Taking a Day Trip
I love fun patterned tops. Case in point, take this blouse from Anthropologie. It’s called the “Skipped Beats” blouse and features fun electric red and blue coils combined with subtle nautical buttons on the sleeves and back. This top had a vintage feel to me so I paired it with some high waisted flare jeans.

Tall and Short
Girls in Asia sacrifice a lot for fashion. I went to Japan last winter and remember seeing tons of girls wearing over the knee boots with shorts or mini skirts in 40 degree weather. Sure, they had tights on, but while I sat there bundled up in my North Face down jacket, jeans, and boots, they casually walked the streets wearing nothing but skirts and heels. I love the idea of tall boots and shorts, but hate that it’s too…

Keeping it casual
For someone so prone to dropping food on themselves, I should never wear any color that comes close to white. It’s true. Most of my shirts have some stain or another. That’s why my secret is to wear dark and patterned shirts! However when I saw this Joie “Eleanor” blouse, I knew I had to have it. But I also knew that any time I ate in this, I would have to wear 3-4 bibs to protect myself. :)

Hello Polka Dots!
Somehow the Marc by Marc Jacobs line is always able to stay modern, yet vintage at the same time. This blouse has the basics of any old polka dot blouse, but with some extra details in the front. I usually don’t like big bows in the front either, but find that the polka dots on this one make it less serious.

Blushing Pinks
I saw this beautiful tulle skirt on modcloth and had to check it out. It’s so convenient that they finally started offering free shipping and returns too! I remember seeing frilly mini skirts all over Japan last winter and they always seemed so feminine and fun. Glad I could finally find one that suits my style (and isn’t ridiculously short on my 5’9″ frame).

The Laid Back Bodycon Dress
I saw this James Perse ruched dress in stores the other day and didn’t think much of it. I figured, “Eh, I’ll just try it on”. But the minute I put it on, it was like butter. James Perse is known to have super soft tanks and tees and this is no exception. It may not look like it, but it feels like you’re wearing your old college tee to work.
