WHAT I WORE: BABY TEE AND LACE UP SHORTS

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.

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?

WHAT I WORE: PINSTRIPES

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!
