Take Two

Top:  J.Crew (old, similar here, lining this sleeveless version), Skirt:  c/o eShakti, Shoes:  Steve Madden, Bag:  Unknown (similar here), Earrings:  Tory Burch, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

When I put these pictures up on the computer I started to ask myself 'where had I seen this outfit before?'  It then occurred to me that this ensemble is strikingly similar to what I wore the last time I styled this skirt {see here}.  I hope you will all forgive me.  I will point out though, that I did try something a little out of my comfort zone by knotting the top rather than tucking it into the skirt.  I'm a big tucker, but I like the knotted look with this super high-waisted number.

Also, I finally broke down and bought these Steve Madden "Realove" heels.  Originally I had purchased a similar pair from Zara, but they just weren't comfortable for me {the straps were a little tight on my toes}.  I'm so happy that I went with these because they are comfortable and cute and reasonably priced.  

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Strange post title, I know, but appropriate for the subject of today's post.  I don't know if you have heard already, but as of July 1, Google Reader RSS {that includes GFC} will cease to exist.  That's right, no more daily updates from your favorite blogs sent to you via email.  

Top:  H&M (similar here, LOVE this one), Skirt:  c/o PB&J Boutique, Shoes:  J.Crew, Bag:  Anthropologie (old, simlar), Belt:  Madewell (identical one here), Necklace:  Helen Ficalora, Sunnies: Ray-Ban

Before the panic sets in {I can feel it through the computer screen}, I'd like to propose an alternative ~ Bloglovin'.  I have always followed my daily reads via Bloglovin'.  To me, it is an easy way to keep them organized and categorized.  

Also, to make the switch easier, the creators of Bloglovin' have set up an easy, two-click way for you to import the blogs you follow from Google Reader right to their site.  You'll have to set up an account first, but that should be quick and painless.  Click HERE to get started and good luck {only takes about 15 mins}.

Tropical

Top:  J.Crew ~ 25% off right now!, Pants:  Forever 21 (old, LOVING these for only $35!), Shoes:  Zara (similar here for $30!), Bag:  Unknown (similar here, here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

I was smitten with this tank as soon as I received the new J.Crew catalog.  The model on the cover was wearing it with the matching shorts and I loved the look so much that I was tempted to buy both pieces.  The print is more tropical that your typical floral print.  It instantly reminded me of my recent getaway to Key West and made me wish I were back in Margaritaville ~ but for now I'll have to settle for wearing it through the halls at my school.  

Happy Monday everyone!

Ombre

Sweatshirt:  Zara (old, great alternative here), Skort:  Zara (exact same here for just $23!), Shoes:  Zara (loving this identical pair under $30!), Bag:  H&M (similar here, here)

Pulled this sweatshirt from the dark depths of my closet and thought it looked perfect with my favorite skort ~ also the only skort that I own, but nonetheless, my favorite.

The final countdown...only three more days of classes left until school's out for summer!

Scalloped Seersucker Shorts

Top:  H&M (old, similar here), Shorts:  Lilly Pulitzer, Shoes:  Anthropologie, Bag:  Louis Vuitton (love this budget-friendly option), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Belt:  H&M (similar)

My love for all things scalloped continues, and scalloped PLUS seersucker makes these shorts that much better.  I sometimes have a problem finding shorts that are the perfect length but these definitely fit the bill.  Too long makes my legs look short, but too short and I'm showing butt-cheek {which no one wants to see}.  These are just long enough to cover my rear and still lengthen my legs.

Stripes and Camo

Jacket:  Gap (sold out, similar here, here), Dress:  Madewell, Shoes:  Zara (old, similar here, here), Clutch:  Unknown (similar here, love this one), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban 

Two of my favorite patterns paired so perfectly.  Hope all of the dads out there had a wonderful Father's Day!
