Summer Stripes

Hello everybody! Hope this summer heat has been good to ya so far! Today's #ootd includes one of my all-time favorite striped wide-leg jumpsuit (and it's right under $25 too! #whatasteal!). In my opinion, striped clothes are always great staple pieces to keep in your closet especially during the summer. Stripes, when paired with the right colors, can naturally give a nautical/boating vibe. Originally, I saw a similar jumpsuit on Kendall Jenner and absolutely fell in love with the style, but definitely not the price tag. I started looking for similar pieces online and what do you know, Forever 21 had a "dupe" for almost 1/10th of the price and I've been wearing it on repeat ever since! Some of you readers may think, "well the color of the jumpsuit will attract so much heat from the sun", which could be true, but this jumpsuit was definitely made for the summer because the material is consisted of a light/airy rayon fabric and the wide-leg pants really help keep the ventilation going! Also,  the white vertical striped pattern can help enhance the appearance of a longer body. Lastly, to finish off the boating look, I've added a straw boater hat and a pair of mules for a casual and comfortable day out! Hope you enjoy this #ootd and thank you always for stopping by! ^_^

Summer Stroll

Hey guys! Happy 2nd of July! Hope everyone's been having a fantastic summer! 

Here is an outfit that I've been anticipating to share with y'all! It's a simple yet sophisticated look that can work with many different occasions. It's dressy enough to wear to a special event, but casual enough to wear on a day-stroll out and about with friends (maybe not with the 4 inch heels though)!

Haha, I felt like I was taking grad pics all over again. 

The color and print of this skirt really stood out to me and it's perfect for summer with the cool leafy vibe. Kind of reminds me of a tropical island. Cool fact: my mom actually bought this skirt for me and we take turns wearing it LOL! 

Dancing in place. 

 I adore all shades of blue, especially turquoise!

I think I almost tripped in this picture. I am absolutely terrible at walking in heels, which is why I rarely wear them.

Not sure if you noticed, but I wanted to keep this look very minimal despite the bright patterned skirt. What I did here was match the skirt with a plain white top and black accessories to keep the look clean and minimal as possible. With a patterned outfit, you want the accessories to be simple so it doesn't clash with the rest of the outfit!

Hope you found some summer fashion inspiration through this post! Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend! (:
