Jeans? Durning the Summer?

For those jean lovers out there I know that even in this hot weather you refuse to stick your favorite pair in the back of your closet.
Jeans have their place and here is an example of one of my favorite jean summer outfits.

The jeans are Pacsun's Bullhead Black brand and I am in love with them. The light wash color makes them the perfect summer jeans and the fact that are jeggings is even more of a plus because they don't lose shape after an hour of wearing them. These are a great jean and a great brand and I would suggest adding them to your closet. A tip from me, don't buy these online, make sure you go to a store and try them on to make sure you feel comfortable in them because you should NEVER buy jeans that don't fit you just right. 

The top is also one of my favorites. I got it on a summer trip to Charleston, South Carolina from this shop called Willy Jay's. Not only does this top look good underneath the denim vest it can also be rocked without the vest, tucked into a pair of jeans. 

A big trend of the summer is cuffing your jeans. What I did was roll them over twice it add flair to your outfit while also making your outfit cooler during a hot day.

Don't be shy! Please comment and give me your feedback on the outfit and tell me what you want to see!

Socks

Let me just start by saying that I love socks, like I really do and despite the fact that it is summer I still find ways to wear them.

A great way to give your heels a new look is by pairing them with a fun patterned pair of socks.
I suggest going to Target to find cheap socks, this pair came in a pack of four and wasn't more than 7 dollars.
(I got these size 7 Calico shoes from Goodwill for four dollars! Perfect condition too!)

While solids are a staple and have their place in your wardrobe, like with these really cute boots of mine, be adventures and buy patterns along with your solids.
(Urban Outfitters, on sale, seriously, stake their sale sections you will find wonderful things!)

So try a pair of socks to add to your summer heels, not only will they add to your outfit they will also keep you warm for those cool summer nights!



MakeMeChic

Flipping through my Seventeen magazine I noticed that a lot of the clothes were from a shop called MakeMeChic.
Now it is a good shop don't get me wrong, but it is good in a different way than most of the places that I like to shop at.
For me, who has more of a girly, 60's, vintage style, it is a lot of bright colors and its more of a place that I would walk away with one or two pieces, not an entire outfit.
Now, don't misunderstand me I would love those pieces till they were no longer wearable, because that is the type of shop that when you do find something you like, you find something that you love.
There skirts hail more on the simple side, focusing more on bandage skirts with a color block pattern.
I am in love with their collection of shorts, for example this pair, seriously I want them so badly.
But since it is summer color is what is in and, in my opinion, one bright piece paired with darker clothing makes a dreary rainy day much more enjoyable, so here is another pair of shorts that I am in love with!
I love the shirt as well but for me, I would pair the outfit with a light brown belt instead of the black, but I still love the outfit!
So go check out MakeMeChic because even if they don't carry your specific style you never know what gems you could find to help spice up your closet!
