Obsession.

So I've felt a little blah with my wardrobe lately, as if I've worn everything so many times that its boring. If I could I would go shopping and just buy a whole new wardrobe brand spankin' new, but I have to live my life and don't have the spare change (although I did just get a new job, yay!). Anyways, I've really been loving plain things with cool silhouettes and textures and shapes etc.
All I want is to layer silhouettes and textures on top of each other and finish it off with a cool black bootie. Until my next post, Elyse.

Grey Summer

Today my sister wanted my help to boost her wardrobe and make her a bit more stylish. I knew the types of things that would work perfectly for her and when I picked them out for her at the store, she hated them. Heres the thing though, they were basics. I pulled out a crochet cardigan (similar to the one I am obsessed with) and she made the most disgusted face I've ever seen. Then I pulled out a basic black and white striped skater style dress and she said it was ugly....I think she's a lost cause. 
While her style venture was less than successful, I really liked what I wore today. I haven't put this boxy tee on in awhile and this cheetah print purse was begging to be worn outside, so I threw them on! Super basic and simple, but I loved it anyways! Until my next post, Elyse.

Back to Basics

My weekends have become days to  lay around and wait for my shift at work to begin. Since I didn't start until the evening I asked my mom if we could do something today. I really just wanted to go thrifting, but I left it open for interpretation so that way she'd be happier doing what she wanted than what I wanted. So we went and checked out a little shopping center we've never been to and I got a couple of really cute things that I'm sure I'll style very soon. 
This is the outfit I shopped in. I've been very into basics lately so I thought I'd pair this tank shorts that I've never worn before with the crochet cardigan I'm currently living in. I just love how slouchy and comfy it is!

p.s. I'm working on a better background for pictures. I wish I just had a photographer boyfriend or best friend to take pictures of me, but until then its just me, my tripod, and my camera on self-timer.

Floral Pants.

Here is an actual OOTD post, only a month after the last one! I went home this past weekend since I had four days off. My parents moved from our house of eleven years to this new abode forty-five minutes from my hometown. Its kind of weird to think that I no longer will be where I grew up, but I'm always up for a new adventure! 

I've really been going towards plain outfits lately, I have no clue why. I can't really decide if I like it or not either. But anyways, here is my outfit for a day of unpacking and relaxing. Have wonderful rest of your week! Until my next post, Elyse.

neutral love.

Since I've been in college my love for style and fashion has exploded. Why? I have absolutely no idea. My favorite things for fall and even winter are neutrals. To me, neutrals are grey, white, black, deep red, khaki, army green, and brown. The following outfits are things I would love to be caught wearing in these neutral colors. Until my next post, Elyse.
