Some days you just don't feel like getting all dressed up. This was definitely one of those days. It was super hot and muggy out, which already means that you know there's no point in trying to get all dressed up and do your hair because it's just going to come undone the second you step outside any way. Combine that with being exhausted and you get a shorts and a tank top kind of day.
Since I didn't want this post to be super boring I decided to mix it up and do my hair in a fishtail braid. I'm still working on mastering/perfecting the fishtail but I love how easy it is to do, especially since I'm the queen of not being able to do my own hair! To semi-dress it up a bit I paired this outfit with these studded sandals from Charlotte Russe. I've been seeing lots of bloggers sporting these or of course the unbelievably gorgeous Isabel Marant version (if you have the cash to splurge...oh and if you don't mind waiting since they're on backorder every where!) so when I saw these on sale at Charlotte Russe I couldn't resist picking them up! I mean, you can't be $15, right? My only complaint with these is there's only one snap for the ankle straps and if you have skinny ankles, it's not happening. I'm going to see if I can find someone to put an extra snap or two on there to make these actually fit my ankles because they're just too cute to not keep! Even my friend who got the same ones but in tan has the same problem so definitely keep that in mind if you decide to get these!
Those shoes are amazing - I can't believe they are from Charlotte Russe!! I have been rocking the fishtail braid this summer too - I just love how easy it is!! Looking fab doll!
This is a great outfit for a hot day! And those shoes do seem to be the new trend, I may have to go to Charlotte Russe and pick myself up a pair from there! Wonderful post and pictures! Mckenzie xx http://www.mckenziechannon.com/
Pump-a-licious! I think I would wear those every darn day! I can even picture ways to transition them into other seasons! : signe : the daily savant : $92 FACE OIL GIVEAWAY
Braid = amazing! and you look gorgeous, per usual. I'm with you on those hot days! it was toasty here over the weekend so I threw on shorts and a tank with some fun jewelry and I loved how it turned out! xo!
Love the fishtail braid! I have no idea how you guys do your hair down there in the summer.. I could NOT handle the humidity in Charleston over the weekend, I looked like a hot mess!!
