State of Mind

Fervently wishing for a warm, tropical vacation. Please take me anywhere that’s hot and humid with an abundance of yummy tropical drinks.

Wearing a few pieces I picked up in Hawaii earlier this year to further induce my dream-like state of mind.

Wishing everyone a happy weekend wherever you may be! 🙂

Sporty

Wanted to embrace a sportier look in my wardrobe and ended up purchasing the dress and vest at H&M. Really liking how the zipper on the dress and the tightness of it gives off a surfer chic vibe. I thought my black and white sandals would be a perfect complement to the white vest, really embracing the sporty look I want to achieve and also giving a slight nod towards the black and white color trend for spring.

And of course my only pair of sunglasses, at the moment, were the perfect finishing touch. 😛

Flash

Anyone watch Big Bang Theory?  If you do, then you know who Sheldon Cooper is and that he always wears this red Flash shirt.  He inspired my need to incorporate superhero shirts into my closet.  I couldn’t find any red Flash shirts with a material that I actually like but this white one from Junk Food tees was a good alternative.  Now I really need to get a Green Lantern shirt and a Bazinga shirt… 😀

Spring Trench

I’ve been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can finally wear my white lace shorts.  I suppose I can wear it when it’s cold out but it won’t generate that happy anticipatory mood I get when the weather is more pleasing.  I’ll just be cold and miserable, wondering why the heck I wore super short lace shorts on a gloomy gloomy winter day.

In my mind, the trench coat goes hand in hand with spring because it’s such a transitory coat.  It’s long and covers enough to battle the breezes but light enough that I won’t be sweating under the few hours of strong sunshine.  It’s still February and there are still breezes of cold air so the trench was the perfect cover up.

The wedge sandals I’m wearing are another piece from the Prabal Gurung for Target collaboration.  There was the black and white color block and an all red.  I opted for the black and white since it’s such a strong color combination trend and my two favorite colors to wear separate and alone.
