Loving this colorful print, I had this outfit in my mind when I chose this shirt to feature. I saw the summery feel and knew I wanted to add in neutral/straw accents. The accessories really finish off the outfit while highlighting the fun print.  I love the organic, feel of the drop earrings, too. It has a turquoise patina and will look lovely this summer with so many outfits.

I recently picked up some printed shorts at Old Navy and realized that I hadn't worn these ones yet from last summer. It was the perfect outfit to showcase my new favorite layering necklace: the Somervell. I love how bold it is and I can't wait to try it out with more necklaces.

Of the Sea

Shirt: Charlotte Russe

Shorts: old

Necklace: Stella & Dot Serenity, email me to order

Flip Flops: Payless, old

Besides sundresses, I have entirely too many tank tops in my closet. Here's one of my clearance finds.. I love the blue ombre print. It's actually a sheer tank with another tank underneath and it's another thing that goes perfectly with my Serenity necklace. 

The Serenity is even more versatile that I thought. 

Oh So Blue

Shirt: Gap, old

Shorts: Forever 21 $4

  

Top Bracelet: Local store

Bottom Bracelet: H&M

Ring: Loft $7, last year

Personalized Necklace: c/o Charmedseed Jewelry

One of my favorite things is anything personalized. I can't get enough of anything monogrammed and since I love custom jewelry so much, 
I'm running out of ways to use my family's initials! Then I saw Charmedseed Jewelry's 
"I heart you necklace" and I knew I wanted the punched out heart. 
I was surprised to find that the heart is actually cut out with a saw! 
Aren't you so impressed? 

I'm loving this piece and can't wait for all the layering possibilities! I decided to wear a simple white shirt that wouldn't detract from the necklace and my new printed geometric shorts.  I kept checking out geometric prints this summer so I was really excited to find these for only $4. I stayed with the blue graphic theme in my jewelry too. 

Charmedseed Jewelry is giving one of you a necklace or a bracelet!

The Charmedseed Jewelry giveaway ends on Saturday, September 14th. 

Winner will be announced on Sunday, September 15th.

21 Day Challenge: Lessons Learned

Plans: Shopping on Labor Day

Tank: Gap

Shorts: New York & Co via Ross $5 (with tags)

Belt: Gottchalks

Bracelet: JCPenney

Earrings: Charlotte Russe (free with coupon)

 After starting this style blog and trying out the 21 day challenge, I've learned:


* I wear my hair down a lot!
* Buying dresses all the time limits the remixing possibilities
* I'm way more creative with my outfits when there is a challenge to complete
* I save my new clothes too long..I need to wear them!
* Love comments on my blog! I'll miss being linked up to Kayla's blog..
* I'm going to be more selective with my clothing buys now
* I should pay more attention to fit
* All outfits from now on should be blog worthy!

I completed 18 of the 21 challenges! The three days I missed, I was camping and missed the link up deadline. Then, because I was posting a couple days later, I wasn't getting any comments so I skipped a couple of challenges to catch up and post on the same day.

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the challenge. Lots of lessons learned!

21 Day Challenge: Closet Orphan

Halter: Loft

Shorts: ?

Belt: Charlotte Russe $1

Bracelets: Party City ($0.50)

Sandals: Payless Shoes

This challenge is to give some love to a closet orphan that hasn't seen the light of day in a while. I could do a whole 21 day challenge on just closet orphans alone.  Maybe I will, because after this challenge is done, I'm not sure what I would post about.  


So my closet orphan is the halter top. I think its been maybe 5 years since I've worn it! Crazy!
