Sometimes blog posts have no exciting story to go with them. For instance this would be one of them. Really nothing of note here. It’s been a while since I’ve worn this button front denim skirt, and  so I thought it would go well with this lavender top. In addition to that, it now also matches my lavender hair. As much I liked my purple hair I am really loving how it faded into this lavender hair. I wish it could stay this way forever!

Wore this for an outing to grab some pumpkin spiced lattes with my boo. Hope y’all had a great weekend, did you get up to anything exciting?

I really like pink and blue together. It’s a colour combination that I revive every summer, if not even all year round depending on my mood. There’s just something fun about the contrasting mix that I really love. But stripes are kinda new to me. While I’ve always owned stripes I’ve never really worn them.

Although this top is actually on loan from my mom who wanted to donate to the blog cause. At first I wasn’t sure I was going to use it, but to be honest my love for the side slit far outweighed my disdain for stripes. In the end I liked the nautical look so much that I went out and purchased a few striped accessories (anchor tote bag and hat). So I’ve become one with the stripe now. How about you, are there any trends you weren’t that into at first that ended up growing on you?

One trend I am really enjoying this summer is pairing a crop top with a full skirt or high-waisted pants. It’s a great way to reveal a little bit of skin while keepin’ it classy. Now don’t get me wrong, every outfit has it’s occasion and there’s nothing wrong with baring it all in the right setting. But for a dinner date night this outfit had me feeling trendy without showing off too much skin. 
 
Now, the skirt. When I saw it I was immediately drawn to the baroque style print as I hadn’t seen a floral print quite as exquisite as this in a while. I must mention that this skirt was spotted during a thrifting session and it was a tad bit too big. However, at $7.49 this skirt was coming home with me no matter what. Typically I would have worn it with a white or black top but decided to be a bit adventurous for myself (as I tend to prefer sticking to monochromatic dark hues) and paired it with a bright pink fuschia top that I’ve had for ages. 
 
What about you, what are some gems you’ve found while thrifting?
