Last week was Paul’s birthday! We didn’t get to go to Austin like originally planned [my mom’s treatments didn’t go too well 🙁 ] but we had such a fun time celebrating in Fort Worth!

He and I went to dinner Thursday night and this outfit got thrown together in 2 seconds. I was just sitting around not sure how to get ready [so ready for #noheatinjuly to be over! haha] and realized we had to leave in 30 seconds. I ripped the tag off this skirt I got ages ago and threw on this white tank.

A few unnecessary thoughts about this outfit:

1. A white tank isn’t groundbreaking. We all have a million in our closets and typically when I pair it with something I’m not always a fan. I’m already pretty fair and white against my skin can just make me look dead and or like I ate one too many bags of Cheetos! #guilty However, one of my favorite Youtubers had ranted and raved about this top and I thought, “Ehh. I’ll give it a shot!” Wore it once and I went back to buy more in other colors. The little straps are so feminine, but the cut on it is actually really flattering and it is super breathable for these humid, Texas days! So I retract my statement. This white tank is groundbreaking.

2. I’m not one for fitted clothing. Give me a potato sack in a print and I’m a happy camper. I was so reserved about buying this skirt but I loved the flirty hemline. It sways when you walk and I just felt really girly! The only color left is nude, you lucky ducks! I’m jealous I don’t have it in that shade because it is so much more versatile! If you like to pair oversized tops with skirts, this is the perfect piece to do it with.

3. Red lips are like a boy that the timing is never right with. When you wear it the results are great, but it stays forever and you’re stuck looking like you kissed the Joker one too many times. Deciding to put it on is a serious commitment! It is a difficult boyfriend, let me tell ya! However, this berry lip was worth it! I used the liner listed above and just put a pink gloss on top! It made it through an appetizer, dinner and popsicles for dessert without even smudging! I was even tempted to wear it on my wedding day and then I knew my luck it would end up on my dress somehow haha!

Sorry for the little ramble, but sometimes I just think posts where I share the random outfit thoughts are the most fun! Like we got to shop together and rant about the fit on pieces, while I down a bag of cheetos! 😉
