infusion catwalk.

As someone with Crohn's that mostly works from home or freelance (not a traditional 9 to 5), going to doctors and the infusion center is a bit of a catwalk for me and I like to get dressed up. I also like to dress 'happy' to help calm myself because being hooked up to an IV with serious meds for a few hours every six weeks is pretty intense (and sometimes anxiety-inducing)! Here's my lewk: I'm wearing: thrifted tops, gap jeans, gifted sven clogs, coach backpack, amazon headband, old sunglasses, vintage belt  

green like a cactus.

Image
I can't stop wearing green this Summer, especially this wrap skirt. I love how it brings out the green of my cactus and the other plants in my neighborhood in photos.  I'm wearing   thrifted hat, thrifted tank top, coach bag, gifted sven clogs  Do you love green too? What colors do you wear it with? xx

Look at my newest Coach bag! It's technically for men but pshh it's the perfect size and shape for me!

I took some really rushed pics this time just to get a feel for this go-to summer look I'm wearing : thrifted tank top and skirt, thrifted fossil bag, gifted sven clogs  The turquoise patent clogs are truly a dream pair of shoes come to life! I'm obsessed. xx

Summer jeans I'm okay to wear...

Image
I don't love wearing jeans in general, especially in the super-hot Arizona Summers but I love the fit and style of these 90s-inspired Gap jeans I've recently bought for myself and can't help but wear them on repeat. When I'm not sure what to wear, I grab these or my other Gap jeans I've recently bought that are more of a relaxed fit wide leg.  I'm wearing : secondhand tee from my mom, gap jeans, gifted sven clogs, nordstrom rack hat, stella mccartney thrifted sunglasses, coach fanny pack from eBay Do you wear jeans in the hot weather? What's your fave denim brand? xx  

green & black.

Image
This thrifted wrap skirt has become one of my most-loved pieces that I gravitate to! Here it is with a black and green color palette for a night out.  I'm wearing: thrifted Frame top, thrifted Loft skirt, etsy purse, poshmark loeffler randall x sven clogs Do you like black and green together? xx  

a vintage cactus skirt & a curly hair upgrade.

Image
The details on this vintage 90s era skirt with all the cacti and little southwestern motifs warms my heart. I wish it wasn't so sheer but I have plenty of slips so it's fine. IT is also pretty long on my 5'4 height, but unbuttoning some buttons makes my legs feel less drowning-in-fabric. I'm wearing: forever 21 hat, sundance thrifted tank, thrifted belt, thrifted fossil bag (FOR SALE), gifted sven mega platforms Also...these curls were brought to you (me?) by my new diffuser from my husband! I've been talking about wanting one for months and he surprised me with this pretty easy to use and nifty one from Target! I watched some youtube videos on how to use it and the whole process took maybe 20 minutes or less? Definitely way easier than blowdrying the typical way with a paddle brush and those painful barrel looking spiky brushes. I can straighten my hair in about the same amount of time but try to use heat only very sparingly!  Do you use a diffuser? What's you...

a dream shoe update.

Image
I've wanted these ugly-cute (as I say) coach brand chunky ballerina sneakers for years...I found them for only forty dollars on Mercari and took a chance and bought them in a size 8, even though I'm a 8.5 in Coach from experience to try them out. Of course, I fell in love and they were definitely too small.  Luckily, now I know that they ARE as great as I suspected and would go with SO many cool outfits (I even tried them with a bunch for an instagram reel). Now I can resell these (probably even make a few bucks since they are SUCH a rare style to find for sale anywhere) and save up and wait patiently for them to magically manifest in my size. I think I would take any color: black, this white/cream, or the baby pink colorway. I just really feel like these capture the high fashion MIU MIU and balenciaga ugly/cute/comfy/grandpa shoe aesthetic with a fun ballet twist and I am very into that vibe! What do you think? Cute? Hideous? Practical? My answer to 'sneakers and dresses...

madras is like plaid for rainbow lovers.

Image
I got this vintage eighties era rainbow plaid madras dress on Poshmark recently and I'm in love. At first, I thought the drop waist was very unflattering and I panicked, but then I realized 1.who cares? 2. it looks great with my fanny pack 3. I could always fold it up and belt it to look regular waisted/more hourglass shaped 4. it's super nice and flowy like this 5. but it has pocketsss! I'm wearing: poshmark dress, eBay coach rexy fanny pack, forever 21 hat, sven clogs from poshmark, thrifted stella mccartney sunglasses (that my husband HATES) lol  Do you like madras? What's your favorite way to wear it? xx
