Maxi Skirt Pt 2: Gypsy

Maxi Skirt; ANGL | Top; ANGL | Bralette; Forever 21 | Rings; Vintage

I think this may be my favorite of the three looks I created with this skirt. I feel like such a gypsy. I love the bohemian vibe this gives off, especially for summer. I am in love with the blush color lace on this top (it's actually a dress, but I'm using it as a top here), and if any of you really know me, you know I'm obsessed with bell sleeves (and bell bottoms, of course).

Are any of you obsessing over the new City & Colour album as much as I am? What's your favorite track off of it?

So today at Paul Mitchell we had one of our special dress days. Today's theme was "Party Rock." Needless to say, bright colors were a must. Paired with these lace bell bottoms.. Perfection. I feel like it's almost slightly disco-y. But I dig it, and most everyone else did as well. I also decided to try something new with the makeup, and went with a Twiggy inspired look paired with my usual eye makeup ritual.

On another note, a friend and I were talking today about how cynical I am about society as a whole, and how we should really make an effort to be kind to everyone. Something I should most definitely work on, as my tolerance for people has decreased greatly over the past years. Guys, keep me in check!

Hope you're all having a great week!

I have unfortunately been living in black lately (not by choice). Paul Mitchell requires all their students to wear straight black (no colored prints or patterns, or even shoelaces that aren't black), and I'm more than tired of it already after only two weeks. But, I have to make the most of it, which is why I try to find pieces made of different materials to at least give it some sort of texture. Like this lace overlay blouse. I would usually wear more jewelry to spice up the school uniform, but I more so wanted to show off the lace pattern on the top. I get way too excited for the weekends now just because I can wear color and patterns (and of course sleep in.. I will never get accustomed to getting up early. NEVER). It's going to be a long, mostly colorless year.

I have been DYING to get some lace bells for quite some time, and when I stumbled across these in the Urban Outfitters sale sections, it was a purchase I couldn't turn down. Beautiful black lace bells for only $10?! What a steal! Fell in love with them immediately. I am also totally in love with this pair of Dolce Vitas which I also managed to find in Urban Outfitters sale section. One of their employees told me that those platforms had just been sitting around for months. How no one picked them up at such a great price is beyond me! (Okay, I guess not really.. Most of Fresno isn't very.. fashion savvy I guess you'd say. A blessing for me in this case).
