Thug Life Shirts

Here's to the period in our lives where we live out of suitcases for months....hence me not being able to find clothes and put outfits together and basically living in workout clothes. But it's okay because I actually love living in hotels. Cheers to our LAST full week in Texas. Oh my gosh. Lyle asked me the other day if I felt like the Summer flew by and it most definitely did not. But I have loved this time together exploring a new city and I am so happy to support him in any way that I can. My days lately have been spent working out, trying to repack so we have less boxes (remind me next Summer to pack 1/3 of what I did) and planning our upcoming fun adventures. Lyle is gonna hit his goal and we will be in Utah on Sunday for a couple days to meet with counselors, do anniversary pictures, take tons of suitcases back and grab warmer threads for some East Coast and Europe weather. Then pack to Texas for a couple more days of selling & we are off! On a side note, I CAN NOT BELIEVE OUR ONE YEAR IS NEXT WEEK. Be prepared for a picture overload.

Oh and on a side note I LOVE this skirt. I first saw it but it sold out super fast and when it came back I snagged it because at Brickyard Buffalo the price is always right. P.S. I'm not even endorsed to say that, I seriously just love their stuff so much. I just ordered the most perfect fur vest I have been wanting for months and months. But anyway this skirt isn't lined so I had to wear a slit underneath but thats no problem. When I first saw it, it was styled as a coverup over a swimsuit and I initially planned on wearing it as one but it can be worn so many ways. For Summer it can be paired with floral and bright colored tops and then transitioned into Fall with blazers, cardigans and leather jackets. I bought a small but its a little more snug than my usual smalls just FYI. Oh and I had planned on wearing the cutest red pumps I scored for $8 at Platos Closet but well I bit by an ant or something and my foot is 3 times its normal size so I had to settle for flats I can barely fit in but hey, things happen. Anyway this wifey tee is cheaper than the ones all the fashion bloggers have because well I don't like to pay an arm and a leg for a tee but I basically live in this tee. I got it over a year ago and I wear it more than any tee I own. I love that I can wear it for date night and glam it up with some necklace and red lipstick but I can also wear it to sleep (because I do that too haha). Whatever works. I got it in a small and its not skin tight. The way I tied it below gives it a different look but I usually just wear it without the knot and its way comfy. Oh and this blazer? $10. I already blogged about it once but I just love Utah boutiques. I posted a great alternative for only $39. A blazer can dress up any outfit. Anyway thanks for stopping by, it really means a lot. If there are certain things you want to see styled or certain items you are looking for, feel free to let me know.

Read the Reviews

Let me just say that you should not be allowed to take fashion pics in Houston. Holy humidity. It normally doesn't bother me but changing in the car and having clothes stick to ya is not fun. 
It's all in the details...
Dress: Lulus
Shoes: heels.com
Earrings: Charlottes Russe ($5!! & i always get compliments)
Denim Vest: Abercrombie & Fitch similar here & its ON SALE! 
Necklace: Ebay similar here

I'm gonna rant about Lulus for a minute okay? Good. Every single dress I order is from there lately. I LOVE everything. Let me tell you something though, read the reviews, not just there but everywhere. I have learned the hard way how accurate this is. The dress I'm posting next was amazing and so is this one. They fit perfect and feel so good. The material and length are just perfect. However I ordered another dress where everyone complained about how easily it wrinkles and the material and they were right. I love this dress and the pop of colors in the accessories paired with it. I have been building my shoe collection and these babies are my new love. They aren't even uncomfortable in the slightest but I could wear heels all day every day so maybe I'm not a good judge of that...although I have had a few uncomfy ones. I like this dress because you can dress it up or down and I've already worn it tons. The denim jacket dresses it down but wearing it with a blazer or alone can really dress it up. Seriously though, my new favorite website. Read the reviews everywhere though, I promise it helps. Also heels.com? Best selection of shoes. I think if you sign up for emails you get a discount too...I was on the website and they said if you order in the next hour you get like 20% which was saweet. Never order things without discounts- i saved over $40! Oh, and when you order from Lulus, they give you a 15% off coupon on your next order and if you're subscribed to their emails they have happy hour sales!

All about the booties

I love casual comfy outfits and this one tops my new favorite list. Everyone always acts surprised that I wear "heels"all the time but these are amazing. I got them real cheap in New York at a place called Strawberry over Winter break but I found them at Charlottes Russe too. They have them in other colors too. They look like a pair of Aldo knockoffs I initially wanted! I love them. The necklace and boat shirt in this color may still be at your local J Crew Factory but they aren't online at the moment. The necklace is to die for! I have had my eye on it for a while. It goes with absolutely everything and I get so many compliments. I love it.  The vest was a perfect touch to this simple yet comfy shirt and I wear it with a lot of things. I thought it dressed it up just a bit. I loved the little bit of sunshine I got when I wore this outfit and I cant wait for Spring and Summer!
