What I Wore: Sweet Heart

You know how I love a good happy outfit to turn my frowns upside down, and this one is just perfect. The second I put it on and tried to think of a good and fun shoot for it, I couldn’t help but grab the bubbles and tie my hair in pigtails. It was just screaming for it. Every now and then, I think it’s perfectly OK to act childish. Alright, so I pretty much think this is OK every day. Life is too short to take so seriously, would you not agree?

ps; I think I may be completely obsessed with Revlon’s lip butters. Have you tried them?

What I Wore: Mellow Yellow

Although I live in one of the most humid and sticky places in the US, I have a hard time rocking shorts. I’m just not a huge fan, but find them a necessity to my wardrobe due to our weather. To make them a little more desirable, I decided to stock up on fun summer colors. I was lucky to find a killer sale at the Gap outlet a couple of weeks ago on just that, and these were one of my take aways! Aren’t they a fun and sunshine-y shade of yellow?

What I Wore: Stripes! Color!

I love me some color, and I love me some affordable clothes. So needless to say, I had to buy something with my discount for joining the Sheinside site. I loved one dress in particular that was being advertised by what I imagine to be a fashion blogger. It was a cute and colorful striped dress that just screamed summer to me, so naturally I had to have it. I should have known it would fit me like more of a tunic top than a shirt dress – blame these Cuban hips. However, despite the too-short-ness (love making up words), it’s still absolutely adorable. I think I like wearing such bright colors because it is nearly impossible to be in or stay in a bad mood when you are wearing something so vibrant and fun. It’s like wearing happy, and who doesn’t want that?

What I Wore: Go Jane Wedges

With weddings comes a lot of events, which means a lot of outfits! This can get pretty painful on your wallet pretty quickly, but that’s where budget shopping comes into play! This outfit, which is totally one of my new favorites, was under $60! My absolute favorite part of it were the shoes (big surprise). I don’t know if you all remember, but I had have a slight obsession with these Aldo wedges. I wanted them in every color, but with their current price tag, I would be lucky if I could swing one. That is, until I saw these super similar ones at GoJane.com for a quarter of the price! They come in a wide array of fun summer colors as well, and are very comfortable. Take it from me: I was wearing them for 12+ hours this day and I didn’t want to saw my feet off (always an accomplishment).

What I Wore: Rock ‘n Roll Lifestyle

Welcome to Miami summers: humid, disgusting and bright. I’m pretty sure the morning these photos were taken, there was hail. Unless, of course, I was having some twisted nightmare. So, naturally, it was a great idea to rock the full on black rockstar look. I’m a Miami native, so I can handle it, but I’m pretty sure the hubs was ready to go on strike!

I channeled my inner Alison Mosshart (I want to be her when I grow up) and played the part of the tortured and cool rockstar. Did I pull it off?
