Daria's Summer Uniform

This is honestly all I want to wear this summer. Denim shorts and a white flowy top seem très effortless, comfortable, and chic for a simple day out. The shoes and bag that I found on http://www.polyvore.com are similar to ones I have. Both are really convenient; I feel like I can walk forever in the flat shoes, and the backpack/bag is stylish while serving utility needs as well. 

During the summer, one can't really be bothered with tons of makeup, in fear of it all just melting off your face. Sometimes less is more. A quick sweep of bronzer and mascara, some concealer to hide my dark under-eye circles that managed to stay with me past the school year (Sigh.) Add in a touch of tinted lip balm, and it's all good enough for me on a day-to-day basis if I feel like wearing make-up.

I love long necklaces with pendants, so I just had to include that. Crop tops are also great for the summer, especially paired with high waisted anything. I recently got a really cheap one, (haul coming soon!) so I threw it in this mix because it's something I can't wait to wear.

Woah, sorry for all the writing. I just figured out how to use http://www.polyvore.com and got kind of excited. (Yes I realize, I'm super late on the craze.) Anyway, I'm hoping to be able to post more because it's summer, so see you soon!

 Sorry, this is so delayed! At least now it's summer, and we can all breathe for a moment and relax.

This outfit seems simple and comfy to me. I feel like the touch of color on my lips works well with the tiger face. I LOVE this dress! It's totally going to be my slacker, go-to outfit. This is from our photo-shoot a while back, but I wore this outfit to school practically the next day.

Behind the Scenes:

Back to Beige and Black

 Hello! This is just a quick post showing what I wore to school today. I always love the outfits with no color to them, because if done the right way, they can have such an refined look to them. I went with a theme of black and beige/gold in this outfit and kept it fairly minimal, except for of course the spiky gold statement necklace (one of my favorites!)

Top- Forever 21, Necklace and shoes- H&M, Pants- T.J.Maxx

 

Holiday, Oh Holiday!

It's not often that we get to hang out together and have a photo shoot like this! Mixing and matching clothes was in part inventive creativity and in part an expressive outlet for all of us.

Pictures were taken in the awful awful rain with many towels, umbrellas, and frantic swinging of thee arms.

These aren't all the outfits cause we didn't want to leak them all at once. That would be no fun

Enjoy!

Feelin Retro

Sweater-T.J. Maxx, Body Con Skirt-Forever 21,  Boots- Target

It's funny how things come back in style,  even after decades. The sweater is totally giving me a 70's and 80's vibe. The color scheme, especially the bright, burnt orange, seems like something you could find in the 70's. The shape of the sweater is baggy, and makes me feel like I should be in an 80's movie with neon leg warmers, leggings and my hair in a high ponytail. Combat boots were part of the whole grunge scene happening in the 90's, but they have definitely been back these last few years.

Decade throwback aside, throwing on an interesting sweater or shirt over a body con skirt, with some statement jewelry, can always look cool and effortless, if you can't find something to wear that morning.
