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.

Casual Saturday



Trying to adjust to the summer's slightly uncomfortable heat has been a difficult since I have been spoiled with the air conditioning at work....However, I was ecstatic to wear my Levi's peek-a-boo pockets shorts paired with a yellow H&M belt and a make-up free face :) These shots were taken in the morning hence why I was wearing my new sweater that I am so in love with....speaking of being in love....MY SHOES!!!! I received all my shoes and I am pleased with my new leather booties and sneakers :) I'm thinking about posting up another post....possibly on Sunday, so be back soon!

Spring Haul









You know that saying, "Work hard, play harder"....well I sure have been playing harder...in the stores :P Call me an addict, I just love my clothes and deserved a little retail therapy. The reason for this shopping celebration....I haven't even graduated yet and I just landed a great job that will become my career in the field that I am pursuing in!!!! So, I have to dress the role and on top of that, summer is around the corner...great excuse to go shopping right!?!?!  The one downer that I am terribly experiencing is not having enough space for all my new purchases which means....SPRING CLEANING!!!! It is very hard to part with amazing pieces because each piece of clothing has a memory to it whether we like it or not.  I told myself that if I am going to go on a shopping spree, that means I need to go on a cleaning spree and since I am moving back to good ole San Jose, I plan on selling some clothes online at the top of my blog.  If I am going to give my clothes away, I want to give it to someone who will actually take care of it and enjoy it.  Prices will be affordable so stay tuned for the opening of RIO's CLOSET hopefully in a couple of weeks :)  Have a beautiful sunny day!!!

Pants and Jeans For Ladies With Long Legs

 Pants: Ann Taylor Top: H&M
 
 Light Blue Jeans: WeSC
 Cargo Pants: Gap
Black Jeans: Gap

Good afternoon lovely readers! 
I'm so excited that I get to take sometime out of my chaotic schedule to post another blog! As you can tell, pants are the focal point.  Being 5'9" and having super long legs, it is EXTREMELY difficult to find jeans/pants etc. that fit my shape and that are long enough for my legs. Whenever I do find a pair that fit me (rare), I buy them right then and there, no questions asked.  So to make it easier for my long legged ladies out there, I listed a few great brands that I love and that hopefully work for you! Feel free to share other brands that have variety and provide long inseams to the beautiful tall women!

For all the above (style, fit, length, color) go with 1. BDG Urban Outfitters - My favorite brand for AMAZING jeans!!! I love the denim, the colors, the fit the LENGTH and the variety they have to offer. 

For classic denim go with 2. Gap  - Both their pants and jeans have an awesome fit and length.

For stretchy denim go with 3. Levi's -  Great fit for my curvy girls with height (I'm wearing my pair right now, super comfortable) They also came out with the curve i.d....I still have yet to try on a pair, but when I do, I will definitely do a review and see what they have to offer.

For colors and length go with 4. WeSC - This is my first time purchasing this brand and when I tried on a pair I fell in love.  The denim is great quality and they had some super cute colors.  I received so many compliments on my light baby blue jeans.

I came back home for Christmas break with one big suitcase and a duffle bag....now I'm leaving with two big suitcases and two duffle bags and my kitty cat Monster is not happy about my departure. During my two and a half week break, it was my mission to get a nice book bag and my mission was completed today :D I am in LOVE with my new Neely Mack Leather Book bag!!! The leather is so soft, you can literally see my finger print at the bottom of the bag. Another item I wasn't planning on getting were the faux leather pants which I la la loveeee!!!

Rain Rain don't go away







It's time for fuzzy blankets, oversized sweaters, warm scarves, hot tea, cuddling time and the rain! I'm enjoying this beautiful rainy weather...but I'm not to thrilled to go running in it in a couple of hours :/ But anyways, here is a quick outfit I switched into before class when it started to rain. Don't mind the rain spots on my sweater in the second to last photo :P  In photo two, I attempted to photograph the raindrops on my window...I don't know if you see it...but it's there :)

Make-up: Just mascara on the top lashes (Loreal Bare Naturale)

Outfit: Dark brown leather bomber jacket -- grey v-neck sweater (Forever21) -- Levi jeans -- Mustard Infinity Scarf -- Purse (Nordstroms) Carmel cowboy style boots.

Have a lovely evening!
