Olive & Black Jeans

What I really wanted to name this post was, “Leaves?!” Haha I’m clearly excited! I’m not a fan of cooler weather at all, but watching the trees change color and walking out to leaves on the ground each fall makes the outdoors a little more inviting.

Also, isn’t olive such a fall color?! I know I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s one of my favorite colors! This top is an old one and it keeps getting cozier with each wash. I linked a similar and super cute one from Old Navy and it comes in 7 colors! That’s almost too many options, except I’m a girl and I love options. Ok ya’ll, I need to take a sec and talk about my love-hate relationship with black jeans. I love them, but I never know if they’ll come out faded after the first wash. Let’s be real, no matter how careful you are with separating colors and using special detergent, there’s a chance your black jeans will fade. Sure enough, my H&M jeans faded some after the first wash. Normally I’d be upset, but 1) these jeans are so inexpensive that it’s not that big of a deal and 2) they made my jeans look comfy and worn-in so I guess I’m diggin’ it! If you have any secrets to keeping black jeans in tippy top conditions, leave a comment and let me know. Happy Monday!

Joggers, No Jogging

Happy Monday, friends! How was your weekend? I had my first margarita ever, which was pretty tasty, and then I took the party on over to the movie theater to watch IT. It was so good! I never saw the original, but if you like scary movies, I know you’ll enjoy it.

I wore this dressed down look out to breakfast with a friend and for some reason, even though I wear workout leggings to class almost every day, I felt more sporty than usual in these joggers. They kind of give off a vibe that says, “I’m trying to look put together but not that much,” which is totally me most mornings! This top is pretty cool ya’ll. It’s asymmetrical with the ties on the side of the shirt that can be left hanging down, tied to the side, tied in the front, or tied in the back for a crop top style. It’s that versatile(!) but I decided to tie it in the front. Unfortunately the top is an old one, so I linked similar asymmetrical ones that can be tied similarly. Also, I did an entire post earlier on how to keep clean shoes, and here I am wearing the same pair again because I like them that much. White shoes are an easy pairing for a lot of looks and I think everyone needs a pair of white sneaks. They match with nearly everything and are easy to walk in so it’s a win-win! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Paperbag Shorts

You always think you know everything about yourself, until you don’t. In this case, I had yet to own anything in an olive color for fear of looking like I belonged in the army (it’s pretty obvious I’m not in the army, but someone might get confused with these big biceps of mine!). Well, these paper bag style shorts were too cute to pass up on! I’ve seen them in so many different colors, but it seems to me that the pleats and bow details of these shorts were more visible in a lighter color like this olive versus black for example. With this shade of green appearing a little more masculine, I opted for a neutral tank with a beaded neckline of alternating pearls and rhinestones for a softer look. The tank is a little low and I could’ve added a necklace, but the details on the neckline are pretty enough as is! This look was shot in the hot Texas summer, but as a transition into fall, I can totally see myself rocking these shorts in this neutral sweater and these bootiesWhat are your favorite olive colored pieces in your wardrobe?
