Sseko's 30 ways 30 days challenge

For the last month Sseko Sandals has been hosting a 30 ways for 30 days challenge. I really wanted to remix my Ssekos a bunch of different ways this year. Sadly because I'm in school from 9am-5pm five days a week and have to wear close toed shoes while I am there I haven't gotten the chance to wear them out that much. However I did get to snap a few pictures of my outfit during the weekend! I came up with my own way to tie them! If you've never heard of Ssekos before check out their story here! You can also read my last post about them here! Sseko is an incredible company developed to empower young woman in Uganda by providing jobs that produce money for them to pursue further education! I cannot rave about these shoes or this company enough! Head on over and buy yourself a pair of these versatile sandals! They are so worth it especially since you can tie them and style them in countless ways!

Outfit Details:

Shirt: Thrifted ($5)

Pants: Forever 21 from a garage sale ($1)

Shoes: Ssekos with navy straps 

Bracelet: Made with this tutorial

Outfit post brought to you by Erin

I've had the last couple of weeks off from work and have been enjoying all the free time soaking in the rays of summer. This week I start working full time again and expect that I will start blogging more regularly again. In the meantime here is a little outfit post. When my lovely friend Erin came out to visit a while back I asked her to take some pictures of my new turquoise streak. She so kindly obliged. We decided to head to downtown Glendale to scout out beautiful places to take pictures and ended up with a bunch of great shots. Thank you Erin love! You are so very talented! What would I do without you and your photography skills?!

Outfit post brought to you by David

This outfit post is brought to you by my handsome boy David. He is such a dear to put up with my pickiness for photo taking. Thanks for being my photographer hon. You're a keeper ;)

Every week when I go running I pass by this wonderful be-vined wall. I always think to myself how perfect it would be as a back drop for outfit pictures so when David came out I finally got my wish, an outfit post in front of this beautiful vine covered wall.

Alright onto the outfit. This is a shirt I designed and made myself. I have seen so many of these beautiful slouchy shirts around and I dearly wanted one for myself so I snatched up some fabric and whipped up this little lovely with my friend Kierna. I later made made a second slouchy gray shirt featured in this post.

Outfit Details:
Striped Shirt: Handmade
Shorts: Thrifted, Bullhead Jeans
Shoes: Toms
Thumb ring: Gifted by mother, Target
Floral Ring: Gifted by father, The Cottage Garden II

I later found this shirt at Anthropology which was quite similar and made me want to make a dozen more comfy striped shirts!

Post a pic of your favorite comfy clothes

I would say I have lived in these comfy clothes 90% of the time in the last couple of months. The first picture was taken right after I showered off from a run. The second one was taken when I clearly had a lack of sleep, hence the major bags under my eyes (or do I always have those?). These days I have mostly been spending time at home in long black leggings and over sized shirts.

Outfit Details:

V-neck: Hanes

Picture 2
Black long sleeved shirt: Old Navy
Lime green hoodie: Old Navy
Sweat pants: Express
