Casual Black Outfit + Linkup

Black top (on sale, size up) // Jeans // Sandals (go 1/2 size down) // Hat (similar) // Circle Purse // Scarf

June is one of those weird weather months in LA. Every year, without fail, the fog and clouds just roll in. You think I would accept it by now. I am an LA native, but there's a naive part of me hoping it will skip this year. Doesn't look like June Gloom is missing out. So it makes for interesting dressing. You get up reaching for sweaters. Then by midday, you're regretting all the warm layers. While I don't recommend wearing all black in the middle of Summer, I have a better chance at getting away with it during this split weather month. 

Now, let's talk accessories. Every season I find myself adding in new accessories to transition into the next season. This bag is my new go-to bag and it's on major sale. It fits your essentials and adds a unique twist to any outfit. The other purchase that I'm so excited about are these suede sandals. Literally, they feel as close to being barefoot (in a good way). If you know me well, you'd know that I'd rather be barefooted as much as possible. But they don't need any breaking in and could wear them with just about anything! 

Let's flashback to last year's look here. Besides being a neutral outfit, it brings me back to one of my favorite cities, San Francisco. Better yet, it makes me wish I was still waiting to eat at one of best brunch spots, Nopa. In between waiting for a table, we found a cute alley to snap some pictures. You guys go there. It's completely worth the wait.

Subtle Prints + Linkup

top (size up if you have broad shoulders) // jeans // purse // shoes // hat

It's one of those Fridays that I'm not sure if I should celebrate or pause for a minute. It's June guys! JUNE! That also makes it my birthday month.

It's a big birthday too. The big 3-0. Feels so weird to actually type that out. I feel like I just blinked and my 20's are about to disappear. If I'm being honest, I have mixed feelings about it. I don't really feel older, but I was hoping for a big trip to celebrate. It's those expectations that are getting the best of me. Life isn't going to play it out like that, but we will spend the day in a familiar town at a new place. I'll share later. The timing might not be right for a big trip this month, but I'll keep my options open for something this year. Just putting that out into the universe, kay?

And if there is something I'm crazy excited about it's this top and purse! You know I love me some Madewell. Possibly too much, but I can live with that. Both are on sale and I can't even count how many times I've worn them. And I loved the print so much I scooped up the dress version too. #sorrynotsorry

Thank you for linking up with us! There were so many great looks! Our picks this week are Mary from Mary Murnane and Kelsey from Pardon My French!

Casual Weekend Outfit

long cardigan // top // jeans // espadrilles // purse // hat // sunglasses

My theory is that if I were all my casual weekend outfits it will make the weekend come faster. Totally wore this to work. I'm luck to have a really easy-going dress code. I'm still testing this theory out, but I'll report back. Either way, I'm all about wearing the heck out of my favorite staples. One that I need to get my hands (actually feet) on are more espadrilles. Last year I lived in these and sadly had to retire them. Not only are they comfortable, but go with tops and shorts and dresses. Here are a few that I have my eye on.

Now, let's flashback to last year's look here. If there's ever a color combination that always works, it's black and white. All these pieces have been worn so much. Actually, I need to replace the white jeans and really not looking forward to it. Anyone else rather go to the dentist than go white jeans shopping?

Thanks so much for linking up with us! Our picks are Ruth from The Little Nest and Alicia from Between the Pearls!

Bell-Sleeve Stripes + Linkup

Stripe top (size xxs, on sale) // Jeans // Booties // Jacket // Hat (similar, similar) // Sunnies

It's official. I haven't met a stripe oversized top that doesn't get my heart singing. A few weeks (see here), I tried this bell-sleeve stripe top on. I held back because a) I have enough stripes and b) it was full priced. Those few weeks gave me enough time for the universe to hear me. It went on sale and sits in my closet nicely. Well, except when I pretend I'm a professional bruncher on weekends. It's oversized in the best way. The kind that hides any traces of pancakes and quiches. Anyway, I plan to do as much eating and matcha drinking this weekend for a little trip to San Francisco. Pretty sure this top will be coming, too. Oh, I know everyone is going craazzzy for the Shopbop sale, but Madewell is doing 15% off e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g (hint, hint this top is on extra sale). How cute is this tshirt? 

Okay, time to flashback to last years look here. It's an outfit that has all the basics you can't go wrong with. Bonus points for being one of those outfits that you know you can look at year after year and not cringe (you know what I mean). 

Thank you for linking up with us! So so many cute outfits! Our picks this week are Amy Ann from Straight A Style and Sarah from Trendy and Tidy!
