I feel like in every year of my life, at least for the past few years, I’ve had a certain outfit or look that encompasses my personal style. Like, if I were a cartoon character, that would be the outfit I’m in for most of the series. This season, it’s been my snakeskin top and overall dress.

I stumbled upon these lovely pieces at H&M when I wasn’t even looking for them. I love a good snakeskin print, but I didn’t feel the need to buy any snakeskin until I saw this top. The cut and feel were perfect for me. Perfect to go under the black overall dress that was staring me down from across the store. 

I don’t necessarily try to be up on the trends like most kids nowadays, but the overall dress had been calling to me for a while. I bought a blue zip-up denim dress from Forever 21, but it wasn’t perfect. This one was. 

While we gazed at each other lovingly, I pictured all the shirts I’d wear under it, how cute it would look with tights. And before I knew it, she was in my closet.

As I had predicted, the snakeskin top and overall dress combo was a vibe. The first time I wore it out, I described myself as “Goth Fran Drescher,” which is honestly such a mood and the energy I want for the rest of my life. 

Of course, I wear the top and dress separately sometimes, but they’re better together. A true match made in H(&M)eaven

Happy August, my lovelies! I’ll spare you my surprise about how slowly yet quickly July went by. Time is irrelevant in the age of Coronavirus. 

When I posted this look to my Instagram, I referred to it as “chill-but-not-chill.” It consists of joggers, a shirt, and sneakers. Sounds pretty chill and casual, right? But I elevated things with my makeup and the fact that I wore a snakeskin shirt. I don’t necessarily categorize snakeskin as casual. In my eyes, it’s pretty badass. Not saying that you can’t be both casual and badass, but you know what I mean. At least I hope so.

Anyway, the inspiration from this outfit came from trying to decide what to wear to dinner at a fancy restaurant. I settled on “glam pajamas,” and thus this look was born. It quickly became one of my favorites. 

The only downside is that these joggers are quite temperamental. I fell in love with them and used to wear them all the time until I shrunk them in the dryer. Sad. So I bought another pair and managed to shrink those, even though I air dried them. 

So what I’m trying to say is, I love feeling comfortable while looking really cute, and if you know of any joggers that won’t shrink, please send them my way.

What’s up cutie patooties? Tired of quarantine yet? I miss seeing my friends more than anything. Whether it’s hitting up some bars, going to house parties, or just getting brunch, I miss seeing their smiling faces and giving them lots of hugs. 

Here’s an outfit I love to wear to social gatherings. As soon as I bought this snakeskin top and leather skirt at H&M, I knew they’d be a dream team. They just look so badass together!

Of course, I always have to wear my KVD Vegan Beauty Everlasting Liquid Lipstick with this look (by the way, if you’re following along on my Instagram, I ended up buying three more tubes), but I like to switch up my shoes. I wore my thigh-high boots to my birthday party, which looked adorable, but I had to keep pulling them up the entire night, which was annoying. I wore my black Timberlands to the New Year’s Eve party my family threw, honestly because I wasn’t trying to get drunk and fall down in front of all my parents’ friends. Priorities! Of course, my black heels are a ride or die and probably look the best out of all of them. 

I’m so excited to take this look out for a spin when we’re allowed out of our houses. What are you most looking forward to when quarantine is over?
