Life is like a box of crayons

Gap cardigan, Unknown top, Express jeans, Nine West wedges, Philip Persio leather watch

This top defines me in color and shape.  It's vibrant, complimentary to my skin tone, feminine, flowing, and can be worn dressy or casual. If I have to choose one top that I have worn way more than it was even worth, it would be this one. I don't even know what store in the mall I found it at. It was probably some small boutique. This classic grey cardigan is so simple but a great piece to look more professional and put together. I think it goes well with this leather watch. I am seriously obsessed with leather watches (especially on men). This vintage one from American Apparel  has pretty much become one with me as I have not removed it since the day I bought it. The jeans from Express have been a part of my wardrobe for a long time. they are a great casual jean and are a little on the longer side and so they work best with heels. Considering most of my heels are from Aldo, it is surprising that my most worn and comfortable pair are these wedges from Nine West. I have actually been wearing these wedges to work almost everyday of the week. Maybe it is time to invest in another pair of wedges?

Not Another Wall Flower

 Express sweater, Target Mossimo scarf, Paige denim jeans, American Apparel Philip Persio watch, Etienne Aigner 'Gilbert' boots

I am in love with this scarf as it catches your attention right away. Beautiful colors that make it very wearable with many different outfits. I would normally wear it with a more subtle black top but on this mesh knit sweater from Express it seems to be more loud. I love these dark wash jeans by Paige because they are much more professional and give a polished look compared to my other washed out and faded jeans. A great addition to my now more "adult" closet. I've also added to my watch collection with this simple and clean black leather Men's vintage watch from American Apparel. However, I can't say that I instantly loved my new Etienne Aigner boots. I bought them online at SlimCalfboot.com and had them custom made for my slimmer calves and they turned out a little too tight. The store provided me great customer service and stretched out the boot for me once again so that I could wear them more comfortably. They are a very nice classic riding boot with the logo printed along the shaft and the darker leather is great for the fall and winter time. A great quality boot overall.

Eyelet/ Carolina Blue

On Meena: Nordstrom top, Forever 21 skirt, Aldo heels, Michael Kors watch, Coach crossbody

On Crystal: American Apparel cardigan and high-waisted shorts, Brass Plum belt, sunglasses

I love this flowy sheer top with the eyelet detail around the neckline. It seems to make any outfit more feminine and dressy. I paired the looser top with a tighter bottom. I usually wear the skirt high waisted but I like this top to be flowy. The heels are brown so they almost work as nude heels for me and I’ve been obsessed with cutouts for a long time now so these have definitely been my go to heels for the summer. We had people watching us model our outfits this time in downtown mountain view. One guy even decided he would offer us posing tips, so we smiled and walked away.

We were racing the sun in this shoot haha. There wasn't that much light coming in so these photos are really blurry.. we're thinking about investing in a decent camera so please let us know if you have any recommendations!

On the Other Side/ Colorblock

On Meena: H&M blouse, American Apparel skirt, Target belt, Aldo heels, Casio watch

On Crystal: Francesca's Collection dress, Nordstrom scarf, Macy's sandals

Hi everyone! We're so excited for our first blog post and we found this awesome spot right by where we live. Meena's outfit is very soft and flowy in earthy colors. We had perfect timing with the sunset and a lot of beginners luck. I decided to go with a colorful look for the summertime, and I always like to pair my outfits with a bold and eclectic purse, scarf, or hairpiece.
