Holy crap, northern New Mexico is getting HOT! And I mean hot to the point where even short sleeves will have you buried under a mountain of sweat. Under the circumstances, what's a girl to do besides gather the breeziest fabrics in her closet and pile them on? (This particular girl should probably interact with some tanning lotion, but that's a different story.)

I believe the star of this super basic outfit is my Bella Jack charm bracelet, purchased at TJ Maxx. This was one of those purchases that I'm proud to say wasn't an impulse. I saw it a few days before I actually bought it, and the reason I decided to cash out on this pretty thing was the fact that it started running through my mind the moment I first laid eyes on it. I'm a huge sucker for anything nautical- anchors, stripes, navy, seashells, you name it, I'm on board with it.

I'm pumped for this new weather change, as it allows me to finally parade all my cute summer clothes around :)

Thank you for stopping by!

Back in the day when I was obsessing over Tumblr, I came across this picture of a girl wearing a strapless top, matched with a necklace made with golden leaves. I reblogged it as inspiration, but never actually expected to come across something similar. Fast-forward a couple of weeks, and there it was- the Tumblr necklace's silver twin, shining at me inside a Santa Fe Rue21 store. I'm not one to spend large sums of money for costume jewelry, so it was a relief to see that the price tag was only $2! Rue21 has some of the best sales in terms of costume jewelry. I have a lot of statement necklaces from them, most of them purchased for $2-$3 a piece on sale. It's the perfect place to shop for accessories as a poor college student, as the cute, trendy pieces can give any wardrobe a quick upgrade. 

My favorite piece from today's look is this pair of wedges that I managed to convince mother to let me have. A couple of years ago, one of my aunts bought comfortable wedges for basically every woman in my family except for the only one that actually wears heeled shoes a lot- me. They've been laying around the closet ever since, so I decided to try them on, and, surprise! They fit like a dream/match a bunch of my clothes/ are incredibly comfortable! I don't even understand why I go shopping in stores sometimes. A trip through all my family members' closets seems much more appropriate for my current financial situation.
