Blue Stripes with a Pop of Red
[slideshow_deploy id=’1976′]
Happy Monday friends! I apologize for the lack of blog posts these past two weeks. However, I have some exciting posts for this week. I wanted to share this quick striped outfit to start off the week. I love to wear striped tops and even more if they are off the shoulder.
Off the shoulder tops are very trendy for the summer time and even more because they are perfect for those hot days. I purchased my top from Target not too long ago and also got it on sale. It was a win win in my book. I got my top in size medium for comparison but I might have even liked going a size up because I love loose tops.
My jeans were purchased on sale from American Eagle for about $25, and you can find them here. They are some of my favorite because ripped jeans are so comfy on me, especially the jegging material. Now let’s talk about the sandals! I purchased them also on sale from Target for $20. It was a nice deal and I had been eyeing them for quite some time so I finally decided to pull the trigger.
Overall, my entire outfit was pretty affordable and I love that you can take away pieces and add some accessories and it can still look great. Target has a ton of items that are always on sale and I love to pick things up that are affordable and I can wear on an everyday basis.

GRWM | Everyday Makeup Look & Outfit
It is finally the perfect season to wear off the shoulder tops! I actually purchased my top from Burlington a year ago, but never got around to wearing it. I do this way too often I feel like. However, I did want to mention that I found a top similar to mine for only $13, from SheIn. They have some pretty great blouses for the spring and summer time, be sure to check them out.
My jeans are some of my favorite go-to-pair from my all time favorite jean store…Express. My favorite pair to purchase from them are the jeggings because they fit perfectly in all areas. This is hard because I have long legs but I am not skinny everywhere so it is sometimes hard to look for jeans that fit me. If you have an Express Outlet near you, I suggest stopping by and checking it out. They usually have the jeans a bit cheaper than the Express store (not always, but sometimes). My booties were a gift, but they are from the brand Madden Girl and currently are very trendy with the peep toe.
Anyways, let’s get to the makeup look! I wanted to create a GRWM video of my everyday makeup. It takes me about 10 minutes to do it I would say, not very long. The thing with makeup is I honestly don’t like wearing much of it. In the video linked below, I did apply a little more foundation than usual because I was going out for a date night. However, mostly everyday I just use the CC cream I mentioned and it works perfect for me. I hate caking on makeup to the point it looks fake because we all (this girl) has zits and I am not afraid to show them. I like to be natural and I even remember my brother always saying how cool it was that I never wore makeup. I didn’t up until I came to college.
Makeup is so much fun, but I just would rather spend my mornings working out or eating than taking my time doing it. I want to create a video on the 5 minute makeup challenge because that is pretty much what I do everyday (lol). I also typically don’t wear lipstick to work either. I did in this video because I seriously bought a ton of lipsticks and have not used any of them. I don’t want to let them go to waste (some already did). I have to start using the beauty products I buy more regularly, someone send me a makeup artist my way.
I hope you guys enjoy the video linked below. Please comment on the video what you would like me to record next (it can be anything :)).

Memorial Day Weekend – Things to Do
[slideshow_deploy id=’1892′]
I hope I am not the only one that like to rock out in some overalls, or am I? These overalls were gifted to me awhile back but I have included a lot of similar ones at some affordable prices as well! There are some from Forever 21 for less than $30. This weekend was way too busy but I also got a lot of things done as well. I wanted to share with you guys this quick outfit to wear for the warmer weather, as well as some things I do on these long weekends. I also want to mention a thank you to all those who have served and are currently serving for our country. Your work doesn’t go unnoticed!
First off, the biggest task I try to accomplish on a three day weekend is cleaning my home. It can get pretty crazy in my household because I am currently taking a class, working full time, and trying to blog/vlog as well. Therefore, my home ends up being on the last of “to do list” which I hate to admit that, but other things do take priority. I am currently typing this as I sit in our living room and can literally “smell” the cleanliness. I am a sucker for cleaning and love having a clean home so I am super thankful I was able to clean out the house.
Secondly, I love spending time with family on long weekends. I don’t get to do it during the week because I work and go to school. My parents and brothers don’t live too far from me but it still at least a day trip to go visit them. I was able to spend three days there this weekend… BLESSED! I love hanging out with them and I have noticed that the older I get the more I want to spend time with them. For those graduating and wanting to leave, I am sure five years from now you’ll want to come back and live with your parents (haha).
Lastly, one of the things I like to do is accomplish all of errands. For example, grocery shopping, picking up home renovation items, homework, reading, blogging etc. It’s hard to try to do all of these errands during the week but when you have an extra day to try to accomplish these, it is well worth it! I always wish I had three day weekends on the norm, but who am I to try to change the policies (haha). The reason I like to do these things is because it sets me on the right direction for a productive week. I am really busy right now, so the extra time really does come in handy!
So that is pretty much how my long three day weekends usually look like. It would be nice if I told you guys I go on vacation and what not, but let’s be realistic, I really can’t do that right now. Alonso and I have a lot of upcoming projects we need to save for and trips as well. Okay, back to the outfit, I seriously love overalls. Whether they are pants or shorts, I am a big fan of them. I like to wear these in the summer time because they are pretty easy to pair with anything. I was debating wearing sandals or tennis shoes with them. The Nikes obviously won! They are my favorite and are currently on sale as well.
Comment down below what you like to accomplish during the three day weekends!
Everyday Work Outfit
If you haven’t guessed it yet, I love wearing jeans and pants to work. It’s seriously my comfort zone. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love dresses and skirts as well, but I also love to stay comfy!
I typically try to not buy as many pants or jeans and instead purchase more tops. It’s easier to try to do that and mix and match the pieces. I seriously need to try to get a blog post up with some mix matching outfits. I try my hardest not to wear the same outfit twice and I think I’ve actually done a good job so far. It can be hard, don’t get me wrong! However, I found this to be the best way so I don’t purchase constantly.
My top is from Forever 21, and it’s pretty thin so I have to wear a tank top underneath. My pants are from American Eagle and are stretchy and comfortable! You have seen my flats all over my Instagram but they are from Target and when I purchased them they were only $13! Yes, I got a steal :).
Hope you enjoyed my everyday work outfit and please comment down below what you’re everyday work outfit is!
A Bit of Rustic Orange
[slideshow_deploy id=’1865′]
I just recently attended an event here in Reno where I was able to meet other bloggers from the community. The Biggest Little Fashion Truck, Panty Drop, and Liberty Food and Wine Exchange hosted the event. It was such a fun event and it was the first time I had ever heard of The Biggest Little Fashion Truck. I was able to check out some of their inventory and let me just start off by saying.. I’m in LOVE. They have pretty much my go to pieces for the styles I like.
I was also able to meet the owner, Britton. I’m so proud of this local business, and I’m completely inspired because this is something I would one day like to start as well. My own little boutique, but that will have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, I think it is super important to support our local entrepreneurs. I’m excited to continue exploring more local shops here in Reno.
My top in this outfit is from BLFT, and I purchased it for less than $25, great price! I love how flowy and long it is because it covers my booty. Follow them on their social media so you know where their next event is. I love shirts like that. The reason I picked it up is because first off, I love stripes, and secondly, because of the neck choker detail. It is so easy to pair it with jeans, shorts, leggings, etc.
I was on the lookout for jeans like these, and was so happy that American Eagle had them on discount. I was able to purchase them for $29 (still on sale). They are trending right now and honestly, fit perfectly. FYI – they are low rise. My bomber jacket is from OOTDFash and although they don’t have mine on the website anymore, I linked a similar one. I have a 15% discount with them, just use PATTYG15!
