It's Still Summer Here.

I want to start out  by saying I feel very "Saved by the Bell" in this outfit. And that is why I LOVE it. haha. As a matter of fact, that may be one of my favorite dresses now. :]
I loved the tiered fabric, the sweet little floral print, and the fact that the background of it is black. It's a fun little summer dress, but it can easily be paired with some tights for fall. I can't wait. 

It was fun to pair the chambray shirt, and keep things casual. Like I always do. haha. But tying it up like that keeps it fun. And 90s. What could be better?

I'm keeping this post short tonight. It's been an emotionally draining day. Well, week, even. Whew. So much on my mind, and so much to do! I think my procrastination will prevail. haha. 
Have a good night everybody!

No Need to Say Goodbye

Okay, a lot of you are already showing off some fall styles. But I live in Texas, people. It's still summer here. haha. So I will take advantage of that until we finally get some temps below 80. Who knows when that will even be.


The orange top is my mom's, so it's a bit too big. And that's why I like it so much. :) I've worn it with numerous outfits, so I thought it was finally time to get some photos. Also, I think I've definitely got my money's worth out of both this chambray skirt and the striped tank. Two awesome purchases.



And yes, I will one day figure out how to get good detail shots. Until then, try to squint your eyes just a little bit, and maybe it will look more in focus. :D


Orange top- Mom's ($free!)/Striped Tank- Norma Kamali from Walmart ($5!)/Skirt- Forever 21/Shoes- Candies from Kohl's ($3!)/All jewelry ONE DOLLAR each. :)

Tough Cookie.

I really have sooo much to talk about! haha. So enjoy that first teaser photo, because I'm gonna chat about things other than my clothes for a minute. :]
Last Wed night through Friday night I was in Oklahoma! If you've never read my first post, then I'll let you know.. I lived in Oklahoma for most of my life.. up until almost 2 years ago, when I moved here to Texas to stay with my mom and grandma for awhile. So anyway, all of my friends that I've grown up with pretty much live in Oklahoma. I had a couple of days off last week, and enough money to fill up my gas tank, so I headed north. I stayed with Amanda Emiley, my best friend, and her boyfriend. I got to see so many old friends! And it felt really good to be "home" again. You know? I have so many stories from my trip, but they probably wouldn't make sense to any of you. haha. I'll just say that I had an amazing time, and it was definitely needed. Relieved tons of stress! lol.

Okay, anyway.. I just had to get that all out, I've been so happy since my trip, and I can't wait to go back again!

So, this is my version of sweet and.. tough? haha. I guess. Mostly black with a light, sheer layer of soft pink. I honestly love it. I got the pink top in one of those $1 bag of clothes sales. Most awesome thing ever. It's vintage of some sort, but I'm not an expert. So who knows. I just know that it has pretty lace, pearl buttons, it's sheer, it's flowy, and I love it!
This was due to the fact that I hit the tripod after setting the self timer, and I didn't realize that it had turned the camera until I turned around to pose, so just to be silly I decided to jump in front of the camera real fast so that it wouldn't be a completely wasted picture. lol. I kinda like how it turned out. :]



Let me just say this.. the leaves may be turning brown and falling of the trees, but it is STILL hot as blazes here! I was seriously sweating during all this. The things I do. haha. Also, those shoes are completely ridiculous, and I nearly twisted my ankle quite a few times. I'm not a normal girl who is used to walking around in heels. I've said it before and I'll say it again. But it's not going to stop me from at least trying! :]

Also, that necklace and the bracelet were bought at a shop in Oklahoma that is literally called $1 Jewelry. Yes. Everything. One dollar. well, rings are 1.99, and they have purses that are 10-20. But yeah. It's pretty much mind blowing. Not gonna lie.
Pink top- Thrifted (about $.20!)/Striped tank- Norma Kamali from Walmart ($5!)/Jeans- Empyre from Zumiez (on sale but I don't remember how much. Like $10, I think!)/Shoes- Forever 21 ($13!)/Necklace and Bracelet- $1 Jewelry ($1 each!)
