La Señorita

Ole!

Everything: Thrifted

I wore this outfit to my internship a couple weeks ago, when it was considerably warmer. I thought this outfit up during the summer when I was trying to find tops to go with this skirt. I like this shirt but when I wear it I feel a little like a Mexican Señorita, I think it’s something about the pleating on the shoulders. Anyway I like this outfit but I’m not sure if I love it. I felt a little too much like a little girl in it. I think my style is evolving a bit and I just have a desire to be a little less girly and more tailored/grown up/ edgier. I like it, but it’s just not where my style heart is at the moment. What do you do when your style is in transition?

We found some good stuff at pretty decent prices last year so we decided to go again this year. I had to work the first […]

Sweater & Shoes: Thrift Pants: Dorothy Perkins It’s been a bit chilly lately, sweater weather if you will. I actually don’t mind the weather, I just have to remember how to dress for the “cold.” It doesn’t help that the temperature in my intership’s office has also significantly fallen and we’re all […]
