Fancy Pants

So here it is,  my first post in over a month! It feels good to be back, I must say I have really missed it. But like I said, a break is good sometimes, and it was definitely what I needed for a little while. Without getting too sappy or boring you to death with the details, I went through a breakup recently and taking a step back from my blog was something I needed to do to really heal. It's always good to have some "me" time, and girl time, too, or course! But I am back now, and excited to share these insane pants with you guys. I love the wild ikat print paired with the bright pink sweater. It is a loud statement outfit, and I had so much fun wearing it. This sweater is my new obsession going into the Fall months, the color, fit, and warmth are perfect.

{Weekend Snapshots: Friends Edition}

This past weekend, my best friend from high school was in town from the East Coast. It was so good to get together with all of my friends and reunite with our bestie. It was some much over due girl time. Here are some snapshots from the weekend with the girls, and some other instagram shots. For more daily photos follow me on instagram @ currentlycraving.

Summer Stripes

Hello, stripes. you are my newest obsession. And you, my navy blue striped maxi skirt, are treating me well. I don't know about you, but this summer has been all about the more notical look. I feel like the more preppy look is "in" more than ever in my neck of the woods. I mean, it is always around, because preppy is classic, but lately I have seen more and more west coast boys dressed to impress, and I am liking what I see. This skirt is perfect for a cooler summer day, with a nice cotton button down tied up to be a little bit more flirty, this skirt can do no wrong.

White on White

Is there anything more crisp and clean looking that white on white? The perfect summer color to pair together. I have to admit, I fet a bit odd wearing just white, so I added some color with my favorite pink blazer and a blue rhinestone bracelet. I opted for nude heels because of the other color pieces, but fun shoes would really spice up this look, too.

Casual Sunday

After what seemed like months of rain (it was really only a week), Seattle finally recived some much needed sunshine! I had a busy weekend, and was beyond excited for the lazy Sunday to come around. I didn't even attempt to dress up. I grabbed by favorite boyfriend shorts, and baggy shirt and called it good. Sometimes, dressing down is just as fashionable as dressing to impress. I may not be breaking any fashion rules, or carving my path in uncharted fashion territories, but I was comfortable on a warm, lazy Sunday.

Lets talk Leopard

Does leopard print make anyone else feel like they are in the jungle? Maybe I am alone on that one, but it does make me feel more spunky. I love throwing on a animal print, especially when it is leopard. Such a great way to add excitement, texture, and fun to an outfit. I honestly feel more fierce in leopard print, or any animal print really. It is almost as exciting as sequins for me, which is obviously a lot. I went with some distressed jeans and simple black heels because I wanted to focus on the fabulousness of the shirt, as well as bring attention to my top bun. The pink clutch (which I made, to see how see here) adds some much needed color.

Coral Ruffle Party

I kind of feel as though this dress slightly resembles a potato bag that just happens to be belted, I really love it. Maybe it's the color, or maybe it's the comfort factor, but either way, I just can't get over it. I love the double ruffle on the top, and the fit of it. The baggy fit is not only comfortable, but perfect for a hot day (which is really way this day). I belted it to add a little definition to my waist, but it works without it as well for a more beachy look.
