T SHIRT TIME
This graphic tee has always spoken to me on a personal level. Of course I believe in personal accountability, but sometimes, you can do everything right, and it's still not enough. If the tee itself doesn't sell you on the outfit, the shorts have a drawstring, so they're basically sweatpants. The shorts can be dressed up or dressed down and were a steal for just $10. Unlike some white shorts, they have a great interior build, making them solid with no show-through. I'm not sure when people ...
JUMPSUIT FEVER
Now that summer is coming to an end, I'm starting to consider what parts of my wardrobe will transition into fall. After having a brief love affair with rompers this summer, I was curious how the jumpsuit would fare for me. I used to really dislike the look of rompers and jumpsuits on me, but recently, it's been like a fashion light bulb went off and suddenly I can't get enough. I've become convinced that their biggest appeal to me is their pantslessness. I am a huge lover of the no-pants ...
OFF THE SHOULDER, OFF THE GRID
Maybe it's the casual elegance or the ease of knowing having my sleeves falling off my shoulder is now somehow acceptable, but the off the shoulder trend is capturing my heart this season. Over the weekend, I got to rock this fun and flirty dress. The gorgeous light blue and lightweight layers made it a perfect fit for the scenery and my current mood. Maybe the off the shoulder style was speaking to me, but sometimes a girl just wants to brush off her shoulders and go off the grid. I've had ...
FOB TO FAB
Waking up on my adoption anniversary is usually a little more fun than other days. I get to celebrate a day that has made a huge impact in my life, and today I did so with some light reflection, and a walk to Starbucks. One time, my parents showed me a (VHS) video of our whole family going to pick me up from the airport, on the night that I was adopted. It was basically a Lion King Pride Rock moment in human form. Since then, I've been given the luxury of living a blessed life in the USA and ...
SHOCK AND AWW
Last weekend, I made the impromptu trek back home to attend a somewhat spontaneous wedding in my home state. It took place in small-town Iowa, embodying most of what I think people envision when I tell them where I'm from. Friendly people, clean air, mom and pop shops, a wide array of farms, lots of white people, the basics, you know... :) When I arrived, I was surprised to find out I was dressed pretty similarly to the wedding party. Leave it to me, the girl who thought they were called ...
