White after Labor Day! Global warming totally negates that outdated rule though, right? Because it's definitely still in the 80's and 90's here in Cali. Also, the blazer is actually a light blush tone that I'm absolutely in LOVE with, primarily because of how much it reminds me of Céline (the French design house, not the Canadian, fabulous though she is).

Also, I finally got around to DIYing these shorts I tweeted about a while ago! I know I'm super late on the trend, but I'm pretty sure these are going to be essential on my trip to Thailand. It was really easy, too! I just grabbed an old pair of jeans that were a little too loose for my liking, and cut the legs off (I used my H&M shorts to figure out what angle and length to cut at). Then, I made some 2 to 1, water to bleach solution, dipped my newly shorn shorts in, and waited! FOREVER. lol. Then I got kinda bored and started splashing upward and adding water for a more subdued effect than the Dries Van Noten pants that inspired this little hack job.

What do you think? :D Any other DIYs you recommend? I rather like getting crafty!

Last review piece for Kmart's Love Your Style line! :D This top is super comfortable (albeit a little static cling-y)--I love the way earthy, pale colors work together, and I love the studded detailing along the neckline. I wish they had made the bottom band more fitted and elastic, as my booty doesn't nearly fill it out and it looks unnecessarily baggy. Nothing a quick trip to the tailor won't fix though! I can't wait to wear this with skinnies for Spring, shorts for Summer, and a jeans, boots, and a trench for Fall!  

Anyway, if I somehow haven't convinced you to check out the LYS line yet, just wait for my final recap and review. I was amazed by the quality I was getting for the price point and can't share what other items I have my eye on! :D

Have you guys tried the LYS line yet? Let me know what you think! ♥

 I love love love Kmart's new plus size line, Love Your Style, Love Your Size. I was a bit skeptical when I received the press release--I assumed it would be dowdy, boxy clothing in boring, age-inappropriate prints.

However, once I caught sight of the images from their lookbook, I knew I had to give them a chance. I'll be sharing a few pieces over the next few days, starting with this skirt! I'll do a quick wrap up and full review when all the pieces have been outfitted. ;) 

*Spoiler: I'm pretty impressed! :) This colorful skirt is my favorite piece of them, all! :D

Have any of you readers found cute clothes at Kmart?? I've always considered their plus size selection to be limited but I am definitely loving this new line! Will you guys be checking it out or purchasing from the new line? Let me know! :D

Yours, Etc.
