Watercolor Florals

Chambray Shirt: Delia's / Purple Tank Top: Old Navy's / Jeans: Loehmann's / Boots: American Rag (Macy's)

It finally rained! I feel like it hasn't rained in so long. I could barely remember what a rainy day was like...

Today, I ended up wearing a new tank top that my mom had bought for me a long time ago. It's hard to tell in the picture but the tank actually is quite loose and drapes very nicely. The floral pattern on it reminds me of watercolors. I know the photo makes it look rather harsh, but trust me, it's like I'm wearing a watercolor painting.

The material's pretty interesting too. It feels kind of like a raincoat? (Haha, perfect for the weather!) Underneath, I just wore a simply purple boyfriend tank to stay covered up. And since it was a tank and for some reason, the weather is still rather chilly, I put on my chambray button-up over it for a very casual look.

Honestly, my chambray shirt might be my favorite piece in my entire closet. It always makes any outfit look more fashionable. It's super comfy AND looks laid-back. It never looks like I'm trying too hard. It has that effortless California look (Think Blake Lively). 

The other day, I saw an interesting make up tutorial that I wanted to try out. It basically involves rose gold eyeshadow all over the lids and turquoise eye liner on the bottom lash line and waterline.

My take on it:

Yeah I know, I take awkward pictures.

 Yup, so that's it for today! Here's a random picture my brother (the photographer) took:

Chic Black

Blazer: American Rag (Macy's) / Jeggings: Loehmann's / Mint Blouse: H&M / Shoes: Material Girl (Macy's) / Necklace: Forever21

Today's outfit is all about having a black base and then adding pops of color and texture. I started off with my favorite black jeggings and my lace blazer which has a very soft, unstructured feel. For the pop of color, I went with my mint sleeveless blouse and tucked in into my jeggings. For the pop of texture, I wore my glittery silver sequined shoes with spikes.

To match the silver on my shoes, I added some silver bracelets and a silver triangle (spikes?) necklace.

Easing into Spring

As the temperature slowly inches its way up, my wardrobe starts to shift. It's time to lose the bulky layers and grab those pretty spring colors!


Outfit #1

Blouse: Charlotte Russe, Cardigan: Forever21, Floral Jeans: American Eagle, Boots: American Rag, Headband: Forever21

Here's an outfit I wore this week to school. Since it's warmer, I layered a light, drapy cardigan with a sleeveless, black blouse. Although you can't tell in the picture, the blouse has a sequined collar to break up the monotony of black fabric. Overall, I tried to keep the focus of my outfit at my floral jeans, which are perfect for spring. I finished the outfit with my favorite pair of lace-up combat boots (so comfy!) and a floral headband for a boho look. Thanks to the NJ HSPAs (a test that juniors have to take in order to graduate), the other grades had three delayed openings which meant that I had time to curl my hair!

Outfit #2

I wore this outfit for a fun trip to NYC with my friends. I recently bought this striped 3/4 sleeve shirt from Forever21 last week. I've been looking for this basic closet staple for the longest time, but I just haven't been able to find the perfect one. I paired the striped shirt with a classic black blazer. I love the slightly shiny material where the sleeves are folded up. It makes the blazer less business and more glam. To spice up the simple outfit, I added a bright pop of color as a tribute to spring. The bright pink necklace is one of my favorite statement pieces. I kept the rest of the outfit simple with jeans and black boots.

Love the pretty detailing, and unexpected pop of color!

That's all for now! Hope all of you are enjoying the start of spring as much as I am!
