Paint Me Pretty

IMG_2431 IMG_2438 IMG_2440 IMG_2450 IMG_2452IMG_2447My top reminds me of an artist taking it’s canvas by storm. It reminds me of a love affair between the paintbrush and the neon paint. I love the chaos in this blouse. It’s so beautiful. I’ve been trying harder to buy more color because neutrals never seem to let me down. I think it’s safe to say that I bought a top that’s more than just colorful. I definitely needed it in my closet. It will totally outshine most of the things that I own. Being colorful isn’t such a bad thing people. I would like to let you guys in on who has been my fashion inspiration lately. I recently caved in and bought Netflix. Big mistake. BIG MISTAKE. I haven’t left my bed in days because all I’ve been watching is “The Carrie Diaries.” It’s the prequel to “Sex and The City” and oh my gosh… I’m in love. I thought older Carrie Bradshaw was my idol but I think younger Carrie Bradshaw has my heart. Her style is just impeccable. It’s bright, innocent, put together, and totally 80’s chic. I never thought I would like 80’s fashion until I started watching this show. It’s not just the typical 80’s kind of fashion…IT’S SO MUCH MORE. I truly truly truly cannot get over it. The costume designer for the show needs to become my best friend, like pronto. I wish I was the younger Carrie Bradshaw. She works for a fashion magazine for crying out loud. I strive to be her. If you haven’t watched it, I suggest you should. Put on your favorite pair of hoop earrings, a tutu skirt, leg warmers and get started. You will be addicted in no time. Anyways, young Carrie Bradshaw kind of inspired this bright neon outfit. I hope I didn’t let her down.

Overalls Over All, Baby

IMG_1559 IMG_1560 IMG_1584 IMG_1585 IMG_1589 IMG_1592 IMG_1608-2Overalls have always been my favorite item of clothing but good ones can be hard to find. Figuring out a good outfit can be harder. I think the easiest way to rock some overalls this fall is a sweater (or cropped sweater like mine) and combat boots. Don’t forget to accessorize. To some of you, overalls might be a bold choice, but I swear they are so fun. If you’re the type that is always worried about how other people see you, thats not the way to live sweetheart. It’s all about how YOU see you and how YOU feel. You cannot hold yourself back from wearing an amazing outfit just because you think others will judge you.  I made that decision a long time ago and I’ve never looked back. When you think about it, life is too short to wear a t-shirt and jeans. Have some fun with your outfits. People will appreciate that you let your personality shine through. Trust me.

I just realized I’m wearing a nude lip. Oh my gosh. That never happens. You guys know I’m stuck on the wine colored lipstick at the moment. It’s weird seeing me in a normal lip color. BEFORE YOU GO, check out a more girly take on this cropped sweater that I styled  –> here.

Chartreuse & Tulle

IMG_1008 IMG_1012 IMG_1015 IMG_1027 IMG_1037 IMG_1043-2Hey guess what? You know that neon vomite green color, otherwise known as chartreuse? Well, it’s my favorite color of all time. I’ve said this before but unique colors are my favorite. I get all sorts of happy when I see this color. Weird? Ya…a little. I know I wear this skirt all the time but thats because it goes with ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. There’s not one thing that can look bad when its paired with this tulle skirt. I wish I could tell you all wear to buy one but I got this years ago at a lovely boutique in Durango, CO. I’ve never looked back. It’s one of those pieces that I will never ever get rid of, even if you paid me. It’s too stunning and I’ve made way too many memories in it. When I’m in any sort of doubt, I run to this little guy. He has my back that’s for sure. Also, I’ve been very impressed with the H&M Fall Collection this year. I’ve bought more from them this year than ever before. It’s still not my absolute favorite place to shop but they do have great pieces that aren’t too expensive if you’re on a budget like me. This top, for example, is under $50 AND I get loads of compliments when I wear it. Not too mention it’s real cozy. That’s an A+ in my book.
