4 day work week!  Woopwoop!  Hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend.  Even though its the unofficial end of summer the weather is hot, hot.   Summer does not wanna leave us, and I don't wanna see it go.  Wearing blazers and shorts for me is one of the easiest ways to start transitioning from summer to fall. 

 

Blazers, cardigans, or even a chambray tops can all be the perfect piece to wear with shorts or dresses, for those warm days and cool nights.  Just not tonight!  It's sooooo hot in NJ today.  Stay cool peeps!

Kimonos & Slides

 

 

 

 

Kimono, Boyfriend Shorts, & Slides all from Wet Seal:

 Wet Seal Chevron Chiffon Kimono, Floral Print Slides

Tee: Target

Sunnies: N/A

Clutch: Nine West

 

 

 

 Today is Trendy Thursday!  Kimonos and slides are on the top of the summer charts.  I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a pair of slides, since I hear they aren't as comfortable as they look.  I scored these for less than $5 at Wet Seal.  If your wondering if they were comfy, they did hurt a little after a while.  I'm glad I got these for such a bargain. 

 

Moving on to kimonos.....I just love them!  They are the perfect addition to any simple basic outfit.  Long, short, or fringed they have so many colors and patterns you can wear them basically over anything.  I have a few short ones already in my closet so when I saw this long one at Wet Seal, I knew I had to add it to my collection.  I also wanted to point out that I've been living in these boyfriend shorts.  They have been my go to shorts this summer.  I'm sure you'll see them again, and again.

 

 

Have a lovely day!

Dear Chambray, I Love You!

 

 

 

 

 

Chambray Top: Mossimo Chambray Top (Target)

Belt: New York & Company

Skirt: Forever 21 via Thredup

Wedges: Kohl's

Clutch & Bracelets: Gift

 

 

 

The most versatile piece in my closet?  Goes with everything?  Yes and yes! 

It doesn't get any more clearer than that.  I LOVE chambray shirts!   

 

Try them tucked into a skirt (like I did here), half tucked with jeans, unbuttoned with a tank or dress underneath for a laid back look and one of my favorites is pairing it with a colored or printed denim.  Or even denim on denim, the list could go on and on.  The Possibilities are literally endless, it's easy-going and classic.  My fav!

------------

La pieza más versátil en mi armario? Va con todo? Sí y sí!
No hay nada más claro que eso. AMO camisas de jeans.

 

Trata lo escondida en una falda (como lo hice aquí), medio escondido con los jeans, desabrochados con un tanque o un vestido por debajo para un look relajado y uno de mis favoritos es el emparejamiento con un denim coloreados o impresos.  O incluso denim sobre denim, la lista podría seguir y seguir. Las posibilidades son literalmente infinitas, es fácil de llevar y clásico.  Mi favorito!

Happy Tuesday peeps!  Sunday Funday was an understatement this weekend when I got to spend the afternoon with some gorgeous ladies!  Bottomless sangria?  Yup, it was going down! 

 

I'll sum up my afternoon by saying I had too much sangria, and it's Tuesday and I still feel like death.  So I'm thinking these are all signs of an awesome afternoon!  It was so lovely spending the day with these blogger babes.

 

Hope you enjoy the pics!

Píos Feliz Martes!  Domingo Funday!  Este fin de semana tuve la oportunidad de pasar la tarde con algunas mujeres preciosas!  Sangría sin fondo? Sí, fuimos a pasar un buen rato!

Voy a resumir mi tarde diciendo que tenía demasiados sangría, y es el martes y todavía me siento como la muerte.  Así que estoy pensando en todos estos son signos de una tarde increíble!  Era tan maravilloso pasar el día con estas chicas blogger.
