WHAT I WORE: GAMISS DENIM MINI

IMG_6444 IMG_6452 IMG_6458 IMG_6450 IMG_6461 IMG_6422DENIM MINI c/o GAMISS (here)
BUTTON UP/ FOREVER 21
HEELS/ MAKEMECHIC
BUCKLE CHOKER/ EBAY (here)

 

I love distressed denim, period. Jeans, shorts, and now skirts. This skirt from Gamiss has become my favorite because of the frayed hem. Its a minor detail but it definitely makes a difference. The beauty about denim is that you can wear it a million ways: I would switch out the button up for a black bodysuit and a biker jacket, for example. Speaking of black, I was also drawn to this skirt while browsing the site. It also has a raw hem, but the white stitching is what makes it unique in my opinion. Moving on to my buckle choker, which I bought because I really wanted the AYAI Katya Choker. I found this super ultra cheap alternative on Ebay, yeah I said it.

More from Gamiss coming soon, and it is also white. Major hint alert. Keep up with Gamiss on their Facebook and Pinterest!

WHAT I WORE: ZAFUL DRESS

HANDBAG/ DIOPHY
HEELS/ PUBLIC DESIRE

 

Back again with Zaful on today’s post! I know I don’t frequently wear colors, but this little dress caught my eye, and it caught Zuri off-guard. Off shoulder tops and dresses have been getting some hype, so I decided to try them out for myself. As you may or may not know, I am short (5’2 but my license says 5’1, whatever). because I am petite, I usually shy away from dresses that are not bodycon. I feel that my shape gets lost, so I tend to balance a baggy top with some nice Levi’s shorts, for example. This dress, on the other hand, was the perfect length for me, and the off shoulder details distract from the fact that is a relatively loose dress. It also has some flattering slits on each side, which I personally loved. The fabric was light and perfect for the Texas heat. Hallelujah.

Side Note: I recommend that you read the measurements, and pick the sizing accordingly.

WHAT I WORE: ORIGINALS AND A SLIT DRESS

IMG_5930 IMG_5922 IMG_5951 IMG_5929 IMG_5931aDress:  AKIRA (here)
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: PINSTRIPES

Culottes: AKIRA (here)
Tank: Forever 21
Cap: Necessary Clothing (here)
Bag: Diophy
Heels: Public Desire

 

The hunt for perfect culottes has ended. Being that I’m relatively short, about 5’3 on a good day, I’ve been hesitant to wear culottes. But of course, after a little pep talk with myself and the discovery of AKIRA, I took the leap. I’ve spent plenty of hours in dressing rooms wishing I was taller, but somehow the pinstripes and slits on this pair of culottes worked out perfectly for my stature. If you’re not feeling this look, toss the cap and switch the tank for a crop top for a nighttime outfit. Want to see more from AKIRA? Shop their killer new arrivals here!
