Casually Unexpected

Casually Unexpected

 

I have been wanting to put a day look together with this thrifted blue tweed mini-skirt. 

The skirt's potential functionality inspired me. You could very easily dress it up,

 but my vision for the skirt was more of a street look. Something a bit more casual and unexpected.

I paired the mini with a pajama style top. It has a laid back fit but the black and white stripes

keep it chic. I mentioned in a previous post that a pajama style top is an effortless way to look put together. 

This look was all about contrasts from the different textures of the two pieces, the top is a thin chiffon material and the mini is tweed, to the color combo. I love how the black and white stripes work with the mixed blue of the mini. It works because blue, in my eyes, is a pop of color but pairs like a neutral.

Brighton is Bliss

Brighton is Bliss

My first Saturday in England I hopped on a train from Victoria station headed out of London and towards the coast. 

Toward to the stone pebbled beaches, candy painted shacks,

and whimsical old roads of Brighton.

If you ever get the chance to go I urge you to go! I have

 never felt so at peace. 

I wore this periwinkle and flower printed romper. 

It knots up at the front, it's loose, it's playful,

 and perfect for a day at the beach.

  

I have been trying to incorporate more "girly" pieces

 like this into my wardrobe. It can be dressed up with a pair

 of heels and layered chains or a more casual look like I

 sported with Converse.
