    If you’ve been reading some of my previous posts, you might remember me complaining about how the weather was over 100 degrees. Well, I’m happy to say that weather finally cooled down a bit this weekend, and I quickly jumped at opportunity to put on an outfit that seemed somewhat appropriate for fall. One of my favorite parts about this outfit has to be this boxy crop top from Forever 21. It’s made out of comfortable terry material, and it has a really cool geometric pattern that reminds me of one of those mazes you find inside a coloring book. Just looking at the pattern almost makes me want to take a pen, and start tracing out a path.

     

    Life has been pretty busy for me lately, but in a good way. I really love having so many fun and creative projects to keep me busy. I’ve been working on learning how to sew, and making items to sell on my Etsy shop. I know that I’ve been talking about opening up an Etsy shop for a while, but I kind of underestimated how much work it would be. I also feel like I’m making all these random items, but really don’t know how to piece them together. I really want to make it a goal to get my shop up and running by the end of next month. On that note, I really wish I had more hours in the day to dedicate to all of my hobbies, but I guess that I’ll just have to take advantage of my free time on the weekends.
    I hope your week is off to a great start!

    P.S. I have to confess that my favorite thing about this outfit has to be the light blue socks that I’m wearing, because they have donuts and sprinkles on them. My sister Ale got them for me because she knows how obsessed I am with quirky things like that. If you look closely enough, you’ll see them peeking through in between my boots and the hem of my jeans.

    Ready for Fall

    Although I love how fun and lively summer usually is, I’m ready for a change in season. L.A. is experiencing an intense heat wave, and it has been over one hundred degrees all week. It’s supposed to start cooling down in the next few days, and I never thought that I’d be as excited as I am about ninety-degree weather.
    Over the weekend, I found these outfit photos that I took earlier this year, but never got around to posting for some reason.  When looking at them, I can’t help but to think about how much I like this outfit and how I would like to wear it again once the weather cools down. It also makes me think of all of the other pieces in my wardrobe that have been collecting dust because it’s just too hot to wear anything at all. I’m really ready for fall to arrive so that I can bring out all my sweaters and boots, and so that I can have some time to recover from this intense heat wave until the next one arrives.

    Red Shift Dress

    Shopruche Ikat Print Dress
    Lotta from Stockholm Peeptoe Clogs
    Target Belt
    Madewell Leather Bag
    Forever 21 Sunglasses
    I’ve been wearing this shift dress at least once a week, ever since I bought from Ruche about a year ago. I love the Ikat print and hints of teal throughout the fabric, and it’s just one of those pieces that I can just throw on whenever I can’t think of anything else to wear. That’s the great thing about a good dress, it makes getting dressed in the morning so much easier!
    As always, I’m already ready for the weekend! This past weekend was so fun and productive for me, and I’m hoping to keep the momentum going. As you may already know, one of my goals is to learn how to sew so that I can make some of my own clothes. This past weekend I made a good amount of progress on a skirt that I’m making–with a lot of help from my Mom, of course. She is crazy good at sewing, and is even teaching me how to sew without having to use patterns. However, I’m sure it will be a while before I get to the point where I’m that good of a seamstress, that I can just look at a piece of fabric and cut out any shape that I want. For now, I just want to focus on finishing that skirt! I guess I’ll just have to wait a few more days for that.
