Floral Patterns for Summer

J's Outfit: Skirt- NastyGal, Top- Bargain Find, Wedges- Target, Bag- FreePeople

Floral patterns remind me of summer and the hot sun so this top that I found at a random street store here in Vietnam perfectly matches the weather here! It's also made of a very sheer material so it keeps me cool. I kept the rest of my outfit simple, my skater skirt from NastyGal has been one of my go-to pieces here because it can easily be dressed up or down. It's been a while since I shopped so I was really happy to find some items for super cheap (bargaining of course), I also hunted down these awesome shades the other day and I'm in love with them!

I'm nearing my 3 months mark in Vietnam, there are things I hate here and things I love...I have a few months left here so I'm trying to savor every moment. If you've been following our Instagram (@buylovegivelove) then you'll know that C is coming to visit sometime before I head back home so I can't wait! I'm saving a few things that I've been wanting to do here for when she comes ;) 

Happy Friday- I hope everyone has a great weekend! 

Love, J

I know I've mentioned in a post before that I was on the search for some floral pants...well, Celia has found a cute pair and I on the other hand still have not. But it's Ok! I found some Camo printed pants that I absolutely LOVE so that itch is gone ;)

Printed pants are so fun and easy, they instantly jazz up outfits without even doing much and they're perfect for the transition into fall. I also love not having to worry about the rest of my outfit when wearing printed pants- they make statements on its own.  Zara has some really cute ones out right now if you're having trouble finding some, great prints and PERFECT fits!

Also, C and I watched Pitch Perfect the other night and it was hilarious (watch it if you haven't already!)- we're officially in love with Fat Amy, she was the highlight of the movie <3

J's Outfit: Top & Shoes- Zara, Tank & Skirt- Forever 21,  Sunglasses- Chanel (gifted by C as a xmas gift years ago)

Happy Friday! Subtle prints like mini florals and stripes (my top is very thinly striped) made our outfits coordinate in its own way- basic colors like black/white/browns/greys mixed in with random colors here and there are always my go-to type outfits, 1 colored item and the rest basic..easy!

Can't believe it's OCTOBER next week...Oct is the official start to the holidays (if you don't know already Halloween is one of our FAVORITE holidays!) so as excited as we are that Oct is right around the corner...it's also freaking us out that it's...right around the corner. We haven't even planned out our costumes yet and usually we know WAY ahead of time what were going to be...

time needs to slow down a little.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

A while ago I did an inspiration post on floral patterns- I was loving it then and I'm still loving it now! Since floral patterns make a statement on its own I like to keep the rest of my outfit simple. Celia and I worked on a few things for Buylove this past Saturday and it was HOT (it was around 90-100 degrees this weekend!) so our floral skirts were perfect & kept us cool.

Floral, Floral, Floral- I'm in love with floral. I've BEEN loving floral since the year started and I'm really not sure what triggered it. It's such a fun pattern to play with because there are so many different types of floral design and it's exploding everywhere- I'm seeing them on pants, tops, purses, shoes, and accessories, there's so many options! I'm still on the search for some floral pants though, all the ones I liked have been sold out of my size so sadly I still don't own a pair.

We've been going through some major heat waves lately and the floral patterns are perfect for summer- they add style to any outfit and flowers in general are just sweet to look at!

What We Wore: Summer Loving!!

We haven't blogged an outfit in awhile, so we thought it would be fun (we've also been super busy over here) but it's officially summer! As you can tell by our outfits we're busting out all our floral, shorts/skirts, wedges, and of course the absolute MUST for summer.. bright colored nails! ;) Even though it's been super hot, outfits during summer are so much fun to play dress up with. Enjoy (and try to stay cool) in the heat, friends!!!
