Savannah Style

I was fortunate enough to take one last summer trip to Savannah as a graduation trip from my mom. It was also a birthday trip for her! We each brought a friend, and enjoyed four days in one of my favorite cities in the world.

Pre-Vacation Outfits

Since I only have a few photos of each of these outfits, and none of them are spectacular, I decided to just combine them. I got a bit behind, since I was gone for nearly two weeks. Also, good news! As of today, I am an official Starbucks employee :) That unfortunately means less outfits, but also more money! I am happy to be employed, especially at a place that I already frequently visit.

I wore this out to dinner with my mom the night before I left for Cape Cod. We ate at Table 2, a nice restaurant downtown, and it was absolutely delicious.
earrings- Charming Charlie, maxi dress- Target
This outfit was so casual that I really couldn't even be bothered to photograph it, so I just snapped a few pics in Photo Booth.
necklace- Charming Charlie, bracelet- H&M, tunic- Rue 21, and leggings (not pictured)- Miley Cyrus for Walmart
Another mom date! I love those days. We matched, so I had to have a picture.

dress- Norma Komali for Walmart, belt- vintage, wedges- TJMaxx, bracelet- Forever 21
I think I was in a hurry to get dressed here, but I ended up liking the outfit and wishing I had taken more photos. Oh, well.

Rock Star

You know when it's the middle of the summer, and you have to shave your legs every day since all of your clothing is tiny? Well, I didn't feel like being summery a few days ago. I went with some skinny jeans and a t-shirt. This is very unlike my usual style, but I like to mix it up a bit sometimes.

wolf shirt- Hot Topic, purple skinny jeans- Charlotte Russe, sandals and bangle- Forever 21

Festival Dress

My city has a music festival every summer that is frankly too hot and crowded for me most of the time, but I wanted to see The Beach Boys, so we attempted to go. I tried to dress as coolly and comfortably as possible, but it turns out it wasn't necessary. We couldn't find a parking spot anywhere, so we just gave up! I did end up going later on in the week, for the fireworks.

tunic- TJMaxx, sandals- Rue 21, earrings- Charming Charlie

au natural

Since I am a makeup artist, I rarely am seen without makeup on. This was one of those rare occasions where I don't wash my hair after the pool day, or put makeup on. By the way, my tan is completely fake, courtesy of Tan Towels and SPF 100! After aesthetics school, I can't help but want to protect my skin forever. You won't catch me in a tanning bed!

Not sure why I look drugged in these pictures... ew. lol

shirt- American Eagle, jeggings- Target, boots- Blowfish, earrings- Forever 21

ushering in spring

This outfit was a week or so ago, after school when I really didn't feel like dressing up. I did want to wear springtime colors though, since it is getting warmer every day :) I felt very boring in this, though!

jeans-marshall's, shirt-wet seal, sweater-charlotte russe, sandals-target, necklace-charming charlie

captain malcolm reynolds

In this outfit, I really felt like Nathan Fillion's character in Firefly. I normally don't dress so causally, and I kind of felt like a man the entire night. I'll be back to dresses and tights as soon as this tiring week is over. I love Nathan Fillion though!

PS- every time I photograph myself in these jeans, I remember how unflattering they are. Yikes.

I don't think I was ready for the picture there haha

unintentionally patriotic

My friend Ellee and I unintentionally matched, and both resembled flags this day. We had a lazy girls day and night, as my boy was out of town.
