Why not take me back to the 80's? Looks like designers are picking up reference from what is now..30 years ago? Neon was never my thing, although neither was cheetah, but hey looks like we finally do start to explore away from jeans and t shirts. K well I lied. Not today... running around town calls for shoulder pads? no. riveting fanny packs? negative. neon kicks....yessir. I'm thinking a little DIY action is soon to come with these bad boys, but paired with the never forgotten high waisted short and plain white tee has comfortably got me through the day of scrambling around town. And on the note of high waisted shorts: I was recently asked where to find a solid pair and after wearing my free people cut offs til the end, I spotted these light washed replacements in Forever21. Lucky me..they fit like a glove. With that said...shout out to Forever21, Nasty Gal, Free people, Urban Outfitters, and Brandy Melville for steppin' it up in the short shorts department.

My roommate decided to strut her stuff in this ridiculously comfortable maxi dress that I knew I was going to be stealing within the next couple days of her wearing it. It's something about those nautical stripes that caught my eye and after realizing this multifaceted number could be tied and even covered in numerous ways, I took it on as a challenge to leave the house not looking like I completely stole her look. Alright so here it is... after coming to the conclusion that my 5'2 self is too short for this floor length number, I threw on the extra five inch Steve Maddens and tied the maxi up for a mid calf skirt look. And considering we are dealing with winter, or whatever you call this San Diego December, I needed a little somethin somethin to cover up the whole bare arm thing. Even though the Forever21 knit sweater probably had a couple hundred wholes, it made do for a day to the farmers market and I walked away with an amazing Organic Smoothie ( Raw & Living greens and fruits?) Much better than it sounds!
