  • Oh howdy there, and welcome to another Outfits of the Week.

  • Or as I like to call it: Five Aspirational Outfits I Never Actually Wore Out

  • But I Put Together While Listening to Hot Chelle Rae Last Night, and I Thought That They Were Cute

  • So that's the video that you're watching right now.

  • For Monday, I started out the outfit with a simple white flowy dress.

  • I really like to take timeless basics like this basic white dress,

  • and switch out my accessories based on the current trend of the season.

  • That's my way of balancing investing in timeless basics like this white dress that are gonna last me for years and years and years,

  • but also occasionally keeping them updated like the fashionista I am.

  • I do like to have a trendy look here and there

  • So, for example,

  • I bought this leopard belt and this adorable, but entirely impractical,

  • tiny little leopard purse to help kind of update some of my more basic pieces.

  • And I finished up the outfit with some platform espadrilles that match my dress,

  • and complete the kind of playful funky vibe of this outfit.

  • [Music continues]

  • I called this outfit my pajama-chic outfit.

  • Okay, in reality, my pajamas are this old Periodic Table of the Elements t-shirt,

  • with a hole in the armpit that I've been wearing since second grade,

  • but, this top is what I imagined I'd wear to bed if I actually had my shit together.

  • It is insanely soft and comfortable but the plunge neckline makes it feel a little bit fancy.

  • Since the top is a bit more tailored, I passed up my usual distressed cutoff shorts,

  • and went for this clean, dark-wash pair instead.

  • I really like the unique 90s inspired silhouette of these shorts,

  • and they're also a great option for those of y'all who, like,

  • are not into having the bottom of your butt cheeks hanging out your shorts,

  • like, these ones are a pretty reasonable length, I think.

  • For my shoes, I went for these super sleek, super minimal, just, like, tiny little strappy shoes.

  • I always think about the vibe that my outfit has going on so far and I try to just carry that through my shoes.

  • So, I felt like I had a bit of a Parisian chic vibe going on.

  • So, I wanted some nice sleek and chic sandals as well.

  • And to finish everything off, I went for this pearl purse which, first of all, is just [pauses]

  • absolutely gorgeous and it also matches with the white piping on my top.

  • So, it was the perfect way to tie the color palette of the whole outfit together.

  • [Music continues]

  • Of course, we've got to have at least one outfit that is picnic ready in this video.

  • This is what people in LA call a top and people everywhere else in America called a glorified bra.

  • It really is puttin' the crop in crop top,

  • But I am a sucker for this incredible lace-up detail in the back

  • and, of course the fact that it was designed by Jen Im.

  • I am such a sucker for patterned pants,

  • but I have to be careful when buying them, because sometimes if the pattern is too crazy,

  • it makes my legs look shorter.

  • Like, I am all torso,

  • and not very much leg, which is why I'm always wearing high-waisted things

  • to, like, try to fool you guys into thinking I'm proportional.

  • Anyways, I like that these were mostly black so they still keep my legs pretty streamlined-

  • - while having a little bit of pattern.

  • I went for these v-cut heels to tie in the white on the top and the white flowers in the pants,

  • and I added this pearl purse to finish off the ladylike look.

  • And also just 'cause I'm obsessed with this purse and I wear it with everything.

  • [Music continues]

  • Thursday's outfit is probably the trendiest shit you'll ever see me wear.

  • You know, normally I don't do this hard with trends,

  • But recently, I've just been, like, so inspired by how crazy fashion is right now.

  • Like, if you look on the Instagram explore page, if you look at the Met Gala, if you look at runways, like...

  • Fashion is just crazy right now. There's so many colors. There's so many textures.

  • There's so many new silhouettes.

  • So, I don't know, it just got me excited and I wanted to get extra funky with this outfit.

  • I knew I wanted to go for kind of a Spice Girls vibe with this outfit,

  • so I started with this sheer leopard print top,

  • and matched it with orange velvet skirt for a little bit of contrasting textures.

  • I normally find when I'm mixing patterns and textures and colors

  • It's nice to tie everything together with the same color accessories throughout.

  • So for this outfit I went with black. I have these black platform Docs,

  • I have a black fanny pack and I also threw on a black velvet choker to go full-send 90s mode.

  • [Music continues]

  • My outfit for Friday looks like I put so much effort into thinking it out

  • but honestly, it was one of the simplest ones for this video because [pause]

  • all I did was was put a dress over my head and that was pretty much the whole outfit.

  • That is the glory of a good old maxi dress.

  • And it's the perfect thing for the summer because it's just easy to throw on.

  • It's cute as hell. It's very comfortable. There is sufficient crotch ventilation.

  • What more could you ask for?

  • Since this dress is so flowy and girly and ruffly,

  • I wanted to edge things up with the accessories. So I went for these ultra chunky boots from Unif.

  • Years ago, I never ever would have thought this is my style but

  • they've been so fun to throw on with like vintage slip dresses and maxi dresses like this.

  • Any outfit that feels a little bit girly and then I can just ~juxtapose~ it with a really chunky badass shoe.

  • Alright, those are all the outfits that I have for you guys. I hope this gave you some inspiration.

  • I also hope this gave /me/ some inspiration to actually wear these outfits for, like, a full day

  • and not just to do this video.

  • Also, thank you so much for your patience this week. I know my video was a little bit late.

  • Alrighty, I will see you guys next week. Bye!
