embroidered blouse & cut offs

Free People Saachi Smocked Top (on sale here, rent it here);

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Cut Off Short;

Lack of Color Dunes Cap (love this Free People one for 1/2 the price!)

It was SO gorgeous yesterday!!  It's been quite cool here in Greenville, SC, but yesterday the temps went way up.  I bought this pretty smocked Free People top a while ago so it's pretty much sold out everywhere, but I have linked a few other embroidered tops for fall that I love, below.  I paired this beautiful embroidered top with a pair of AGOLDE cut off shorts and a Lack of Color hat.

gauzy goodness

One Teaspoon Blue Cult High Waist Bonitas (another colour here);

Brixton Dalila Hat (sold out, love this one);

Hope everyone had a great long weekend!  I'm still fighting an ear infection and now I have a cold.  But that would never stop me from going out for ice cream!  The weather was perfect so we headed to the park after so that the kids could play and we could enjoy the summer breeze that we rarely get.  I wore this Jen's Pirate Booty Chiapas Top I purchased at Planet Blue in Boca Raton.  I'm obsessed with Jen's Pirate Booty (raved about the brand last September here - NSFW).  I've also been eyeing this one-shoulder style top.  It's just dreamy fabric.  The details are so pretty.  I paired this beautiful top with a pair of One Teaspoon cutoffs that I also purchased at Planet Blue.  I've collected my share of One Teaspoon Bandits, but I had to have these high-waisted Bonitas.  They are super comfortable!  For those that are in fall fashion mode, this top would of course look great with a pair of jeans and booties.

On our trip to Florida a few weeks back, we stopped in Boca Raton on our way to Miami (specifically Planet Blue in Mizner Park, below).  It's one of the cutest places to shop and I can't wait to go back!  I love Florida (as most do) and I'm devastated and praying for those affected (or will be affected) by the hurricane.

UPDATE: I'm selling this Jen's Pirate Booty top, along with other great items from my closet, and I will be donating 10% of my sales to those affected by the hurricanes.  Shop my items on Poshmark here: https://poshmark.com/closet/marikascloset

kiss me off-the-shoulder

{Free People Kiss Me Tube;

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Loose Fit Cutoff Shorts;

Lack of Color The Spencer Boater;

Prada Minimal Baroque Sunglasses (also here)}

On our shopping trip in Charlotte, NC, a couple of weekends ago, I picked up this pretty pink off-the-shoulder top at Free People.  I was looking for something casual that you can just throw on and go, but not a basic tee (I have enough of those and wore them out in the first few weeks after our move).  This 'Kiss Me Tube' checked off all of the boxes.  But unlike the pink off-the-shoulder top in my last post, this one tends to ride up.  But it's super comfy and flowy, almost like a poncho, perfect for the heat.  I love the raw edges.  We headed out for a casual dinner and walk around downtown Greenville so I paired the off-the-shoulder top with my go-to AGOLDE Parker Vintage Cutoff Shorts (again). (I wasn't joking when I said I have been living in them!)  Not a huge fan of pink?  The Kiss Me Tube also comes in black (which looks more like grey).

Happy shopping!

off-the-shoulder neon pink

{Susana Monaco Maia Top, also here in red;

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Loose Fit Cutoff Shorts;

Prada Minimal Baroque Sunglasses (also here)}

I bought this neon pink Susana Monaco Maia Top months ago from Shopbop (now sold out, but found on other sites, linked above), but with the move and not organizing my closet for weeks I never got around to wearing it.  Of course now it's on sale!  But I'm actually happy about that in a way because I love this top so much that I think I'm going to buy it in red.  This is one of those off-the-shoulder tops that actually stays off the shoulder.  I wore it out for dinner and it never rode up even once.  It's super comfortable too.  I love the cute ties on the sleeves!  It also has a built-in bra, which is a bonus.  But most of all I love it, of course, because it's pink!  This neon pink is not something I see very often (I don't recall the last time neon was trendy, but neon pink is one of my favourite colours so I will scoop it up when I do see it.  I just ordered this tee from Free People!).  I love pairing neon with other neon, especially pink with orange.  I have a pair of orange linen pants that this top would look great with.  Next time!  This time, for a casual dinner on a very hot evening, I paired this top with my favourite AGOLDE Parker Vintage Shorts.  I've been living in them, they're so comfortable.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy shopping!

easy breezy pt II

{FAITHFULL THE BRAND Galle Top;

One Teaspoon Junkyard Skirt (similar);

Lack of Color The Spencer Boater;

Prada Sunglasses (also here)}

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  We're currently enjoying the beautiful sunshine and relaxing by the pool in Florida.  I did not pack this FAITHFULL THE BRAND top, but only because it's been on repeat and is now in the wash.  The first time I wore this FAITHFULL THE BRAND off-the-shoulder top, I styled it with white jeans and mules (see post here) for what I think is the perfect spring outfit.  For a day at the beach, I paired this easy breezy top with my go-to One Teaspoon denim skirt (last seen on the blog here), sandals and, of course, my Lack of Color hat.  On the way to the beach, we could not resist taking pictures by these beautiful white flowers.  Last month, there were pink flowers in the same area, as seen on the blog here.  We're hoping to take a day trip to West Palm Beach this week and I'm excited to see how everything is blooming there.  We also might make a trip to Charleston later in the week and I'm sure it's beautiful there as well.

Hope everyone has a great week!
