Where Did U Get That? Fashiontoast inspired




An over-sized sheer pattern top, ankle boots, chunky silver pieces and hidden tiny shorts.  This look is inspired by Karen from Where Did u Get That and Rumi Neely from FashionToast (my two favorite bloggers by the way)  Normally I would pair a belt with this top to show off the waistline and wear pants...but lately, I have been having too much fun getting away with wearing tops that are to short to be categorized as a dresses and little high-waisted shorts that are borderline hot pants.  Hey it's summer, I like wearing the bare minimum when necessary.

Preparation Week




BEAUTIFUL things have been falling into place despite my chaotic schedule.  I am preparing to enter a new job, work on an amazing project with the Autism Tree Foundation Project, finish my last year of college (for FREE) and perform my music...YES FINALLY!!! The next couple of months are going to be a challenge...but who doesn't like a challenge!?
To prepare for school and work, I HAD to do some shopping :)  Here is a sneak peek slash mini haul post...yes mini...there is A LOT more that is not photographed.  I will try and post an outfit of the day tomorrow morning. Out of the items that are photographed my favorite is...my tan leather skirt! Have a great evening everyone! Off to rehearsal!!!

The Sexy Skort




You would think it being summer, I should dress in bright colors or at least pastels....no, not this girl. I can never seem to give up my black and white. Place me in a section of clothes and I guarantee you will discover me browsing in the black, white maybe even gray section.
Now on with the outfit...when I hear of skorts, I think of tennis or elementary school.  So I played around in my wardrobe and created the sexy skort :) Black shorts underneath a sheer skirt...got to improvised.

Polka Dots Undone

I am positive that when winter arrives I will be secretly counting down the days until summer.  But for right now, I don't want, I NEED summer to pick up the pace and leave until I melt in my summer dresses and Levi shorts.

Boots in the summer






I catch myself wearing boots over strappy heels and pretty sandals...I must admit, I'm prepared for fall to arrive.  Cozy cardigans, layers and boots, my kind of pieces to play around in.

Hello August




No matter how many times people tell me, I still can't believe we are in August.  Summer jets by and it feels like every year the season gets shorter and shorter....be prepared and hold on tight...fall collections are right around the corner!!!
