casual flare.

jeans: mizzae, tunic: saachi, shoes: jessica simpson, ring & earrings: vintage

ladies and gentlemen: this is the last of the tunic posts, i hope you all enjoyed seeing different way to wear them! this last look was the most casual and definitely something i'd wear for a relaxing day out. i love these flared trousers with just about everything because they're insanely huge at the bottom - i mean, they're borderline comical!

i also wanted to reach out to you guys for some help with a quote wall i'm putting together in my room. do you have a favorite quote that you'd like to share? i'll post some of my favorites soon - a good quote always makes me smile!

have a fantastic weekend and treat yourself to something nice :)

Here's my favourite quote , I use it as a footer on my e-mail pages :'It's not so much that I'd like to rule the world, I just want to keep it my fridge and have a slice of it whenever I'm hungry'. I found it in Bella Pollen's book 'All about men'.; June 17, 2011 at 9:36 AM

A few quotes.

Never make someone priority when you're just an option.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray. For faith does not get you around trouble, it gets you through it...

You come to love not by finding the perfect person - but - by seeing
an imperfect person perfectly!

Sara SHOEmaker said...: wow those are some major Flare jeans girl! you pull them off though-perfect shoe choice. Jessica SImpson is really coming up with some cute shoes! Here's my quote from Audrey Hepburn:
“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

Tuesday in Amsterdam said...: I enjoyed the tunic posts! Thanks for sharing them with us. I liked this one also: tribal-ish. the flared pants are pretty cool!

One of my favorite quote--which my dad uses a lot-- is IF YOU CAN'T TAKE IT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT. This is what I get out of that quote: Life throws you curve balls, and sometimes the pressures of life is so intense but when I feel like giving up I remember that if I can't take the crap that life throws at me and either deal with them or ignore 'em and keep on smiling and enjoying live...then I won't make it.

Anonymous said...: one of my quotes that i think of bc i tend to compare myself with others and try to be like is "God will never help you be someone else" by joyce meyer. the other is when i am tempted to buy a cheap item cuz it cost less especially if its a staple. like something that you must invest money in cuz it will last longer. my dad will always say "cheap things are expensive" it makes me laugh cuz its so true...explanation...you buy the cheap (less quality) item cuz its cheap and save money but its ends up falling apart on you so you end going to buy the high quality item (which in most cases cost a lil more)so you ended spending unnecessary money on an cheap item when you could have just gotten the high quality item and saved money...sorry for the long explanation... but hope you understand...; June 18, 2011 at 8:26 PM
