Set Me Free

Hello!
Surprised to see me so soon? I must be having a good week if I have back-to-back outfit posts! This week has definitely been refreshing having nothing to do. Yet I'm kind of relieved that school resumes next week. Call me crazy but I get bored of summer after a while...I'll probably think myself crazy when I look back on this statement in a few weeks...

Anyway, here's one of the skirts and one of the pairs of shoes I got on Monday. Each was just $5! I chucked out my rule that every skirt I own has to have pockets when I saw this one. How could I not buy it? I bought another skirt just like it but it has a floral print for the same price, and now I'm kind of regretting not getting the striped one too. Maybe next time. I realized that on Monday I didn't buy any stripes either. Don't worry I still love stripes. In fact I found my perfect red striped top today at Zara! So much for not spending anymore money...

Speaking of the color red, I just realized that this is my third outfit in a row that has red in it. I think it's my new favorite color! It's such a great color to accent any outfit with and it goes so well with blue. I am still on the hunt for the perfect red bow though. Hopefully my bestie will find it for me while she's in China studying abroad.

I think another growing obsession I have, besides polka-dots and the color red, is floral-printed flats. They just make it so easy to mix patterns and add a feminine touch to any outfit. I think slowly my closet is becoming more and more complete. It's crazy to think that about a year ago all I ever bought were plain v-necks. Now I'm a bit print-crazy.

Oh, and look who came to join me in my backyard? The neighbor's cat! I'm not really a cat-person, but she's super sweet. I don't know her name, but I've named her Charcoal.

Until next post,
Jasmine

PS. If the skirt was dotted with stars instead of circles, I could totally pass off as an American flag.

outfit: red striped crop top -- f21; polka dot skirt & floral flats -- cotton on; belt -- purse strap; sunglasses -- uo

  10. Lovely outfit! I wish I could find a skirt with stars on it. I used to have quite an obsession actually and a star studded skirt would be something else! Enjoy the rest of your summer off. You might miss it once it's gone:)

  13. Love the polka dots and flats most of all. Who would have thought you could do stripes, dots and florals all in one outfit and make it work?

    Well done!

  14. Love the mix of polka dots and stripes! Actually polka dots, stripes, and florals are my three favorite patterns, and all in one is even better! That cat is so cute, I love black cats! They always look so mysterious.

  24. oh Jasmine, your tuggin' at my heart strings with the polka dot/stripe combo. i don't think there's any better look for summer! Also, you make me sad I don't have a Zara. :( I keep seeing Zara, Zara, Zara everywhere, and it makes me wanna cry! We don't have that or an H&M or a UO or a AA and it makes me so sad. I guess that's why I end up thrifting all my clothes. We're getting an Anthro this summer, but that's so far from my price range!

  25. LOL @ the American Flag remark :p But I really love the color palette and mix of prints. They're very subtle (thin stripes and small dots) so they work perfectly together :)

    Loving the wayfarers too. My face is too wide for them to look good on me :( BOO!!!
