Coral Sandals and Grungy Shorts

Hey there everybody!!
So..... some exciting news, my baby sister is one week old today!!
If anyone's wondering: Yes, she's super-cute! Also super-chubby, and kind of red, and apparently she's my mini-me, and her name is Lylah.
Okay, I'm done.

Anyway, here's my outfit for today. I wanted to wear my kind-of-grungy shorts, so I grabbed a flowy, loose, striped tank, some cute coral sandals of Brooke's, and finished it off with gold rings and earrings!



(Funny story for this next pic: My mom and I went into her studio to take the pics, and she went, "Hmmm, what should we do for these.... I think that stool may be too tall..." So, as a joke, I did the whole model squat-and-fake-laugh pose, and she went, "Yeah! Stay there..."
So I had to sit like that for like, five minutes stright. But hey, at least my thigh muscles look really good.  :P)






 And if you just read this entire post, I'd like to reward you by saying that I have no idea where you can get any of these clothes, so I'm not even going to bother this time....
Also, I think it'd be nice to tell you about a song that I'm currently in love with, which is this cover of Imagine Dragons' Demons done by Anthem Lights. (Hypothetical demons, it's not actually demonic/satanic...) Also, if you haven't seen the original music video, I highly recommend you watch it as well.
A-ma-zing
Well, see y'all in a couple of weeks!

Nautical Stripes

Hello lovelies!
I recently bought this dress and I love it! I don't have any nautical jewelry, so I just put on some of my delicate gold jewelry. I love that you can give this dress a casual or sporty look, depending on what you wear with it. Plan on seeing this dress again, maybe with some sneakers next time!

Dress: White Plum // Sandals: DSW // Jewelry: Gifts // Lipstick: L'Oreal Color Riche, British Red

Keep Calm and Carry On,
Mercy

Lots of Maxi Skirts!

Hello everybody!

I'm a few days late and extremely exhausted due to the fact that the maxi skirts I ordered only arrived yesterday and I am in the middle of crunch week for the acting program I'm in, but my mom and I managed to find some time last night to have a photo shoot and, well, one thing lead to another and I ended up having three outfits instead of just one!

This first outfit reminds me of Downton Abbey! It would be great for a dinner, winter party, or other formal gathering, but is very comfortable.  I paired a button down blouse with a fluid chiffon skirt for a very elegant, romantic look. And the shoes. I love these shoes so much! Their vintage flair is cute and stylish, but the low heel makes them easy to walk in.

This next look makes me feel like a Greek goddess! I paired a comfortable but classy chiffon peter pan-collared blouse with the same skirt and shoes. And, for a more put-together style, it's easy to tuck in the top and define the waistline better.

This outfit is so fun and comfortable! Great to throw on quickly for some summer shopping downtown or you could throw a denim jacket over it for the chillier months. I matched this classic boat-neck top with a fun pop of color in the skirt and an edgy statement bracelet.
