In honor of all the "content" overload everyone's probably experiencing on eclipse day, here's a short and sweet blog post for ya. Summer may be ending, but LA temps are gonna be nice and sweat-inducing for a second longer, so subtle transitional uniforms is what I'm all about. </div>

Today, feast your eyes on a lazy-proof look: simple bodysuit + trousers + slides. Easy, comfy and hella versatile. Slap on some patent heels and shiny statement earrings for the nighttime. </div>

...okay, so that's probably not a true statement, but it doesn't stop me from rocking them! I came across this v dated top on a Goodwill outing and it reminded me of big 80s hair and bowling alleys and neon signs, so into the shopping basket it went. Months later, it finally got christened on a night out at the <a href="http://downtownartwalk.org/" target="_blank">DTLA Art Walk</a> - if anyone is gonna appreciate my GLOWesque shenanigans, it's the LA artist community. I think. I hope. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But back to that "shoulder pads are cool" statement - who on earth cares? I'm all for trends and fast fashion and Instagrammable looks and owning the same "it" top as every other blogger (because hey, some items really are that good), but clothes are an art form. Meaning, your sense of style should be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be. So here's my reminder to y'all. It's okay to wear that thing everyone else thinks is ugly or costume-y or whatever else-y. At the end of the day, what you put on your body is your business, and it should have one main goal: to make you feel beautiful/badass/sexy/insertotherdopeadjective. Go get'em, tiger! </div>

What's got THIS girl all up in smiles today? Possibility, exploration, long walks and this purrrrty Tobi dress (also featured <a href="http://fashamorphosis.blogspot.com/2015/08/outfit-keyhole-checkers.html" target="_blank">here</a>). These photos are coming atcha <strike>live</strike> delayed by like 5 hours, but shot today nonetheless. It was one of those days that didn't come with a plan; one that had the potential to be lazy and bed-ridden. Instead, it involved an hour-long walk to downtown and impromptu sightseeing at some of LA's most gorgeous hotels.<br /><br />For the occasion, I rocked nothing but the comfiest. You guys, Clarks shoes. We need to discuss these. My mom got her hands on these booties and swore they were the comfiest thing ever, and she's never been more right about an item. Pretty sure these are thrifted, as their shoes normally cost above the $100 price mark, but if you ever come across a Clarks discount, you need to take advantage. It's like walking on a cloud of fluff. I didn't even get any blisters! Speaking of shoes - anyone wanna throw some comfy shoe brand recs my way? Always on the lookout to grow that collection. </div>

...that's a big statement I have going on in the title, seeing as I'm also the proud owner of <a href="http://fashamorphosis.blogspot.com/2012/09/sail.html" target="_blank">this beauty</a>, and <a href="http://fashamorphosis.blogspot.com/2015/02/outfit-deep-v-dress-handmade-jewelry.html" target="_blank">this one</a>, but maybe my emotional attachment lies in the amount of work I had to put in for this gorgeous number. The moment Who What Wear started taunting me with this beautiful garment on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BV-Q4w2Fn8C/?taken-by=whowhatwearcollection" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, I knew I had to make it mine. The one tiny problem was actually finding the thing - by the time I decided to make the purchase, my size was sold out at every Target within reasonable driving distance AND online. But hey, I got the last laugh when a brand spanking new Target near me opened the week of my crisis. When I found out, I literally went to the store first thing in the morning, after not having slept all night (b/c crippling anxiety, not the dress - I'm not that extreme yet).<br />
<br />
This dress makes me feel mature and sophisticated in a way I've never quite felt before. Yes, it probably feels a bit older than <strike>early</strike> mid (?) 20s wear, but, alongside the rest of the Who What Wear collection, it really makes me look forward to dressing up as I blow through more candles on my birthday cakes. I dunno - there's just something about that sharp editorial sophistication that has me giddy for a more tamed, developed style... though I miiiiight still be rocking crop tops and body chains well into my middle age *shrugs*.<br />

Happy freaking National Book Lovers' Day, everyone! Ok, there's way too many invented holidays out there, but this one holds a special place in my heart. Why? Because after a decade+ of books just not being my thing, I have become their ultimate devourer. Seriously - flashback to 1st grade in Romania where I got a summer reading list of 100+ books and read a grand total of 1 (bless you, Wizard of Oz). As a kid, I absolutely refused to give reading a chance... to my mother's absolute disappointment. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
When did I become a reader? When I started craving and enjoying me time. When I realized I wanted to be a writer/journalist and the only way to be a good writer is to be a good reader. When I came to the conclusion that I had wasted an upsetting amount of time not being intellectually curious and seeking out voices different than my own. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This is a post of redemption. There are so many strong words out there that are waiting to be picked up. My "to read" list is inflating by the minute, but for now - here I am, sharing some #appreciation for the books that shook me in the best and worst of ways. Hope you'll give them a chance. </center>

Again, I saw the show before reading the book, and more than anything, I was curious about how true the show had stayed to the book. Verdict: pretty impressively true. </center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
Another amazing book by Jeffrey Eugenides. Love his rich storytelling - there's no real climax to this book, but delving into the life of its main character was mesmerizing. </center>

Loved reading about Ashley's beginnings. My favorite part? It's not a story about how modeling helped her see herself and her body in a new light blah blah blah - homegirl knew she wanted to model and was feeling herself to begin with!</center>

Happy Sunday Eve, precious ones! I hope everyone had a rejuvenating weekend - mine was filled with snuggles, yummy noms, and apartment deep cleaning which lord knows was necessary. SPEAKING OF YUMMY NOMS. I've been on an extreme brunch kick these past few weeks and have the photos (and future lookbook) to prove it. Today I'm looking back on this cute French-inspired little number, worn for a day at <a href="http://la.smorgasburg.com/" target="_blank">Smorgasburg LA</a>. If you're roaming around in the City of Angels, oh you must try this beautiful conglomeration of food. I can't speak for all their vendors, but <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goa_taco/?hl=en" target="_blank">Goa Taco</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lobsterdamus/" target="_blank">Lobsterdamus</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yellowbusiness/" target="_blank">Yellow Business</a> come highly recommended by me and my tummy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for the look? I've previously shared my love for this incredibly flattering bodysuit <a href="http://fashamorphosis.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-most-flattering-bodysuit.html" target="_blank">here</a>. For this outing, I decided on a more ladylike vibe, mostly for the purpose of hearing my mom boast about how nice and delicate I look when I'm not wearing stuff with a lot of cleavage. This one's for you, mom!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lastly, I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude to Zara for blessing me with these surprisingly comfy heels at the jaw-dropping price of $20. Rock on!<br /></div>

Happiest of Fridays, fam! I don't have much to say today, except ummmm ARE YOU GUYS SEEING THIS JUMPSUIT? Ok, so it's H&M Conscious Collection from 2 years ago or so, but it's one of those items I just wanted at any cost. Actually, scratch that. Not at any cost, seeing as I hunted it down until it went on sale. You know, cha girl wants to look good, but she also doesn't have mountains of cash to spend on items - particularly ones that won't yield an incredible cost-per-wear. </div>

Phew, it's been a long road guys, but here we are: the last batch of photos from Mexico. Since it's nearly August and the LA heatwave is in full swing, it was only appropriate to FINALLY put out a bikini look. I realize now I didn't get to document the bottoms in photo form, but if you're curious, have yourself a stalk on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIRXkYqE7qU" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, where I put together a (pretty well-done, if I do say so myself) summer vacation lookbook. </div>

A couple of years back, Forever 21 had an identity crisis where it was really feeling the warehouse discount store look, but I'm really happy to see them back up and putting out some pretty cute stuff. I might be a bit too old to be shopping there still, but let's be real - F21 and I will probably never break up. I'm just that person: the person who graduated college before she stopped reading Seventeen Magazine. #WHOOPS</div>

Anyway, I leave you today with these au naturel beach day pride shots. And I say pride because, believe it or not, both the boyfriend and I were under a vicious virus attack during the making of these photos (and that entire YouTube lookbook, for that matter). I guess it's comforting to know that we clean up pretty nicely even when the behind-the-scenes reel includes antibiotics, loads of fever-filled cuddles, and the occasional puke sesh? </div>

Okay, now that I've posted these photos absolutely everywhere, it was time to finally add the entire look to the blog. If you've somehow come across my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIRXkYqE7qU" target="_blank">Vacation Lookbook</a>, you already caught a glimpse of what is one of my favorite shoots ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Statement sleeves have been yuuuge this summer, and while it took a moment to find an Ada-friendly version of the trend, the juniors' section at Target had my back. I am absolutely in love with this top and this look's entirety - and have probably never owned a garment that made me feel sultrier. If a couple of years ago, you would have told me that I'd be wearing something that puts half my stomach on full display AND feeling hella fabulous in it, I would have called you mad. But guys, feast your eyes on the power of clothing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I challenge you to go out and find a piece you love - a piece that highlights a part of your body that society has deemed imperfect, and watch yourself bathe in confidence. Lemme know how it goes.</div>

While words are generally my preferred method of communication, sometimes it's kind of fun to try new things. Soooo...without further ado, the boyfriend and I did some vacation lookbook experimenting. Hope you guys enjoy. I'd love to hear your thoughts!</div>

When talking about vacation clothes, one of the bloggers I avidly follow was mentioning her rule for packing - it all needs to be flowy. Girrrrrl, do I feel you. There's three more looks from this trip coming your way, and each one of them has at least one element that's breathable and has movement. For someone who claims to not be boho, I really stand by my vacay loose clothes and rustic patterns. </div>

There's not much to say about this simple, shorts and crop top pairing - it just is what it needs to be and brings comfort to the most heatwave-plagued days. Let's take a moment and zoom in on that necklace, though. I bought it during the high school years, at a Bucharest (Romania) arts and crafts fair. Its DIY aesthetic definitely captured my attention and I thought I was the biggest badass for buying something that all of my friends would probably never be caught wearing. You know that person that just naturally "pulls off" stuff (or at least aspires to)? Yeahhh, that may or may not have been me during that time. And, well, forever aspiring. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You. Guys! I am the most picky about bottoms - as in, I want them inexpensive and fitting like a glove, which is usually a witch hunt since I'm short and, well, round. As you've probably noticed if you've been around these parts before, my collection of bottoms is very minimal... but lawd knows I try. </div>

Now enter my surprise guest: Forever 21. I'm honestly still in shock that I'm saying this. Although their $9 skinny denim has always been kind to me, I still find them a bit rough in the bottoms department otherwise. But hey, after discovering their freakin' awesome formfitting <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=bottoms_shorts-denim&ProductID=2000152851&VariantID=014" target="_blank">distressed denim shorts</a>, I might just stand corrected. Really though, I'm impressed with the way in which Forever 21 is constantly improving its styles. From their swimsuits to their super dope plus size section, they're definitely one major retailer to keep on watching. </div>

Hellooooo, LA heat wave (And lost souls that somehow ended up on this blog. Hello! Hi! Luv yah!). Well, guys, it's finally summer - as in, sizzling, YouTube-worthy eggs frying on the sidewalk summer. What's a girl to do besides plop herself in front of an AC unit with a pint of ice cream in hand? Wear a cute, breathable jumpsuit, of course. This lil' number, a relic from my time in retail, is finally making an appearance after being hidden from the blog for ages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a question for any bloggers stumbling around here: what do you think constitutes a fashion/personal style blogger? I ask because part of the reason this jumpsuit's been hidden was me thinking it's not "blog worthy." But what does that even mean? At the end of the day, your blog should be your space and speak your truth, amirite? How you do you guys keep your head on straight in a blogging world that seems to just be after a huge following and monetization? Help a sister out! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Woah, can't believe it's already July, let alone the 4th! Can I pass this as my actual OOTD? There are some red accents in there... Of course not, who am I kidding? You can't wear a jacket in LA anymore cause it is fiery hot in here.</div>
<br />
I have to admit, these photos were supposed to be posted a good month ago, but between some unfortunate professional setbacks, an impromptu Mexico vacay, an icky stomach bug, and hives (basically just a good week + of my body deciding it hates me), well, I just wasn't having the blog life.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, shit happens, life moves on, and if I can take it on while wearing two of my favorite reasonably priced summer staples, then who am I to complain?</div>
<br />
Friends, behold, the <a href="https://www.target.com/p/women-s-bardot-bodysuit-who-what-wear-153-black/-/A-52089453#preselect=52089183" target="_blank">Who What Wear Bardot bodysuit</a> and <a href="https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/aldo-resplandina-sandal/375531?activeColor=603&cm_mmc=influencer-_-Spring2017_SpringTrendVlogger_" target="_blank">ALDO mules</a> - my favorite items to latch onto this summer! I tend to take social media promotions with a grain of salt, but when the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whowhatwearcollection/?hl=en" target="_blank">@whowhatwearcollection</a> Instagram posted a pic, self-proclaiming this baby as the 'Most Flattering Bodysuit,' I somehow caved. And boy, am I glad I did. Seriously guys, buy this. It's flattering. It's versatile. It's trendy. It's not sponsored - although I wish. Hit me up, Who What Wear ;).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lastly, the mules - I avoided this trend SO much, but I guess it finally got to me. I purchased them on a DSW shoe binge, then came across this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8B2my23GA8" target="_blank">Wendy's Lookbook</a> collab showcasing them. And in that moment, I suppose my purchase was validated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hope you guys are loving your summer days <3</div>

LA is being gentle this week - so I'm emulating it in my thoughts, actions and intentions. Words feel pretty overwhelming at the moment, so I'll just leave you with the lush greens of Silverlake and powdered violet of my Romanian hand-me-down top. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A year and a half - that's how long ago the rest of my life started. The plan was to cleanse myself of Las Cruces, of the country bars and house parties and empty strip malls and soul-sucking pale landscape.<br /><br />The day I left, I regained feeling in my body. Happy tears in my eyes. Butterflies in my stomach at the absolute uncertainty of adult life and all of its opportunities. I know how dramatic it sounds, don't worry. But Cruces tore me down and the day I was out was one of the best days of my life. I regained a sense of gratitude for this vast world and the people and places it houses. And here I am, a small fragment of this world, somehow making it work in this crazy big city - and for a second, I forget how lucky I am. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For a second, the backlit palm trees and vibrant streets lose their charm. My support system - my loving better half, my continuously encouraging family - mean nothing as I focus on the one thing not going right in my life among 1,000,000 positives.<br /><br />Not today, Satan! Today I bask in the sunshine and slap on some color and I bite the heck back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because life's too short to sweat the small stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because I promised myself I'd never be a passive spectator. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm engulfed in them to the point of restlessness. Visions of wanderlust and written words and spoken words and read words and fabrics and the outdoors and the split second of fear and uncertainty when the plane takes off and the knowledge that when you get off, for a moment, you can be whatever you want to be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These replay in my mind when I try to catch the stupid breath that's been failing me for weeks. How can my lungs be full of so many dreams and plans? How can they hold in so much youthful optimism, but when I push to release it all, what comes out is stagnant and uninspiring? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to be out there experiencing life. I want to tell stories. I want to dissect beautiful minds layer by layer and share their knowledge with the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to live without the fear of tomorrow. I want my breath to slowly fill me in with oxygen. I want to remember what life before anxiety was like. I want a sign - that this is where I'm meant to be. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coming 'atcha again with a quickie post. I've been trying to motivate and have this up for the past month, but time and time again more pressing things happen.<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to be here, cultivating my little corner of the internet again, but words are difficult for me at the moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />I leave you here, though, with this sunny and carefree Silverlake day. See you soon, in another post, full of color and smiles! </div>

...and a post quickie, because I've been dying to share this look on the blog. This Aldo bag steals my heart time and time again - and I finally put together a look that really does it justice. Normally I'd wear tennis shoes and my baggy army jacket for brunch (b/c food baby), but spring did a number on me. </div>

This jacket photographs even better than it looks - but the angsty teenage girl I saw in H&M the other day would not agree. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right as I decided this jacket and I would live happily ever after, the following conversation happened right by my side: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-MOTHER: How about this jacket? *touches jacket in same color as mine*</div>
-ANGSTY LA TEEN: Ewww that's so gross.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Whoa, it's been a while. Actually. I'm not going to pretend this is some sort of comeback. Truth is, I'm not sure when/what my next post will be - but I know this cozy little blog will be here waiting whenever I'm ready.</center>

This past month has been too fast-paced for my liking, but as things fall into place, I have more and more time to enjoy LA's <strike>rare</strike> sunshine and some lovely, boyfriend seal of approval photography. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've been curious about Target's WhoWhatWear collection for some time now, but never quite found the motivation to try on some of the items... until now (and lord knows I can't make a purchase without trying it on beforehand). Last week I was a woman on a mission - namely a mission to pick my number ONE standout item from the entire collection and invest. And yes, when you're a young professional in a big, expensive city, even $35 counts as investing... </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Without further ado, here it is. The dress of my dreams and realities - and I couldn't be happier with it.</center>

Yes, this outfit was comfort. Walking through Griffith Park on a cozy LA day - the kind where I'd fluctuate between wearing a coat and a short sleeve, the kind that is missed now in a week full of rainstorms - everything was comfort. </center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
This year has started off better than I could have ever imagined (except for Jan. 1, which I forget existed because I was sleeping off a hangover - sorry mom). My soul has been fed with so many little happies - from starting my first big girl job to hosting my college bestie and convincing her to at least not hate LA, to Latin dancing and so many other sweet moments. It's been a lot of pleasant experiences, and I hope to continue that deep into the new year.<br /><br />I want to focus my time and energy on experiences, on relationships, on learning and growing and being more open to trying new things. They might not all be up my alley, but as long as I feel and look comfortable, everything will be just right. I'll keep you posted. </center>

I keep leaving and coming back. It's been a slow year for the blog - not that the previous years have been particularly fast - but this one felt sporadic and inspiration-less. Maybe it's the 'content clutter' out there, making me feel like being on the internet isn't worth it. Like I'm contributing to our world's dumbing down, in one way or another. Or maybe it's just my current relationship with myself and my surroundings. Either way, it's been dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This blog was never intended for other people's enjoyment. It's my place to create and store and document - and if my point of view is relevant and interesting to anyone else's life/style/experiences, I welcome it with open arms. It's my place to be and discover and share my most authentic self. Hopefully I've achieved that even in my half-assed presence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's been a couple of times when I considered just deleting the blog - but then I'd be erasing 4 years of memories and coping mechanisms. This post was intended to be lighthearted and poke fun at my overworn mom jeans; not sure when it all went downhill. I suppose I just needed a good ol' interwebz therapy session. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the next year, I look forward to taking on this blog with fresh eyes. My life feels more together. I have a job lined up starting January. I'm in the middle of enjoying a long, relaxing holiday with my family. Everything feels purposeful, and it's given me time to think about the future. I want a 2017 that's focused on experiences, rekindling friendships and relationships, creating new ones, cultural immersion, and very limited materialistic happiness. Of course, style will still be an integral element of this blog - it's my most trusted form of expression. But life is about so much more, and I want to become aware of it. So here's to a new year of blogging - same focus on fashion as a means of expression, in a happier heart, centered mind, and aware body. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was going to bring up how long it's been since I frequented this corner of the internet ... until I told my boyfriend I was posting again and he asked if I would be bringing up my absence in this first post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Am I really that predictable? Geesh! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not that I haven't wanted to be back - I miss writing; REALLY sitting down and writing - SO much, but the end of daylight savings has really taken a toll on me. Fall has me in a constant state of melancholy and goosebumps, not to mention a lack of inspiration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll get up every morning, put on the same pair of jeans (or trade it off for the ankle variety), pile up a cami and one of three sweaters I own and call it a day. My current mission is to start building a stronger fall/winter wardrobe because, well... just cause I don't like the dang season doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Go figure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the more constant things in my life recently has been this white sneaker, which at press time is actually more of a light gray accumulation of dust and dirt. Nonetheless, these shoes are my saviors time and time again. When I'm boring; when I'm stylish - they're there for me, keeping my feet cozy and cool. </div>

Here, they're rocking out to errand day, striking a pose for the judgy onlookers that for some reason can't wrap their heads around people taking pictures outdoors. They did pretty well, if I do say so myself. </div>

The sight of bracelet stacks and dangling necklaces is intoxicating, and so is the feeling of coming up with a look like that on a day when I just want to be sleeping and sipping on some tea. The latter is the bad kind of intoxicating, obvi. As in, the type that has that creepy black skeleton with the crossing bones on it 'intoxicating.'</div>

Hence, as much as I love stalking blogger upon blogger and admiring their keen attention to detail, I just can't commit. Nuh-uh, my friends. On a Sunday you will find me sleeping away until the very last minute, at which point I will throw an embroidered slip dress on and dress it down with some of my favorite staples.</div>
<br />
This thrifted number is one of my favorites. Although I wear it very rarely, it's one of those items I'm probably going to be saving for the kids. Quality material, timeless shape. To make it current, I added the shoe trend that took us lazy folks by storm - a super cool structured sneaker (my Lacoste babies are gray, but some crisp whites would completely transform the look) and a battered denim jacket- a staple of every thrift store in sight.<br />
<br />
At the end, I added just a sliiiight bit of pizzaz with a vibrant liquid lipstick. It's amazing how such a minimal effort-requiring procedure can pull together a look.<br />
