Zara Pleated Trousers

Holy hot summer days. I was off sick from work for two days, and I think it's safe to say it was from working in my unventilated office that was 28 degrees with my computer right below a window. Needless to say, I am happy we are having a rainy day today! These are some more pictures from the little photo sess I did with my office mate Catherine. I just love the greenery in these pictures that makes me wish I lived in California and had weather like this year round. Hope you're all having a great week xo

What I'm wearing:

Pants: Zara // Blouse: Forever 21 // Sandals: Aldo // Bracelet: Aldo // Earrings: Savi Jewerly Sunlasses: Ray Ban

Western Wear

I bought these leather cowboy boots way back in the day when I worked at Aldo and they became a little fad that I just had to have, but I haven't had much of an excuse to wear them lately. However, Stampede season complete with legit cow boys and girls is just around the corner, so what better way to fit right into my rodeo town than to throw on my old boots and this jean dress from Asos! I also love any excuse to rock red lips and I feel like an old western outfit is only complete with just that. 

This week is so busy at work, but I have one of my girl friends from back East coming to see me on Friday, so I am anxiously awaiting to take a vacation day on Friday to pick her up from the airport for shopping, supper, drinks, and a sleepover at my new house which I am so excited for her to see as well! 2 sleeps!!! Hope you're all having a good week xo

Dress: Asos // Boots: Aldo (old) // Purse: Michael Kors // Lipstick: Elf Matte Red Lip Pencil

Stripes & Cognac

I wore this outfit to a dinner party this summer and felt comfortable all night in it. You can throw on a black blazer easily over top to take it from day to night. I really love cognac for accent accessories. I feel like its a brown that goes with anything from other browns, to black, and almost every color in between. This stripe top was so perfect for the dinner party because it hugs the waist where you want to look smaller and then flows out.. meaning I could still eat a lot and not worry about a bulge showing haha!

DIY Chanel Tees: Two Ways To Wear

I took these pictures when I was at home visiting my mom & little sister. I made my sister Elly a few DIY tees and wanted to show you guys two different ways to wear them. My outfit is a little more dressed up with galaxy leggings & wedges where Elly's is a little more casual with boots, a scarf, and leather leggings. I love these pictures of Elly and make me miss home. Doesn't she have the best curly hair?? I would do anything for these curls. Sorry some of the pictures are different sizes/better quality. This is my first post ever uploading outfit pictures from my camera, so I'm still trying to get the hang of it! xo
