Even though I was MIA on my blog over the summer, I was still able to keep a record of some cute little outfits I threw together thanks to Instagram! (Images arranged from most to least recent.)


From left to right:
1. Denim top and high waisted chinos worn to church.
2. I went to a cookout and decided to keep it simple with a monochromatic black look and red lips. My mother bought this blouse for me from a garage sale. It splits open in the back. I love it!
3. My mother gave me this blouse when I was 14 and I hated it. Seven years later and I'm glad I never got rid of it.
4. Denim motorcycle jacket and lace dress.
5. The outfit I wore in my last outfit post.
6. Denim vest, peplum corset & white jeggings to give me the illusion of curves!
7. Spiked wedge booties that I treated myself to! (Not too over my budget...)
8. 20 shoes, 20 different outfits. I've worn 8 of them so far.
9. One of my favorite shirts. To all my island girls who all "di boys dem sugar"!

10. I love my hair in every state, and I have a shirt to prove it!
11. My basic camp attire. Tank top, shorts, and flats.
12. Mosaic tank and coral pants!

What I'm Wearing
Earrings: CR
Neckalce: (my sister's closet)
Cuff Braclet: Charming Charlie
Beige Blazer: Casual Corner thrifted ($3!!)
White Chain Print Blouse:thrifted (gift) (also worn here)
Red Cropped Pants: H&M ($15)
Oxford-Style Flats: Kimichi Blue (eBay $10)

Hello again everyone! After not posting at all in August, which I sincerely apologize for, I am back! And when I say I'm back, I'm REALLY back. I have so much in store for my blog it's super exciting and I can't wait to share it with you all. I'm sure you'll love it too!

I had such a GREAT summer! I'll try to cover the highlights briefly:
-I had a phenomenal time at summer camp.
-That's yarn in my hair! Isn't it cool!?
-I finally saw The Lion King on Broadway!
-I made amazing connections with amazing people.
-I went thrifting and found some WONDERFUL finds (like this blazer!). I should do a post to share those with you, huh?
-I bought something, but shh! It's a secret. I'll reveal it to you later!

One day during my week of downtime after camp ended and before school started, I was SO BORED that I decided to create 30 different outfits. No item repeats. No shoe repeats. Just 30 completely different looks. I believe this was, by far, my most fun project as well as the most convenient! Now instead of spending 30 to 45 minutes getting ready in the morning, it only takes me 10 to 15! I chose this combination as my debut outfit just because I loved it so much. What better explanation to wear what you want to wear?

Again, thank you to all who stuck around as well as those who came around! It always astonishes me when my blog gains readers while I'm absent! Stay tuned! The next post will fill you in, instagram style, on all the outfits I've worn but haven't posted!

What I'm Wearing
Lace Shirt: closet swap
Black High-Low Skirt: gift
Black Peep-Toe Block Heels: Charlotte Russe ($10)

I have a habit of going through my friends' closets to discover the treasures that they were able to get their hands one before I did. They all expect this from me because a) they do it whenever they can and b) we're all around the same size. One day, I spotted a polka dot turquoise blue hi-low maxi skirt in my friend, Roxy's closet and immediately I had hearts pump in and out of my eyes (like the cartoons).

Roxy is a saint. She said I could wear the skirt if I wanted, but she had another one (this one) that I could have because she was too short to wear it. At that point, I think I was soon to be on the verge of tears. She handed me the pleated black skirt and I danced with it like Cinderella did with the birds.

Working at camp over the summer, the only chance I get to wear something other than my staff shirt and my cargo shorts are my weekends when I actually go out. I wore this on July 4th. I won't be posting much but I'll most likely have an Instagram post in the future to show you all what you missed!

What I'm Wearing
Chandelier Earrings: ALDO ($4)
Necklace: H&M ($9)
Ring: (my sister's closet)
Cuff: F21 ($4)
Floral Tank: thrifted (gift)
Striped Maxi Dress (worn as Skirt): thrifted ($9)
Sequined Flats: Steve Madden (old)

I do this trick a lot. I have yet to purchase one maxi skirt (even though I really, really want one, I can never find the right one). So, just as I wear my dresses as tops (like I did here with my lace dress and here with my shift dress), I also wear my dresses as bottoms... this time using a maxi dress as a maxi skirt.

The thing is, this dress is a bit above my ankle when I wear it how it should be worn...making it not so maxi, so I like it better as a skirt because I can be in control of its actual length. All I do is pull it down to where I want it to be, belt it and I'm good to go. Nothing major, that way, if I ever want to wear it as a dress, I still can!

I decided to go the floral and stripes route while secretly wishing I was curvier so the stripes would accentuate my hips but, since I don't have any... hehe, I work with what I was given. :)

Oh! New hair! My cousin did it for me. She's really into hair, nails & makeup. Check out her YouTube page!

What I'm Wearing
Ivory Teardrop Earrings: ALDO
Gold Shell Necklace: (gift)
Hot Pink Polka Dot Blouse: Heritage 1981 ($??)
Teal Pants: H&M ($15)
Cream Oxfords: Crown Vintage (my sister's closet)

I'm a corn, what are you gonna do? The title of this post is my rendition of a Jay-Z throwback track that I, shamelessly, enjoy. Contrary to my title, I actually didn't cut the shoulders off... I bought the blouse just like that. Surprise! Hehehe...

I wore this outfit about a week ago to help out at the best elementary school in Albany, NY. (That's the yellow building I'm standing next to!) I wore the bralet underneath the blouse because it was a tad too sheer for a school setting, but the bralet fixed that right up!
