Pretty in Plaid

There's virtually nothing I love more than the feeling of finding the most perfect gem at a thrift store, let alone finding two things:) The vast majority of items featured in this playful look I love were found tucked away in a thrift shop. I'm not huge on thrifting in general, however as an avid lover of all things retro, sometimes there's no better way to get an authentic look. One can only shop so long until a "60s-Styled" blouse and "80s inspired" shorts just start to feel tired... give me the real deal. Needless to say I was more than happy to romp around in my cute little plaid playsuit, and didn't hurt that it was less than $10!

I got this fun playsuit at the Goodwill right by my house #score

Texas + August = me and lots of refreshing drinks!

In the Lavender Haze

One of my absolute favorite things is an awesome pair of mom jeans. They're an easy way to make an outfit have a slightly retro touch without taking it overboard. I always like pairing mine with a colorful belt to avoid the boxy silhouette that baggier bottoms can sometimes create...lol I'm a fan of accentuating what few curves I do have!

I love very minimal jewelry; I normally wear the same two bracelets every day with one or two different pieces added depending on my outfit. The same goes for my necklace, which reads "peace." The only things I change dramatically are my rings...I have too many to choose from.

I have to say it’s super weird to think about the fact that this is my last blog post of 2014…seems like just last week I was complaining about the raging summer heat! Although the majority of us tend to become quite wistful in reminiscing on great moments from the year, I could not be more excited for a new year and all of the new experiences that it will bring. I’m so looking forward to seeing the exciting projects that my friends and myself will take part in this year and all that we’re able to accomplish. From my high school graduation, to heading off to college in a new city, 2015 will bring a lot of new beginnings for me…and I’m ready for them all. I’m trying not to go all pseudo-philosophical on you guys, but I just want to encourage everyone who’s reading this to continue on your journey working towards whatever your goal is…everything that is meant to be will come into fruition when it’s the right time!
