DVF + Denim

Jean Jacket Heritage 1981 | Wrap Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | White Crossbody Bag Coach | Flats Christian Louboutin | Sunglasses Tory Burch | Necklace Forever 21Lately I have been wearing these Tory Burch sunglasses a lot, and it is primarily because it has been sunny, and because they are so versatile. I usually purchase black shades, but I might need to purchase so more brown ones!
I had my New Employee Orientation today, despite no longer being a new employee, and I learned a lot about benefits and retirement. It felt almost too grown up for me. I can’t believe sometimes that I am an “adult” and have to think about the future in that way. It is finals week on campus, and I feel like my mind should be more focused on that and as if I should be studying for a test or writing a paper. I’m glad I don’t have to do anything like that, but I know I should be doing something productive like job hunting or working on my resume. That and working on my photography and Adobe skills. I wish there was more time in the day, butI just need to stop getting addicted to shows on TV.
Anyways, thought this looks worked for the super nice weather we had today. It’s finally beginning to feel like Spring decided to stay!

Despite it being the weekend, I feel like I did not rest up enough in order to better handle the coming work week. I did have fun and was able to relax, but maybe because of all this sun I am ok with lying down and sleeping somewhere.
I did have fun getting dressed today, and I like the mixture of high and low end pieces. My favorite outfits usually consist of a variety of brands and designers in one look because it is more unique and you would not have to worry about running into someone else wearing the exact same thing. I am a huge fan of this top and is the second time it is featured. I would have repeated this top sooner had the weather been nicer. I love the mix of gold and white, and if I could, I would wear whites or white and gold all the time.

Cinco de Mayo

It was the perfect day to wear a colorful maxi dress and get some frozen yogurt from Yogurt Land.
This dress received a lot of compliments, and I think it has to be because of how dramatic it is. This is my first maxi dress I purchased last month, and I found it at a Goodwill, so I didn’t spend too much to try out the trend. I honestly believed it would not flatter me because I am so short (5′ 2″), but I am so glad to be proven wrong! I paired it with a denim jacket (also courtesy of Goodwill) and my seashell belt from Crossroads Trading Co.
Thrift stores can be a hit or miss. Some days I find really great stuff (as seen here) and other times I find nothing I like. I cannot wait to see what other stuff I will find to post here soon.

New Camera

Posted on April 30, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Bow Print White Top and Black Pants Forever 21 | Grey Heaven Flats Steve Madden | Sunglasses Ray BansIt has been such a fun weekend! I had not been to the flea market with my family since I was 4, and I was really happy despite the heat. We went to the flea market located in San Jose, and after walking around I realized I was missing a wide sun hat, shorts, and sandals. At one pint I realized wearing a dress might have been more comfortable because of the heat.
We found a couple of neat items when entering in. I found a nifty picnic basket with utensils and room for food in like new condition for $5! Now I just need a day to go on a picnic! We also found a cute black wire wine rack in the shape of a fish. Our total spent was $9. So many goodies to see, but we limited our purchases to just that.
Also, my photo today was taken with my new camera! A Canon T2i DSLR. While this pose is not the best since it was not taken by my usual photographer (Dad instead of my sister), I am excited to be bringing better quality photos to this blog. My other goal would be to go back and retake a few of the photos from previous posts, but we’ll see if I have time.

Some days I wake up knowing exactly what to wear, but I love days like today where I have no clue and discover something I had forgotten about in my closet and pull together a new look. This tunic was something I found once again at Crossroads Trading Co, and now that I am out of hangers I had it hiding under a Marc Jacobs Coat. I loved the navy and raspberry pink colors on this and could not help noticing it while digging around my closet. I tried it on and then realized it needed to be belted. The obi belt is one I have had since high school, and I believe today is the first time I have worn it. Some things should just never be thrown away because you never know when you might be able to find a perfect match for it.

Changes are a coming! I have changed my blog around by adding past articles, and intend to add more samples of writing. Lately I have not had time to really write about my day, or the stories behind my clothes, and have only been able to post the photos of an outfit. It has been about 3 months since my first post, and I am very proud of the fact that I have been able to be consistent in terms of when I add a new post and made it a habit. While a lot of the things I started off with have changed, my goal has remained the same. I am trying to improve my writing, and share my personal style.
Today’s outfit is a little plain, and the coat is actually one thing my sister was letting go of during our spring cleaning. I immediately snatched it up knowing it would be a great basic that could go with many things. I love how it has just the right amount of volume, and the zipper detail by the pocket is kind of edgy. My favorite part of the outfit, however, is the umbrella. I like how Coach factory stores have umbrellas for like $30 and allow for one to own a bit of luxury at an affordable price (compared to their purses). The Coach purse I have on me is actually another item cleaned out of my mom’s closet, and all I could day is score! I will definitely be utilizing it with the coming spring weather. My own cleaning is still a work in progress, but I am also on a really tight budget in order to save up for a new camera, luggage, and travel money for the summer. I just have to be more creative with what I have, and very strict about what comes in my closet. And while it might sound daunting, that is actually a fun challenge I have eagerly accepted!
