Sequins and Sea Breezes: Distressed

Distressed

5/26/2015


Happy Tuesday lovelies! Don't worry, you're in the right place, I just gave my blog a little facelift... ok a big facelift, but I'm totally loving it and I hope you are too! I've been working for months on this new design (the joys of doing all the design work yourself and not being an expert at CSS) but I'm incredibly happy and proud of it and I might make a few adjustments here and there but hopefully this will be the new Sequins & Sea Breezes for quite awhile! I had been talking about it (ok probably more like driving them crazy) with Amanda and Biana for months now about what I wanted to do but it was a lot harder putting it together than I thought. I've been a big fan of Amanda from Little Miss Fearless and Rachel from Pink Peonies blog layouts for awhile so I did my best to incorporate theirs into something for me. But anyway, I hope everyone had a fabulous, long weekend! I'm not ready to be back at work yet but I had an awesome weekend so I can't complain. 


I actually wore this outfit out over the weekend and excuse my crazy hair but it literally started POURING on me while we were taking pictures and I just decided to stick it out so my hair ended up looking pretty ridiculous by the end. If you look closely you can even see the rain! Ok back to the outfit, so I told you about these distressed jeans a bit ago and here they are! I've already mentioned I'm usually not the biggest fan of distressed jeans but for some reason I love distressed denim when it's in white or black... or colors in general. And these jeans are SO comfortable which is definitely an added bonus. I decided to pair the denim with a striped swing tank to keep things casual and comfortable (especially since it's already been reaching low to mid 90's here). I topped off my look with a fun gold statement necklace, some comfy black heels and my newest YSL lip stain. Ya'll, this color is perfect! It's so great for every day and I love the baby pink against my tan! Hope everyone has an amazing day!

  7. First of all.... LOVE the new design girl, and love even more that you did it yourself! I know that's something I just could never tackle. Heck I can't even seem to create my own custom "pin it" button lol. And secondly you look fabulous of course, and I love how the rain mixed things up a bit.
