Blissed Out

Hello friends! School just started and I've been really busy lately trying to work out my schedule between school, two jobs, and other things that life throws at me. With that said, this new year has been starting off fantastically, and for the first time in a long time I feel genuinely happy :)  

But enough about me, you're here for the outfits. Yesterday was my first training day at my yoga studio to be a desk yogi! Having this amazing opportunity to be able to work for my yoga classes (which are very expensive) I was feeling super happy and grateful! My mood tends to come out in my outfits, and yesterday was no exception. I chose one of my favorites, a floral daisy print dress that is both comfy for a long day and versatile. Since I was going to be out of the house all day, I added a shawl for the cooler weather in the morning and evening. Keeping it simple with the shoes (unusual for me) I slipped on my one pair of boho sandals. 

Big thanks to my roommate for waking up to take these! 

Outfit Details: 

Dress - Thrifted 

Shawl - Zara 

Shoes - Urban Outfitters 

Since this outfit was very simple, I wanted to add some little touches to make it feel more unique. By adding some jewelry and a fun hair-do, I think I accomplished my goal! 

Rings - Forever 21

Hoops - Urban Outfitters 

Hair - I think this might be hard to see, but I covered my ponytail holder with a chunk of braided hair so the ponytail holder was hidden. It was really easy and I got a lot of compliments :) 

Sorry for the low quality of this post - unfortunately I left my camera at home and won't have it back for a few days! But thank you so much for checking my post out, it makes me really happy anytime I see someone viewed my page. You're all wonderful and I hope the new year treats you well! 

Snow bunny? I think snow fox is more appropriate

Feeling so incredibly blessed to be spending the week in one of my favorite places in the United States, Telluride Colorado. Looking like some sort of mountain calendar backdrop, this tiny mountain town is full of great skiing, great food, great people, AND great shopping. After a very tumultuous year, it's been so lovely to relax in a place so different from home. 

Being from Southern California and now living in a beach town, winter fashion is not my usual M.O. But being up for a styling challenge, I brought all of my possible layer able winter clothes and biggest fluffiest coats! (Packing lightly… also not my M.O…) 

This day was particularly cold so I decided to utilize layers and different textures of clothing to provide some extra warmth. 

• Faux Fur Blazer Coat - Urban Outfitters 
• Mock Neck Tank Top (Worn under long sleeve) - Urban Outfitters 
• Asymmetrical Long Sleeve Tee - Foreign Exchange 
• Floral Skinny Jeans - H&M 

 For this outfit I decided to utilize one of my favorite basic pieces, the mock neck tank top. Being a turtle neck without feeling like it's choking me to death, my go to tank provided me both with a base layer, some neck warmth, and the polished look of a black turtle neck silloutte. 

Over that I snatched a heather grey asymmetrical long sleeve with a slight v-neck from my little sister, showing off the mock neck and pulling the grey touches in the floral print of my pants out. The pants- a very cute pair of floral skinnys from H&M, caught my eye at the day after Christmas Sale. I'm usually very picky about pants but I can never resist a floral print or a one digit price tag. ($7!!!!!) Fair warning though, H&M pants run EXTREMELY small! Like… children's sizing small. 

Finally to top off the look and keep me extra cozy, I threw on my new Silence and Noise Faux Fur coat that I got at a sale at work. I really like this coat because it isn't cut like the traditional fur coat, but puts off more of a structured blazer vibe. Being quilted on the inside, it (mostly) did the trick for keeping me warm and toasty!

New Year New Project

So as I stated in my previous intro post, I'm very new to this so bear with me. Although this is new and scary for a little shy soul like myself, I am so excited to start this documentation of different pieces I put together to express myself. 

Anyways, back to the clothes. A few weeks ago, my very talented friend Desiree and I took a walk near my house to snap a few shots of this outfit I put together for a 5 hour shift I had later at work and hanging out with some friends that night. I work at Urban Outfitters, so I can wear basically whatever I want to work. Lucky me! 

• Mock Neck Tank (Urban Outfitters) 
• Peter Pan Collar Button Up (American Apparel) 
• Sunflower Skirt (Thrifted) 
• Army Jacket (Gap Kids) 

It was a bit chilly that day (as chilly as it gets in Southern California) so I threw on an army jacket on top of my ensemble. The great thing about army jackets is that they work with nearly everything and the neutral color meshes well with most other hues. I love pairing a more utilitarian piece with other girly items to toughen up the look a bit. If I don't go for my military jacket, you can almost always find me in a chunky shoe or boot.(Doc Martens are my personal favorite) I love having really tough shoes on with my more feminine peices to remind people not to mess with me. ;) 

Being a big fan of accessories, and sometimes a victim of overaccecorization, I truly believe that little touches can make an outfit that much more special! For this casual outfit, I added thigh high socks for a bit of warmth and coverage, black and silver rings, a cute beret I picked up at Forever 21 (I'm a francophile, sue me) And my ever trusty vintage Dooney and Bourke Satchel and Ray Ban Wayfarers! Always leaning toward a 90's vibe, I finished the look with my favorite Unif Don't Worry Be Happy Boots which always put a smile on my face. 

Thank you for checking my page out and I hope you'll be back for more! This new year is holding my favorite thing, big possibilities, and I wish the best for all of you.
