Black Metal

I've been very busy moving this past month, (and decorating the new place!) so my outfits have to be not only cute, but comfortable. Dresses are such an easy way to look put together. This one in particular is perfect for the transition between summer and autumn, when it's super humid here in Ohio. I paired it with my metal covered leather sandals by Prabal Gurung and layered my favorite necklaces and bracelets.

Oh, Mickey, You're So Fine...

This week has been a rough one for me, I had surgery last Monday followed by a lengthy visit to the emergency room a few days after. I'm still on the road to recovery, so taking photos recently hasn't been possible. In all my down time though I found these photos from earlier this summer that I never uploaded.

For this look, I wanted to play with layers that could be added/subtracted throughout the day. Much of my wardrobe is black, but here I challenged myself to keep the basis of the outfit light, neutral shades (gray, light wash denim, and white leather). I then threw on this thrifted light flannel button-down. Thrift stores/second-hand stores will always have a wide variety of these in every color and pattern imaginable so there really is no reason to spend much on these. I picked up this one for less than $5! And it's perfect because this "blocked" pattern has been showing up everywhere this season.
