Spring Blossoms

I'm so excited that I can finally start wearing skirts without freezing my butt off!  I've really started to take some fashion risks more now that I've started blogging.  A few weeks ago I was thrifting with my sister, and stumbled across a gold metallic top; I picked it right away because I was so drawn to it, but kind of thought that I would just wind up putting it back.  But as I thought about it I was thinking how this top was one of those pieces that was so quirky that it was actually cool.  So I bought it.  And now I love it.


Aviators | Old Navy in-store | similar here
Skirt | Choies Green Sakura midi | $16.90
Metallic Top | thrifted from Savers | similar here & here
Pointed Flats | Sam & Libby Heidi Two-piece flats | $30
Bag | Michael Kors Selma (large) | gift from Richie, get it here

I was a little skeptical about this Choies skirt because pretty much all of the models and bloggers who I've seen wearing clothes from this place are much slimmer than me.  I usually wear a size 12 or 14 in bottoms, depending on the brands, but I just couldn't pass up such a cute skirt for such a great price!  I ordered the large (which is what I usually order), and crossed my fingers.  And to my surprise, it fit fine!  The waistband stretches, so it fits comfortably and doesn't squeeze me at the waist (and therefore, no yucky muffin top).

Check out some behind-the-scenes-blogger-outtakes, because when I look back through all my pictures from a shoot these are my favorite because they're so hilarious!
And check out my Ariana Grande do!  I'm kind of digging the high, half-up half-down pony for spring.  ;)

"Hey, what's going on up there?!"

Have you found a piece that you weren't too sure why you liked it, then after you bought it, wound up loving it?  :)

April Faves

April was a pretty good month for me. I turned 24 (guess that means I'm kind of an adult now, lol)!  

I'm starting to become more confident as a blogger and really getting into the swing of things (posting more regularly, getting/taking more quality photos).  My personal style has also come a long way since I started blogging; I like how I look and feel good in the things I wear, which has definitely helped with my self-confidence and overall made me happier with myself! :)

I'm positive May is going to be a great month and I'm confident I'm going to improve my blogging even more!

Unfortunately, I'm still pretty sick, but I still wanted to share my roundup with you guys anyways (I promise I'll try and get the rest of the links up as soon as I'm feeling better!) :*

Weekend Find: Forever 21 Palm Frond skirt

Only $23!!

This Forever21 graphic palm frond skirt is perfect for summer.  Anything to do with palm trees screams summer to me.  And if you saw my Easter Eyelet post (check it out here) then you know I'm trying to ease myself into wearing more white pieces to brighten up my wardrobe (I own a lot of black, grey and blue...).

Tonight I paired it with a white tunic top and white Sperry's (and imagine how awesome it would look with a tan!) for some birthday celebrations with friends, so it's casual, but still fun for a night out!


What do you guys think? :)
