repeat offender

8/4/15

I am being a repeat offender in this romper but who honestly has enough money to blog completly new pieces in each post, and I love this romper so I am going to wear it as many times as I please. (see last post here)

A simple black romper is a staple - it can be dressed up or down and can also be worn multiple times in a week without anyone noticing because it is that understated. I wore this romper before with a olive vest over it and have worn it multiple times (not pictured here on the blog) with a denim jacket, under a light sweater, and topped with a white chiffon vest. The versatility of this romper is 100% and I should have probably purchased two because by the end of the summer it will probably be faded or worn out from wearing it so much.

Im not normally into a harsh red plaid print but this shirt was something different and sometimes we all need something different. I am pretty tall so it will be much longer on someone with a more petite frame but I loved that tying the front gave it a perfectly undone vibe! I also love it over jeans and will be great with a long cardigan and leggings when the weather cools down. My number one rule when buying something is "can I wear this at least two ways", this shirt made the cut and although it probably will not get much use its fun!

My apartment search has been equally as miserable as the last post and I am on the verge of giving up and living in my car... I just have to figure out where to fit all my clothes (and my shoes).

lace shorts & olive shirt

7/27/15

I purchased these shorts as soon as spring started and have not worn them until this past week. I was going to get them altered to have the perfect fit but I am a procrasinator and there is only a month left of summer so I will suck it up and continue to pull these up each time I wear them. I am starting to think that I should accually stop shopping...

That will never happen, but I am thinking about it so that is a start.

I have such a strange habit of saving items of clothing - this needs to stop. At the end of each season I end up with too many items never worn with the tags still attached (how sad is that). While these clothes sadly hand in my closet untouched I continue to purchase more and more items witch amounts to even more unworn pieces. Whatever I can return I do - but there is a good amount I endup sitting on until I give it away or donate it.

This past week I finally starting posting my lightly used or unworn items on the app Polyvore! Two pairs or shoes already sold and it is such a relief to get rid of some of the items that I wore one or two times! If you do not already have the app sign up with the code HPUEG to receive a free $5 credit!

happy shopping & selling,

basic black romper

7/8/15

romper - Express | vest - Old Navy | shoes - Old Navy | clutch - Marshalls | earrings - Charming Charlies

The summer is in full swing, sadly I have come to realize that there is no such thing as summer vacation and now that I have bills I do have to work and can not spend every weekend at the beach. I try to fill my days off with some sort of summer activity (it almost always has to do with the beach, or someones pool). Having a work life balance is important (and much harder than it seems). As I get older the amount of free time I have diminishes before my eyes. There are seven days in a week, five out of the seven days of the week are spend working and the other two days are usually filled with errands. As my mother would say, "that's life".

As much as I enjoy growing up I would enjoy a nice 3 month summer vacation - but that is not going to happen (unless I win the lottery, or somehow find away to marry into the royal family). I tell myself the harder I work the more likely I will be able to have ample free time in the future, and as long as I keep telling myself that I will make it through these grueling work weeks!

Okay... if you have not yet found a romper this one is a necessity by far. My legs are pretty long so most rompers are wayyyyy to short! I do not need my ass hanging out so I usually refrain from purchasing them - this is one that I had to have! It works great with layers. I have worn it probably once a week for the past six weeks. I wish I was wearing it now but it is in the wash so I will have to wait until tomorrow.

I have had this olive vest for over a year and it never fails me. Olive is a key color in my wardrobe because it works with almost every color and every season. I need layers no matter what time of year and vests are the best option for summer! The shoes - Old Navy of course (no I am not sponsored by them) I just keep finding the best items there. I have been in love with lace up anything so these sandals were a must.

and now I'm off to work,
