LookBook OOTD: Once a Hot Summer Day

ONCE A HOT SUMMER DAY

If I'm correct, Summer just started around 4 days ago!  I always thought it was hot before Summer even began, but I think I'm finally truly being reminded of what California's Summer sun feels like!  haha, since the temperature has warmed up, I've changed my wardrobe up a little!  I've put any thick long pants and shirts away, and switched them off with my favorite short skirts and shorts! =)  Though I really dislike how hot it is...Summer's actually one of my most favorite weathers because it brings my wardrobe to an extreme, and I can where my favorite summer essentials... short shorts & open toed shoes! hehe =D  

For today's LookBook Outfit, I went for comfort!  My outfits are usually pretty comfortable, but I went the extra mile today! =D  I mentioned Short Shorts and Sandles as my all time Summer Essentials, which is totally true, but I find myself going towards a new trend this season.... Crop Tops & High Waisted Flowy Skirts!

haha as SOME of my pictures show, I'm actually pretty Giddy!  The emotions are real, cause you guys have no idea how long it has been since I've shown my bare legs without wearing any pantyhose or leggings!  Anyway, for my outfit, I basically took my adorable graphic crop top tee and matched it with my current most favorite high waisted pocket skirt!  To top the outfit off, I threw on a light chambray button up, and that ALMOST completes my outfit!  

Looking to my left....

Looking to my right... LOL

I'm not a huge jewelry fan, so all I did was add a cute dainty bracelet (that you guys can barely see from my pictures), and topped my outfit off with my favorite nude Calvin Klein flatforms and Urban Expressions taupe grey purse to complete the look!  Though I have a standard height  of 5'5", I just couldn't resist but add another 4 inches to my height LOL.  

I think I finally found the street skater side in me! LOL  I always thought the skater look was pretty cool, but I never saw myself wearing it!  haha some people might disagree that I'm wearing a skater look, but just imagine removing my flatforms and replacing them with some Converse High Tops!!!  haha do you see what I see now? lol =)  

Here are some close-ups of my outfit and my flatforms! My family aren't the most fond of the flatforms, but I just happen to adore them!

There are times where I'm in love with layering, but it's times like these that I truly appreciate the magic of simplicity.  I was able to walk out the house feeling extremely comfortable, relaxed, and slightly breezy =) that day, and I have simplicity and summer to thank!  I can't wait to take advantage of this weather and take more outfit of the days, so definitely stay tuned for more outfit of the days in the near future!  Have a great one everybody!
