PALE PINK CHECKERED DREAMS...

Hey Everyone! I'm so excited to share this outfit with you today. I can't begin to tell you how comfortable it is. After taking these photos I actually went home and fell asleep in it, oops! The black Jersey tank top is free flowing but still has a flattering fit which is perfect for the summer heat. 

I've also become obsessed with this pair of pale pink checkered shorts. The pattern is not something you're used to seeing and lightens up the look and gives the outfit a fun girly vibe.

I spiced up this somewhat simple look with a cute white floral headband. I definitely plan to wear this outfit to an upcoming summer concert!

ROYAL ROMPER...

For today's post I am featuring an adorable royal blue romper. I think this piece in particular is great for summer because of it's light airy feel. It's perfect for those days when it's just too hot to be wearing anything else.  You're able to move freely in it and you're not constantly having to adjust.

The black lace trim is what made this piece catch my eye in the store. The two colors fit together perfectly and the lace gives the romper that little special something.

I paired it with an all black sunhat that includes and adorable black bow in the back. The bow is the perfect touch to the hat because it's not too flashy.  For footwear I chose a simple pair of black sandals that I previously owned. I believe I purchased them for somewhere around $15.00 at Marshalls.

DANCING THE DAYS AWAY...

 Today I will be taking dance classes from the very talented Ivan Koumaev and Lyle Beniga. Both are dancers on Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience tour.  I haven't danced in a few years so I'm excited to be back at it! Here's what I plan on wearing tonight. 

Everything you see pictured above are items I've previously owned. This post is more to give you an idea for something you could dig up out of your own closet so there's no need to go spend money. *Insert self-applause for not acting upon my shopaholic tendencies*

The white crop top I got from Target a few months back. It's such a staple piece that it wouldn't be hard to find in any store. The black workout leggings I picked up from T.J.Maxx for under $20. They're breathable and offer a lot mobility. 

I bought the bright red flannel at an upstate thrift shop for about $5. It might seem silly to be wearing a long sleeve flannel in the summer but it's very important to get your body temperature up during warmups to avoid injury. Throwing this on for the first few minutes of class will prevent that and once it gets too hot you're easily able to wrap it around your waist. To finish the outfit I paired it with my old pair of converse.

I have another outfit I will be posting later this week so be sure to stay tuned!

Much love,

Note: I ended up changing my outfit last minute before the class because well... I'm a girl, and that's just what girls do.

INSPIRED LOOK: ARIANA GRANDE EDITION...

For today's post I decided to channel my inner Ariana Grande. If any of you know me personally, or see my countless tweets about her, you already know how obsessed I am. Somehow I knew it wouldn't take long before I recreated her style on here. 

To copy her look I took a spin on her love for two-piece sets. I paired a black drop-waist quilted skirt with a simple dark grey crop top. 

For shoes I picked up a pair of cute black suede posh almond toed pumps.  Being only 5 feet tall, you can usually find Ariana in a pair of cute heels to give her some extra height. They are a must if you're trying to recreate her look. 

Finally, I accessorized the outfit with simple and sophisticated jewelry you could find 50s movie icons like Audrey Hepburn in. It gives the look a classy feel and keeps things simple and elegant.

RED, WHITE, BLUE IS IN THE SKY...

As cheesy as it is, I just had to post this outfit seeing how the Fourth of July is tomorrow. I decided not to include any blue so that the piece is wearable for many occasions other than Independence Day. The bright red and the crisp white is a perfect color combo and is what really makes the outfit stand out.

There are many details on these pieces that make it more than just a two-toned outfit though. The top features a zigzag pattern and a small horizontal slit in the front and the bottoms are lightly pleated. 

I paired it with the all white Target sandals from my previous post and a pair of brass, abstract inspired earrings. 

Also, I hope everyone enjoyed my Lana Del Rey reference in the title of this post!
