WHAT I WORE: ORIGINALS AND A SLIT DRESS

Sneakers: Adidas
Handbag: Diophy (here)

 

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

Thigh highs: UrbanOG
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.

NEW IN: ZAFUL LACE

If any of you keep up with Monica Rose’s Instagram, you have probably noticed that it. is. everything. One of my recent favorites was Kendall’s lace bra top over the white baby tee. Of course, I am a broke girl so it’s been a difficult internal battle for me. The Anine Bing bra top is pricey, and I cannot find it in me to spend that much on a sheer bra top. After almost giving up, I found an extremely affordable option on Zaful. You already know I hit that checkout button. Love it? Check out the bra top here.

#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.
