  • Hillflint Sweatshirts Do NOT Disappoint

    Sweatshirt: Hillflint Georgetown Mascot (another option); Shorts: Old Navy Scalloped Shorts; Shoes: Tory Burch Thin Flip Flop I love everything about this Hillflint sweatshirt, mostly the mascot design patch though! It is probably the highest quality sweatshirt I own too, made of Cotton French Terry. A sweatshirt with shorts is the perfect pair for our transitional weather right now. P.S. Hillflint sells sweatshirts for many schools and in so many designs, even some vintage looks. There is no better way to sport your alma mater! XOXO Do you feel influenced yet?

  • Casual Polka Dots

    Top: Alice & Olivia (similar option); Bottoms: Joe’s Jeans Hi Honey Skinny Ankle or Here; Headband: Stoney Clover Lane (similar option) I love this crop top! However, I always wear it so that no midriff shows. And these jeans are just high-waisted enough to keep me covered yet let me show off those polka dots! XOXO Do you feel influenced yet?

    Top: Serengetee Polaroid Tee; Shorts: Old Navy Cuffed Jean Shorts, Old Navy Dark Option; Old Navy Alternate Option; Shoes: Converse All Stars Custom I love this polaroid tee!

  • Minted: Graphic Tees

    Top: Minted graphic tee; Jacket: Old Navy Utility Jacket; Jeans: 7 for all Mankind; Shoes: JSlides I stumbled upon Minted’s graphic tees when shopping for photos for our home. Every so often, Minted hosts a t-shirt design competition of which customers can buy the winner’s design. I bought this NYC tee awhile ago, but I think it’s a fun concept and certainly very unique (almost one of a kind!). One word about the fit though. It is VERY boxy, and unfortunately, because of this, I won’t purchase another until the fit is more uniform with other tees. Mine fits somewhere in between a normal tee and a crop top (a…

  • Oversized Sweater + Elbow Patches

    Oversized Sweater: Free People; Jeans: 7 for all Mankind; Cami: Nordstrom Headband: Stoney Clover Lane; Watch: Daniel Wellington I decided that today I should trade in my comfies and actually get properly dressed in this oversized sweater. I love the elbow patches, which is almost entirely why I bought it. Wear it off one shoulder and include a headband (very “in” right now) for a beautifully feminine look! The link to the sweater is a close match. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me at carissa_cruse)
