Leopard Print Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Black Patent Pumps Steve Madden | Panda Charm Necklace Betsey Johnson | Ring Forever 21One of my favorite looks for the office has got to be wearing a wrap dress. It is very classy with its iconic silhouette, but still fashion-forward and edgy with the bright, colored pattern. This green and blue leopard print wrap dress is from DVF’s vintage collection. Love the french cuffs on this dress. Despite feeling a little under the weather, this dress helps me look my best.

Coral and Turquoise Print
Cream Blazer Silence + Noise | Printed Silk Sleeveless Peggie Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Belt VintageI | Mint Earrings Forever 21| Nude Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenI have worn this lovely little dress before when I was in Vegas (seen here). As you can see I made a few minor adjustments to be able to wear it to work. It was surprisingly warm today, and I felt I was dressed appropriately while out running errands in the sun.
This dress is very versatile and I like that it can be worn dressed down with flats or dressed up with a blazer and pumps. The print on the dress reminds me of fireworks in the summer. The blend of turquoise, red, and beige really emphasize being at beach bonfire at the end of summer and watching the fireworks illuminate the sky.
Despite the start of the summer weather, it is quickly coming to an end.

Anna Sui x Target Dress
Blue Printed Dress Anna Sui for Target | Heart Pendant Forever 21 | Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenHeaded down to Salinas to spend my birthday weekend with my family. I feel like today’s outfit is especially quirky and cute. I love the blue color, and I chose it to match the frosting of the cake my mom picked up for me.
I found this little beauty at Crossroads Trading Co. marked down. So much cheaper than when it was at Target or on Ebay. The color is so rich and the shape flatters my petite height. Anna Sui was inspired by Gossip Girl when creating this collection. I could definitely see myself wearing it walking down the streets in New York. This dress works in the winter too with black tights and black thigh high boots.

Yellow and Red

Back to dressing up again. After two days of wearing jeans, Converse, and a T-Shirt, I felt the need to put on a skirt and look a little girly.
I was inspired by fall colors, and I ended up taking my photos by a DHL delivery truck. It was an interesting coincidence to be wearing the same colors as the truck. I would never think of wearing red and yellow together, but somehow the combination works. I used the red polka-dot details in the yellow DVF top to pair it with my red high waist skirt. Black felt like a good neutral to tie the whole look together.
Tomorrow is my first day of class in the evening, and I will need to go back to wearing pants in order to stay warm. (Boo!) At least I got to show off my legs today!

Ruched Skirt
Black Jacket Forever 21 | Silk Face Print Tank Diane Von Furstenberg | Ruched Black Skirt Zac Posen for Target | Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Graffiti Print Handbag Coach PoppyI wanted to rock an edgy look for the day after straightening my hair. For some reason it curled a little in front, but it still looked like I did that on purpose.
This morning was really stressful, but luckily things were resolved by the end of lunch. Tomorrow will be even better as I plan to go to a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert! Woo Hoo! Look out for another edgy look Wednesday (unless I can post it tomorrow by some miracle).

Lace Skirt
Black Shrug, Black Lace Skirt, and Black Vintage InspiredNecklace Forever 21 | Silk Tank J.Crew | Black Patent Peep-Toe Wedges Steve Madden | Black Tote Bag Mulberry for TargetA late night post due to some cupcake making. I am experimenting with candied bacon and maple frosting.
Speaking of experiments, I got my hair cut and am trying out the fringe bangs. I think it will take some time to get used to them (and learning how to style them), but so far I have received a positive response for them. If I really don’t like it I can always pin the short hairs back. It will grow back after all.
This skirt is near and dear to my heart. I have had it since my first year at Cal, and it has served me well. In my Press tab you can see another way I wore the skirt, and it was what caught the original attention of Brittany from Work it, Berk. Take a look and see how different I looked as well! Feeling like I have grown up since then, and stopped wearing all black.
I love the other elements I mixed into today’s look as well. The J. Crew silk tank is a thrifted find and it had the original tags still attached!
