On Wednesdays we wear....

T-shirt: Loft Vest: Asos (Similar here and here) Pants: Old Navy Shoes: Steve Madden (Also avail. here and here) Necklace: Y-shaped necklace and long necklace Purse: Saint Laurent Earrings: BaubleBar

PINK! Yes, I know I've said in the past that I rarely wear pink, and I don't. I own like 3 pink clothing pieces and pink is towards the bottom of my list of favorite colors, but some pieces just look cute in pink. These Steve Madden wedges came in different colors but when I first saw them, the pink ones caught my eye! The only items I ever purchase in pink is nail polish and lipstick. 

One of my favorite jewelry stores, BaubleBar currently has 30% off site wide with promo code: "xmasinjuly" and trust me you need to take advantage of this sale! 

"On Wednesdays we wear pink," is a famous line from almost every girl's favorite movie: Mean Girls. This post is in tribute of that movie and also to the real mean girls. I've recently received some ugly comments or messages from people and although people say "sticks and stones may broke my bones but words may never hurt me," the truth is, words do hurt! People tend to forget that there's someone on the other end of that comment and not some robot. In my eyes perfection is a unicorn - nonexistent. Everyone has their own definition of perfection and most people will never see eye-to-eye. There's a big misconception and just because your favorite may not be pink doesn't mean you can't be girly. You don't have to parade around in a dress 24/7 to be girly; wearing a t-shirt and jeans doesn't mean you don't enjoy getting dolled up. Be who you want, dress how you like and embrace yourself; it doesn't matter what others say. We're all meant to be different and if we all liked the same thing and thought the same way, we'd be boring and robots. 

The point of all of this is just remember next time you decide to say or leave an ugly comment to someone, remember that your opinion can be expressed without coming off as rude, mean, or hurtful.

I've also received amazing messages and to those people I want to say thank you; thank you for reading, following along, and just being YOU!

Fourth of July: Stars & Red

Dress: Old Navy Necklace: BaubleBar Sneakers: Converse Purse: Rebecca Minkoff

I fell in love with this Old Navy dress over a month ago and I knew instantly that I had to wear it on the Fourth of July. I wasn't sure if I would be pairing this dress with sandals or heels, wishful thinking on my part. My Fourth of July plans changed at the last minute so this dress just make an everyday summer dress but in the spirit of celebrating Fourth of July a little early, I decided to pair this dress with my red converse. The fact that this dress is made of a chambray material only made me love it even more!

 If you didn't know since high school I have gone by the nickname of "america" so it's like Fourth of July is my celebration, okay maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I love to dress up in red, white, and blue or stars and stripes to show how much I love this country. 

Let's be honest.....

Is it just me or has this week been one of the longest weeks ever? I woke up Tuesday morning thinking it was Thursday only to quickly have my bubble burst and spent most of yesterday thinking it was Thursday. I don't know if it is the fact that I am still trying to adjust to losing an hour of sleep or just that this week has been one crazy week, but one thing I do know is that I haven't really had the energy to get all dolled up. I've worn different versions of this outfit throughout the week. Chambray tops are a common staple in my wardrobe; yes, I own over five different chambray shirts and I'm always searching for new ones. 

Even though this week has been a hectic one, I don't think it is a valid excuse to not look presentable or decent. Years ago I made a promise to myself, that unless it was a life or death emergency, I wouldn't leave my house looking like "a hot mess," in simplest terms. Life is filled with so many unexpected things that you never know who you might run into and you always want to be presentable. Growing up my mom always told me that to always look put together because if not there might be a big chance that I can run into my boss, an enemy, or my possible soulmate. On the days where I can't find time to get dressed up or to put together a thorough outfit, I throw on a pair of jeans or pants and a chambray top. It makes your life so much easier if you have a go-to outfit or a back-up outfit plan. Come next week it is officially Spring so I decided to enjoy my leather pants as much as possible before I put them away until October, but I decided to wear bright colored sandals to add some color to this week and my outfit. 

Mad about Plaid

Top: J.Crew Jeans: Old Navy Boots: Piperlime Purse: 3.1 Phillip Lim Earrings: Gorjana Rings: Gorjana and BaubleBar 

During Fall and Winter plaid is all the craze! Yes that means plaid, checkered, flannel, buffalo for the people who say that they're all the same - they're not! The past few days the weather in Miami has been all sorts of confusing - windy, rainy, and gloomy so my solution is throwing on a pair of booties! As long as there's wind I will be wearing booties and luckily these were a complete steal at Piperlime! I love plaid and when I saw this plaid shirt with embellished pockets in the J.Crew window I became determined to add it to my closet! The weather in Miami makes it impossible to wear a plaid blanket scarf so purchasing plaid shirts still allows us Miami locals enjoy the plaid craze. 

Last day of Summer.....well kind of

Top: Old Navy Skirt: Joie Hat: Asos Shoes: Chanel Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Necklace: BaubleBar (Similar)
and BaubleBar Rings: BaubleBar (crystal ring, pearl ring, crown ring, and initial ring)

The last full day of Summer was yesterday but here in Miami the temperatures are showing no sign of dropping below 95 degrees Fahrenheit anytime soon. The easiest solution in beating the summer heat is LINEN. The word linen makes some people cringe because of it wrinkling so easily, and I used to be one of those people until I came across this Joie Chambray Skirt. At the beginning of the summer I was looking for the perfect chambray pieces, and this skirt made me reconsider my opinion about linen. I know believe the wrinkles in linen pieces add character to your outfit. I decided to wear an all linen outfit to survive and celebrate the last full day of "Summer."

How did you wear linen this summer?
