I wore:
Gap black t-shirt
J.Crew linen shorts
Gap sandals

My Motive:

I hated wearing this today. I feel like wearing black means giving up, especially when that black comes from a boring black t-shirt. Waking up late has been my new thing and I think this outfit (if you can even call it that) shows it.

July 6, 2010

I wore:
H&M top
Gap skinny jeans
Gap Sandals
Light Years earrings

My motive:

I just bought this shirt yesterday for $10! I love H&M. I've been feeling like all I do is wear t-shirts and this blog has only affirmed that, so I was excited to find this shirt in all its colorful floral patterned glory. And it has a bow! Such a good, cheap thrill.

Here's the skinny on my jeans: These are much too short for me (like middle school girl syndrome) but cuffing them is my trick for the summer and tucking them into boots works in the winter.

July 5, 2010

I wore:
A romper from J.C. Penney
Sandals from the Gap
Bag from Gap
Bangle from Ten Thousand Villages

My motive:

I wear this when I want to have a good day. Because honestly, how can you not have a good day when you are wearing one of the most comfortable things ever made in one of the most vibrant colors I've ever seen? The only downfall of this cute guy is that I can never get the button open in the back, making taking it on and off very tricky. This is really only a problem when I need to use the bathroom. Other than that, it's like wearing joy.

I used to be a freak about matching. But now I'm a freak about wearing as many colors as possible. Wearing orange sandals with an electric blue romper just seemed like the right choice.

July 3, 2010

What I wore:
Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt
Old Navy skirt
Gap belt
Flip-flops by Havianas

My Motive:
Today just continued my red, white and blue shenanigans. When I walked up to the cookout that night a friend said "Whoa, you're super patriotic." Mission accomplished.

I thought this shirt would be perfect because a) it's red and white stripes and b) it's by Tommy Hilfiger, who is highly patriotic. The skirt is a default for me because it goes with just about everything. Unfortunately it stretched a little and so now I have to wear a belt with it. I kinda like it though.

This belt is slowly falling apart. I got it for about $5 at the Gap last year and I think I've worn it at least twice a week since then. It's perfect for belting dresses and skirts when they need some extra pizzazz.

Flip-flops. I understand that I should like them but I just don't. Whenever I wear them, I never feel like my outfit is complete. Sure, wearing them to the pool is great and practical but it doesn't feel right to throw them on with jeans. A lot of people do it and it looks fine, even great, but I just don't feel good in them.

July 2, 2010

I wore:
A thrifted t-shirt
Gap jorts
Target striped shoes
Banana Republic Outlet sunglasses

My Motive:

My theme for the weekend was red, white and blue to celebrate the 4th! I spent all morning babysitting my nephew and then headed over to a friend's house for a cookout. I honestly didn't care how I looked as long as I had America's colors on me!

I bought this t-shirt from Goodwill sometime in high school. It's served me well over the years and I don't really feel sloppy when I wear it, which is my main concern with wearing t-shirts.

I felt very patriotic in my cutoff jorts and a t-shirt. And by patriotic, I think I mean redneck. For some reason though, the 4th of July makes me have a strong pride in all things Ahmurican.

July 1, 2010

I wore:
Gap shorts
Gap flower t-shirt
Striped shoes from Target
Gap Messenger Bag

My Motive:

I LOVE mustard yellow. It's absolutely my favorite color. I also have a love for stripes and slip-on comfy flats. These shorts are so strange. I bought them a size down and they are still very baggy and tend to look like a saggy diaper in the back, which I only partly blame on their size. My lack of a behind is not innocent in that situation.

The shirt is somewhat strange as well. The flower in the middle distracts me because it is very heavy and almost feels like a 3rd boob. Sorry if that's TMI but aren't you sorry that a shirt could make anyone feel that way?

The shoes are my new favorites! So comfortable and funky. They go with more than I thought they would when I got them.

The picture is in a grocery store where a friend and I were on the hunt for Cheerwine Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. This is the last place we looked before giving up. My face shows how disappointed I was.

June 30, 2010

I wore:
An Old Navy t-shirt
Gap skinny jeans
Toms shoes
Anchor necklace from Light Years

My Motive:

This is my official go-to summer outfit: cuffed skinny jeans, slip-on kicks and a v-neck pocket tee. I woke up a little bit late for class and this was the first thing I found to throw on and run out the door to catch the bus.

It's not the cutest thing but its perfect for just going to class.
