Hello! It’s been quite a while since my latest OOTD post, so I thought I’d reward you with…. A video. I’ve been quite inspired by YouTube videos lately, so I’ve decided to start a channel for look books, outfit videos, hauls, etc. It won’t be my main focus, but it’ll be fun every once in a while. Anyways, this OOTD is a pretty colorful one, with a lot of layers and details, (plus a cool location) but I quite like it. Hopefully you will too!
What I Wore: Tangerine Crochet Crop Top $17.95 (DIVIDED @ H&M)//Basic Black Jersey Top $5.95 (H&M)//White Midi Skirt with Black Polka Dots $11 (ASOS)//Black Wide-Brimmed Fedora $19.99 (Forever 21)//Black Sneakers with White Bottom (Cole Haan)//Baggy Leather Jacket (Unknown)
The majority of the time when I’m contemplating what to wear I go back to a few favorite bloggers of mine, and a particular Pinterest board full of street style, and blogger OOTDs. Today was a little different though, instead I was inspired by a trend I’ve been enjoying lately, crop tops with midi skirts. To make this OOTD worthy of blogging about, I decided to layer a little, even though it is warmer. Since the weather’s been warmish, yet not hot I added this basic black t-shirt, and a crochet crop top. The colors are quite bright, and the combination isn’t too thick. I also think the colors compliment each other really well, and balance the monochromatic midi skirt.
Hail the world of summer hats… If you saw my last post, then you’d know I have quite the obsession with and collection of flower crowns and hats alike. I couldn’t help but accessorize this outfit with this felt, wide-brimmed fedora from Forever 21. It was super windy today, so I did have to chase this hat once on the the way to the bus in the morning, but it was worth it. I thought this added a lot to the outfit, especially since I didn’t wear any other accessories. It adds that really “effortlessly cool” vibe to everything, and is super easy just to throw on and go. Besides, who wouldn’t want to wear a hat?
My favorite part of this OOTD is all the different layers, specifically the top half. The basic black shirt underneath the crochet top matches the black polka dots and shoes, yet the crochet top adds a bright pop of color. And this top! It’s one of my new favorites, particularly because of the detail. All the little shapes cut out of the fabric make really pretty pictures, and the wavy hem at the bottom is a nice touch. But can we talk about this jacket? I was a little hesitant to add such a big, baggy piece, but altogether I think it looks very nice. The bagginess also makes this a really cozy wear. Oh, and the collar. This may be my favorite part of the whole piece because it’s so unique, and quirky, yet it’s also a really subtle addition to the overall design of the jacket.
