Summertime

DSC_0768
I was channeling Kelly Bundy a bit with this outfit from last Saturday, down to my 80s Jordache shorts and bleached blonde hair with roots. My friend Erin from Detroit came to visit and we spent some time shopping, grabbing dinner and margaritas on a rooftop and going out to my favorite bar. I received many compliments on my mom jean-like shorts, which I took with great pride. These are probably my most favorite shorts I own and all thanks to Paige from Barefoot & Vintage for thinking of me.
I styled this outfit around the fact that I wanted the ability to easily be able to show off the almost complete tattoo. With one swift movement, the blazer could be removed during dinner on the rooftop patio and I could feel more Kelly Bundy-like. I liked the idea of styling the blazer in a more casual, weekend way other than how I've styled it for work with a lace tank top and cropped trousers. I just took a look at how I styled this bustier top last July, which reminds me I need to wear this top more!

The femininity of your top with your tattoo is a nice mix proving opposites attract. Also loving the pop of color with your jacket!

Your tattoo is absolutely beautiful. And I have to tell you, when I saw the first picture I actually thought of Kelly Bundy! Then I saw that's what you were going for...so you hit the nail on the head :)

First of all, you know you're way classier than Kelly Bundy. Second, I mentioned Kelly Bundy in a post of mine way back when and it has since been one of my biggest search finder things, so beware. People are weird . . .

At any rate, this top is my absolute fave on you and I love the pink blazer. Your ink looks ravishing! (Can you call a tat ravishing? Should I have said bad ass? Cause I can't call flowers bad ass . . .)

You look gorgeous! Bright and bold colors look so good on you! Rooftop margaritas sound pretty perfec, if you ever find yourself in Boulder, CO, stop by the Rio for one- they limit your intake to 2 because they are so huge and strong! yum.
Hope you're having a great day

I love how you said you could remove your blazer in 'one swift movement'... I then pictured you taking off your blazer like a ninja. Tada!
Anywho, you and your ink look pretty hot!
