Perfect Summer Outfit

I'm sure I have commented on this t-shirt before, but this just tells you how much I love it! I never understood why someone would have a favorite shirt. It's just a shirt, right? Wrong. This shirt fits me like none other and for some reason I have not been able to find another shirt like it. I also got it on super sale at Free People so that makes it even better. The sunglasses are from Anthropologie, completely adore these too, shoes are from Nordstrom Rack, and then the shorts and necklace are from good 'ole Forever 21. To me this is the perfect summer outfit. Nothing beats high-waisted shorts and stripes.

Happy summer,
Mae

(This sadly is not my dog, we are currently dog sitting for a friend. As much as I would love a dog I don't think that I will getting one any time soon.)

T-shirt dress

I found this awesome shirt at Forever 21 that had an M on it. It was so perfect and made me unusually happy because they didn't have any other letters. It was a medium making it rather large on me, so why not wear it as a t-shirt dress? Put a mini skirt underneath for safe measure and you're solid. I believe t-shirt dresses are becoming a new favorite thing.

Decor

I am completely in love with my new tapestry from Urban Outfitters! It was just what I needed to add some color to my white walls.

Hope this spurs some design inspiration.

T-shirt makeover - Urban Outfitters style

I recently received a free t-shirt with a purchase (one of those buy-one-get-one-free deals) and naturally the clothing that is included in deals like those are not the prettiest. Granted, I was in a Florida surf shop so a majority of their stock was not fashion forward. So I figured this would be the perfect experimental shirt and it turned out nicely. 

When I was surfing the Urban website the other night I almost purchased a normal t-shirt with a twist, when I realized that I could make the shirt myself I decided not to pile it on top of my already $70 purchase (I Just love Urban Outfitters). 

Step One

Find an old t-shirt or a new t-shirt.

Step Two

Flip the t-shirt over so that you now have the back facing you. Find the middle of the shirt and cut a straight line. Then make the slit as big as you would like. 

Step Three

Now cut the bottom off, as short as you like. I ended up cutting quite a few inches off. Then stretch the corners after the bottom is cut off. This is where you will tie it.

Step Four

Tie the knot. Make sure you stretched the fabric enough so that you can double-knot it and still have fabric hanging down from the knot (makes it look better).

Step Five

Put the shirt on with your favorite backless bra, tank top, or my favorite bra to wear with low-back shirts from Forever 21.

Enjoy your breezy summer shirt! If you like in Texas like me, you will be thankful.

Hello there

Wow I haven't touched my blog in quite sometime. Some recent, exciting news is that I got accepted into an awesome art school in Dallas called Wade College. I look forward to attending that in the fall. My dreams of becoming a fashion designer will be reality as I will be majoring in fashion design. 

Speaking of design. I repurposed my dad's old button down into a skirt.

Stripes

I feel as though I haven't loved an outfit in a very long time. Well today I was very pleased with my outfit. Feeling like a referee in my black & white stripes.

Knee-high obsession

My obsession for knee-high socks is growing. There is just something so fun and flirty about pairing knee-highs with a dress or skirt.

Keep it spunky,
Mae

Time

My morning

It's a Sunday which means sleeping into the afternoon and tons of homework. I love procrastinating. Well, I don't love it but I do it all too often. That's why my Sundays end up crammed with homework. I'm sure some of y'all understand. It is also difficult to not let senioitis not hit too hard. Constantly reminding myself to stay motivated and not shut off. 

Happy Sunday,

Mae 

A new skirt

Last weekend I got behind my sewing machine and whipped out a skirt. It felt good to sew again. Hope everyone is having a great last week of break!

Inner introvert

My inner introvert is coming out. All I've wanted to do lately is be by myself. I have a deep desire to travel alone. Explore and discover exclusively, meet new people, with no familiar faces. If I could go to an airport and pick a random location and get away for a few days. My excitement to be graduated is building immensely. I'm praying that in four months time I will have much more freedom to go and do.

Coffee lover

I feel like every coffee lover feels this way about 99% of the time. And because it is in the PM and coffee would not be smart at this hour I figured writing about it would help.

Enjoy every cup of coffee,

Mae

Stars & stripes

It's a stars & stripes New Years Eve. Yes, I realize I look like I am dressed for the wrong holiday. Who really cares?

Happy New Years!

Ugly Christmas sweater

I've always wanted to own an ugly Christmas sweater. They are kind of fun. So when I found this gem on super sale at Urban Outfitters I couldn't resist purchasing it. (They are having a extra 50% off sale items) When I got home I thorough read the tag and discovers it was a men's shirt, but who really cares? It is extremely comfortable and obviously I could talk about it for quite sometime. 

Stay cozy,

Mae

In denial

Am I the only one who tries to deny feelings? Force myself to believe I feel a certain way only to find myself later admitting to myself that I really don't feel that way. I never really got the saying "be honest with yourself" until lately. It's a little bit trickier than I thought. {Ignore the vagueness of this post I just needed to vent a bit.}

Be honest, be true, be you.
Mae

Also, while I was stuck at my friends house I got some dog snuggles. Because I have no dogs at home this made me oh so happy. 

Winter time

It a beautiful winter wonderland outside. Texas finally got the idea that it's winter. I'm currently snowed in at my friends house. Pretty much the best way to spend days like this. Full of movie watching and coffee. Oh, and don't forget freezing our tails off while sledding. But it was all worth it.

Stay warm, 

Mae 

More happiness

I know I blog about how happy life is all too often, but I say thats not a bad thing. I hope every person who reads my posts are just as jolly as I. Or that they bring joy to your day. 

Every tuesday I go to lunch with my wonderful friends making tuesday one of my favorite days. Panera Bread quickly become our favorite eating spot. We sit and laugh while consuming way too many carbs. How can you resist their broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl? I am feeling very blessed this afternoon by the wonderful friends in my life. We even ran into one of my best friends and her boyfriend there, so that added some extra joy to the day.
It's December 3rd and 77 degrees outside. Oh Texas. I wish that it was colder but enjoyed wearing my fabulous five dollar black friday find.
Much love,
Mae

These are the kinds of outfits I adore. The ones with very few pieces that you just throw together last minute and still look like you put a lot of effort into looking cute.

A little bit of life

There are less than two weeks left of this semester and I am oh so happy. After this I will only have one more semester of high school. Me oh my, time flys. I'm starting to get butterfly's thinking about it. Times like these I have to tell myself to just breathe and take it one step at a time. Right now I really need to focus on finishing this semester strong. (Not too excited about finals, but then again, who is?) 

I hope all of y'all are in the Christmas spirit because it is such a grand holiday.

This is an outfit from a couple of weeks ago, but thought I might share it because I quite enjoyed wearing my suspenders.
