“Good things come to those who wait”–such a perfect statement for this outfit! I debated getting this two-piece set months ago. Finally, I went into Express again to look for it and to my surprise I was able to snag it for 70% off the original price (it’s as though the purchase was meant to be).

During the winter and colder days one of my favorite things to wear was my BCBG leather jacket; however, the weather has been way too hot for all that lately. So, I was really glad when I could find this faux leather vest from H&M to throw on top of things. It automatically adds some edge to any outfit.

Whether it be dinner in Soho, or out for the night in Meatpacking, these three easy pieces make for a bundle of options appropriate for numerous occasions.

This spring/summer I’ve done quite a bit of shopping. Therefore, I thought it’d be cool to see how I could remix some of the old pieces in my closet to create fresh looks. Doing this shows you just how much your personal style has changed over time.

One of my favorite tops in college was this ASOS shirt. I remember it was the first thing I ever ordered from the online shop, and I wore it all the time. What I love about ASOS is that there is such a large price range as well as size range to fit any need.

Usually I’d match this shirt with a longer cami underneath and a pair of jeans. Fast-forward to years later, and I thought this comfy top would look great with a fitted skirt, black booties and my favorite hat.

It’s just Monday, which means you have six more days this week to look fab! Ramble through the back of your closet to see if there’s anything you get excited about again!

In the spirit of summer, sometimes nothing beats throwing on some simple clothes and just relaxing. As I start packing for my trip to Cincinnati to visit my family for the 4th of July weekend, I’m very excited to take a temporary break from the fast pace of life and chill. I’ll also be shooting a lot with my sister Erica during the week so stay tuned!

Shorts and a V-neck are easy wins. For this look I enhanced it a tad with a comfortable fringe cover from Charlotte Russe and this novelty bag from Anarchy Street.

I hope everyone enjoys this holiday weekend! From the BBQs to the fireworks, hopefully we all take the time to have fun with our friends and fam!
