I posted on Instagram the other day about how a cute pair of jeans/pants can make ALL the difference in an outfit. It can make a boring outfit into a cute outfit really easily. I think I only own one plain pair of jeans (which I'll use to demonstrate and compare for you), because ripped, patterned, high waisted, or fringed jeans are just so much better.

Mismatched Outfit: Polka Dots & Geometric Print
I've been dubbed the "kimono queen" by many, which I don't mind one bit!! Kimonos are one of the easiest ways to accessorize an outfit, just like a cute pair of shoes or a necklace. I probably have WAY too many kimonos, but I'll never admit to that ;) I'm so ready for summer and all the cute clothes that come with it. Ripped jean shorts are pretty much a staple for summer, and can layer well with most things.

What Do I Wear With Flare Pants?
I'm one of these people who believes that leggings should not be worn as pants, only because I don't think camel toe or seeing right through to your underwear in the butt area is cute haha. I'm ALL for leggings as pants if your shirt is long enough. Which is also the struggle with flare pants, because I don't like any weird crotch area going on haha. This all brings me to this lace up t-shirt from Phoenix & Kate, because it is long enough to wear with my flares.

Appliqué Denim Skirt
I'm loving that appliqué denim is back! It reminds me of my Abercrombie days and how much I loved that store as a teenager haha. Today I went to Anthropologie in Walnut Creek to pick out fun decor pieces for my upcoming photography workshop that I'm teaching. I do a styled shoot portion, and this year the theme is neon. While I was there, my friend Morgan snapped a few photos of my new denim skirt on their outdoor patio.

Styled Two Ways: Periwinkle Lace Romper
Rompers are kind of my favorite, because like dresses, it's one and done. The other thing I love about rompers is I feel like they can be dressed up or down really easily, depending on the occasion. I've seen this romper online for a while now (you've probably seen the maxi version of this dress), and wondered well how do I wear a bra with that?!

Wine Tasting & Summer Weather
We've been working hard on our large side yard renovation, so we decided to take a break to wine taste at Retzlaff Winery in Livermore with our friends Alana and Andy. We live really close to the Arroyo Trail, which takes you right out to the wineries. I'd be dying to do this bike ride again, ever since we went last summer. But first things first, I had to get a bike.

Get To Know Me Fridays, Part 2: Random Facts
1) I'd much rather FaceTime/Skype then chat on the phone. Talking on the phone is not my jam
2) I'm super sensitive, aka I cry easily when people are mean or offend me
3) I have an obsession with donkeys! One day I will have one as a pet!
4) My stuffed animal growing up was a teddy bear named Teddy. My friend Alana who I met in community college had a stuffed animal that was a dog, named Doggy. We were meant to be friends!

Thrifted "Little Black Dress"
You will RARELY find me in tight, fitted clothes like this. I just feel more comfortable in a flowy dress or loose fitting graphic tee. But sometimes you just need a little black dress for a fancier occasion, and I love the idea of finding something with fringe (DUH!). I really don't dress up often, in fact I find ways around it because I don't usually like the stereotypical fancy clothes. Fringe makes me happy, so this dress is totally my jam!

Krava Bowl in Avila Beach
If you follow me on Instagram, then you saw that we were in San Luis Obispo a little over a week ago. We headed down Friday morning, and made our first stop Krava Bowl in Avila Beach. We sat and ate it on the pier, and then took Sawyer on a long walk on our favorite Bob Jones Trail. If you haven't walked this trail before, I highly suggest it. It's so pretty, an easy stroll, and the weather is usually really nice. Most of the time we start our walk at the beginning of the Bob Jones Trail and we end on it in Avila, then eat Krava Bowl.

"Sequins On A Tuesday, You're So Fancy"
I'll never forget the time that I was wearing a sequined shirt (probably with jeans or something) on a Tuesday, and we went for coffee in downtown San Luis Obispo. The girl looked at me and said something similar to, "sequins on a Tuesday, you're so fancy."
