{harem pants}

What I'm Wearing:
Black v-neck by Threads 4 Thought,
patterned harem pants by Lilka from Anthropologie,
sandals from Madewell,
bracelet from my mom,
necklace from Francesca's Closet

In honor of Father's Day my pops was my recruited photographer. Being a designer, my dad has a great artistic eye and loves to check in on my blog. He always encourages me in whatever I do, of example like his loving emails telling me he liked my outfit that day! My dad is a craftsman, a creative, and a caring father and husband. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful father who raised me to be creative and unique. I love you, dad!

As for my look on Sunday, I haven't worn these harem pants out and about yet, but due to an uncomfortable sunburn on my legs I thought they would be a comfy option for Father's Day. After a long day on the lakeshore, my legs are bright pink and happy to be covered up now. The light fabric is perfect for summer and they are loose enough to give my sunburn some relief. Because of the wild pattern and the gorgeous black embroidering on the bottom, I decided to wear them with a basic black tee and sandals. The black elements tie the whole look together!

On my last Sunday in Colorado, I attended an adorable springtime tea party. There is nothing like reliving your childhood with a cup of tea and a pastel dress. A few weeks before receiving a precious coral & gold invitation in the mail, Mariel, Jan, and I were chatting about childhood collections and miniature tea sets came up. In that moment, Jan & Mariel decided to hold a "girls only" tea party. They requested that every guest wear their girliest dress and their best set of pearls. I loved having an excuse to "get girly" and my friends looks amazing!
I wore a dress purchased a few years ago, but changed up the style with a chunky ivory flower necklace and light summer wedges. I love the bright chartreuse of my Lush dress. Despite the crazy color, it pairs easily with neutral tones and looks even better with a a summer tan. I adore the fun spectrum of colors that my friends wore that day. Coral, lime, mint, lavender, and more... A lovely range of springtime shades!

{¿Cómo se llama?}

What I'm Wearing:
Shirt from Hens and Chicas Etsy Store,
cardigan from Target,
shorts from Gap,
shoes by Vans,
& watch by Michael Kors

My last day of teaching was filled with hilariously, wonderful student videos, a pick up game of soccer, a heart-warming good-bye lunch with the whole staff, and my fun "¿Cómo se llama?" llama shirt!! When it starts getting hot out, it becomes increasingly difficult to wear "teacher clothes" to work. On my last day, I wore a fun Spanish shirt and shorts, and man, was it liberating! Even though, I adore dressing cute work, I am secretly excited for this summer in Chicago! I'll get to wear whatever I want without the fear of looking professional or the chance of running into my students while shopping. Get ready from some fun summer looks once my move is over! See all in a week or so. Wish me well on my 15 hour drive back to Chicago!
