Now that summer is official upon us, I’ve had my eyes peeled for the perfect swimsuit. Living in a state where pools are open year around, I’ve collected quite the collection but I’m always open for a new suit! Here are a couple of options that are both feminine and affordable for the everyday recessionista. AND these are versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched. Getting your bang for your buck, if you ask me. Happy Memorial day my lovelies!
Just Peachy
There’s nothing a pair of peach pants, stripes and a little bling won’t cure.
Happy Thursday my fabulously, but definitely not average, friends!

The Classics
There’s something about warmer weather that has me longing for crisp white tops, simple striped skirts and comfy peep toe Mary Jane’s. An easy, work appropriate look great for the office. I’ve apparently been on a whites kick lately, and I’m totally fine with it. Happy Hump day my lovelies!

It’s My Party and I’ll Wear What I Want To!
Welcome back my loves! If you’re new ‘round these parts, thanks for stopping by! Now sit down and stay awhile. I wore this ensemble to my Cinco de Mayo/birthday party this past weekend. Since everyone was forcibly coming together to celebrate my existence, I wanted to look mildly special without looking like I tried too hard. This linen dress is a recent purchase from H&M and when I saw it I knew it would be a wonderful addition to my summer whites collection. From there I worked in accents of red, for a festive flair, and added a statement necklace to finish the look.

Unintentional
It’s funny how the outfits you put no thought behind sometimes end up being your favorites. Exhibit A: this here ensemble. Because I had last week’s posts planned and accounted for I didn’t intend on getting gussied up enough to take outfit shots. I wore this dress, fully aware that no photos would be taken but something about the way it made me feel- easy, carefree, giddy-coaxed me to document it. And you know what, it photographed quite nicely and I believe the giddiness behind these shots. I felt awesome all day! Why I’ve only worn this dress once after finding it at Target for a mere $7 is beyond me but I’m happy we’re reacquainted. The hat was added as the fella and I were heading out the door for dinner. It was the cherry on top, if you ask me!

I think summer is the best time to don on a hat - protects the face from harsh UVB rays and adds another layer to an otherwise simple outfit. Easy way to make a statement, if you ask me. I’ve had my eyes on a collection of hats lately, this particular collection is calling my name. Perfect for strolls around downtown, a day full of errands or sunbathing at the beach.
70s Style
There’s something about this outfit that screams 70s fashion but I can’t put my finger on what in particular. I feel like the secretaries back then would wear a variation of this ensemble; a modern take on a 70s classic, if you will. Maybe it’s the incorporation of a prominent ‘neutral’ from that era: Bordeaux. Such ladylike appeal that will never go out of style. When I purchased this vintage blouse about a month back I knew I would get my CPW (cost per wear) out of it. It’s light weight, flowy and floral (in a subtle way)- all aspects I look for when looking for a Spring/Summer staple.

Yellow Leopard
I wore this ensemble on Thursday, fully aware that it was more relaxed than usually appropriate for work but I kind of didn’t care. After writing this post work has been rather difficult to face. I’m mentally drained y’all. However that doesn’t mean my style has to suffer;) After pinning this ensemble I became fixated with the thought of pairing yellow and leopard together. A simple concept but it blew my mind. While I might not have paired the leopard with the brightest of yellows I do love how my outfit turned out. It’s a fun take on an old favorite. Apparently leopard and yellow isn’t as mind blowing as I had originally thought.
PS- This past weekend I had a photo session with Brenda of Brenda Eden Photography for a secret project I’m working on. Here are some shots!

Fake It Till You Make It
One of the main messages I hope to spread through this blog is that you don’t need to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks. Not all of us won the lottery this past weekend and we are in fact in a recession, so budget conscious shopping is a must. For that reason I love stores like Forever21 and Target. They offer on-trend pieces at low, affordable prices! Although they mass produce everything they sell, their products are up for interpretation and personal flair. Take this outfit for instance. Not too many lablels but I love this pairing and feel so put together in it. What made me feel even better was the fact that I got this vintage tweed skirt while thrift shopping in Austin during TxSC(link). Yep, for a mere $8.99 the skirt was mine!
What stores/online shops do you like to shop at that offer their merchandise for the everyday recessionista?

Snake Charmer
Happy Wednesday my dear friends. Thanks for stopping by! Let me start off by stating that I bought these pants prior to declaring my shopping diet, so I haven’t fallen off the wagon just yet. These were purchased the same time these floral beauties came home with me.They just charmed their way into my heart and into my line of vision. But aren’t these python printed pants just phenomenal? I wasn’t lying when I said that I’d stocked up on party pants at an alarmingly rapid pace. Their just so much fun! And your eyes are not playing games on you, this is in fact the same blazer as yesterday. It’s just so comfy and perfect for the office chill. I also needed a little something to add a more professional edge on these here party pants;)
