Mustardseed Cutie

Today my goal was to assemble an outfit that worked with these new sandals I'm in love with. (They're green and brown and I'm getting a black and silver version soon.) I don't know if this look really works with the sandals...so I'll probably have to continue trying. But, here is Saturday's outfit of the day; perfect for strolling through the Grove and having lunch at Cheesecake Factory.

White tank: Foreign Exchange

Vest: Charlotte Russe (long time ago)

Belt: H&M ( borrowed from a boy who lives down the hall lol)

Shorts: Fashion Q

Sandals: Bakers

Do you have any ideas for outfits that will go with either the beaded sandals or yellow shorts???

Outfit of the Day: Pink and White Delight

Hey!

I'm hoping to do more outfit of the day posts in honor of this being my last quarter as a college student. This year will catalog my outfits as student, to a graduate looking for work and, hopefully, a full-time employed writer!

Today was another beautiful day in L.A. and dressed for it in pink and white with grey shoes, natural eye shadows, brown liner for a more subtle look than black, and no accessories.

top: forever 21

shorts: american eagle

sandals: bought while traveling

Inspired By Hanna Marin Pretty Little Liars Homecoming Dress

Even though the homecoming episode of Pretty Liars is from season 1, I'm still in love with the girls' dresses. For those of you out there who want a dress similar to Hanna's, check out this one from Windsor.

Hanna's dress features a sparkling cinched waist and soft fringe bellow the waist.

 This would look great accessorized just like Hanna's dress.

Club Dresses to Tunic Tops

Continued from my last post. Here are a few more little treasures that have caught my eye recently.

Want a black dress that highlights your hott curves? Here it is. The draping and sparkling details at the waist will fall perfectly onto your figure. Take a closer look here.

Yes, I'm becoming more and more crazy about belted dresses that flair out at the hem with a tutu. It's so cute and paired with layered belts you get extra edge and attitude. Right now it's only available in large, but check it out here.

 If you've been blessed with a slightly fuller bust, this top is for you. The layers of ruffles and sparkles are girly, the dark color gives a touch of attitude. Pair with a leather jacket for an edgy look or with statement jewelry for a feminine finish. Take a look at it here.

 Curvy roads ahead! A urban outfitters dress for those of you who know you've got an hourglass, figure-8 shape.

Shopping Overview

Here are the cutest clothes from some of my favorite online stores. Let me know if you like the pieces or the stores I've chosen...and feel welcome to tell me your favorite stores so I can check them out too :)

Retro Inspiration

Here's a cute top with a retro peterpan collar from NewLook. For a smart casual look pair with a blazer and black pants. For a relaxed look, try green cargo style pants or a short black knit skirt. Check out the top here.

Polka dots and prints are still in. They're so classic you never know if they'll go out of style. I like the fit, the fabric, and the color of this top from PinkIce.

 Retro/ vintage/ modern...this top boasts a peplum bottom, a bow print, and a keyhole back. I love it with knee-length pencil skirts or dress pants. Right now it's on sale for $12.99, check it out here.

 Windsor's black mock neck business dress is ideal for long, lean figured ladies. Show off your tiny waist and let this dress create curves. ...

 I particularly like the how the back keyhole ties with a bow.

From Lulu's, the deep wine burgundy color adds an extra touch of classiness to the cinched waist and sheer polka dot detail. If you have a breathe-taking curvy figure, this dress will show it off. If you don't, this dress will create it for you! Check it out here.

 Another peterpan style collar! I like the vintage appeal of this dress, its perfectly matching belt, and the A-line shape. Wear this plyanna pleated dress when you want to look classically girly.

Lighter, Brighter Tops

Here are some lighter, brighter, happier tops that caught my attention.

This one from Charlotte Russe is a goddess type, flowy top that will flattering shape any figure. I love that the back has the same low v-neck as the front.

Great for going out to eat in the cooler weather, this Charlotte Russe top makes you sparkle and shine, but manages to hide any bloating.

Details, details, details! The wide sleeves and thick straps make this Charlotte Russe piece unbelievably comfy. I'm a fan of the sweet color and girly detail on the side, it makes it look like you put in more effort.

My favorite. Period. This collared button-down top is from Pink Ice. On top of a cute floral print and side ruching, it boasts a corset-inspired lace-up back that I can't enough of.

Here's how I wear it.

...And to end with a touch of lace, I chose to include one more Charlotte Russe top. Its cold shoulder style is fun, the lace is flirty, and the flowy hem is comfy. It can be dressed up with accessories or a  body-con skirt and dressed down with jeans. I give this the versatility award.
