Oversized Pastel Coat

Growing up I had a wool oversized pink coat and now I really wish I still had it. I think its at my dads house, but with my schedule I don’t have time to get it. With all that being said I was extremely happy to see that this Fall & Winter pastel coats were trending.

Lately I have been a Forever21 junkie more than usual and thats when I first took notice of the oversized wool coats and even the various pastel ones they have to offer, $60 for a "just because I think its hot" coat was definitely not apart of my budget, especially with the big move I am about to make into my own place. But just because I couldn’t get the one Forever21 had to offer didn’t mean I couldn’t be apart of the trending factor. 

I gladly went to the Georgia Ave Thrift and immediately fell in love. I found this featured baby blue pastel coat. At first it seemed to oversized but after trying it on about 4 times I realized it was exactly what I was looking for. The best part about this Thrifty find was that it was only $10 and 100% wool. After leaving this thrifting adventure I came out with this amazing coat, fringe boots, a corduroy blazer and a wool skirt. 

Lately I have been wanting to wear this coat with everything. I like the fact that it looks great with a dress and even better with some jeans and flats or jeans and heels. Although I have 2 other coats of interest I feel that this will be my go to coat. What is your outtake on pastel coats? Would you agree wool oversized coats are a must have for this season?

Bohemian Styled, Free Flowing Pants Overload








Pants: Thrifted | Tank Top: JCPenney | Fringe Vest: JCPenney | Shoes: Old Summer Favs | All Jewelry: Coquettish | Sunglasses: Versace | Clutch: TJMaxx

82 degree weather today....SCORE! I am so in love with warm weather and although the forecast clearly said 82 degrees it still caught me off guard today.  Now that school is out and my internship hasn't started, I have free time before work to enjoy the company of friends and I took advantage of it today. 

This Bohemian look today was inspired mainly by another addition of causal free flowing pants to my closet. Thrifting is usually apart of my weekly to do list and I found this awesome comfy pants at the thrift store. Each season I have a section of my closet that is on overload because I am so in love with whatever style it is. Last winter it was velvet and I can tell this spring it is free flowing pants ( as I like to call them). 

As soon as I spotted these pants in the thrift store I knew I would keep it simple with a tank top and pair it with my favorite necklace Brenda via Coquettish and some sandals. After organizing my closet and seeing this vest that I only wore once in Puerto Rico, I thought it would be perfect to add the finishing touches to this Bohemian look.

Now that warm weather is here I am so excited to shop, take photos, eat, and shop even more. What is your favorite spring item that is on overload in your closet?

Casual Day of Practice










Top: H&M | Pants: Thrifted | Shoes: Marshalls | Necklace: Coquettish | Watch: Michael Kors | Ring: My Diamond Stash | Nail Polish: Julep

After acing an exam on the last day of class for the school year and having the day off, I thought it would be perfect to not only go thrifting, but also take a few photos.

I am so new to blogging and fashion photography, I felt that practicing my "face" and "glam shots" is necessary. I must admit I am little camera shy especially when people are watching. I am not one that is very photogenic and I have come to realize accidental shots are always the best for me. Me naturally being silly, goofy, happy, and even a little sexy (lol) makes the best photos, or at least I think so.

It was such a casual day and I enjoyed it with this casual outfit. I am so excited to share with you guys my lovely thrifted finds I came across so stayed tuned to see future thrifted outfit post and my secrets to thrifting.
