Geo Print Tee > Ikat Kimono > Skinny Jeans > What I Wore

The evening after I took these pictures, I noticed two tiny holes in my shirt, which is sad, because this is an awesome, boxy tee. So now, its a sleep shirt. Womp. Oh well, I've had it for a few years, gotten a handful of wears out of it, and likely, it was a super cheap sale find, so I won't shed too many tears. Hey, is it just me, or do a lot of Urban Outfitters tees end up having holes in them? I feel like that's usually the way I end up parting with most of my purchases from that particular store... I  find a hole or two and end up tossing it, sometimes after only a few wears. And though it hasn't entirely stopped me from shopping there exclusively for the sales, it is definitely always in the back of my mind.

Enough about that. On another note, the necklace I'm wearing is one of my new favorite things. It's abstract, modern, and generally bad ass, and only cost me a dollar in a random store in downtown LA. Who's a winner? This girl, right here.

Green Dress > Chambray Shirt > What I Wore

One of my favorite ways to wear certain dresses is layered over other garments. A simple dress can easily be thrown on over a pair of leggings, a tank top, a turtleneck, or even a button down, as shown here. This is especially important to remember as the weather continues to cool down. Don't stop rockin' your favorite sun dress just because the season has changed! This green cotton tank dress almost begs to be partnered with colorful leg wear, tees, blouses, and sweaters, so much so that I actually hardly ever wear it on it's own. It actually reminds me of wearing jumper dresses when I was a little girl. Remember those? 

Well, knowing how to layer a dress won't just spark nostalgia, keep you warm, and prevent you from dying of boredom, but it will save space in your suitcase when you're traveling. I once packed this same dress for a week long trip to New York in the dead of winter and probably wore it about 4 different times, with no two outfits looking alike.
