A Simple Way to Dress up Jeans >>>

I put together the perfect outfit the other day. By simply layering a sheer top (forever21) over a simple tank (Skyline Fever) and jeans outfit, it went from being kind of boring to just the right amount of comfort and style in one. And actually was even more comfy then just the jeans and tank b/c Im not much of a tank girl most of the time. So the kimono top was an extra layering of sheer comfort. Paired with my Blowfish flats = perfection. I really really enjoy the process of putting outfits together. I always have. And when you find something that just works on every level for yourself, that is golden!  I wore my Nanoukiko necklace again, which is the least amount of jewelry Ive worn in a long time.  Every now and then I love to just let one simple piece stand out.  I think this will be my go to outfit when Im in a funk and need some comfort but still want to feel good.  Ive had these jeans for about 10 years now and still love them!
*because I get asked alot -- the curtains are from World Market and the macrame owl was thrifted*

Do you have a go to outfit that is your comfort???  Oh, and speaking of Blowfish shoes, you should check out my last post to see some of their amazing new styles!!  You can get this print above in a wedge now!  Holy moly!

PEACE,
Laura

Threads - Stripes Stripes Stripes >>>

Yesterday the boy and I went on a date, just for the heck of it.  He asked me a few days ago if I wanted to, and of course I said yes!  We both had some gift cards to spend in a few special places so that was on our list of to do's.  I got a really pretty shirt at Anthropologie!!!  We listened to Nirvana the whole way there, it was fun and nostalgic.  We of course got some Starbucks, although we always wish there were a more down to earth local option around, but that is not the case around us.  The one coffee shop we have in our town that we would go to closes at 2:30 everyday!  Way too early if you ask me.  Then we grabbed some pear and procuitto pizza at our fav pizza place.  All in all it was a nice night spent with my boy.  I think its way important to take time out with your main squeeze when you can!


I wore a new favorite outfit too, full of striped goodness.  I scored this awesome shirt from The Rocker Shop on etsy a few weeks ago.  Love it!  My favorite outfits are ones that are super cute, but equally as comfortable, like this long tee with leggings, ahhh... It was cold out so I layered up.  I wore my striped Noni beanie.  You can find these through Poor Pitiful Pearl during select times.  Her hubbies sweet grandmother makes them, how cool is that!! She just happens to have a few in the shop right now, which is rare, so grab one if you see one you cant live without b/c they dont last long!!!  I also just got this darling necklace in the mail from Natacha of Nanoukiko.  I love the colors of it... I wore it again today. (She is offering 25% of everything in her shop to my readers this month, see details under the sponsor spots).  And.... do you see this amazing bracelet adorning my wrist????  I freaked when I first saw Danielle of Flourish Leather release these babies.  So so beautiful.  She so kindly gifted me one, because she is stellar like that!  I love it.  Have worn it every day since I got it.  Eeeekkk!  (I also wore my simple gray braided one from her too).  And of course, my fav Blowfish boots... cant get enough of these babies.

PEACE,
Laura
