CHAMBRAY CHIC

So sorry for the delay in posting any updates for the past week, I caught the flu bug that was been jumping around school lately and have been chained and shackled to my bed, being force-fed tylenol and green tea. It's been rough. Any who... after I returned home from the mall I decided to snap a few pics of my very casual saturday wear, where I picked up a great denim chambray button up. I'm not usually one to really be drawn to the cow-girl-esque kinda vibe but I'll admit I love the structured, heavy fit of the fabric and just how effortlessly it adds a fresh and californian-breath of fresh air instead of the typical cardigan layering. Plus, for some reason it reminds me of the typical summer day, feeling serene and carefree as the wind whips your hair around and the sun warms your face under oversized ray bans. Me gusta. Me gusta mucho.

RINGS & BRACELETS: COMBINATION OF MY DIYS & MOTHER'S JEWELRY BOX

This look was inspired as I was looking through old pictures of my daddy and I came across one of him wearing this exact jacket in as he was alongside one of his airplanes preparing for Vietnam. I wanted to incorporate a classic military-chic piece with my modern obsession with glitter and metallic, alongside some studded flats. I have received multiple comments today of the origin of the Air Force jacket hanging in all the wrong (but oh so right) places, as it is about three sizes too big. These questions almost entirely consisted of, where'd she get that? Well, today felt special because I know this piece is one of a kind, embodying the heroism and strength of the man I love more than anyone each day. This piece is a statement of my personal love for Army Green and the spirit of the past, a connection to my father. What could be better on a not-so-typical monday morning?
