In Her Natural Habitat

Last weekend, I was on a mission to find a dress for my brother-in-law's upcoming beach wedding in Mexico. This proved really difficult. Everything I found was either too dressy or too casual... and being that it's January, there weren't too many options. Any any line that actually has a resort collection is typically out of my price range! So anyway, I failed this mission.

But I didn't come home empty handed!

I stopped in Old Navy to check out their sale and whaddyaknow, I accidentally bought an outfit. I say accidentally because when I tried these items on, I didn't put them on together. I was buying them as separate pieces. Today, however, I decided to try them all and look what I came up with.

 

 (I really need to take advantage of my tripod! And clean my mirror.)

You can't really see my pants all that well, but there isn't much to see. Just black stretchy jeans with ankle zips. The button down top is really light. I have a feeling I'll be wearing it well into the summer. 

Do you recognize these? After posting them last week, I just had to order them.

Can I tell you the best part about this outfit? It was ridiculously inexpensive.

And We're Back... With More Military

I meant to get a post up yesterday, but I ended up spending the day recovering from my long weekend trip to cold Ohio. I am happy to be back in SoCal to find extra warm weather.

Anyway, I found this Jacket on Polyvore today. It was originally $125 but is now final sale at $49.97 with most sizes still available. I couldn't pass on posting it! I meant to make the military-ness of it just a side note, but then I found the other three pieces and ended up making it over-the-top military. Ah well. I'm still really hooked onto the military trend.

Super Neutrals!

You may have seen the whole monochrome look in the magazines. Well, I have, and although it looks great on those models, I'm a little weary of it (for) myself. I think I've found a slight way around that with this look. Being that everything in it is fairly neutral, it kind of gives a bit of a monochromatic feel without actually being monochromatic.

Side note: I think this faux wrap romper would look so much better on a curvy lady than it does this model!

Finally, a Romper

I've been wanting to feature a romper for a while now. It's been difficult to find one that I loved, along with items to go with it. Many times I'd get stuck and just give up and move on to another outfit. This time I did it! Here is one in a bold bold pattern with a few great neutral accessories.
