Dressy-Casual

When I get dressed, I'm usually going for a good blend of dressed up but still casual, so that no matter where we end up I'm dressed appropriately.  This look seems like the perfect dressy-casual outfit.  Plus it includes a jeweled collar and cut-out back, so really, where can you go wrong?

Top - Chloe K / Shorts - Target (very old, similar) / Bag - H&M (very old) / Flats - Payless / Earrings - c/o Shopbevel / Bracelet - Fancy Frills 

I've been slowly adding a lot of this color blue to my closet, I think it's going to be one of my favorites for fall.

Romping

I saw this romper on The Glossy Life and was like, "Yeah, I need that!"

Then I got it in the mail and said "Eh," so I took it back.

But I got home the next day, to find another package at my house with the same romper inside.  Just like the cat that kept coming back (did you sing that song in elementary school?)  So I thought I had to give it another try.

Romper - Loft / Necklace - c/o Shopbevel / Heels - Steve Madden (old, similar here)

 Fiiiiiine romper, I guess you can stay.  Until I realize I need to go to the bathroom, at least.

Maxi + Vest

This little denim vest has been going everywhere with me lately.  I think the boyfriend is mostly confused by it, he references a different grunge singer from the early '90s every time I wear it.  He would probably be even more confused if I told him I actually found this maxi in the maternity section at Target, so shhh, don't tell him.

Dress - Target (old) / Vest - Gap / Necklaces - Baublebar and Stella & Dot / Earrings - c/o Shopbevel

These little elephant studs were sent to me by the lovely people at Shopbevel.  I basically love anything with an animal on it, so these little guys were right up my alley.  

Have a happy Thursday!

Patterned Shorts

Service Announcement: For those of you who somehow haven't heard, Google Reader will be disappearing on Monday, July 1st.  Make sure to follow Kristina does the Internets via Bloglovin or, you know, bookmark my page or something so you don't miss me!

I had the boyfriend snap these while we were heading out to meet some friends last week.  I can't believe I haven't taken pictures there before, the bright yellow is so fun!  

Top - Gap (old, similar here) / Shorts - Target / Shoes - ShoeMint / Earrings - Shopbevel

I got these silky shorts from Target a couple of weeks ago and am excited that it's finally warm enough to wear them.  They look dressed up, but feel like wearing pajamas.  Which, really, is like living the dream.  

Shopbevel was kind enough to send me these fun earrings.  According to the designer, they're supposed to be a modern take on a feather earring.  I really like the edgy design, and that they weren't so heavy they weighed my ears down.

Stripes & Scallops

Do you ever buy anything because it feels like kismet?  I was on Shopbop during a major sale, and found these shorts, left only in my size.  So of course, I had to get them!

Top - Loft / Shorts - Club Monaco / Wedges - NY&Co (old, similar here) / Necklace - Francesca's (similar here) / Earrings - c/o Shopbevel

I love the little hint of emerald these earrings add to my look.  I usually only wear simple studs, but I'm loving the impact these make.

Wait, is this the second time I've shown this top this week?  I swear, the pictures were taken like, two weeks apart at least ;)

Warm Weather Work Wear

Wow.  That title.  Helloooo, alliteration.  My fourth grade poetry teacher would be proud.

For the past couple of months, I've been dying for a white pencil skirt.  I'm not really sure why, I don't remember pinning an outfit with one or even seeing one in stores.  Which made my search particularly tricky.  Luckily JCrew Factory pulled through for me.  Confession: this is the first thing I've ever gotten from JCrew Factory.  Or JCrew.  Sorry for all of the jaws that now have to be picked up off of the floor.

Neon & Sparkle

Since I saw the first preview for The Great Gatsby, I've been really excited about '20s styles.  The drop waists and loose fits don't really work for my body type, so rather than going full-out flapper I've been incorporating little details in more subtle ways.  This Shopbevel necklace is the perfect way to add a little vintage flair to a modern look.  I love the way it dresses up a casual tee.

Tee - Loft / Chambray and Shorts (old, similar here) - Target / Necklace - c/o Shopbevel / Shoes - Shoe Mint / Bracelet - Baublebar (similar here)

I wore this over the weekend to my first street festival of the season.  It turns out wearing neon yellow is an excellent way to find your friends in a crowd ;)
