Maxi Skirts: Pt 1

Top; Forever 21 | Skirt; ANGL | Kimono top; Thrifted | Shoes; Dolce Vita

So I decided to put together a series of posts on how to style the basic maxi skirt. This one which I got from a shop called ANGL, has quickly become a favorite. I love the tie dye pattern at the bottom. Plus the colors are neutral, so it can pretty much go with anything. I aimed for this look to be a tad bit beachy, with pieces that will flow gorgeously in the coastal wind. I always seem to get lucky at Goodwill, as I found this kimono-esque sheer top there for only a couple bucks. I love all things long and flowy, so it was a must buy. 

I may very possibly have a job soon. I had an interview at a shop earlier this week, so beginning of next week, I'm bringing in a friend to be my hair model for the day, so they can see how well I do. Fingers crossed!

So this past Sunday, Yezmene asked me if I would like to model for The Hoot Nest's lookbook. I of course said yes! The Hoot Nest is a vintage/thrift/upcycled shop located in downtown Fresno. The shop's owner, Gina, upcycles vintage clothes and ads her own little touch to them, yet still at a thrift store price. They've got so many amazing pieces! I actually ended up purchasing the vintage GAP shorts because I loved them so much. Demi, Brijido, Yezmene, and I all had a really great time shooting this. Quite a lot of fun. I hadn't modeled for any shops/clothing companies in about a year. Was great to get back into it! If you're ever around the Fresno area, this is one shop you must check out.

Hope you all are having a great week!

Yesterday one of my closest friends in high school graduated college! Well, this part of college anyhow. She's studying to be a teacher, and starts her credential program this next semester. Anyhow, I knew I had to dress it up a bit for this special celebration, and my first thought piece was this silk skirt that I came across at Goodwill! I hadn't worn it yet, so I figured it would be the perfect time to debut it. I can almost never find skirts that fit me perfectly, so when I found this one that did, I knew I had to pair it with a crop top. I threw on the necklace and the hat seriously last minute, and I really like the feel they added to the look. Funny how throwing something together so last minute can end up so good at times.

Congrats again to Judy for graduating! I know you'll do well, no matter what you choose to do.

I ALWAYS take advantage of the weekends and wear as much color as possible since Paul Mitchell limits us to black only. This weekend is no exception. Found this dress at Forever 21.. I love leopard print, and the minty green color was perfect for spring. I also love the cutout on the back. I'd also been looking for a nice denim jacket, and found this one at Goodwill for only $2! My mom has become pretty impressed with my thrifting skills as of late.

Anyway, I hope you're all having a great weekend with this wonderful weather!
