Suede and Studs

Wearing: Skirt Maje | Tee Vince, Similar | Shoes Ted Baker, Similar

I'm usually not much of a mini-skirt kinda girl, however, every once in a while I fall in love with one I need to have. And as I previously shared, (here) I have been obsessed with skirts lately as well as anything and everything suede. So this skirt fit the bill, and the studded belt detail sealed the deal. Perfect dressed up, or down as seen here with a basic tee. 

All-In-One

Wearing: Romper Joie, Similar, Similar

In theory a romper is a super easy to wear, all-in-one, perfect outfit option. In practice, however, I find it isn't quite as easy to wear a romper as I'd like it. Luckily I found this one, which fits perfectly, is super cute, and will definitely be worn to death this summer.

I'm typically not much of a skirt (or dress) person, in fact, I would be the happiest person if all I wore was jeans. But, the resurgence of the 70's has brought an influx of a-line mini skirts and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted. I may even have a few skirts in my various online shopping carts. I'm especially into anything made of suede or with buttons up the front, and the denim patchwork skirt above ain't so bad either..

Music Monday | Uma Thurman

I love this song, and since hearing it on the Billboard Music Awards, and a few times on the radio this weekend, it has been stuck in my head. And now, it can be stuck in your head too.. But the song is awesome so I don't think you'll mind!

Neckerchief

I wasn't really sure the neckerchief was a trend that I would ever take on, or that I even owned a scarf that could pull off the look. But, when I spotted this geometric printed square scarf I knew I had to give it a try. I love how this particular scarf has a combination of patterns on it so I can even fold it different ways and get a slightly different look. And I really do love the look, it's much easier to wear than I thought it would be. However, I will say that an 80 degree weather day probably wasn't the best day to test out wearing a scarf..

Striped Tunic

Wearing: Jeans Frame Denim | Tunic Theory | Wedges Ted Baker, Similar

When I saw this top it was love at first sight. I am absolutely in love with the 70's color palette, the stripes, the side slits, everything. It's perfect over any pair of jeans and throw a slip under it and you can wear it as a dress too. (I love pieces that perform double duty.) To add some height to an outfit with a lot of length I threw on some chunky wedges, which I felt worked perfectly with the outfit. 

Catch You On The Flip Side

Wearing: Jeans The Castings (Aritzia) | Tee Aritzia | Shoes Chanel

What's better than a white tee with a little humor? I'd argue nothing is better. It's not only super easy to wear (you can throw it on with basically anything) but it also makes you smile, and hopefully makes someone else smile too. I probably find this shirt funnier than anyone else does, but oh well, I can't wait to wear it all through the summer anyway. 

Music Monday | Hold Back The River

I first heard of James Bay when I saw him as the musical guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers. I had no idea who he was then, but since I have become quite obsessed with this song above.

Something New

Wearing: Dress Aritzia | Shoes Chanel

The apocalypse must be approaching because now I've blogged two dresses within the span of a week. As someone who rarely even considers an outfit that doesn't include a pair of jeans, dresses are seldom seen in my wardrobe. But I can't deny the ease of slipping on one piece and knowing your outfit is complete. And the tassel tie detailing on this dress made it hard to resist. Plus, it can also be worn off the shoulders, as seen here. So, who knows, maybe this could be the start of an increased number of dresses in my closet, maybe.

Fringe Kimono

Wearing: Jeans Joe's Jeans | Tank Aritzia | Kimono Aritzia, Similar | Shoes Chanel

The whole idea of "festival season" never really phased me, but this year I am obsessed. I think it's a combination of festival style and the resurgence of the 70's that makes me want to dress in suede, camel, fringe, and anything with a little boho flair. If you had suggested wearing a kimono to me a year ago I probably would've laughed, however, I was definitely missing out because I am in love with this one. It's so easy to wear and can be thrown on top of anything. It's the perfect piece to take with me from spring into summer. 

The Dress

Wearing: Dress A.L.C. | Sneakers Kenneth Cole

I showed you guys how I styled this dress as a top and vest last week, but I figured I should probably show you it as a dress as well. I decided to dress it down with some white sneakers for a daytime look, however, it could easily be dressed up with some sandals or heels too. 

Music Monday | Ex's & Oh's

Here's a song you've probably heard by now since I know I've heard it on at least three different promos. But I figured I'd share it since it has been stuck in my head for the past week. Enjoy.
