Yellow Blazer and Strawberry Sneakers
I love the idea of the Boyfriend Jean, but every time I try one on I feel they look ridiculous on me! My top secret solution is to simply buy regular skinny jeans (like these Lauren Conrad's) two sizes too big. (P.S. how adorable are these special edition Marimekko Jack Purcell's I scored at Nordstrom Rack!?)

Camo and Stripes with Pigtails
Back in March, I accompanied Jill to an event at LOFT. At these things, there's usually a giveaway of some sort, and I wound up wining a $100 gift card! When I finally went back to pick up the card and go shopping, they were having one of their myriad 50ish% off sales, so I was able to scoop up these ridiculously comfortable jeans, a great pair pair of mint sunglasses, AND I still have money left over. Ooo that reminds me, I need to go back and spend the rest of it soon!

Camo Jeans with Pink and Yellow
FINALLY!!!!! I have been searching for the perfect camo jeans that weren't too dark, but weren't too girly either. And, of course, the fit had to be perfect. Gap had a few good looking options last year, but the fit was never quite right. Old Navy Rockstars to the rescue! I ordered these online, and they were everything I wanted them to be. The best part is that this is the new mid-rise fit, so no more booty-exposure getting out of the car!

Black Surplice Dress with Bright Plastic Necklace
This free dress has turned out to be quite useful! As has this crazy necklace that I almost didn't buy. These colors could have easily looked very summery, but the suede shoes and long sleeves place it firmly into the fall.

Aaand finally day 3 of Mini Take One Pass it On: the camo blazer (and, of course, purse) is back again.

White Jeans with Camo Blazer
Day 2 of the Accidental Mini Take One Pass it On. The white jeans are the major pass on here, but the necklace and purse are repeats, too.

White Jeans with Grey Stripes and Crayola Accesories
This week accidentally features a mini Take One Pass it On. This is Day 1 of 3.
I spent FOREVER looking for the perfect pair of white jeans. I feel like every single pair I tried on had a transparent quality that looked cheap (and was not doing me any favors!). I don't love that these are cuffed, but I was thrilled by how thick the fabric is! I found these at a Gap outlet (recently) on sale for $19, and even my notoriously dark underwear was undetected under these in the fitting room.

Striped Tunic with Sheer Panels
This is a casual summer look from before Chicago went nuclear! The black panels are sheer, with the back half a little longer than the front. My "guest photographer" (aka fiance) is still learning about capturing the clothes on camera (aka barely cares), but I swear the proportions looked spectacular in person! I've also worn this tunic with short cutoffs, which was also adorable.
A long, skinny necklace breaks up the long, loose line of the top (when it's not draped over one boob... sigh...). Bright earrings and purse liven up the color palate.

Leather Tank with Beachy Accessories
Last day of work clothes (though it doesn't even look like it)! I wore this on the second to last day of school. This is the faux leather Zara tank I wore as a layering piece before. Here, I'm wearing it more at it was intended. I added some beachy accessories to give it a more relaxed vibe.

Neon Fair Isle
I love this weird little sweater. It reminds me of how I used to shop and dress - I would scrounge TJ Maxx and the sales racks at Blomingdale's for gorgeous, fabulous, unique pieces. I had a whole wardrobe full of non-basics. It was NOT easy to get myself dressed, but back then, I had a few hours to put together a look. And good lord, did I have fun!
As we grow up, life gets busier and we start to narrow down what works for us, our wardrobes start to get more streamlined. This is a good thing, and helps us cultivate a more sophisticated, polished version of ourselves. But this goofy sweater - one that I almost didn't even try on - always makes me smile and reminds me to let my eclectic flag fly.
