It's a Shore Thing

I took a much needed break from the blogging world, but I have missed you all wayyyyy TOO much! I'm back after spending a wonderful few days down in Ocean City, Maryland. There was a ton of sun...burns, laughing with my family, and trips to TCBY and Big Pecker's bar & grill (seriously go there if you are in OCMD for the best seared tuna EVER!) Anyway, here's a little picture of what I wore to the beach. Have a wonderful Memorial Day with friends and loved ones!

Me wearing:

Tunic: Wetseal, Flip-flops: Old Navy, Bag: The Sak, Bathing Suit: Target, Hat: Surf Shop in OBX, NC

Flow is Flowy

So blogger deleted 2 of my most recent posts, thank you Friday the 13th? Anyway, this is a little outfit that I wore out last night! Hopefully my 2 deleted posts make their way back onto Candidly Cassie. If not, posts...you will be missed! I wore:

Skirt: Forever21 (Borrowed from S) // Blouse: WetSeal (clearance $5) // Shoes: Dolce Vita for Target Wedges // Earrings: Target

Like my new haircut?

More is More...

Remember these shoes? For some reason I hadn't been wearing them AT ALL since I bought them in mid-2010! It was so strange because I love them so much. However, last night was the third night in a row that I wore those babies out on the town! I have noticed how much I love the rough-and-tough edginess they provide to an outfit...and I also realized something, I have been dressing way, way, way, more "conservative" (and I use that term loosely) lately.

I will confess that just last semester (and every semester of college previously) I have dressed like every other girl out there; I followed the "less is more" approach. Now I see those girls and wonder where they left their jacket or tights...because surely no one could be wearing a skirt that high or a top that low (am I an old fart now?) I just really appreciate tailored clothing, a good fit...classy and understated women...that is true sex appeal in my opinion:
I know of my sex appeal. I know about sexuality, and I know how to use it - tastefully, of course.

Last night when I went out, I admit I did try on that god-awful tight and short black body-con skirt I have worn to death (I think the color is charcoal gray now...originally black), and thought twice. Instead I put on:

Harem pants: Forever21, Tank Top: Kimichi Blue (via Urban Outfitters), Boots: Wet Seal, Leopard Belt: George (via Walmart), Watch: Michael Kors

Has your styled changed drastically in your 20's? I feel like I am growing up and trying and hoping to be more wardrobe-appropriate-conscious.

PS: Sorry again for the horrible pictures, S will be back soon!

Jumping in my Jumpsuit!

First off let me please say thank you! I have received such sweet comments lately and it really makes me smile. I love the camaraderie between bloggers, maybe I am getting corny, but I just hit 50 followers and it is really exciting for me! The fact that some of my blog-icons read and comment on what I have to say is just mind-blowing...I guess we all inspire each other! With all that said, if you would like to follow please do, don't be shy, and comment too! I love interacting with the lovely and stylish ladies that I have been virtually-introduced to lately (virtually introduced? Does that sound creepy?)
This is my outfit from last night...long story but not many people got to see it! Thursday-bar-night at my school is a bit out of control. My friends and I should of realized that getting to the bar a little EXTREMELY late would cause us to wait outside in the freezing, arctic tundra that is Narragansett, and letting us in? One-in-one-out? No thank you! So we jumped around in the cold, hugging strangers for warmth (body heat is necessary in the cold)...then at 12:10pm, we quickly ran back to the car, defrosted at home and called it a night. Since we were standing outside the bar with about 100 people, in the dark (and everyone was too cold to check out each other's outfits) I will definitely be wearing this beautiful jumpsuit and outfit again...it's too pretty not to. The outfit consists of:

Jumpsuit: H&M, Peep-toe Boots: Wet-Seal, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelets: Tiffany&Co. (gifted by Mom) and H&M

Happy Friday! Mine will be filled with errands, homework (or I will attempt) and a fun night out! What are your plans for tonight?
