Quintessential Me

I absolutely love this outfit because its so me. Both the skirt and the lace tank are staple pieces, but I've never worn them together. The little details like the brooch-turned-necklace, leather belt, and metallic sandals are my go-to accessories. This outfit was also super lightweight, which was great for the sticky weather today. I think a pretty outfit can speak for itself, so I'll leave it at that. Have a great rest of the week everybody!

Senior Portrait

 I'd like to think that, for most things in my life, I make things happen. This outfit just kind of happened to me. I knew I wanted to wear a solid colored, simple top for my senior portrait (hope it turned out!). I had about 1.5 seconds to chose bottoms so I grabbed this lace skirt. Thankfully it matched and I ended up really liking this outfit. It's simple chic with silver details. Sadly this is probably the last season for my silver sandals. I'll definitely need a replacement- they're a summer staple!

Settled Down

My wardrobe used to feel like a random collection of boring basics and cute individual pieces that usually only matched one other thing. Now that I've had time to explore what I like and what works for me, putting together outfits is easier and more interesting. I don't like to put a label on my style, but I definitely gravitate towards feminine details, bold colors, oversized necklaces, and classic silhouettes. Oh and shoes! I can never resist a pair of funky flats or ladylike heels.

This outfit embodies a few of my favorite looks. It's the first time I've styled this silver and turquoise necklace from Loft. It caught my eye immediately and, as luck would have it, it was on deep discount. Score! I'm also starting to love the navy/turquoise combo, maybe even more than my beloved coral and turquoise looks. How about you? What looks do you go back to time and time again?
