Sweet Summer

Ever buy a piece even though it's too small? I'm 100% guilty. Meet the well-loved skirt that had no fitting chance.

The odds are never in my favor but with all the classpassing and races I've been partaking in this summer I've somehow managed to get this skirt on! YAAAS!

I wouldn't recommend buying a piece and hoping that it'll one day fit. But hey, I obviously do it so no judgement from me. Also, tailors can work wonders.

Ahh, there's nothing like these small victories that make summer a little bit sweeter.

Side note, these double drop earrings are from Gemma and Gage. They're handmade and made with love right here in Brooklyn. We all know how much I love discovering new Etsy shops and how much my bank account hates it but make sure you all stop by her shop's page.

Another amazing thing making my summer a little sweeter. These T-Straps from Swedish Hasbeens. Their quirky clogs have captivated me since college. Back then, they were sold in small quantities at my favorite boutiques and almost never in my size (#bigfeetprobs). Finally after detoxing my closet, figuring out what high quality staples could work year round, and fit my personality I decided to go with these (my first love). I mean if I still love their design after all these years then it's just meant to be. Right?

P.s. If you haven't already heard Zinke has gone out of business but their amazing designs can still be found here and for CHEAP. Happy shopping!
