summer chambray

  
It was so hot outside today and I would have loved to not wear the chambray shirt over my tank top, but it wasn't and option because my bra was showing in the back and that's not cute. Surprisingly, this wasn't too hot of an outfit. I love chambray shirts because you can wear them over dresses too and to me its like a more casual version of a jean jacket if you could imagine anything more casual than a jean jacket.

Tomorrow is Friday! Hope everyone has a great weekend because tomorrow is my Monday -_-

the 'boyfriend shirt'

 

{ shirt:Tommy Hilfiger | shoes:similar }

 

So I didn't list where the jeans are from because any jeans will do, but these are from Wet Seal like 2 years ago. I was lacking in creativity today so I decided to go with the classic oversized white button down, aka, the 'boyfriend shirt.' It's pretty much appropriate for every situation...whatever.

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend !

I've been trying to figure out if I actually like this shirt for a while now. Then I realized that I love it and the only reason I haven't worn it is because I was afraid that other people wouldn't like it. I feel like lately when I've been picking outfits for this blog, I've been fighting with myself about what I like to wear and what I think other people would like to see. So bottom line, do things for yourself!

 

On to the outfit! I've been trying to figure out what to wear this with because it's borderline childish. I feel like the way I paired it makes it look super summer-y. I bought these wedges more than a year ago and this is my first time wearing them. And I actually wore them all day. Super comfy.

 

I will post the links later and I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!  <3

going home

I went home to my parents house this week to meet up with my best friend, Sam! I really love using models for two reason: I love being the photographer and I can get poses and angles that Brent just doesn't understand (sorry, babe) and I can feature styles that I love but cannot pull off. Sam and I were limited on clothing since it was a little spur of the moment photo shoot and we were only there for a day so we didn't pack much. This is so simple but such a good way to change a plain sundress and a plain sweater. I really love this outfit mostly because it WAS so random and I feel like I make my best creations when I just throw stuff together. This is perfect for a cool summer night (jk, Florida) and would even be super cute with great sandals. Enjoy :-)

 

Sidenote- If anyone who reads this blog genuinely likes it, it would be awesome if you could share my blog and like my Facebook page here. And to anyone who does read regularly, I love you <3

 

Have a great weekend guys. Tomorrow is my Monday...

no longer a j.crew virgin!

I am so excited that I finally went to J.Crew! I feel like I have finally crossed the threshold from regular person to real fashion blogger. They had 20% off throughout the whole store and 30% if you have a J.Crew card...uh oh. Maybe next time? I love this shirt but I'm still trying to figure out if I'm going to keep it or not. I feel like it's a little boxy? I don't know. Also, don't say anything about the leopard heels. I know I wear them a lot but in my opinion, leopard goes with everything. If you don't like it, feel free to donate to the "Simone needs a pair of neutral Steve Madden wedges."

 

It's a real thing.

i got the blues

 

I never wear too much color so this blue shirt was like wtf. For this outfit I did a day look and a night look kind of thing. For night I just added heels and left the pants unrolled and used my purse as a clutch.

 

For day time I put on my favorite sandals and turned the clutch into a cross body bag. I also rolled my jeans up for a more casual look.

rain boots

Oh, rain boots. You either love 'em or you hate 'em. I use to hate them until about 3 weeks ago when we got a lot of rain and my sandals kept getting wet in puddles and I said to myself, "Self, you need a pair of rain boots." Then on a recent trip to Target, they kind of just fell from the sky. They were the ONLY pair of rain boots Target had that just happened to be my size and just happened to be coral. Whaaaaaaat? They were only $10 but online they're full price so I'm not sure what the deal is with that. Also, If you've never tried the ankle jeans from Express, you need to. They're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn and they're the perfect length. I think they'd be flattering on anyone. The only thing that sucks is that they're those pants that get loose after you wear them so I'd suggest getting one size down. That's just me.

 

So that's my rain boot story.

 

And please excuse my ghetto umbrella.

date night

{shirt: old from Target, similar | jeans: old from Forever 21, similar | shoes: old from Target, similar | necklace: old from Forever 21, similar }

Today is Brent and I's 4 month wedding anniversary so this is what I wore out to dinner and the movies. I also want to thank Brent because he had a bad day and didn't want to take these pictures but he did and I love him for it <3 Anyway. Sorry that all of these items are old but I always try to post the most similar things so y'all can find them online. I feel like this outfit is perfect for a summer night. It's cute and easy and really comfortable. These are like the only heels I can walk in. This outfit would also look awesome with cute sandals or a blazer and different shoes. 

Happy Sunday! I worked all day so I hope you guys did something cooler.

mel#2

Here are the rest of the photos from Mel and I's photoshoot. She's beautiful and I love her. Anyway, sorry I haven't posted in almost 2 weeks! I'm in a bit of a style rut. I've been saving extra since I'm moving in October which means I haven't been buying new things which means its hard for me to ge inspired. Which is a really bad thing because I need to learn how to shop my own closet. I'll learn. And I'll be posting again soon, pinky promise! If anyone has suggestions please feel free to tell me. Love you!

cowboy booties

{ shirt:forever21 | jeans:delia*s | booties:target | scarf:nordstrom | earrings:similar, and cuter. }

 

Finally, my $10 booties from Target! I'm still not completely sure what else I can wear them with but I do know that they're cute and I love them. Like I said, I got them on sale but online they're still full price so I'm not sure what's up with that. They also have them in black. I've had these jeans forever and I rarely wear them but they were the only ones skinny enough to tuck into the boots. As you can see in the last picture that's exactly what I'm doing, lol. I love this shirt but the back is so extremely long I actually got it when Mel and I shot these photos. Oh well.

 

I'm not sure if I'm going to post an Obsession Sundae tomorrow or the last of Mel and I's photoshoot. The last look we had for her is so cute and lady-like, can't wait to share!

 Mel is the best model ever. She's my first model but I know that she's the best. I had her model for me because she can pull off things that I can't. If I wore this outfit, I would look homeless. When she does it, she looks like a super cool hipster. Sorry that I don't have the exact links to the items but that's what happens when someone brings their own clothes. I did try to pick really, really similar items though so you should be fine!
