Being in a different setting for the summer has inspired me to stray away from all the items on heavy rotation during the school year. Deep hues, short skirts and prints are here to stay for the next few months, and I couldn't be happier.  There's something so refreshing about the change of the seasons, like another chance to start anew, re-evaluate your goals, strategies, wardrobe- and become inspired with your surroundings. Sort of cheesy? Maybe, but I'm all about anything that might require a new resolutions list (and some new outfits, anyone?). I'm currently in love with the deep blue of this ShopSosie top and on the hunt for as many items in the color as possible. Fun fact: this baby is a cold shoulder top, so being able to wear it as a regular top and still creating a look that I'm fond of is great! I always enjoy getting my money's worth when it comes to my purchases.  Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope everyone is feeling as inspired this summer as I am!

There is a huge problem with the current weather in Las Cruces- always too hot, always too windy. For the most part, you can't win. Luckily, my temperature tolerance is different for different body parts. In high school I wore short shorts when it was below freezing point and people questioned my sanity, but unless I had at least 3 layers and a jacket on top, I couldn't walk out of the house. Well, I think I've finally found my solution- heavy top, airy bottom!

The printed shorts are some of my favorites because of all the pairing options- any of the print colors are free game for the top! Ah, the possibilities! Here is a previous (much more colorful) look with the same shorts. The safest bet with these would be to keep your upper half monochrome (as I've done in both outfits), but for a more daring look, stick to smaller prints and at most two colors, preferably from the same color family as the shorts. And for those of us that are on the shorter side, a sturdy, chunky wedge is always a good choice.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy spring! :)

Outfit: Nautical Top + Skinny Jeans.

I've never realized how themed my purchases get when I shop in Romania. Apparently last summer I went all out with my nautical themed clothing. Okay, that may be an exaggeration. It's only two items that I know of, but you can bet that if I look through my things, I'll find even more nautical Romanian purchases that I hadn't realized I owned before. Gosh, the subconscious is a marvelous thing. Maybe it's telling me I should do a semester at sea or something. Or maybe I'm just making pointless college-related connections because I'm in the process of having a mental breakdown since I might change my major from something I love to something I feel blah about. But that's a rant I'll save for a different day.

Cheers!

Just a quick outfit post of yesterday's warm winter weather outfit!

I enjoyed the fact that I didn't need to bundle up completely, and at some points throughout the day it was even too hot to wear the jacket.

It's looking a bit like spring, and I'm loving every single minute of it!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
