Today Sheer Is Beautiful: Lace & Green

Hi everyone! So this is my very first fashion post. I really hope I can stay consistent with this. Today I reunited with one of my high school best friends, Megan. She moved to Montana at the end of our Junior year of high school, and broke not only the majority of the boys in our classes hearts, but mine as well. Today though, she came back for a visit, and after a year and a half of not seeing her beautiful face, you can only imagine how ecstatic I was to be embraced in her arms for the first time in what felt like forever. After I was able to spend a couple hours with the beautiful Megan (which was not merely enough), I went to a concert with my sister. Colbie Calliet and Gavin Degraw were headlining at a beautiful venue that's a minute walk from the bay. The weather was beautiful (but so hot), and it was the absolute perfect location to capture some pictures of my outfit. My kind sister was willing to take photos of me for my very first fashion blog post, so, here I go.


I got both the blouse and skirt from a BCBG Outlet for 9 dollars each. They are both from the brand Lola which is just a brand sold within BCBG. The skirt is a size small, and the top is a size large. The only available sizes left for the blouse was either an x-small or the large, and because I feel more comfortable in loosely fitted clothing, I opted for the large. I absolutely adore the lace detail on the back of the blush colored blouse, and am completely content with how it drapes. I'm actually quite glad that I got it in a large, for I feel I have more options when styling the top, and also it's not unreasonably cropped (like the x-small was) and exposing my tummy in an unflattering manner. I also love the pop of color the skirts gives to the entire outfit. I tucked the front of the shirt into the skirt to give it that more casual feel, and I added a skinny waist belt for a little bit of detail.







I added gold jewlerly to match the shoes and make the outfit a little bit more coordinated. I decided to wear these Jessica Simpson wedges for comfort, but I love the height it gives me.

I hope you guys were able to enjoy this post! I really enjoyed putting this together, and am glad that my constant inspiration toward my fashion taste has officially been publicized on this blog. I hope to continue making and gaining the inspiration it takes to create a sense of fashion that proudly defines who I am, and I really hope you guys can join this journey with me. Till next time!

Love,
Caroline
