summer outfits 2014

(time stamps ruin everything.. think of it as an "accidental" watermark)

LOOK 1

Road Trip!

A very simple and comfy outfit for any event. I kept it rather neutral with the earth tones and paired it with a cardigan for those chilly summer nights. These shorts practically scream ROAD TRIP.. or safari adventure... haha. 

Details:

cardigan: Stitches

tank: F21

shorts: DIY

bag: Aldo

LOOK 2

Smell the Summer Breeze

Wearing a dress in the summer is a great way to look put together and it only requires one garment. In this outfit I tied a cardigan around my waist not only to give it a layered look but it also emphasizes the smallest part of my waist.

Details: 

dress: YESSTYLE

cardigan: Urban Planet

LOOK 3

Colour Me NEON

I'm not one to wear such bright colours so here's my toned down version of a Neon look. I kept it really simple but with bold pieces, mainly the shorts and the clutch. When you have an accessory that's multi-coloured, it's easier to pair items of clothing together. I also threw on a white cardigan so it doesn't pull away from the entire look.

Details:

cardigan: Le'Chateau

tank: F21

shorts: Urban Planet

bow: DIY

clutch: Clinique Milly Cosmetic Bag

LOOK 4

But It's FREE.

This top use to be an XL shirt that I loved and wanted to give life to it. Here it is cut up and put to good use. This is more of an edgier look with the cut up top and the cut off shorts. You can always add a pop of colour with low tops [around the arm area] by wearing a cute printed bandeau/bralette or cropped tank.

Details: 

tank: F21

top: souvenir from Montreal

shorts: DIY cut-offs [no idea where they're from]

LOOK 5

You're Taking Me To the Amusement Park?!

This was more of my 'date' look. A girly outfit for those more dressed up events. Again, very simple in terms of a plain white tank and a printed skirt [skort]. I fell in love with this skort as soon as I saw it and immediately purchased it. And this bag just ties the whole look together; cute, vintage and girly.

Details:

tank: F21

skort: Pacific Mall

bag: Aliexpress

Well that's all for this post, if you had a favourite LOOK, I'd love for you to leave a comment below. Mine would probably be LOOK 5, although I had so much fun putting all of these together.

Quick last note, the cropped tank that I'm wearing above [LOOK's 1,3-5] are from Forever 21 and they're only $1.80. I kinda went crazy and bought 6 [grey, black, white, coral, white, blue and oatmeal]. 

Buy them while you can, they're a great summer staple.

Anyway this was so much fun typing up, hope you all enjoyed the post.

till next time, take care~
