Pour Aujord'hui (okay, yes, technically yesterday)

So, of course I haven't started sorting my things to move into the new house.
I'm too lazy to do so! haha
Maybe I'll start this weekend, I haven't got much time left :P

Today was another lazy day for me ... I can't help it.
This is the first summer in about 5 years that I'm not doing some type of summer school or volunteer work (yes, volunteer work, not paid job).
And I think that doing nothing at all is kind of starting to take a toll on me, fashion-wise ... kind of.
I'll shower at 5:00pm and then get dressed hahaha




Tunic Shirt: Forever 21
Wide Legged Jeans: BCBG
Bright Yellow Bandeau Top: Forever 21
Rings: I got them in some random NYC thrift stores ... I miss NYC!

Para el Día de Hoy

So, yes, I am tired of summer. Why? Simply because I have nothing to do.
I was supposed to work this summer, but then I decided to finish up my Social Service hours (I need 190 more hours).
So I applied to various Services, and the one I got accepted to (which gives me 196 hours) doesn't start until mid-July.
This means that I applied for no jobs, I won't be doing summer school, and I'm stuck doing nothing at home.
haha, that explains why I'm so sick of it already.

Today I wore one of my favorite skirts.
It's so flowy and light, I love it.
And then the colors and the pattern are just brilliant, in my opinion.
And of course, I'm addicted to skirts because of the hot weather we have here where I live. I suppose I'm not the only one, though, living with temperatures ranging in the 80s-90s F.



Shirt: got it after a swim meet (see the shark chasing the swimmer?)
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Enzo Angiolini (I've had those since High School, I think this is like the 7th time I ever wear them)
Hair Brooch: D.I.Y. by a friend
Belt: TOUS

Pour Aujord'hui

So it's summer for me already ... which means that I've been waking up at 2:00pm just because I want to eat.
Today was no exception.
I woke up at 2:00pm and I didn't shower until 5:00pm.
I'm tired of summer, already ... blah.

Para el Día de Hoy

I am super excited because this summer we will be moving into a new house.
Right now, my parents, my brother and I live in a small apartment that was meant to be for my brother and myself only.
However, after things got real bad in my hometown, my parents came over here.
These photos were taken at the new house.
It's still not completely finished, but we're getting there.
Yay!!!
Oh, and btw, I got tired of the dark green background ...


Shirt: got it at Target
Jeans: Seven7
Sandals: Sam Edelman
Bag: Vintage (flea market find!)

Pour La Soirée du Vendredi

So, way back when I was still in high school, I never would've been caught [willingly] wearing a dress. Unless it was because I had to (e.g., homecomings, proms, banquets, etc).

I was a tomboy (and a nerd), and I don't really blame anyone.
I think it was because I was on the swim team and I got along way better with the boys than with the girls. So, I was kind of a tennis shoes addict (yes, shoe addiction ... in a different manner, but still) and would always go around in jeans and tshirts.
Nowadays I take any opportunity to wear my cutest outfits, and Friday night was no exception.

Finals are over.
School is over.

School's out for summer!! (remember that song?)

Isn't the eyelet just plain beautiful??

Dress: Betsey Johnson
Sandals: Brantano (even though I've mentioned them before, this was my first time wearing them)
Belt: it came with a pair of pants
Ring: got it at a market back home
