MONOCHROME BLUE

My Nikon J1 came in the mail yesterday! This means my photos will most likely be taken on that camera now, instead of my iPhone, and I'll start filming videos and posting them on my YouTube channel. Exciting stuff.

I wore this outfit the other day when I went to MILK with my friend, Bridgette. Didn't catch that post? Read it HERE! The sun was blazing and it definitely verged on 'hot' at some points, but for the most part, this outfit was perfect for that day's mid 80 degree weather. I've mentioned before that I love black clothing, and that most of my wardrobe is black (75%, I think i said). So it's somewhat ironic that all the outfits I've posted so far have been completely devoid of black clothing items. I'm a fraud.

I don't think I mentioned this in my "MILK" post, but despite our efforts to not spend large amounts of money on clothing that day....

...yup, I made two (ridiculously) expensive purchases. Yay for the closet, nay for my bank account. [You'll find out more about those items in a future post or video :)]

Ahhhh, confused as always.

After a light lunch at the Grove, we headed to Beverly Hills to visit the Kitson store on Melrose Ave.

Before walking into the store, I told my friend that I wasn't going to buy anything. At least, that was the goal. You can probably guess that I caved, and ended up buying something. I won't tell you what I got yet, but look at this pillow! I want it for my dorm, so hopefully I can go back to Kitson sometime soon.

HAHA I wish.

Enough of this, lets go back to the outfit. I got the top in Japan, so I couldn't find the link for it, but the back is a solid knit whereas the front part is mesh-y and has a floral pattern embroidered on top. I love this top SO much, even though I don't wear it very often. It's very unique and perfect for summer, since the mesh is cool and slightly cheeky,  but still completely appropriate with a bralette worn underneath (I wore this one). 

I also love these boyfriend jeans. I recently picked them up at Zara, and the wash is just the right color - not too light. I'm not always a huge fan of distressed denim, but I am when it comes to boyfriend jeans. Boyfriend jeans can be tricky to pull off because they do have a boxier fit and can make you look larger. Distressed details can help offset this unfortunate occurrence. My shoes are white converse, the same ones I wore in this post.

My sunnies are from TOMS. I'm kind of obsessed with them. What's great about TOMS products is that for every item you buy, the company gives something back to people in need. For every pair of sunglasses sold, TOMS provides medical services that give eyesight to someone who is visually impaired. So not only do you get a super cute pair of sunglasses, but you're also helping out people who may not be as fortunate as you are!

These are some of my favorite items in my wardrobe right now, so hopefully you guys enjoyed this post! I would love to hear your comments :)
