WHAT I WORE: ORIGINALS AND A SLIT DRESS

Sneakers: Adidas

So I finally got my hands on the Adidas superstars, literally at half the original price. I’ve been pairing them with just about everything: jeans, shorts, and dresses. I posted a while back about how much I like slits, and this time is no different. First off, I love the color grey. Grey is still a safe color for me, because it doesn’t draw much attention and it’s neutral. Its not white, and it’s not black, it’s just right. I took a sporty approach, but you can easily throw on some single strap heels and a black clutch for an evening out. If this little number isn’t for you, you can look through more dresses here!

WHAT I WORE: BABY TEE AND LACE UP SHORTS

Denim Jacket: Forever 21

 

A couple of weeks back I had told one of my besties that I wanted lace up shorts, but I never found a pair that fit well. So of course AKIRA came into the picture with this pair that I had to have. I like that they can be paired with alot of simple tops, like a band tee or a baby tee. Not only that, but if you want to dress it up, you can wear it Kendall Jenner at Coachella style with a lace bra top. I’m petite, but my booty needs room, so I was so glad that the sizing was perfect. I went with a size small after contemplating between a small and medium. Shop the shorts here, or look through new arrivals here! Next I want to talk about the baby tee, which is literally…a baby tee.

So, how can you possibly get away with wearing a kids tee? Very simple.

  1. I picked this one up for $2 dollars at Forever 21 in the kids section, and you can too.
  2. Because kids have their own sizing: 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, and 11/12, it would be best to just try them on. (because I am small ontop, a 5/6 fit me perfectly.)
  3. There’s no rules. If you want to wear a kids tee, wear a kids tee. Its about how you rock it.

The true definition of a baby tee, would be Rumi Neely’s version, which you’ve undoubtedly seen all over her Instagram. This kids tee is a bit longer than the AYAI baby tees, but in reality, you don’t have to spend $79 on it. Let me tell you how. Quick DIY ladies: Buy the kids tee at forever 21, and in order to achieve the AYAI baby tee raw hem JUST CUT IT. I actually just got the idea as I was typing this, so I’ll be doing it myself soon.

#BROKEGIRLSWISHLIST 1

Sheer tint sunglasses have caught my eye recently, and I even attempted to buy a pair (check out my last post), but to my disappointment, they were more of a reflective lens. I’ve been drooling over the Gentle Monster X Kong Hyo Jin frames, and the tints are to die for! I was leaning towards the babyblue and pink tint, but they sold out. My hunt continues…

If you’ve never heard of Gentle Monster, I suggest you browse the site immediately. It’s a Korean eyewear label, and I couldn’t be more obsessed. Speaking of Korea, I’ve been inspired by their fashion sense, music, and creativity. I need to take a trip to Seoul ASAP. Also, I’ve joined Pinterest, so if you’re interested in keeping up with all black looks, hair inspo, home decor, and Korean fashion, click here.

WHAT I WORE: GREY & BACKLESS

And here I go again with another bodysuit, because I can’t seem to get over how convenient they are. This new piece is different from the rest of my collection, simply because it’s grey and it has some interesting details. It’s the small details that catch my eye, and this bodysuit has numerous of them: it’s backless,  has a plunging neckline, and has shoulder ties. In my opinion, every girl needs a bodysuit or two, and if you don’t own any now would be a good time to start trying them out. As you’ve seen in previous posts, my go-to handbags are from Diophy and this one is no different. The tassels on this bag are so thick that it gives character to an entire outfit (thank god because although I love all black, I bore myself sometimes). I don’t own anything like this, so I’m definitely excited to wear it out this summer. Speaking of summer, I’m petrified of the heatwaves that will be hitting Texas this year. How we survive 102 degrees is beyond me. Is that even habitable?
