how would you wear it?

Not one to resist a good Urban Outfitters sale, I snatched up this little number before coming to the sad realization that summer's (almost!) over. That being said, with a little creativity, there's surely a way I can wear this throughout the colder months ahead..

Which brings me to my question: how would you wear it this Fall?

think pink

I had this little tub of hair coloring sitting on my counter for weeks, just waiting to be used. A combination of end-of-semester craziness and some #BeautyChat-ing finally drove me to go pink!

One shampoo later and poof! Back to blonde just in time for class.
This stuff is my inner wild child's new best friend ;)

the 20/20 club

I know some of you have done it at one point in your lives: wished you had to wear glasses.
There was a time where I would longingly stare at frames of all different colors, shapes, and sizes, just hoping someday I'd need them. I'd sneakily try on my grandparents' pairs. I'd wait for Halloween to scour costume stores for them (nerdy duct tape and all). Alas, my 20/20 vision won out..

But as I got older, it hit me. So much of fashion is wonderfully functionally useless (cue jewelry, hula hoop bags, peplum, thigh-high gladiator sandals, collar necklaces). Elevating aesthetics over utility is arguably one of the things that makes fashion, well, fashion.

So why can't little old me partake in the ridiculousness? Rather than (stupidly) wish away my perfect eyesight, why not just hit up Urban Outfitters or ASOS for some clear-lensed specs? Well, ladies and gents, with a digital shopping trip and the help of photoshop, that's exactly what I did..

While some may scoff at the notion of wearing glasses when you don't actually need glasses, product descriptions that read "they don't provide any magnification and are only intended to make you look cute!" are reassuring affirmations that I'm not alone in my quest for per-spec-tion. Sure, they may be gratuitous, but in a style world that clearly celebrates and finds beauty in artistic madness.. why not?

So where do you stand in the clear specs debate? Fashion for all, or just for the few who need them?
And be honest, because I've already added these babies to my shopping cart ;)

new year's eve

There's no shortage of sparkle on New Year's Eve in our house! Just because we spend the night at home each year with our favorite people doesn't mean we sit around in PJs - when the clock strikes 12, we're in our brightest, most fun getups, champagne (or sparkling cider) in hand!

How do you spend New Year's Eve? And, more importantly, what do you wear?! ;)

neon

I was on the hunt for some neon bottoms, so when I saw these Gap shorts, I had to have them! Just the right amount of neon to make them endlessly wearable. This time I paired them with some color, but trust me - they make just as much of a bright statement on their own!

We have a super exciting week ahead of us in the Sorelle house - Sally's graduating tomorrow!
I can't believe my little sister's all grown up :)

See this top?! It was actually a too-short romper from Urban Outfitters that I just couldn't part with.
A few snips later, and now it's outfit-ready! That's what I call Urban Renewal.

romp around

There's something so effortless about a romper - maybe it's the whole "one-piece" thing, but whatever it is, it's comfortable and breezy and perfect for a weekend full of lounging around with family and friends!

Sibling love! Here's Frankie (our brother) making a rare blog appearance..

hot dotty

Nothing quite beats the feeling of handing in a 20 page term paper and knowing you're less than a week away from freedom (well, nothing in law school land, at least..). Summer's so close I can taste it! This means my love affair with flare jeans and boho accessories is starting to heat up once again..

Extra bonus points for the insane flared legs for their ability
to shield toes that are in desperate need of a pedicure.

black magic

My arms make their season debut! Although not without a scarf for back up - I
cruised around town with the top down yesterday, and I wasn't going to take any chances.
The fedora magically stayed put, even with the wind whipping in my face..

converse sneakers (available here)

My tank top from the lovely peeps over at Illustrated People arrived just in time for this mini heat wave!
If my creativity hadn't been chewed up and spit out by law school, it would've made shirts that looked like these.

And I would've worn them, every. single. day.

sugarlips

Since we were younger, Sally and I have loved Sugarlips for their super soft tank tops in a rainbow of colors.
So when they asked us to partner up, we were thrilled! It turns out as we grew up, they grew into a full line of
fun, trendy clothing, and we fell in love all over again.. This animal print cardigan is a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of an open-cardigan hoarder. They're so versatile - in an instant they can
dress up anything from a casual jeans-and-tee combo to a flowy summer dress.
(Or provide an easy way to rock Spring's cropped-top obsession without baring too much skin..)

A week of sunshine coming our way - let's hope I can wear this without a jacket soon!
