what i've been wearing 091114

I'm long overdue for a "catch-up" of outfits I've worn and taken selfies in without posting. Sometimes [most times] a girl is in a rush out the door and doesn't have time to perfect the blog pictures!

First: The country concert outfit. I'm in love with this tank because it's cute alone or will look cute under things [like the flannel] once it gets colder. After going to LA, I learned having a flannel for cooler nights is a must, so I went with it.

-tank and shorts from Charlotte Russe

-flannel from Target

-genuine boots from my Texas friends

-red solo cup because, duh.

The dress and vest. When you have a tube top dress that is also a little short, you make it work with a vest. I pull the dress down in the back and vest covers it! Voila!

-Forever21 dress

-LC Lauren Conrad vest

-Charlotte Russe sandals

The I'm going out to own this town ensemble. I have all these crop tops and bodycon skirts that I rarely wear because I spend most of my out nights at casual bars. I finally got to dress up and it was fun to mix up the mint and fushia. Not going to lie, I felt pretty hott with the mesh and everything.

-crop top from H&M

-skirt from F21

-shoes from Charlotte Russe

-clutch from Target

The That's so 90s get-up. I was meeting The Madden Brothers and for whatever reason felt like going full on 90s. DARE shirt, flannel, Keds and all.

-old tank from F21

-flannel and shoes from Target

-shorts from the "mom section" of Kohls. Obviously for MILFs. Look how short they are!

And that's all for now. Time to go deal with a rough day.

wearing: tan maxi and denim

A couple weekends ago, I tweeted about it being an awesome weekend to pick up some clearance items with an extra percentage off. I wasn't kidding. I stocked up! There are going to be lots of new outfit posts. [Especially because my computer is sucking at editing video right now.]

First up- this tan maxi skirt. I've been wanting one for a while now, preferably with stripes, but when I found this for $9, it's hard to resist.

-skirt from Charlotte Russe

-plain white cami

-denim vest from LC Lauren Conrad at Kohl's

-headband from Forever21

-necklace from BlueLans

-brown/white sandals from Papaya

The best thing about maxi skirts is you feel like you're wearing pajamas, but you look nice. I wear them when I know I'm going to be in the office from morning til the wee morning. I almost just wore a t-shirt with this, but I was literally so comfortable, I felt weird about it... even though it looked great.

This baby is going to take me well into fall and could really work year-round. Tan is great like that.

wearing: matching stripes and leopard print

One of the things I'm always so envious of on What Ya Wearin Wednesday is people's ability to mix-up and match different patterns. I'm taking baby steps, but I'm giving it a whirl!

The easiest one to try first: stripes and leopard.

-earrings from BlueLans $1

-tank from F21 $5

-denim vest c/o Kohl's

-black jeans from Papaya $15

-leopard flats from Rue21 $12

-leopard bracelet-watch from Charlotte Russe $6

First of all, that bracelet and watch is my everything right now. Normally I hate things being on my wrist because of typing but also because I think it accentuates how huge they are. This is perfect. It's easy to snap off when I'm working, and looks good, right?! I need to get more ASAP. 

If you have a jean jacket, this outfit is great for fall weekends. It's casual, but shows a little effort I think. 

Maybe next time I'll go for two main pieces to be different patterns... maybe.

what i wore last week- a whole lot of denim on clearance

Most of last week was spent working on the beach, so I didn't really have to get dressed much beyond Wednesday, but here's what I had on the first half of the week!

This is quite possibly the easiest outfit I've put up, and it's obvious. 

-open back tee c/o Kohl's, but on sale for $8 right now

-shorts also from Kohl's last year, I think

-shoes from Target clearance $7

-DIY elastic strap bra

I finally got a denim vest that [mostly] fits and I went a little happy with it last week. Since it's similar in color to my mint jeans, I wanted something super contrasting underneath. Enter one of my favorite color combos of the season: Coral and mint/turquoise.

-denim vest c/o Kohl's

-tank from Forever21 $3

-mint jeans from Target $12

-necklace from Charlotte Russe $5

-bracelets from ipsy, Charlotte Russe, and a listener

-sandals from F21 $8

This is Wednesday's outfit, which you can see in full on the What Ya Wearin' Wednesday post!

Hopefully I can be a little bit of inspiration for ya at some point! If nothing else, inspiration to go out and clearance shop ASAP.

pinspired outfit: white jeans and a denim vest

I know day 3 was Friday, but because I don't even know what a laptop is on the weekends, I'm just now getting around to updating. I decided to get pinspired by this outfit I found while searching for ideas for my new denim moto jacket.

I don't have a necklace that is anything like that, but I kinda have the other pieces, so I did what I could. I mostly loved the color combo and pretty but *rough* look to it. 

I couldn't decide which options I liked best, so I actually wore the one on the left to work, and brought the necklace/heels to change into for going out that night. 

On the left:

-denim vest from F21 $22

-tank from Charlotte Russe so long ago

-white jeans from Papaya $16

-aztec flats from Target $8

-necklace from F21 clearance $5

TOTAL: ~ $55

On the right: 

-same vest/shirt/jeans

-pumps from Target $20

-necklace from BlueLans.com $3

TOTAL: ~ $65

I really wish my vest was a little bit smaller, and if I'm being honest, I still have the tag on in hopes of finding it in a better size soon. They'll never know, right?! I also tried on the boots I have that are similar to those in the original pin, but I just don't think it went with my necklaces as well as hers.

While they're not identical matches, the combo of the colors and denim are what I like best. I'll be doing it many more times.

love,
elizabethany
