Repeat Offenders

Denim Vest: Forever21 -old- also styled here
Tank: basic white tank
Skirt: Plato's Closet {similar}
Sandals; Volcom also styled here & here
Bracelet: Forever21 -old-
Necklace: Forever21{similar} also styled here

Everything in this outfit is a repeat offender for me this summer. I literally wear these sandals all the time. They are my quick go to footwear. Super comfy, stylish and easy to pair with most things. Maxi skirts are awesome for summer. Very lightweight and easy to just throw on. And depending how you feel you can easily dress up or down.  

What are some of your summer repeat offenders?

Black & Purple



Dress: Charlotte Russe s/o {similar}
Necklace: Forever21
Sandals: Volcom

I love that this dress has tie string straps that you can self tie to any fit. The dangling bows makes for a cute detail to a maxi dress.  You can't tell so much in the pictures but my nails, necklace and ear studs are all shades of purple. A nice pop of colour to break up all the black! Today we had a family BBQ to celebrate some birthdays, it was perfect weather.

Oversized





Leather Jacket: Urban Behaviour
Maxi Dress: Target
Bralette: Forever21 s/o {similar}
Boyfriend Watch: Gojane s/o {similar}
Sandals: Volcom

I will apologize right now, these photos are terrible quality. I was hoping with a flash it would be better but it made them quite blurry.  Next time I will take night time photos inside.

Tonight was the night of oversized items. I've got on my oversized boyfriend watch and boy is it oversized. It would fall off my wrist if I put my arm straight, but I still love it. The dress I am wearing is too big, I don't know what I was thinking buying a large. It was on super clearance at Target and I didn't bother trying it on.  To make it a bit more fitted on the top I clasped the back straps together with a bow clip. I paired this outfit with a pair of strappy flip flop sandals that I've literally owned for nearly 5 years. Still in perfect condition and they still sell them!

In The City





Top: Forever21 {similar}
Skirt: Plato's Closet {similar}
Dog Tag Necklace: Stitches
Bracelets: Gifts

This past weekend Anthony & I went to Windsor to visit our close friend.  On our way out to lunch we walked pass the water front park and I figured it would make for some nice photos with downtown Detroit in the background. It was a gorgeous day out but a little bit windy! I'm glad I was able to get a good spring outfit in this weekend because we are expecting rain and storms until Friday :(

Plato's Closet Haul

This week we went shopping at Plato's Closet again! This time I sold some of my used clothing to the store ($38 worth) and put it towards our purchases today. You know what they say...One mans trash is another mans treasure. 

Lululemon Skort   reg 58.00  $25.00
The very first item I spotted in store was this awesome athletic skort by Lululemon! First of all, the pattern is so cute and summery my eyes were drawn right in. Upon further examination I was pleased to find it was Lululemon and that it was this super adorable skirt. Then I discovered the built in running shorts. Jackpot! Now I can look super cute while running and not flash the entire world. FYI the ruffles are on the back of the skort.

Under Armour Wind Breaker $20.00
Lightweight athletic jackets or wind breakers have become my new favourite thing, especially with the warmer weather upon us. This is perfect when going to the gym each morning when it's still not quiet warm out but not wanting to wear my winter coat. It looks great with a pair of  athletic leggings and my runners. Not to mention super comfortable and flattering. I couldn't find a reference price on this one because it's probably from last year but I'm guessing it's close to $100 retail.

Billabong Beach Pants reg $48.00 $16.00
These pants are perhaps my favourite find. While browsing through pinterest lately I saw a spring outfit that I just adored and it involved a pair of these palazzo pants. I was thinking where the heck will I find a pair of those? Luckily enough just two days later I stumbled upon these. They actually had a couple pairs to choose from but I liked this pattern best. Tip: since the material is so lightweight and thin, lighter colours/patterns are see through! 

Black Maxi Skirt $8.00
A black maxi skirt is a staple item that I'm honestly surprised I don't already own. I have one that is black & white striped however. I knew going into the store that I wanted one and knew they'd have one in some variety. This style is exactly the one I wanted because its the same style and "build' and - TBH, brand - as my other two maxi's which I love. Not sure on a retail price for this but I'm guessing $12.00 so not much of a steal here but still something I really wanted!

Sheer Neon Blouse $4.00
This blouse was on clearance at Plato's (Clearance on already cheap prices - I know!) I got it for 50% off.  When I saw this I had an outfit idea in mind so you should except to see a style post for it within the next week. It's such a simple cute top. The back has a cut out screen as well, perfect for displaying laced bralettes or caged tops. Neon pops of colour are a huge trend this spring especially when paired with neutrals.


Nike $18.00Adidas Men's Superstar 2 reg $110.00 $20.00 / Under Armour Sandals $6.00
These are 3 pairs of shoes that Anthony purchased for himself.  He will soon have a larger shoe collection than me! He got some amazing deals on these items. I don't have reference prices for the Nike's or UA but the Adidas were like 90% off. Need I say more?!

OOTD: Cut Out Maxi

 Today we FINALLY got to go to Port Dover Beach! I have been trying to go since June rolled around.  It's about a 45 minute drive so it needs to be when we have a day off. And it also needs to be on a day when its sunny! The weather has sucked so much lately. We are getting a crap summer. So today was nice, and it was my day off so I convinced Anthony to bring me. We took the motorcycle down and made a day of it. I needed to create a really simple light outfit for the beach since we were on the bike. Obviously I need to wear protective jacket and full pants on the bike for safety reasons so this dress was perfect to just throw on over my bathing suit once we got to the beach. 

I originally bought this dress online for a friend as a gift but once it arrived and I saw it in person I had to go and order one for myself. So now we have matching dresses :P

We also stopped and had lunch at one of the coastal restaurants, this is what it looked like. Surprise, poutine!
