Ways to Wear: Printed Shorts
Hi there blogosphere! One of the major trends of this summer is shorts. Not just any kind of shorts though, printed shorts, and really more along the lines of interesting shorts in general. There are spiked shorts, leather shorts, glitter shorts, striped shorts, etc. To me it just seems like fashion decided that, "Hey! Why should shirts have all the fun?!" and I totally agree with that! Printed shorts can bring some excitement to a summer wardrobe, and definitely spice it up from the usual plain jean shorts. One thing I must say though, is that pulling off printed shorts can be difficult; with the more complex the print is, usually the harder it is to find something to wear with it. But have no fear my friend, this is where I come in to help! :) Today I decided to put together a set with six different looks utilizing the printed shorts trend. I hope this gives you inspiration to try this trend out on your own!

Long Time, No See & Cold-Weather Accessories (Ways to Wear/My Obsessions Post)
Hi guys, I know it's been forever and a day(which equates to seven months) since I've last posted, but I am finally here again! Man how I have missed blogging, and it feels good to be back! How have you guys been?? This feels so much like one of those moments when you're in the grocery store and you see an old friend that you haven't talked to in ages. :)
Well anyway, enough with the chit-chat. Today's post is about something I would like to consider myself somewhat of an expert on, or at least an educated fan of: scarves. I love scarves and I feel like they can be some of the greatest accessories to add to almost any outfit! And with so many different colors and patterns, scarves are a sure way to express yourself and add a personal touch. Scarves can add a pop of interesting to a bland outfit or be the item to bring the whole outfit together.
A lot of people consider scarves to be a cold-weather accessory, but that my friend, is where they are mistaken! For me scarves aren't something you just throw-on when your neck might be a little chilly, they're something you can where ANYTIME, including in the summer! The trick is to make sure to wear a light-weight scarf so that your chic outfit addition is not making you anymore sweaty than need-be. Another trick for rocking a scarf in the heat is all in the way you wear it. Trust me, if your neck looks like it's being choked by fabric. . .then it probably is! Instead, the scarf should be worn in a way that drapes the clothing nicely, and doesn't have so much of a snug vibe to it.
I thought it be nice to do a little show-and-tell now, so here's a quick snapshot of my collection of scarves. :)
To get everyone started(if you are new to the whole summer scarf idea) here is a set of some more scarves, that I love, and would be perfect to wear, even in the summer's heat! Also, further down below I've chosen three of those scarves and put outfits together with them, to give you some ideas on how to rock this type of look. :)

OOTD- Casual in Green
Hi guys! I have an outfit post for you all today, it's just a casual outfit that I wore out and about a few days ago. I hope you like it!
 |
| I really love this first picture! :) |
 |
| Shirt- JcPenney's, Shorts- Wal-mart, Gray Cami- Old Navy, Shoes- Rack Room Shoes, Headband- Target, Leaf Bracelet- Aldo, Bangle- American Eagle. And, yes I do sit on top of washing machines to get a full body pic. (: |
 |
| Yep, it's true, I even look good from the side. ;D |
 |
| These sandals are a great item in my wardrobe! They definitely help to make certain outfits come together nicely. |
 |
| I adore this bracelet! These days I've really been into jewelery with leaves and other things of that nature. |
 |
| Pretty snazzy headband, huh?? It's like a whole bunch of little pyramid thingys, if you want to be technical. ;) |
I forgot to take a picture of the crochet details. The back is sort of similar to the front of this Asos shirt HERE, except the crocheted part on my shirt is a little bit more of a semi-circle or a "u" shape, versus the Asos one having more of a "V" shape, and on my shirt the crochet is not as see-through. There is also some crocheting done below the sleeves of my shirt(you can kind of see it in the picture I took with the side view).
Hope you enjoyed this post! More to come soon!
