Gigi





Wearing:
Shirt - Target, Jeans - BDG at Urban Outfitters, Sneakers - Adidas, Belt - Target

I recently saw this picture of Gigi Hadid (below) and thought, 'Hey, I have that outfit.'  Or, atleast, the look for less.  I've always loved trying to recreate celebrity looks for less (remember the Taylor Swift shoot I did with my friend?).  It's a way for me to not feel as far away from the fashion world.  To start with the recreation, I went straight to my closet.  Though I'm not sure exactly where she bought her shirt, I rather positive that she didn't get it at Target.  A subtle change I did regarding my look was to button my shirt all the way up; as someone who's rather busty, I don't really care for low cut/unbuttoned shirts.  The jeans were the trickiest part to recreate in the sense that 1) I don't own leather pants, and 2) I would never want to wear them in this summer heat.  So instead I opted for my favorite pair of black, high waist jeans.  And, obviously, I have the exact same sneakers!  Needless to say, they were the easiest part of the look.  I finished the look with a nude lipstick that I picked up and a touch of bronzy eyeshadow (not that you can really see it in the pictures; I waited until too late in the day to take them - oops).
This will definitely not be the last time Gigi inspires my OOTD.

Black is the Warmest Color






Wearing:
Shirt - Forever 21, Dress - Target, Sneakers - Adidas, Sunglasses - Tahari

Summer can be hard when your favorite color is black.  This summer, I'm trying to introduce more colors into my wardrobe; so far I have not been very successful.  Black is just so easy and always chic.  This LBD is a favorite of mine because it's so easy to layer (I love it so much that I also have this dress in brown).  Why I chose to layer a long sleeve, roll-neck shirt with this dress in the middle of June is still a question to me, but I do like the way it looked.  What can I say - I'm a sucker for turtlenecks.  I also added a red lip because I felt that it's been far too long since I wore one.  
In other news, I started my first job last week, and I'll be starting an internship at a wedding boutique next week.  My summer will definitely be busier than past ones, but I'm excited for what's to come!

Ruffles



 

Wearing:
Blouse - H&M, Trousers - Kohls, Shoes - DSW, Purse - Clarks

Is anyone else obsessed with the current Victoriana trend?  With the high necks and ruffles, it's seen all across social media, and I am 100% on board with it.  On my recent trip to California I stopped by H&M (a rarity where I live) and picked up two different shirts with ruffles.  I love them so much, I'm honestly considering ordering another one.  What I love about this particular shirt, though, is that it looks like a basic button up from the front, but from the back it's a fun surprise of ruffles.  This shirt is definitely oversized, so I might recommend getting a size smaller than you normally do because I think that you can still get the oversized look with a size down.

Wine Country






Wearing:
Dress - Warehouse, Jacket - Mudd, Shoes - Boohoo, Clutch - Zara

Sorry for the radio silence!  I'm so mad at myself; I only posted twice in May.  However, May was an incredibly busy for me.  I finished my first year at university, I've been applying to summer jobs, and my cousin just got married!  Over the past week, I've been in Napa, California for my cousin's wedding.  I was so excited for this wedding, as its been on the calendar for over a year.  I purchased this dress I'm wearing when I was in London in December, and since then it's been hanging in my closet waiting.  The dress is black velvet, and it may have been a bit hot for the occasion, but I loved it so much.  As I just mentioned, it was very hot at the wedding; the venue was outside at a winery in Napa and easily 90 degrees.  Should I have taken off my jacket?  Yes.  Did I take off my jacket?  No.  I just like the draped look of it too much.  
I had a great time in California, but because of the craziness of the wedding, these were the only blog photos I had time to take.  But if you're interested, I have a few photos on my Instagram from the week.
Now that I'm back home, I'm hoping to have a more regular blogging schedule.  Talk soon.
