What I'm Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Top ADDISON | Sweater Michael Stars | Shoes Steve Madden | Hat Janessa Leone

By the time you are reading this I will be on a plane to South Africa. AHH! I'm so excited! But fear not, I have queued up some posts for while I'm gone. And you can follow along with my trip by following my instagram (@melissapaigee). But, back to the outfit. This one is certainly a rarity for me, as I am not usually one to show off my stomach but I just loved the idea of a crop top, high waisted jeans, and a long sweater so I had to try it out. And I threw my new hat on top, which I am absolutely in love with, especially since it's the only hat that I could find that fits my little head. 

Two-In-One

What I'm Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Shirt ADDISON | Boots Tory Burch, Similar | Necklace Jules Smith

I picked up this shirt from Addison because it is unlike anything I've ever seen before. And in case you're wondering, yes, that is one shirt. But, the coolest part you can detach the two pieces so it's really like two pieces in one. And that's why I really love the brand Addison, because they always have such unique pieces. (Like this sweater, previously on the blog) I also love how the shirt shows just the tiniest peek of skin, so perfect for spring. Since the shirt is so awesome on it's own I paired it with just the comfiest pair of jeans and a really awesome double bar necklace, which is the perfect piece for a higher neckline. 

Jumpin' Jumpin'

What I'm Wearing: Overalls Aritzia | Crop Top American Apparel  | Shoes Converse

I'm in love with my new overalls! First of all, I love the light wash denim color. Second, I love the fact that they are almost a hybrid jumpsuit/overall. They have the top of an overall, but the cinched waist, and the more tailored pants fit a little more like a jumpsuit. They are perfect, because they are overalls that are super flattering due to the tighter bottom. And since the overalls should be the star of the outfit I kept it simple with a white crop top and converse. 

When All Else Fails..

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Maje | Top ASOS

When all else fails, wear all black. You really can't go wrong, it matches, it's slimming, it just always works. Of course in the summer black on black could get a little hot, but we all make sacrifices in the name of fashion, right? Seriously, though, this little $11 crop top I picked up at the beginning of the summer could be one of my greatest purchases. It works with everything. Perfect with shorts, skirts, overalls, and when worn well, shows just enough skin without being over the top. 

A Seasonally Confused Wishlist

Sandals Jeffrey Campbell | Crop Top Missguided | Shorts Topshop | Jacket Truth & Pride | Jumpsuit Reformation | Shoes Topshop

Sorry I don't have an outfit post today. But it was way too hot outside this weekend to take 5 outfits worth of pictures. So instead I figured I'd make a wishlist. And what I ended up with is this seasonally confused wishlist. I do love summer, but after a while I just really want fall. I love shorts, but I miss my jeans, and I just want to put on some boots and a jacket. But as you can tell, I'm not totally over summer, I'm still craving more shorts and sandals too. 

Overall Crazy

What I'm Wearing: Overalls ASOS | Tank River Island | Shoes Converse

I really like overalls. They are just so easy to wear. I especially love this pair with the button detailing. And they are now on sale, because everything I buy goes on sale right after I buy it. I swear, this happens all the time. But, whatever. I decided to wear this striped crop top with the overalls, which I really love. I can't wait to work it into more outfits. And then of course some converse finish off this casual look. 

White On Point

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Mango | Tee Topshop, Similar | Shoes Kurt Geiger

With so many people trying it, I thought I'd tackle the all white trend. It's definitely risky, I mean wearing a white shirt anywhere is risk enough, but a whole white outfit? Certainly not something I'd wear out to dinner, but I love the summer chicness of it. I added my new Kurt Geiger pointed flats (a steal at $29, might I add) because pointed toes just add a certain sophistication and they are  very on trend for now and into the fall. And how do you like the title, I like to think I'm very clever. White on point, like right on point...  get it?

Over it All

What I'm Wearing: Overalls Topshop | Tee ASOS | Shoes BCBGeneration

I'll admit, originally I wasn't very into the idea of shorts overalls. I tried on a pair and I thought they made me look like a little kid. But when I saw these, I had to try them. And clearly, I love them. I wore them on the Fourth of July, they're just so cute and easy to wear. I wore them with just a plain black tee but you can also dress them up with a lace top underneath like they show on the website. That's an idea I just might have to try sometime soon. 

Oreo Fashion

What I'm Wearing: Skirt Topshop | Top ASOS | Shoes Converse | Necklaces Kate Spade

Originally I planned to do an all white outfit with this skirt, but then I realized I didn't have a white shirt. So, instead this outfit became another black and white outfit, or Oreo fashion. And I love Oreos so I'm totally cool with dressing like one. I wore my new Topshop lace skirt which is the perfect summer piece with my new hi-top Converse. I've never had hi-tops before and I kind of love them, they are so different for me, but super fun. Since no outfit is complete without some jewels I put on two necklaces I got for my birthday (thanks mom!) and I love how the floral necklace adds some color to the outfit. I also love how the light caught my necklace in one of the pictures and it looks like it has super powers. ;)

Cropped

What I'm Wearing: Skirt ASTR | Shirt ASOS | Shoes Chanel

I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of the crop top trend. I mean I don't need to be rude, but I don't like seeing everyone's stomachs everywhere I go. But I do love the trend of crop tops and a high-waisted bottom, showing just the slightest bit of skin. I think it looks so cute without going over the top skin crazy. And this super adorable skirt, which I borrowed from my sister, is from the new Savvy trends at Nordstrom, which is all more affordable but still super cute clothing. Even better, this crop top was eleven dollars.
