I adore camo pants! They can be dressed up, worn casually, or (my favorite) used as a neutral. Today I decided to dress my cropped camos up a bit by pairing them with a canary yellow sleeveless blouse. I think the colorless stripes created by the ruffles of the blouse next to the rounded pattern of the pants is a fun contrast. Continue reading

Transitions
With temperatures only in the 80’s this week it’s a reminder that fall is right around the corner. During this time of year I love wearing transitional pieces like this indigo blue romper ($9.00). Sans sleeves and cotton fabric make the romper ideal for summer. And as the temperatures drop, adding a blazer or denim jacket and closed toe shoes turn this one piece into the perfect fall fashion.

Just Add Staples
* I apologize for so many seated photos. It was a really windy day and I was trying to limit the Marilyn Monroe moments as much as possible.
I purchased this nude flutter-sleeve blouse a few years ago and it has proven to be a true staple in my wardrobe. Today it is the perfect companion to this fun-seeking skater skirt. The skirt is not only on the lively side, it’s also on the shorter side. Continue reading
Leopard-Print and Lace
My love affair with pencil skirts continues! For months I searched for a lace pencil skirt. This cream one happened to be the only one left in the store. And it was just my size. Must’ve been meant to be. 😉 To create a simple silhouette I paired the skirt with a fitted crew Continue reading
All In The Family
Do you ever have days when you’re feeling kinda blue? Well, today I’m feeling all types of green. With triple digit temperatures and a drought, we’re not seeing our normal amount of green in Northern California. Which is what inspired me to wear my hunter green maxi skirt ($17.99) today. Instead of my usual contrasting colors, I decided to keep it all in the green family. A simple mint green tank top, Continue reading
Chambray, anyone?
I’ve always loved the look of a fitted chambray top. So I was super excited to find this one on sale last fall for $19.99. Pairing the industrial shirt with my obnoxiously girly skater skirt feels like the perfect combination of Rosie Riveter and Raven Wilkinson. For even more femininity, I’m wearing a silver and rhinestone necklace, bracelet, and earrings. Cream
Basically
For years, I have searched for a basic pair of white linen pants to combat the California heat. All to no avail… Until now! I scored these loose-fitting linen trousers for $12.75. And what better to go with them than another basic piece; a black cowl neck tank top. The stark contrast of black and white is so classic! To keep with the basic theme, I decided to go with
** Happy 4th of July!! **
The Fourth of July is right around the corner. And it’s going to be a hot one this year! To keep cool and still represent our traditional flag colors I’ll be wearing these light weight pajama style pants ($24.99). Their little printed flowers remind me of bursting fireworks which is perfect for Independence Day. The pants are cropped and hit my legs at a weird spot. Continue reading
Mellow Yellow?
There’s nothing mellow about this bright yellow shift dress ($19.99). It’s faux doily texture adds interesting detail to its classic feminine shape. For a more defined waistline (and a nudge to Jackie O), I tied on a black cotton belt. A
Tee Time
I’ve been trying to build my graphic T collection for some time now. I love to contrast a casual T-shirt with heels or a blazer. This Notorious Big graphic T ($7.99) is my newest addition. I thought the cotton portrait of the legendary hip hop artist coupled perfectly with my distressed jeans. I chose a simple watch, gold bracelet, and earrings to accent Biggie’s
