Finally got the maxi skirt that I have been wanting. It fits perfectly too so I am pleased! Since this was the first time wearing this skirt, I wasn't too daring with what I paired it with. I thought that the basic white v-neck was a good place to start, but I am definitely excited about pairing this skirt with some different pieces and dressing it up and down.
Also, yes, I am well aware of my forever 21 addiction. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step.

update finally! I'm not abandoning my blog!

Wow! I'm not letting this blog go, but unfortunately my photographer (boyfriend) has been out of town for the past few weeks. Luckily, he will be back soon and I will be back posting outfits and what not, which is what I really like doing. Also, I have some new clothes (because I am a hopeless shopping addict) that I am very excited about displaying on chicorsomething. In the meantime, I am really into the long a flowy stuff that seems to be popular lately. I have yet to purchase anything of this style, but I am currently working on finding some things that I really like that are also in my price range. Here are some items that I've been looking at lately that I really like.

 

I figured I would start with my favorite, which also happens to be the most expensive! This the UNIF Leopard Dream Maxi Dress which can be purchased at NASTY GAL.

These are the Fawcett Fights Back Black Wide Leg Pants from LuLu's.

This is the Irish Moorlands Pleated Green Maxi Skirt also from LuLu's.

This is the Volcom To The Floor Maxi Skirt from PacSun. 

Being a small girl of only 5'3" I have always been intimidated by full length items, but they are just too darn chic to ignore any longer. What do you guys think of this style? Sorry about the blogging hiatus, but do not fear because I will be making my comeback VERY soon! Hope you all enjoy this post!

happiness hit her like a train on a track

So if you're like me, you have more t-shirts than you could possibly have a need for. Most of them are worn to bed or to the gym, but there are those few that you know in your heart could be fabulous if worn correctly. I put this together this morning and I am very pleased with how this outfit turned out.

shirt: gift from my sister ( she sure is nice!)
skirt: pac sun
shoes: forever21

Printed on this t-shirt is Vesuvius by Andy Warhol. This particular t-shirt was actually purchased by my sister in Pompeii. However, there are many t-shirts out there with Warhol prints on them so if you want one similar to this, it shouldn't be too hard to find. Just as an FYI, even though you can't really see it in the pictures, my hair is in a messy fishtail side braid. Please do let me know if you have any success styling your own t-shirts!

the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

shirt: H&M
skirt: pac sun
shoes: charlotte russe

Today, Tony and I went to the gym and played basketball for 2 hours! Let me tell you it wore me out! I'm so beat right now, I'm off so bed right after this post gets published!
I thought that this was a really unique and girly way to pull off the canvas combat boots. I also like that the skirt is sort of like running shorts material, so it's super comfortable. I've seen a lot of shirts like this one and I normally wouldn't have thought it would be something I would pick up. But it was on sale and as a shopping addict I couldn't resist at least trying it on. As soon as I put it on I started thinking of all the ways I could style it, so off to the cash register I went.
I hope you all enjoy this post! Talk to you soon!

good times bad times

shirt: forever 21
skirt: urban outfitters
shoes: target
earrings: pac sun

So I realized that A LOT of my summer wardrobe comes from pac sun. But really though their clothes just fit me right and they have some pretty reasonable prices especially when they have sales.
This week is going to be pretty light on work so I'll be able to post everyday which is good because I love taking photos and writing about different things. Talk to you all soon!

Ginseng and Honey

shirt: american apparel
skirt: a'gaci
shoes: forever 21
bandeau: random amazon vendor

Today was a very busy day! I had several meetings today to discuss what will come of the rest of my research this summer. I'm quite fond of this outfit so I posted it elsewhere as well here on my blog. My hair is in this really cool looking fall through effect french braid on both sides, but you can only see the left side. The title comes from my latest obsession with Arizona green tea with ginseng and honey. So amazing! That's all for now.

TTFN
