Back to the basics

I've been really casual lately wearing my basic crop tops. I'm sure you know by now but crop tops are my all time favorite thing to wear. For me crop tops and leotards are so easy to wear because I don't have to worry about tucking my shirt in throughout the day. I don't know whats worse, trying to tuck your shirt in or having to keep pulling up your pants? Anyway, I like to pair my crop tops with either heels or tennis shoes and voila! you have a cute, basic outfit. I really hate the word basic but the word is so fitting right now. With this outfit I decided to do some all white tennis shoes. Everyone should own a pair of all white tennis, duh! Tennis shoes are so easy to dress up and make your outfit look stylish and still comfy. With this basic outfit, I decided to just throw on a denim skirt. You can even wear a mini skirt, pencil skirt, or a maxi skirt, whatever you are the most comfortable in. A skirt can make your simple, casual outfit look fun and girly. I got this acid wash denim skirt from the American Apparel warehouse in downtown LA for $15! CRAZY cheap compared to the actual American Apparel store, dang near free.

***If you're ever visiting LA, going to the American Apparel warehouse is a must on your to-do list.*** 

 

Did I mention I love how this crop top fits? It's stretchy cotton material and really soft. I fell in love with it so I had to buy it in 3 colors. I mean why not, it was only $9.90 from Zara! My shoes are actually my work uniform shoes but they are giving me old reebok vibes. I thought they were perfect for this outfit. Can you say soccer mom chic? haha. In the attempt to keep things spicy, check out our mini ootd video below with me and @redlipstickstain in our basic outfits!

{My Metallics}

Let's talk about these bad boys right here. These metallic Oxfords are life! I've worn them three different ways since I got them and they make my outfits look BOMB! First things first these oxfords were only $49.90 from Zara. That's basically free lol. Not really but for some shoes that look expensive that's a really good price. 

 

I decided to pair it with my white vest because it gives that boyish look that I'm really into right now. But if you want more than one look, you can take the vest off and have more of a causal outfit. Of course I have on a crop top and some boyfriend jeans because that's the easiest style to pull off. 

This isn't about the purse but my new backpack purse is my favorite accessory right now! The multiple colors and the silver detail match my loud shoes perfectly! If you're somebody that likes your accessories to speak for you then these shoes are for you!

Beach With No Sand...

 It's the beginning of March and I'm already trying to find my way to the nearest beach. This Cali weather doesn't call for a bathing suit just yet, but you can always dress like you're going to the beach, right!?! I found these fun, beach…

 

It's the beginning of March and I'm already trying to find my way to the nearest beach. This Cali weather doesn't call for a bathing suit just yet, but you can always dress like you're going to the beach, right!?! I found these fun, beachy pants at Zara (of course) and I fell in love. They were ONLY $29.90 so you know I had to get them. They have a matching long tunic if you're into two-piece matching sets. I wanted to give it a little of my own style so I paired it with this blush tone sweater from H&M and tied it up in the front. 

 

I like the idea of going to the beach to just relax with no intentions of getting in the water or getting my feet in the sand. I decided that this casual outfit was perfect for the occasion. I threw on my new all white Adidas to give it that sporty/casual look. I also added my shades and suede handbag from my last post to give it a girly touch. 

 

It was extremely cold closer to the water, so after we enjoyed the Manhattan Beach Pier we walked away from the beach and shopped a little. That's when my fresh white Adidas came in hand. It was such a good relaxing way to start off the month of March. Next time your near a beach go enjoy the scenery without getting your feet in the sand and don't forget to take some pictures in your new beach outfit!
