So I have to confess- I actually wore this outfit on a Wednesday and not a Friday. I’m pretty lucky that I work in an office where I can get away with wearing something this casual to work. I feel most comfortable in outfits that are no fuss, especially in the summer when it gets too hot to function. To add a little sparkle to this very basic outfit, I wore my new triangle necklace from Forever 21 and this blingy tribal ring from Kensie.
I kind of feel like I’m about to exhaust my summer wardrobe which is not good because we have many more weeks of summer left! I’m feeling the itch to go shopping pretty strongly and I might go scouting for some good deals this weekend.
Tell me: What was the last thing you bought?
Outfit Details: Cardigan, Tee, Necklace- Forever 21 // Ring c/o Kensie // Sunglasses- H&M // Sandals- Madden Girl via DSW // Lips- Maybelline Color Whispers Berry Ready (all photos of me taken by my friend Babe- thanks lady!)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I work in a pretty casual office, too. It’s the best. I LOVE your skirt – it looks so comfy! It’s only the first day of summer, so if you’re about to exhaust your summer wardrobe, I say it’s time for a shopping trip for you! :)
Thank you- it is pretty comfy! I think you’re right- I’m planning a little lunchtime shopping trip today ;)
wednesday, friday, it’s all good and your wearing a pencil skirt so who cares?
Haha, true! Oh how I wish we were closer to the end of the week now than the beginning!
It’s nice to be able to wear just about anything to work, I miss that! Pretty nails :)
Thank you Jenmarie :)
I love your nails! It’s always nice to be able to wear casual outfits to work!
Thank you Daphne! I agree- I’m glad I don’t work in a corporate office because I’d need a whole new wardrobe!
