The Pocket Butterfly

 

 

As I write this post at 3am, I wonder why I don't wait till morning in hopes of having a better intro. Oh well ,what a great way to start off summer by editing a blog post when I should be sound asleep in my warm cozy bed. I'm not lying when I say that this day was gloomy, wet and the rain was constantly on and off all day. But, never the less, I wanted to blog!

Today I decided to wear a pair of shorts that have been the most difficult thing to wear because they are a size 16. Yes, you read that right, a size 16! Let's just say no matter how little time you have to shop or how cheap the item is, try it on it before you buy it! It will be to your benefit in the long run! Yes these shorts are about 10 sizes too big- but to fix the problem I tied them in the back and covered it with this pink throw on. (I bet no one would have noticed if I didn't even point it out).

High waisted shorts are the must haves for summer, they bring back a vintage vibe while still being "in". 

Statement necklaces are a great way to finish a look or make a look. When shopping for a statement necklace refer to these tips.

Tip 1 - Think of at least 3 things it will match.

Tip 2 - Get a color that will go with most of your wardrobe. (Neon yellow and orange are not the best choice)

Tip 3 - Go cheap! The less you spend on one the more you can buy.

Stores I recommend for statement necklace- Rue 21, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Target, Local thrift stores.

 

My hair was curled with velvet hot rollers and braided back to make my my look chic and casual.

Red Lips and Red Nails finish off any look by giving your outfit a little class and sophistication.

Tip - don't overdue your lipstick-- a little red can go a long way so make sure your lipstick completes your outfit and face, not makes you look like a clown.
