We still have an inch of snow in Chicago, but this time of year is when my wardrobe starts to transition from snow boots to bikini shopping—and I'm here for it. As much as I love layering in the fall and winter, I am also looking forward to much simpler, bright and breezy outfits as the sun begins to outlast the days ahead. The last time I wore a skirt was probably early in high school, so I'm excited to switch up my look a bit with new and refined spring staples this year.
A Simple Pair of White Kicks
I never got hooked on the Nike Air Force 1 trend, but have always loved the way white sneakers look (after I got over the fact that they are, eventually, going to turn yellow). I'm a true stan of Adidas sneakers mainly because their cloud foam soles are the best for wide feet. These are the Adidas Advantage Sneakers and I am being so cautious not to step in any rain puddles. They're a classic pair of white sneakers, but with an added touch of personality with the gold panel on the heel.
Flowy tops and Bottoms
Echoing the growing trends of athleisure and sweatpants that winter and this pandemic brought, flowy skirts, dresses, and tops achieve the same form of comfort and movement we all need this spring. I have always loved a cute and simple peasant top, but never a cropped version. I love this Wild Fable Puff Top and the square neckline that I see everybody sporting nowadays. Pair it with some flared or skinny denim and you're all set for a Mamma Mia remake.
I've have been averse from wearing skirts, just because I never knew what types of tops I could wear them with and I also had trouble finding skirts that complimented my waistline. However, we are not limited to miniskirts, ladies! Go out and grab this Madewell Georgette Tiered Maxi Skirt while it's on sale now! It's the perfect breathable length for us tall chicks who can't be seen in short shorts or miniskirts. It's versatile and can be worn casually or dressed up! I am also in love with this New Connection mustard button down dress I bought in France two years ago, and found a similar cami version on Amazon, here. Don't worry, this one also has pockets—a must have.
Everything Sage Green
Green has always been my favorite color, hence the color of my room, and I am thrilled that it is back in style this year. Nail polishes, sweat suits, and sneakers galore are coming out with this subtle sage green color, so when I saw these Universal Thread Adelaide Sandals at Target, I had to pick them up. I never spend too much on strappy sandals, mainly because I own a bunch of them and wear them out. I'm curious to see how these elastic straps will last and I'm excited to not have to buckle them every time I put them on!
Pair your look with an essential leather crossbody and some sweet shades—you look stunnin' honey! March is a month of promise and less sweat pant wearing indeed. I'm always one to find a bit more playfulness with my looks during the springtime, so I hope this edit has inspired you to get out the shorts and sandals after springing forward this weekend. What's on your spring fashion wishlist?
Even though it's the middle of September (where has the time gone?), it's still 80 degrees in Chicago and there hasn't been any sign of Fall! It's at that awkward transition stage of Summer to Fall and I never know when to wear shorts or when to wear jeans. Lately, I've been wearing a lot of rolled jeans and tanks. It's a bearable in between when it's still pretty warm out but, night usually gets a lot cooler. I have also been loving black and heather toned stuff. It just pulls me in whenever I see a piece of clothing in a store nowadays.
I would define my style as pretty sporty. I'm loving this "Athleisure" vibe and it's been hella comfy to wear pretty much anywhere. You can wear this outfit out to dinner, shopping, at a movie, to school, to work, or just hanging out on a chill Sunday with peeps. You can dress this look up or down and I love how versatile these pieces can be!
I have seen a lot of these mixes of athletic wear paired with rolled up jeans and cute accessories; I have really grown to love it. High-neck muscle tees and ripped black jeans paired with my favorite Nike's have been a go to look for me this season. Adding a nice leather saddle bag can add a touch of sophistication and balance the ensemble, in my opinion.
Shout out to my loving sis, Melissa, for helping me take these pictures (and Dad too). I haven't taken any fashion pics lately and I was inspired to take some when my family went out to Oak Park a bit ago. I've been obsessed with this type of style for a while now and I want to know what trends you guys have been loving lately as well! Let me know in the comments.

Hello everybody! I hope you all have had a great week. Now I wanted to do something fashion related for this week's blog post and I felt that posing in negative degree weather would make this post a bit more "seasonal" looking or have you will. But, then again, I did end up going to a local greenhouse where it was a bit warmer and I was able to show you guys the main pieces that I am wearing. So, my best friend Ellie and I went on a little adventure this past weekend and I am so happy to share it with all of you.
Hello everyone! I wanted to do a little Fall outfit photo shoot so I can show you my looks for this season! Enjoy.
Long Sleeve- HM
Sports Bra- Pink
Jeans- Kohl's
Shoes- Toms
My favorite things to wear during the season are my Toms and rolled jeans. Especially these black ripped jeans I found at Kohl's one day. You can dress up or down an outfit with distressed jeans and I love the casual look as well!
Fall is just around the corner and I am soooo excited! I'm preparing for this seasons fall trends and I'm here to share the ones I have seen and worn with y'all.
1) Stripes
Stripes this year are all the rage. Forget looking like a prisoner (some people might say), stripes are totally in this season and I'm pretty sure I own more than 5 striped pieces in my wardrobe. Whether the stripes are vertical or horizontal, dress, top, or pants, they can add so much to an outfit. That's why I love this Maroon Forever 21 t-shirt dress so much. I kind of use it as a shirt and wear leggings under it with a cute pair of boots or sandals. You can also layer it with a jean jacket or a pleather jacket if you'd like.
2) Maroon
I also mentioned maroon (a deep dark purple-y red if you don't know), which is also a very very popular color worn for this time of year. I don't know where it came from but, why didn't this color ever exist in the fashion world?? haha. I feel like nobody ever wore this color and now it's became a total trend. Trends seem to always come back and evolve I guess.
3) Tunics
As I was saying, trends always seem to come back, tunics (long shirts), are coming back as well! I have been wearing so many, especially this Cooperative Summer Tee that I love so much. They are great with leggings and jeans and can be layered as well.
4)High-rise Jeggings
Jeggings are my go-to pants for this season. Since they're half jeans and half-leggings, who wouldn't buy them?? They're the most comfortable faux jeans in the world and they look like jeans! Mine are the American Eagle Hi-Rise Jegging and I love them to death! They're super stylish and go with everything! I love pairing them with long sweaters and flowy tops.
5) Collared/turtle neck tees
So one thing that I was very surprised to come back was turtle necks but, in tee form. The collar is back. I'm still deciding whether I like the look on me yet but, I love this grey Cooperative tee I mentioned above from Urban Outfitters. It's light and flattering and totally able to be layered.
6) Saddlebags
Every season I pick out a new saddlebag. I like the versatility, the shape, the look, and the space. Oh, and the shoulder strap of course, that always comes in handy. I was not able to find a link to the bag I have above however I have found one style and price comparable here UO Messenger Bag. I love how my bag and any saddle bag can dress up a casual look. Clean and sophisticated.
7) Cat-eyed Sunglasses
Sunglasses like these have finally made their way back from the 50s. Whether it's a full on cat-eye or a subtle cat-eyed pair like mine above, they always add a bit off "attitude", if you know what I mean. My pair, Forever 21 Cat Eye Sunglasses, are so cute! They go with anything and everything and shape your face and flatters it. What more could ya need?
8) Slip-on Canvases
Oh my gosh. My favorite piece of all time. My shoes. My Vans. The Perforated Vans are my favorite pair of sneakers you could imagine. They come in multiple styles and colors and can be worn with anything. They are also pretty comfy, a little hard to break in but, well worth it in the end. I wear these normally with rolled up jeans, capris, and leggings. Especially going on trips I love to wear these so I can easily slip them off in security and on the plane if I want to. I highly recommend these shoes more than converse. For a little bit more money, your paying for a better quality, better looking, and an awesome shoe to show off to all of your bffs.
9) Bracelet Stacking
As a highschooler, I am open to many trends and I have recently been noticing bracelet stacking to the EXTREME. With Lokai bracelets (I did a post on them here Lokai Bracelet Review and Purpose) and Alex and Ani Bracelets, Alex and Ani. I feel like bracelets and bangles always add the final touch to an outfit and I love wearing my bangles and Lokai with pretty much everything!
10) Watches
My rose gold watch is my all time favorite watch to wear. Especially since it's ROSE GOLD. Every one is back into watches and you don't have to pay very much for one either. They are totally in this year and sometimes I forget I'm even wearing a watch and ask people what time it is!
Is there any trend I missed? Leave comments below!
