happenstance home

This board is full of many things that I use constantly, a couple new things I've picked up, and one item that I will probably get someday.

My most used piece of clothing so far this summer is this Free People Dress.  It's one that you can just throw on and dress it up or down.  The fit is really forgiving.  It is on sale again so it's a good time to get one.

I like this simple Detroit City Sweatshirt.

I picked up this Circle Straw Crossbody Purse for Summer.  It's nice to use, and everywhere I go people love it.  Never knew it would be so popular.

I wear this pair of Rose Gold Superga's all the time - and with that dress.

I just went to AE and picked up this hooded cardigan and this peplum tank.   The cardigan is so super soft you won't believe it - the online picture doesn't do it any favors.  It's a I will live in it kind of soft.  The peplum top is just easy to wear and cute.  They both come in lots of colors.

Next I will show you some of the makeup that I use daily.

Foundation isn't my favorite thing.  I often think its too heavy or oily.  This last time I went to get a new kind I picked up this Clinique Fit.  It is lightweight and really feels just like your skin.  I actually look forward to putting a little on each day.  It is also SPF 40.  Because of all that I wanted to share it.  I use the foundation brush out of this set in the bottom corner to put it on.  This brush is amazing too - it's soft and the foundation just spreads on without the brush ever looking like it was even used.  Love both of these products so much!  I think the brush set would make great gifts.

The last two items are basics that I have been using and replacing for years.  The first is Becca Blush in Flowerchild.  It's just a really good blush color, and it goes on very easily.  Also, this IT Lipgloss in Naturally Pretty  It is not sticky and the color really is just very pretty.  It just feels soothing and good when it's on.  It's so nice when you find something that you like, and they still haven't discontinued it :)

I've mentioned before that I really like to be comfortable.

If my clothes aren't comfortable or if they don't feel like me then I feel edgy.  I've learned over the years it's better to dress the way you want to feel -  for my introverted self dressing to feel relaxed really helps.

Here are some of my favorite combinations I've been enjoying lately.

So, Im no fashionista.  I think simple is better.  I don't think that things have to cost a lot to be good or look nice.  I have a J. Crew outlet necklace that I paid $9 for that is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry I have, and it gets compliments every time I wear it.

Hope you enjoyed seeing into a bit of my closet, and maybe you found a little inspiration here today.
