Cry For a Shadow

I think I found my new fave jean brand - +Joes Jeans FTW. For a long time, I was obsessed with low-rise skinnies, but they looked bad on me.  I don't know why I was being so stubborn.  I was SO set on wearing them even though they were uncomfortable.  Clothing should make you feel good AND flatter you in the right way.  On that note, don't be ashamed to size up if necessary.  I feel like a lot of people are stubborn about sizing.  Who cares if you're a 0 or a 12 for that matter?  Stores inflate sizes all the time anyways so go with the piece that fits you right!  It'll make SUCH a difference.  

A closer look at my +Velvet Heart top - 100% washable Tencel with two front pockets and a longer split tail in the back.  LOVE the material - feels so good on my skin! Do you guys own any Tencel pieces?  Oh, and make sure to use code VHSS25 for an extra 25% off your purchase.

Another full body shot for you guys!  Re-featured my Celine-inspired +chicwish bag.

Skater Skirts FTW

Skater skirts are SO money.  They're super flattering, and they're comfy as hell.  In fact, they're probably the comfiest things you can buy in stores - yoga pants don't count!  Yeah, that's right.  I went there!  I know that's bold, but it is what it is!

They seriously look good with any and everything.  Skater + crop top = sexy; skater + button-front tucked in = polished; skater + cropped sweatshirt = style with ease.  Alright, you guys get the point.  Basically, skater + ______ = awesome sauce

I highly recommend purchasing pieces in different colors and patterns.  Stores like Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 have a ton of affordable options online and in-stores!  I promise you, they'll be mad handy in the spring and summer!
