I always wear my best outfits to work.
Which, I guess, is kinda understandable. As a girl who loves to wear short skirts with halter/off-the-shoulder/tank tops, I'm simply forced to get creative under my work's "skirts-past-knees," "no-armpits-showing," and "closed-toed-shoes" dresscode.
As a result, I give you this: I paired one of my only (and favorite) t-shirts with a new velvet skirt I purchased at a thrift store (my co-worker today asked if I bought it at American Apparel, which made me very very happy considering it only cost about $2). The skirt, while being very chic and sleek, wasn't too distracting considering it's midi length. Also, I felt like the iconic "NEW YORK CITY" label on my t-shirt gave it an urban-y/metropolitan kinda vibe. I digged it.
Again, close-toed-shoes, so I opted for my go-to ankle boots.

The sun beat down on us all pretty hard today, and the breeze that sometimes flittered by hardly comforted me from that fact. Luckily, I dressed for the occasion.
I brought my stepdad's old snapback hat and my own pair of tinted circle sunglasses to shade my face from the sunlight. My knitted top fit loosely over my floral printed bikini, which kept me feeling breezy throughout the day. Lastly, I slipped on a pair of my reliable white sandals, which was only practical considering I'd be dragging my feet through the sand all day.
My favorite part about this outfit was the bathing suit. The tropical print reminds me of some kind of floral drawing you'd see on a Hawaiian postcard. I'm always in a summer vibe when I put those pieces on.
Plus, the fact that it makes my boobs look great isn't so bad either.

(The second photo really shows the extent of my modeling capabilities, doesn't it?)
First of all, don't worry, my boobs are covered.
I knew that I would be going to a lot of different places today, so I settled for a comfortable and casual look. My light denim jacket, white circle skirt, and white sandals really emphasized that casual vibe, while my floral printed bralette added a boho touch to the overall outfit.
The thing that I love about this skirt is that it literally goes with every outfit. You can easily dress it up or down, so this bottom is definitely a staple piece in my closet. However, despite its merits, I really think I should start buying some new skirts so I'm not always wearing this one. The tricky thing about having clothes that match with literally everything is that your look may start to get a little repetitive.
Anyway:

In case you didn't know, Night At The Museum is probably within the top 5 of my Guilty Pleasures Movie List (which is totally a thing).
My parents have decided to leave me home alone again for two days, so, naturally, my friend (Lauren) and I have taken a little rendezvous to the Natural History Museum.
For our shenanigans after the museum, I unfortunately did not take any photos, but I'll tell you what we did anyway.
After the Natural History Museum, we headed out to Larchmont Bungalow, where we ate over-priced and pretty-looking sandwiches. We walked up and down that street for a bit and checked out some clothing stores, too. Finally, we finished off the night by going to Da Poetry Lounge for the first time - a really great experience that I 10/10 recommend if you're ever in the area! We've both always been really into spoken word, and finally seeing it performed live was a dream come true.
