In the past I had struggled with finding an outfit for the summer when the weather didn’t quit feel like summer. Chicago had a super late summer this year and I was having to dress warmly through June and even into July. This outfit allowed me to stay warm, while also being able to dress in appropriate summer attire. I picked out a lightweight crop top sweater and paired it with my two slit maxi dress! I received so many compliments on this outfit because not many people would think of pairing a cropped sweater with a maxi dress. Cropped sweaters are great piece to have in any wardrobe because they are wearable throughout the entire year. You can also wear a sweater like this with a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans or mini skirt.

Today I decided I wanted to get creative and create a fun outfit from some old items in my closet. I found this cute Free People top in the back of my closet that I had purchased over 7 years ago. I am always one to clean out my closet and get rid of items I know I won’t wear anymore. For some reason I have a hard time doing that with Free People clothing. I always have confidence that their pieces will eventually come back in style, and with this top it worked out. I decided to pair this tank with some white flare jeans that I got for a great price at Forever21. These flare jeans fit me better than the pair that I got at TopShop and they are 1/4 the price. Both my TopShop and Forever21 flare jeans are high-waisted. I try to always purchase high-waisted bottoms so that I have the option of wearing a crop top or normal top.

LOVE21 vs. Zara

Forever 21’s “LOVE21” contemporary clothing line full of modest and sophisticated silhouettes has really impressed me. To be honest, I never really noticed that there even was a LOVE21 clothing line until recently when I was browsing online. The style of LOVE21 really reminded me of ZARA. If you’re looking for a cheaper version of ZARA then this is the place for you. I was extremely impressed and felt the need to share this with all of you! I went through all of the LOVE21 items and picked out my favorites. Who doesn’t love a good deal?

Another one of my favorite slit tunics! A unique way to make a comfortable shirt stylish. I love pairing this tunic with a pair of converse to give it an edgy vibe.
