Laid back Monday OOTD + FOTD

Outfit of the Day OOTD: Hard and Soft

Hi everyone! It has been a very long time since I did an outfit of the day (OOTD). I really loved today's outfit and thought it would be very appropriate to do a blog post on. Let me know if you would like to see more outfit posts. I went thrifting at Goodwill yesterday and picked up this adorable baggy sweater shirt that I really wanted to style today. 

My inspiration for this outfit: 

I wanted to mix edgy and soft textures and colors.
I wanted to have a loose top with tight pants and tight combat boots. 

Here's a photo of the top up close. The detailing looks like little hearts, which I thought was very Valentine's Day appropriate. 

I used the cream top with darker purple/grayish black pants/ and black boots. The top brings a freshness to the rest of the outfit. 

 I paired the soft top with this heavy, edgy chain necklace. This top could have also been paired with a scarf if you want to stay warm outside.

Top:
Goodwill
Purple top - Wet Seal

Necklace:
Rue21 on clearance

Pants:
Gap

Boots:
Shoe Encore Brand Pink and Pepper

 Here are some upclose shots of the boots. They lace up the front and have some metal detailing on the side.

Outfit of the Day: Edgy Summer Look

 Hi everyone! I know that I haven't been on here in awhile, but I am definitely still going to be posting. Today, I have an outfit of the day for you. I wanted to do an edgy look that is fun and can be worn for summer. I found these fantastic shoes at a shoe store around here. The chain strap was broken on the left shoe, but my husband knew that it would be an easy fix. Because the strap was broken, I was able to purchase these shoes for only $4! It was definitely a steal! I really wanted to incorporate the new shoes into a look, so here's what I came up with!

 

 White Shirt: Forever21
Vest: New York and Company
Shorts: Thrifted
Shoes: The brand is called Xappeal
Necklace: Given to me from my bestie in New Mexico
Watch: Charming Charlie

 

         They are sort of a cross between flats and gladiator sandals.

Not too bad for $4 shoes!

Here's a better shot of the necklace!

I took my hubby's wallet chain thing he has had forever and attached the guitar charm from my best friend and TA-DA!

Fashion: Blazers

Hi everyone! I thought today I would talk about some fashion trends that I am just in love with! I haven't done a fashion post yet, so I thought I could do that today. It's so rainy out that there's no way that I can go out today, but I can still wish I could go shopping!

Blazers:
I have been wanting to buy a really nice blazer after seeing so many on people lately. Forever 21 has so many cute ones in interesting colors.

My fashion advice on how to wear a blazer: I would recommend wearing a baggy v-neck under the blazer (I think that white would be best). You could pair the blazer with dark leggings or really fashionable skinny jeans.


This gives the blazer a more casual look that you can dress up with frilly tops for a night out (date night!).


Wet seal also has this adorable half jacket blazer in stock online. Blazer!
You can also pair a blazer and jeans with an oversized handbag. I would recommend owning a black one like this!
One from Charming Charlies - it is super adorable and can go with a variety of outfits.
I hope that you all enjoyed this post and please comment and follow me! :)
