Fun Floral Shirt


Delia's Floral Shirt-Goodwill [$3.75]

Easy Spirit Sandals-Goodwill [$4]

Who remembers Delia's catalog? I remember my cousin Treeia and I flipping through Delia's when we were younger, picking out things that we never ordered. This shirt is bright, fun, and floral! I paired it with some wardrobe essentials for work, but could easily wear it with some denim shorts on the weekend.

June Ambrose Inspired Turban




I've been taking quite a few fashion risks lately! A few weeks ago, I decided to jump on the turban bandwagon and see what responses I would get. I'm sure that this look will never make it to work, but it was fun to wear on the weekend.

Back in May, during my last H&M Shopping Spree I tried on a pair of harem pants and regretted not buying them ever since. I was not making the same mistake twice when I went shopping over the weekend. First of all, I don't know what I was thinking going to the mall on tax free weekend! But in the end, it was soo worth it because I found 2 pair of harem pants and Camden some fly sneakers for less than $35. I am really surprised by this outfit, I was a little nervous to wear such a bold print to work, but paired with a neutral top I guess it is possible to be printed and professional. I have a few ideas for these pants, so stay tuned for a possible 1 Pair of Pants, 3 Looks post! The new eye wear were a gift and really finished off the outfit. Until recently, I had no idea what Carrera's were, but they do look good on me!

Confession: These pants are from H&M's Mama Maternity Line. Now as someones mama and I have no idea why these pants are maternity because they are 100% Viscose, the only stretch is the elastic waistband. They fit and they don't have that huge belly band that most maternity pants have, so a great addition to the wardrobe (even if I'm not expecting, and I'm definitely NOT).
