Low key obsessed with this tie-dye romper from Tobi. Okay, let's be real, I'm in love.




The slightly faded tie-dye color is a bit less bold, making it more wearable. It was the perfect amount of color for me as I do not typically wear tie-dye pieces. And in the form of a romper? It was a match out of a fairy tale.




I toned the outfit down a bit with a neutral cardigan and classic white chucks. And my Kate Spade clutch matched oh, so perfectly. 


Though I am short (5'2") and small-chested (no, I'm not listing my bra size,) I have a little junk in the trunk so I decided to go with a size medium. Even though the straps were adjustable, the romper still hung open just a little too much for my taste. So, I connected the straps together in the back to make it a little tighter fit. 



The green ribbon magic snap thing that matched ridiculously well was just laying around my house but the same result can come from a safety pin or even a paper clip.



I added yet another pop of color with teal eye shadow on my lower lash line. 


So, there is a little bit of a story with this romper. 

I stumbled upon it as I was searching for my birthday outfits and fell in love with it along with their Fiona's Flowy Romper (As seen in my "Feelin' 22" post!) When I received my order in the mail, it accidentally included two Fiona's Flowy Rompers. It would not have been a big deal if I hadn't planned to wear the tie-dye romper to an event just a few days later. I knew it would most likely take several days to send the extra romper back to Tobi, have them process the order, and then eventually send me the missing item. 

I sent them an email (they did not have a phone number) expressing my irritation with the mistake and how much of an inconvenience it was. To my surprise, a representative responded within 20 minutes. She not only apologized for the error, but she also assured me she would overnight my missing romper before even receiving the extra one I had in my possession. If that wasn't enough, she gave me a 50% off coupon code on my next order for my troubles.

Can you say AMAZING customer service?!?! 

I received the tie-dye romper immediately and was extremely pleased with Tobi and their pieces. They offer tons of discount codes all the time on their website and Instagram but you can always use the code "TOBI50" on your first order and receive 50% off your purchase! 

I heart Tobi. For realz.

Getting some serious 50's vibes from this skirt and I love it!


I had been looking for a midi skirt for a while now and I stumbled upon this semi-sheer gingham one from Century 21 in New York. Century 21 is a great way to find designer labels for a much lower price. It is a must-stop every time I visit the city. 



I paired the skirt with a sheer sleeveless blue button down from H&M. I added a little shape by tying the bottom of the shirt, making it slightly cropped above the high-waisted skirt.


As for accessories, I added nude strappy sandal by Naturalizer (stylish and comfy!) and this adorable Kate Spade bow clutch. 


We took these photos at a local restaurant named Pumpkin Hill Bistro after having the most delicious meal of chicken and waffles that I have ever had. If you are ever in the area, definitely try their sangria, it is to DIE for!


Until next time!

This summer, I fell in love with these printed pants from H&M. I wore them non-stop with white and black crop tops but my favorite piece to pair with them was this periwinkle cropped sweater.


I found this sweater on a whim on the clearance rack also at H&M for only $7. 
The color matches the pants perfectly and the cropped style goes well with the slightly high-waisted pants.



I added some gold accents to the look with these amazing earrings from Rockbox (which I will elaborate on in a later blog post!) and gold flip flops.


This outfit was definitely on repeat this summer because of its comfort and trendy look. 
What was your favorite go-to ensemble this season? Let me know in the comments below!

So since I can't seem to stop wearing my Taylor Swift concert t-shirt, I figured I would share three looks with one t-shirt. (I swear I wash it.)


First up, is a dressy look. I tucked the tee into a high-waisted black skirt which tied into the black trim on the collar and sleeves. 


I found this Philosophy jacket at a secondhand store with the tags still on it. Scored this $100 piece for only $20 dollars. You never know what surprises you can find in thrift stores if you look hard enough. I really liked the way the color of the jacket paired with the color of Taylor's shirt on her album cover.



I love pairing nude with pastels so I styled this look with simple nude sandals. 




Dressing up t-shirts is one of my favorite ways to wear them. It's so simple to take an otherwise plain t-shirt and make it a more chic ensemble with a skirt, an elegant jacket, and some heels. 


Next up is a little bit of an edgier look.


Here, I paired the tee with a leather jacket and shorts. I always get compliments on these shorts and they were a steal at about $20 from Century 21. 


I then added a statement necklace for a little bit more flare. This one is my Dylanlex lookalike from Urban Outfitters. I am obsessed with statement necklaces like these and I was so happy to find a version for under $100. 



I finished off the look with some sandals from Just Fab. 



For the last look, I went with a more casual vibe.


I will definitely be wearing this look in the fall. It is extremely comfy and the white converse are a great way to transition outfits from summer to fall. 



This was by far the most fun I have ever had in a shoot. 
You are never too old for a good slide.



This look is so easy to put together. Just grab a chambray shirt, some leggings, a beanie, and some converse and you're all set.


And a swing set, of course.
