Summer

Denim Shirt a.n.a a new approach | Yellow Skirt  Banana Republic | Necklace via LE TOTE | Nude Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden
This is on of those outfits that I just threw on and I am very happy with how it turned out. I have heard of denim chambray shirts becoming a wardrobe staple because of how versatile it is and I feel this outfit proves just how versatile it is since it can very easily be dressed up.
I tucked it in to my yellow Banana Republic skirt in order to work with the colors of the necklace I rented from LE TOTE. As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, it is a clothing rental service that sends you 3 pieces of clothing and 2 pieces of jewelry for $49 a month. Not a bad way to try new things, especially if you are not a fan of shopping but still want to your wardrobe to be current.
This week has been extremely busy for me and I expect it to be difficult to be posting consistently. This Saturday I will be heading to Salinas to celebrate my Sister’s 21st Birthday/ Farewell Party. She is heading to Japan to study abroad for a year in September, and I will also be joining her for her first two weeks there! I am so excited and looking forward to this much needed vacation!
Sunday and Monday I’ll be in Berkeley running a booth for our office at Caltopia. My goal last year was to make this year a bigger success, and I already feel like it will be. I remember being so stressed out about running the booth for the first time and getting things ready at the last minute. This time it feels a lot less stressful, and it might be because I had the opportunity to really plan ahead.
I’ve been going to a lot of events as of late and doing my fair share of baking which you can catch on Instagram first hand. I originally didn’t know how Instagram would benefit me when it comes to blogging, but now I see it is the best way to keep up with what I am doing since I don’t post as often. Follow me @willbakeforshoes to stay updated with my daily adventures.
I will be updating you on more about my upcoming trip to Japan and anything else I forgot to mention here.
Hope you are having a good week,Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER | 

Green Laurel Vintage Print Wrap Dress Diane von Furstenberg | Nude Ulltra Patent Heels Steve Madden
Simple outfit post of a DVF wrap dress in a vintage collection print and nude pumps. The dress speaks for itself which allows me to spend the rest of this post catching you up with what I’ve been up to lately.
As you saw in my last post, I attended the LE TOTE and Bonobos event in SF. I posted the details of the event a week after my last post. While I feel somewhat delinquent for not sharing an outfit post in the middle that week, I think the time off and not posting as frequently has helped prevent me from feeling burnt out from blogging. I do write and take photos because it is fun for me and I love being creative with my wardrobe, and I would not want it to become like too much of a chore.
But with that being said , I realized have a lot to share after just a short break! For starters, I am doing a collaboration with Couture Sqd in my next outfit post. While I will explain more about what the company is in its dedicated post,  it is basically a Netflix service for clothes.  For $35, you get 4 pieces of clothing mailed to you based on your style profile with the option to buy items at a discount or ship back by a certain date. I can’t wait to share my first post with a dress I wore to work.
Over the weekend Armando and I went on two movie dates and saw Despicable Me 2 on Friday and Pacific Rim on Sunday. We celebrated our 7 year anniversary at the end of June, and the way we’ve been acting these past few weeks reminds me of our relationship when we first started dating. We would go to the movies all the time and it is my favorite date to go on with him because or very first date was to see a movie together. I try not to discuss our relationship too much aside from the fact that he is awesome, but we had such a nice date in SF for our anniversary so I expect to do a post on that soon. It will feature his outfit of the day which is pretty exciting since I rarely showcase menswear.
I should come clean and admit that my lack of posting is also attributed to Netflix and Korean Dramas. I am a huge addict since I discovered the last year and when I start watching a new series and Netflix makes it difficult to not watch 4 hours of it at a time. (I watched 12 Signs of Love and luckily it was only 16 episodes!) I do try to be productive while watching these types of dramas by listing clothes on Poshmark. Since Wednesday I’ve sold quite a few items back-to-back. This success prompted me to list more items over the weekend so make sure to check out my closet for all the latest additions for sale.
And lastly, if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I won a personal hopping trip through Boutique Stroll at Rue Atelier in Berkeley. I went shopping yesterday and I am also really excited to share a post on what I bought, who the shop owner is, and the amazing photos Armando took. 
This post turned out to be really long, but I wanted to catch you up with what’s been going on in my life before just moving on to the next event or outfit post. Hope the beginning of your week is off to a good start!
