OOTD: Coral Springs

Hey everyone! I wore this this outfit the second week of summer on a trip to Coral Springs. I went there to visit Alex and his family and just to get away for the weekend. I love taking road trips; road trips and hikes. It always seems to clear my mind. Although...I won't lie my work out regimen has been so bad lately... but it's okay lol, I'm annoyed enough with myself to start up again. Yay for motivation haha.  I haven't slept in about 24 hours... :P
Well my friend Monique swapped clothes with me and I received this shirt and a few other nice T's in the end. I decided to pull on khaki cropped pants to balance my bare shoulders. Then for added modesty I went ahead and added my white kimono.

Self: My Bag

Here's my 'What's in my bag' post as promised! A big thank you to my family friend Mrs. Janice for gifting me this rug too. I forgot to add my mints and a pen but this is definitely the usual when it comes to what I carry. Sometimes I carry sunglasses too :).

Honestly, I don't use this wallet anymore but the one I'm using now is even older lol. It's just a regular black card holder until I find a wallet that holds everything. Well! It's where I keep my $$ and gift cards.

OOTD: Normal

I love Forever 21. I'm always buying their clothes online. Today I unintentionally dressed head to toe in Forever 21 and fall colors on the way out to shop.  Perfect shoes for walking around and perfect skirt (w/ shorts) for trying on clothes. It's always fun adding prints to a graphic top and whenever I go out I always make sure I push myself to dress up, especially after having some bad vibes thrown at me the previous day. But hey, I'm all about self love and not worrying about the small things. That's something I figured out just as I turned 21. I haven't mastered it yet of course but I'm not as hard on myself as I used to be and it's gotten a lot easier :).  It feels guuuuuuud to come out of my shell seemingly for the second time <3.
Tomorrow I'm thinking of posting your classic 'what's in your bag' post. I think it's been at least a year and it's time to add more variety to this blog again. Also, I can't wait to feature my new rug! xx
