Although this darker green is more of a fall pantone, I like the contrast of it for spring. 

My trusty versatile leather jacket adds some feminine edge, but it can be paired with denim for a softer look, or you can just let the dress do the talking.

I really like the beaded detailing on the collar as it gives it some oomph without being too overdone.

H&M Floral. & A Chat.

Oh hello, hi! Let's chat for a sec. Don't worry, you're not in trouble. Stop sweating.

I always try to be as transparent as possible on this space, no bs. (I learned from the best) Which means sometimes being real on things outside my comfort zone. So, let's talk realness, shall we?

Fact: For every "good" outfit photo, there are 98564 deleted ones.

.

Fact: Over 70% of people would change the way they look.

Fact: Body positvity is way freaking easier said than done.

I'm not gonna preach to you about "learning to love your flaws" because right now I feel like that's not easy. It's really freaking hard. (I've been watching too much Grey's, love ya Karev) 

BUT. There is so much more freedom in not caring, in finding happiness in your own ways. If I could go back and make myself realize that, it would've saved so much wasted time & anxiety & weird compromises with myself that don't make sense like "I skipped lunch so it's okay if I have this chocolate." (????)

I don't want you to have wasted time.

ANYWAY, WDAC's Hallmark moment of the day over. Onto the outfit.....

So it's a little early for a floral crush. Sue me. I couldn't resist the floral crop I found (on sale!) at H&M. The lace trim detailing draws the eye in, and a collar gives it a polished feel. 

High waisted shorts are one of my favorite pairings with a shorter blouse, but skinnies or an edgy skirt look chic as well. This look is pretty versatile, which for me means it'll be sticking around awhile. New bffs.....

Hi, hello.

Question. Would you think less of me if I told you that my first h&m experience was only the other day? It's okay, believe me, I was judging myself too.

Anyway, it was successful, one of the finds being this gem of a sweatshirt. I love a good graphic top, 

and ones with important social messages? Yes please.

I decided to pair it with some skinny jeans and leather jacket, for a little extra flair. I'm also currently dying over the flats; they're a perfect tie-in.

Aaand boom.
