Under My Umbrella, ella, ella



What I'm wearing:
*Forever 21 Umbrella Print Top
*anthropologie Bombast & Cymbals Skirt
*Dolce Vita "Jacquie Lalo" Clog Sandal
*anthropologie "Stormy Seas" Necklace in Yellow


I kind of hate my outfit today but I'm still wearing it to work, and I'm still posting this outfit on the blog. I think it worked well in my mind, just not in execution. But I started this blog to be a log of what I've been wearing, so this look belongs on here too.


You can see that this top is kind of cropped. I picked up this umbrella printed top while home for the weekend. I think it would look better tucked in, but I think it looks a bit more fun not. One change I would definitely make would be to switch it to a tighter, more pencil-shaped skirt instead of the one that I picked. I just really wanted to wear this color!


Hate the fact that my necklace is not laying straight right now. That's one of the things I don't love about statement necklaces, sometimes you have to make sure that they look alright!


Didn't mean to make this post sound kind of cranky or whiny. But I'm pretty sure I'm having a delayed case of the Mondays on this Tuesday. I was too busy yesterday to take real pics of what I was wearing, but you can see some quick snaps after the jump!


What I'm wearing:
*BCBG "Tana" Oversized Top in Fuschia
*Uniqlo Cropped Chinos in Army Green
*Aerosoles Lace-up Wedges
*Forever 21 "Binocular Charm" Necklace


This was a very easy outfit to put together. Just threw it on after waking up after a very late night flight back to the city. Loved the drapey top, and I am surprised I liked the chinos as much as I did. I always think of chinos as being very frumpy, but I really this pair of Uniqlo ones were very lightweight and amazingly comfortable. 

Here's to a better rests of the week!

    I actually love this look. It's relaxed but not sloppy and the print and color are very cheerful and season appropriate. I am actually pinning it as a wardrobe remix inspiration.

    I think you look absolutely adorable today! But, I know what it's like to not be comfortable in an outfit. I love the umbrella print top!

    Way too hard on yourself! I think the outfit looks great. And that is a lovely top – I think it would look so nice with cropped skinny pants too!

    Rosa, I actually really liked the first outfit. It's super cute! You're being too hard on yourself - the proportions are really fun and the cut of the top and bottom looks really good on you. :)

    No, I LOVE this outfit! How can you hate it? Where is the skirt from, I did not see it listed but I maybe missed it? It's adorable!

    You guys are all so awesome, thanks for making me feel better about my outfit!

    Kinsey,
    The skirt is from anthropologie last year or so. I mistakenly cut and pasted a name of a shirt I wore with it last year instead of the skirt name. It's updated now.

    I actually love this outfit - something about the fit of the top makes it look fresh and fabulous :)

    I totally disagree with you I think this outfit is perfection!!! I love that quirky print top and am really mad that F21 has really dropped the ball on those this year.

    Ok I ment to say that Anthro has dropped the ball on those tops and F21 is picking up the slack. Note to self don't be watching TV while commenting!

    Hate this outfit? But whyyyy? When I saw it, I was like, "Rosa looks so summery and fun!" I really love that bright yellow necklace, especially with the coral-y skirt! It reminds me of a really refreshing fruit punch drink, haha!
