the summer, I mentioned how I would be sharing more professional and business casual outfits for the intern, college student, or new employee. Today, I have a new outfit that is cute, colorful, professional, and affordable. What more could you ask for?!
Ready for a new day at work
Let’s break down this outfit. I got these cute pants from GAP. This year I have really been struggling to find dress pants, so many pants on the market today are skinny, tight and almost look like leggings-not what I am looking for in a dress pant. I found these at GAP and not only did I love the cut, form but the color is too cute to pass up. The rose-colored pink breaks up the neutral colors that I wear to work daily. I have a few other print and neutral tops for work that I often wear with white or blue pants, so these pink pants will break up the colors. I’m positive you will be seeing these pants more this summer.
I got my blouse from Francesca’s Boutique. I love the sleeves. The blue and pink go so well together. I like how you can wear this top with a blazer or sweater or by itself. Because it is a solid top, I knew I had to dress it up with some jewelry.
I like the simplicity of this necklace but at the same time it adds dimension and character to this outfit. Silver is also a great color that can tie outfits together. Another reason why I chose to add it to my outfit. I decided to wear a simple pair of blue drop earrings to finish off my jewelry.
As much as I love heels, it’s not always smart to wear them at the workplace where you could be running errands and on your feet all day. These simple, black, pointed toe ballet flats from GAP are perfect for the office setting. They are professional but also comfortable.
No matter where you work, you can always spruce up your wardrobe while not breaking the bank. Just remember not to go overboard as you are still in the workplace and are representing the place you work.
