Thursday

Is it really almost the end of the week already? My husband is coming back in two days!!! I feel like I just talked about him being away for 13 weeks yesterday. Time to hide away all my shopping bags, just kidding! Well, not really, I already threw the bags out and all items have been hidden. (I really wish I were joking)

It seems like stripes are making it big (or huge) this summer. It's almost impossible to avoid stripes these day, not that I want to but they are everywhere in the blogging world as well as in stores and I can't get enough of them! My outfit today, minus my shoes, costs me roughly $20.

Skirt: Forever 21 (Clearance for $7)
T-shirt: H&M ($12 for a pack of 2!)
Jacket: The limited (Old and free!)
Belt: Banana Republic (Clearance for about $10)

Boston street style

Walking back to pose...didn't quite make it so there you have my back!

This skirt is too short and I wonder if it's appropriate for an semi-old person my age, your thoughts please? That question leads me to an outfit that I were debating whether or not I should ever wear this style again.

Leggings and long shirt, yay or nay? It's terrifying for me to see young (or not so young) ladies walking around with leggings and a short top. My shirt was quite long but I pulled it down every five minutes just to make sure it didn't roll up while I was walking. I think I know my answer. When something makes me that uncomfortable to wear, it's best that I don't try it again.

Happy Friday everyone!

I love the first! and I can't believe it was only $20.... I don't think the skirt's too short. I think it helps that you're wearing dark tights!

And yes... I don't like seeing people's bums and all your cellulite! I'm all for leggings and LONG shirts..

Black tights solve all problems. That is my personal philosophy on life-- and on your outfit, too! Did you feel comfortable in it? Because as you say, there is no point walking around all day and feeling uncomfortable.

I think your husband should be impressed that this outfit cost $20! You deserve some more shopping! :D Haha just kidding.

Well I can't really avoid stripes...it's in my blog name. And i'm sorta obsessed with them : / BUT i fell in love with stripes wayy before they became more popular so that counts for something right? ha
