Dark Summer

Hello Style Minds!! I know, I didn’t keep my promise AT ALL about posting every Monday/Tuesday. Running a blog is a little harder than I thought, BUT, I am not giving up just yet. I don’t want to think about this blog as a chore, I want to be able to enjoy sharing outfits and any other ideas. So I don’t promise posting very often, but I promise not to fall of the face of the Earth. Another reason that I didn’t post often is because I actually did go out this much during this summer, and most of my outfits were pretty basic (Maybe I’ll make a post on that? I don’t know).

Here is an outfit I through together this past weekend, and it was definitely one of my favorites to have put together.

Hat: From my Cousin (Urban Outfiters)

Top: From my Cousin (Rue 21)

Shorts: Charlotte Russe 

Knee Socks: Walmart

Shoes: Old Navy

Watch: From my Mom

So as I’ve said time and time again, I’m not a fan of bright colors and I don’t plan on conforming anytime soon. Plus, dark colors just seem to suit me better. I know with the hot weather dark colors isn’t the most ideal thing, but the way I compensate is just the type of pieces I wear.

I am totally in love with this crop top my cousin gave me. The print fits the summer theme but it has the color choice that I love. I’m pretty weary about my midrifft, so pairing high-wasited shorts is an excellent way to go! If you don’t like showing so much leg, wearing a pair of knee socks gives you a more cute and chic edge to the outfit. If I’m out for long hours and walking a lot, I love wearing my ankle boots. They’re comfortable and gives me an extra half inch of height. 

I hope everyone’s summer went splendidly! Sadly, vacation is about to end and school is about to begin again. The only thing I love about this time of year is that the weather will start cooling down soon! Making it so much easier to create outfits within my wardrobe. Whether you’re starting high school or college or just returning, I hope your school year goes well!

Until the next chapter!
