I almost didn't post this outfit because when I saw the pictures, I decided I didn't like the way it looked as an ensemble and also because apparently that I only wear maxis + vest + sneaks when I go out. Last week I wore kinda the same thing here and so this week, instead of breaking into my sister's house, she was kind enough to snap the pictures for me. She's nice that way. She also makes a good cookie, so there's that too.
Things I like about this outfit? The backpack, the shoes and the sunglasses. So basically everything except the actual clothing, which was just kinda blah to me. I think what this needed was a belt or something, but I'm not a fan of the belt so live and let live. Or learn. Or whatever.
Outfit deets: Sunglasses, Vest, Maxi (old, but while searching for it, I found this dress that I now want and would probably have looked better with this outfit. Okay, you've convinced me, I'll order it) , Shoes (also couldn't find the Shoreline in pink, so Sarah and I definitely picked winners on our Vegas trip. I like these ones too) , Backpack and Necklace (from Stella Dot but I also couldn't find it but would have ordered this one that Christy ordered instead. Also- did you know my friend Shaunacey is now a consultant? Let her hook you up).
And since I'm not 1000% proud of today's look, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some August looks of the past. That has been my favourite feature of having a Mac, I love that all my pictures are sorted by the date they were snapped.

You are just taunting me with vests :P. I did finally order a utility vest though. Pretty stinking excited about that one. There are some days I am 1000% convinced that I need my blunt bangs back too. Then I just tell myself I'll love them for a short time and be so over it again. UGH.
ReplyDeleteYou are crazy - I like your outfit. Especially how the shoes and necklace match.
ReplyDeleteYou should be totally confident in today's OOTD! Classic maxi and denim! Love it!

I like this outfit - it would be perfect for Paris :)! And that last picture - so adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhy mess with a good thing? I think that outfit is great!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great! And yes to the shoes! We did pick good my friend :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your hair in that last pic! Whatever you did with it, it looked amazing!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the shoes.
ReplyDeleteso much to comment on, I LOVE the outfit and have a special spot for the accessories lol On that note, thanks for the shoutout! You're the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteCan we talk about how freaking cute your kids are?! BAH come move next door, we can drink wine, try on jewelry (I can play with your shoes) and the kids can catch Pokemon (okay, I might join them with Willis' help lol)
I hate it when I felt happy in something and I'm just not impressed when I look at the pics :( But I really like this outfit! love pink and grey so the bright converse are a winner for me! :) And I'm in maxis so much over summer too :)

Diggin' the bangs, for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou and Christy have got me wanting to wear converse with a dress so badly haha. Maybe if it's not rainy like they say I will do it tomorrow! Love the hair and love the best over the dress too. The whole look is great as always!
ReplyDeleteI think you are being hard on yourself, because that outfit is cute! I love your sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteHey, you got farther than me on a meh outfit. Even if it isn't that meh in my option. I tried to take photos of one the other day, looked at a few, and was like nope nope nope. Went back into the the house and gave up on picture taking.
ReplyDeleteI love those bangs!!!!! I always wanted bangs like that but I was told my multiple hairdressers that I can't pull them off :) I will echo Laura's comment that you always look awesome and you are way too hard on yourself, though looking and feeling awesome are completely different so I do get that. Happy back to school (I heart that little backpack)!
ReplyDeleteThat is true, it was quite comfy. Thanks, friend!
ReplyDeleteGetting closer and closer to wanting them seriously.
ReplyDeleteI wish I would have worn it after I posted...I think I would have been way more confidant with all these comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteit is a pretty necklace
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly my problem with hair in general..I grow it out then want it short then cut it short and want it long then cut some bangs and hate myself.
ReplyDeleteThat makes them that more special to me :)
ReplyDeleteTrue...I should almost remake this outfit again.
ReplyDeletePerfect for Paris if I was going with you ;(
ReplyDeleteImagine the shenanigans if we lived that close to one another! Brent would be so sick of me!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew....Hmmmmm....
ReplyDeletebhaahahhaa- I hear ya!
ReplyDeleteI tend to be that way more often than not :(
ReplyDeleteYes for the dress!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMoi also
ReplyDeleteIt was super comfy!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's the fun part of taking the pictures!
ReplyDeleteugh- happy back to school to you too!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see some of your past looks! Your pink sneakers are too cute! I recently pulled out my denim vest and have been wearing it on repeat.
