Casual & Chloe

 Well, my friends the rain has finally let up and the sun is shining. I typically like the little spurts of rain we get here in Nor Cal, but after about two weeks of non-stop rain I am ready for some fun in the sun. However, it isn't exactly warm yet. This outfit is something that I love to wear on a daily basis. It is easy and comfortable.I have been wanting these boots for a long time, but was convinced by one of my favorite bloggers Dylana from Nana in Wonderland to buy them. She rocks them like a pro! I was playing around on Shopbop the other day and trying to decide if I was "girlie", "classic", "casual", "edgy" or "boho". This is extremely hard for me since I feel like dressing like all of them on different days and according to different moods. My boyfriend looked at it and said his favorite was "girlie" (typical) and that I dress most like "casual". I was surprised and said really I think most often I am "girlie with a touch of classic and boho mixed together" (don't think that is how it works). Turns out that I am a little bit of all of them, but I have to give me boyfriend some credit. When I looked at today's outfit I thought, "causal all the way baby"!

So, I am trying to prepare for a new chapter of my life. My boyfriend and I are planning to move in together. I moved back home with my parents for a while and have been trying to decide if I was going to get my own place or live with him. We decided a few months ago that we would love to live together. However, we are doing it right. We are waiting to find the right place and the right cost. So, I am on a spending freeze. Of course, I have all of these things that keep popping up. For example, New York in February would be amazing, a new camera is a must, and I just spent $400 on tires and an oil change (buzz kill). So, I may have to be creative with my outfit posts soon and have a few less of them until I am settled.

With moving on the brain I have been compiling a billion inspirational images on my desktop. So, many that it is like a fun game trying to find the image I am looking for. As, many of you know I have a girl crush on Chloe Sevigny (see example here) and would like to have many of things related to her and her amazingness. I want her closet, the clothes she wears, her shoes, her kitchen and the clothes she designs. Here are some images that I am inspired by for my new place and things to go in my new closet.

You always look so beautiful! I was looking at Shopbop's style profiles too and I wanted pieces from each collection. I'm not one to just settle into one style - it all depends on the day (or hour).

Chloe has an amazing closet!

Valencia Lia said...

Really love love your bright colorful top and those boots are really worth the buy! Now you're tempting me to buy myself a pair too heee

I love love Chloe Sevigny too,a huge girl crush too! And she is so inspiring each time.

Ohhhh,so happy you're going to start a new chapter of your life with your boyfriend. Both my boyfriend and I have the same thought too.

But we want to wait for the right house and when we have earned and saved up enough heee
