stark.

shopakira denim shirt c/o, zara shorts & shoes, old urban outfitter clutch

i really don't mean to make this color scheme a new theme on my blog, i promise some color in the next few posts.  but for now, i couldn't resist pairing this almost bleached white denim shirt with more white.  i love the starkness of white sometimes and i wished the sun was shining directly on me for more of that feel but i was a little too late trying to get out of the house.  i also thought these silver and nude shoes were perfect for this look...i even added silver jewelry which i had a hard time compiling for a look.

hope you are all enjoying your monday so far.  last friday at the drive thru at starbucks, the lady in front of me paid for my drink.  all i had was cash as i left my wallet at home so i couldn't continue the gesture onto the next car behind me.  so this morning i made sure to bring my wallet and paid for the lady behind me.  as i drove off, i watched her expression as the barista told her i paid.  felt so good to do that...i suggest you all go surprise a stranger with generosity.  it was such a nice way to start my week!



tied up.

yay got another pair of one teaspoons!  i'm addicted!  i'm sure i'm not the only one but when i get something new, i explore its possibilities by playing dress-up with it.  this pair is in a different shade from the ones in my last post.  it's more versatile and doesn't require any thought on what to pair it with so i just threw on anything i hadn't worn in a while - besides of course this grey tee.  i thought i was over this coat but with the sleeves rolled up, i'm in love with it again and its prim&proper-ness so perfect with these super casual shorts.  i don't know if my favorite part of this look are the red lips and the high ponytail or the clothes themselves.

this white vest, next to my 3 zara skorts is my favorite piece this spring/summer. i highly recommend this piece to change up any look. it gave this otherwise super casual outfit of a ribbed tank and cut-off shorts a very chic look and i can’t wait to pair it with flowy florals.

sheinside top, zara shorts, shoes c/o charlotte russe, old urban outfitter slouchy clutch

i have the black version of these shorts which i wore in a few posts back that i wear a lot, even more than my trusty levi's cutoffs.  yes, i also wear them to the grocery store and to pick up my girls from school but of course with casual tees.  they're such a staple for me this spring/summer so it was an easy decision to get this white pair too.  another spring/summer staple for me this year will be caged or lace-up sandals.  i have a few that luckily i saved from a few years back but these from charlotte russe are a nice updated version with the geometric cut-outs.  i've been wearing these with everything lately as well and been getting so much compliments.  i think i will get them in taupe as well!
