Dark Yet Lovely

Hello Style Minds!

So this summer has been going by quite fast. My cousin was in town for about two weeks and she’s already leaving (so sad). I had a rough start of the week last week because the car I was using that day broke down, but all went well in the end. We went out almost every single day. Usually that would mean more outfit posts, but honestly they were all pretty simple. Thought maybe some of those outfits will appear on here, who knows? As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve bought and received a bunch of clothes. The next post will possibly be a clothing haul post! Trust me, it’s quite a haul as well.

Besides all the craziness of my cousin being here, this past Sunday was Father’s Day. I hope you all had a wonderful time. My dad has a very huge influence on my life. Besides being a silent support system for me, he’s actually the person I get most of my traits from (personality and physically). I really am my father’s daughter.

This look is probably one of my favorites so far. Almost every single piece in this outfit was actually gifted to me, but I was able to find out where each piece was from.

Hat: From Cousin (Urban Outfitters)

Dress: From my friend Dee (Forever 21)

Lace Kimono: Ross

Shoes: From Sister (Old Navy)

Lip Color: NYC Mahogany

I’ve always seen that dark vampy sort of style, but never thought I would be able to pull it off. I really wanted to try a dark lip because I never really wear lipstick in general and I absolutely love it! Will most definitely become my go-to look! Honestly though, my make-up is actually my everyday look just with the added lip color.  My black brimmed hat is becoming one of my staple pieces, I’ve literally worn it three times within one week. As always I’m sporting a dark color scheme, it’s just what looks and works best for me. The lace, fringe, and floral print are what make give this look the feminine feel. The vibe is fun loving yet dark and I absolutely love it.

City Day Out

Hello Style Minds!

I hope everyone’s summer is going well. Mine started off a bit slow but now it’s starting to pick up. My cousin is in town so of course it’s being filled with fun hang outs and, of course, shopping! I’ve gotten quite a pile of clothes that I’ve receive this weekend. On top of going to Plato’s Closet and Goodwill on Friday, my cousin actually gave me 2 pieces and a friend of mine also sent me a package of clothes. Clothing haul soon? Perhaps.

This past Sunday, my family and I had spent the entire day in the city of Atlanta. We went from Zoo Atlanta, lunch at the CNN center, and finished off at the World of Coke. Here is the outfit I wore for the day!

Hat: From Cousin

Sunglasses: Mall Kiosk

Top: Cotton On

Shorts: Plato’s Closet (American Eagle)

Shoes: Converse   

Now the weather for that day was fairly hot. The temperature was around the lower 90’s, but the humidity (Oh Georgia humidity) made if feel like it was in the mid 90’s (though it was still bearable). I spent a long time the night before trying to figure out what to wear. Of course I wanted to wear pieces that were comfortable since I would be out for a long period of time as well as walking everywhere.

I love this vertical striped top, it’s perfect for the summer time as it lets your arms breathe but doesn’t expose the upper half as much. Of course shorts are an essential to wear for the summer, and I’m glad I picked up these distressed black pair of shorts. Whenever I know I’ll be doing a lot of walking I always have the tendency to lean towards wearing a pair of converse. They’re just so simple and comfortable to walk in. To finish off the look I wore a big black brimmed hat. I always been in love with the look brimmed hats gave. This outfit shows off the urban side of my style.

What big summer plans do you guys have coming up? Going out of town? Chilling with some friends? Work? Or maybe just spending some downtime at home.

Until the next chapter!
