Solosix

Well hi. It's been a while.

I'm not completely sure what my reason is for not posting in a while. It's more that 2 months went by without me even realizing it. And then I began debating if running an actual blog is even worth it these days or if I should just focus posting on instagram. And in the midst of that debating the company Solosix contacted me, and after seeing how amazing their stuff is I was able to make my decision to come back.

So I'm completely in love with this sweater. It's 100% Alpaca wool so it's super soft, and was inspired by 70s Olympic skiwear. I absolutely love the neckline and the stripes on the arms make it super interesting, while being easy to style. Solosix also places a lot of importance on knowing who is knitting their sweaters and making sure everything is ethically sound; which is a factor that has gotten more and more important to me the older I've gotten. This is definitely the type of clothing that you know is going to last you for years, which in my opinion is the best type of clothing. I truly believe in what this company is doing and represents, and I really urge you to check out their website and give them a follow on instagram!

Plaid & Fringe

THIS DRESS FEELS LIKE I'M WEARING A NIGHTGOWN OF A PILLOWCASE OR SOMETHING WONDERFUL. I could sleep in it. And wear it everyday. Castro is actually the best.

Also Castro has a bunch of new arrivals that are killing me over here. I need all of these. 

Ode to the Jumpsuit

One trend I'm all about right now is the jumpsuit. I've teamed up again with Motel to show three different ways I would style a jumpsuit. Comfortable, but not always easy to wear, this task ended up being a fun challenge for me. I've always loved jumpsuits and have been really been looking for a good one for this fall. This one is a dream. Not only is it the perfect fit and style, but it is literally the most comfortable thing ever. And it has pockets. 

If I was going to a farmers market or doing something girly on a Sunday 

My first instinct when putting on this jumpsuit was to pair it with my denim jacket. I decided to give it a more retro illusion by adding on a leather belt.

If I wanted to dress it up more without being too girly

I've also been obsessing over tan trench coats lately (I found this London Fog one at a thrift store for $2, holla) so it was the next natural thing for me to try over this jumpsuit. I loved the baggy-ness of the jumpsuit mixed with the long trench coat. I decided to balance out the tomboy vibe by adding a statement necklace and simple heels.

How I would wear it to class 

For this final look I decided to play up the comfort of the jumpsuit by adding my two favorite go to pieces in my wardrobe currently. White high tops were a must, and this hat literally goes with everything so naturally I added it. I threw on some reflective sunglasses from zeroUV to dress up the look a little bit. (Also, I finally went to Salvation Mountain!!!!!)

Oh and the best part? You can get this dream of a jumpsuit for yourself right now ON SALE (and anything else that will make your dreams come true). Today through Monday, Motel is offering 25% everything on the site, so now is your opportunity! It will change your life. Ok maybe not your life, but it will make getting dressed in the morning a little more fun.

Some of my thoughts for the new month:

1. Junior year has brought a lot of uncertainty. I'm trying to figure out how to be comfortable with that.

2. I'm not sure why I didn't invest in a pair of Converse much sooner. I forgot shoes could be so comfortable.

3. My hair is getting long. And I think I'm going to actually let it be long for a while. Maybe.

4. When I was asked the question, "Where do you find your escape?" I realized that for me it is in good conversation.

5. I'm really tired of warm Southern California weather.
