Desert Flower

What I Wore: [Dress: Asos (similar), Vest: H&M (similar), Shoes: Bass (similar), Necklace: Kate Spade New York]

Hello, from Sedona! My spring break has finally begun and I couldn't be happier to be away from school for a week - granted, I don't foresee much sleeping in happening this break as my parents woke me up at 7 am this morning to go hiking, but I'm not complaining. As you can tell, I have already started working on my awkward sunburn (a look I have perfected over the past 21 years of my life) so this loose fitting dress was the perfect choice to put over my painful skin. I've worn it on the blog before (here) with tights, boots, and a jacket, but I wanted to show how it's such a great year round dress and can be worn in any climate. The dress is beautiful on its own, but it's a bit shapeless, so whenever I wear it I like to break it up with a jacket or vest, and this fringy one seemed like the better choice than my leather one when packing.

Floral Smock Dress

What I Wore: [Dress: Asos, Jacket: Macy’s, Boots: Sam Edelman, Bag: Jessica Simpson, Necklace: super old from Accessorize, Lipstick: Bobbi Brown “Rosy”]

I’m home! Finally, after 4 months of being abroad, I’m back in my hometown for the remainder of the summer. As much as I already miss London, which is an indescribable amount, it feels good to be back home with my family and friends and no longer living out of a suitcase. One of the best things that goes along with that is that I have been reunited with about half of my wardrobe (the other half still being at school in Portland) that I had been without for 4 months. I’ve been enjoying rediscovering pieces I’ve forgotten about and putting them together in new ways.

This look is made up of a dress I bought last september (after I saw Julia from Gal Meet’s Glam post a photo of her on Instagram wearing it and fell in love), a freakishly old utility jacket that I don’t even remember buying, and my beloved Sam Edelman boots. The smock shape of this dress is something that took some time to get used to because, let’s be honest, smock dresses are not meant to be flattering on anyone. They’re meant to be comfortable and easy (this one definitely is) which makes me not care so much about how my figure looks in it. Overall, I’m quite pleased with how this look turned out.

Thank you for stopping by!

What I Wore [Top: J. Crew, Skirt: American Apparel, Flats: Lucky Brand, Necklace: ASOS, Lips: Clinique “Curviest Caramel”]

These last few days the weather in Portland has been unbelievably beautiful every single day so I’ve had to put off wearing many of my sweaters and jackets and instead come up with some new combos for my warmer weather clothes. I love the mix of color and texture in this outfit, it gives lots of visual interest without being overbearing. I know I’ll be wearing this skirt for months to come seeing as I can pair it with just about anything. Hoping you’re all having a beautiful Saturday!

Until next time

Had to include these photos (only 2 of many) because staying serious when your best friend is taking your photo is hard!
