Today’s look is inspired by Aerith Gainsborough Today’s look is inspired by Aerith Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII. I saw this dress online and just had to have it! It’s such a whimsical, feminine piece, and the lightweight fabric is perfect for summer!  My flower garden is sprouting but the flowers haven’t bloomed yet. Maybe if I wear this and talk to my flowers they will grow faster? Always worth a shot 🌸🌸

As long as my arms can breathe, I’m good to go!  This @freepeople bralette is a favorite of mine. It’s so comfy, and the color is such a beautiful sunset orange. It adds the perfect pop of color!  #ootd #outfitflatlay #cuteandcasual #comfystyle #discoverunder500 #discoverunder1000 #summerstyle #happyathome #wearhappy #quarantinelife #ootdinspo #jeansfashion #summerstyleinspo
My favorite way to look more put together is alway My favorite way to look more put together is always to utilize hair accessories! And it is a great way to keep your hair back in this warm weather!  It is so sunny and beautiful and HOT here that I decided to wear the sunshine in my outfit today! I’ve never been one to wear a lot of yellow, but this target tee was so cute that I had to get it. It really does a great job of adding a fun touch to my outfit even if I’m inside working all day

She has the most soothing voice ever!  I’ve been doing some snooping around online for some great sales and rounded up a few of my faves! I’m most excited for the Madewell jeans on MAJOR sale. These babies are some of my all-time faves; they were worth every penny when they were full-price, so they’re definitely worth the money at half-price!
Happy Thursday! Has this week felt excruciatingly Happy Thursday! Has this week felt excruciatingly long for anyone else? When’s the next 3-day weekend happening?  This blouse from Abercrombie is such a cute summer staple, and it’s currently on sale! I’m really digging the puff sleeve, and the color is so perfect for this time of year. Plus, it matches my sandals, so I’m feeling extra put together today!

I rounded up some of my picks from shopping online I rounded up some of my picks from shopping online this weekend! There are so many amazing summer sandals on sale at @nordstrom this weekend! And I’m loving all of the new summer style that just launched at @madewell! Even better; it’s all on sale!  I just purchased this hoodie from @wholesomeculture, and now it’s on sale! Their business model is fantastic, and I always love supporting companies that give back. Anyone else like me where it doesn’t matter how hot it is; they will still wear hoodies all year? 
Check out all of my picks and where to find them on the blog! I included them in my weekly fashion wrap up this week!

Live on the blog this weekend! I’ve wrapped up a Live on the blog this weekend! I’ve wrapped up all of my outfits from this week so you can see what I’m wearing as we transition from spring to summer (check the link in the bio for more!) I have to say, it has been HOT here this week. We have also been getting plenty of afternoon thunderstorms which I am absolutely loving!  I wore some of my favorite recent purchases this week. The pink babydoll dress from target is such a fun summer color and so easy to wear! I’m also loving the oversized My. Fuji tee from @urbanoutfitters. I had some travel plans to Japan fall through this year, so I will just live vicariously through this shirt 😂

I posted my morning skincare routine on the blog! I posted my morning skincare routine on the blog! Check the link in the bio 👍  As someone with dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin, trying new products can be scary. Some would break me out, and some would work for a a little while and then my skin would be back to its normal issues. After a ton of research and trial/error, I have finally found a full k-beauty routine that works well for me! 
None of these products have caused me any breakouts, and they have done wonders for keeping my skin happy, healthy, and hydrated! Aaaand they can all be purchased very easily on Amazon, so there is no need to track down a K-beauty retailer!

This cute little pajama set is an @amazon find! As This cute little pajama set is an @amazon find! As a fan of both avocados and puns, I completely approve. And I had a matching scrunchie that is also from Amazon! 
Is it okay to wear this while working from home if I specifically change into it to work? I’m sure everyone on Zoom will enjoy it 😂

Blog is now live! offbeatyouth.com where you can s Blog is now live! offbeatyouth.com where you can shop my looks!  Today, I’m showing three of my favorite ways to style white tops for the summer! This is my favorite summer fashion trend, and I hope it persists until the end of time... This piece is a particular favorite of mine! I am loving the puff sleeve trend this year. It just creates such a nice silhouette, and really adds such extra “oomph” to a casual look.

These are just a few of my fave loungewear picks. We are all probably spending more time in our PJs lately; might as well look cute!
