That's me when it comes to change...one big scaredy cat! I'm not very good with change, however minor it may be. I am more of a set-schedule, routine, creature of habit type of girl. Especially when it comes to my hair. I'm not exactly sure why I use my hair as a security blanket. I secretly envy all of the girls out there who can change their cut or color as often as they change their underwear.
But me, I just like to keep my hair as easy going as possible. I did a post a couple of weeks ago on wanting to go a bit lighter. Summertime is the perfect excuse to throw in some highlights, although my hair gets lighter naturally because I go to the pool and the beach a lot this time of year. After all the advice seeking (Thanks girls!) and after asking the boyfriend a million times what he thought ("babe, I really don't care"), I decided to just park my indecisive butt at the hairstylist's chair and have her work those scissors. The cut is pretty much the same, with long layers all around, gradually getting shorter in the front to frame my face. But she added some highlights and now my hair is a few shades lighter than it was before.



I do really like the highlights, as it has been years since I've really had any. But I'm still a scaredy cat who's afraid of change, and I don't know how long I can maintain them. So I'll be going back to my former, darker, self in the future. I'll probably be scared of that too!

On another note, I am wearing a new lipstick from Victorias Secret called Scrumptious. I have never tried VS lipsticks, and I was surprised by how smooth and creamy this one feels. I recommend!
It's a peachy-nude with just a hint of a vanilla scent. It's what I was wearing in the picture above, just for reference.

Just a couple outfits Dears! The first is from today ( I get Fridays off). The second is from earlier this week. Let me know what you think!


I took a cue from Chloe, and purchased these boyfriend fit shorts on sale from American Eagle. Tank: Charlotte Russe  Cardi: Halogen (Nordstrom)  Beaded sandals: Steve Madden


Essie Mint Candy Apple



I couldn't wait to wear my new tweed jacket from the Anniversary Sale! Two side notes: 1) I work in a tiny office that feels like an icebox at times. So even in the dog days of Summer, I can wear tweed. 2) Said office is very casual, so I can most definitely wear jeans if and when I want to. They just can't resemble the shorts in the first picture ;)
Halogen collarless cropped tweed jacket: Nordstrom  Black ruffle top: H&M  Jeans: Express  Bag: BCBG  Nude quilted heels (LOVE!): Zara

Have a beautiful weekend

Lace is quite possibly one of my favorite details on clothing, and I've recently seen a ton of it all over basic t-shirts. What a great way to dress up an otherwise casual look.

I recently snapped this up in Evening teal and Poppyseed.






I love the boxiness of this!





I think this one may be my favorite.



My take.


Andee from THE HONEYBEE also featured lacey tops in a post.
Yup, I'm down with the lace.
