Caralina Style: May 2014

Insta-Lately

Hi everyone! I am so sorry I haven't been posting as much as usual. This past week has been working all day and researching cars (as I mentioned in my last post, at 20 years old I'm finally looking for my first car!) until I almost fall asleep. But I should have an outfit post sometime soon! Anyways, until then here are some of my recent Instagrams, my account is @cara_194 if you don't already follow me :)

Red, white, and blue for Memorial Day!

I've been on a mission for blue mirrored aviators, but I can't justify buying the Ray-Ban version so this pair for $13 at Old Navy is perfect!

Pretty peonies <3

And hydrangeas in my back yard, my second favorite flower next to peonies! Thanks for reading!

My Summer Style Link Up!

I am participating in the My Summer Style Link Up hosted by Sarah Smile Blog! I really wanted to do an outfit post for this but I just started working again in my dad's office and I'm on a big used car search (finally getting my first car at 20 years old!) so here is a set of my summer "uniforms" I guess you could say. What I typically wear from regular day, special occasion, and lazy days!

Home for the Summer

I finished my final exams last Friday and came home to North Carolina on Saturday. It's so nice to be back in the south! I've missed the nice weather, my family, my boyfriend, my dogs and air conditioning, because my school apartment did not have any. Anyways here is a mostly navy outfit!

Chambray: Madewell (old), Necklace: J. Crew, Skirt: Lilly Pulitzer (old), Belt: Lilly Pulitzer (old, similar), Shoes: Jack Rogers, Bracelets: Kiel James Patrick, Alex and Ani, Earrings: Loren Hope

Thanks to my boyfriend for taking the pictures!

Also, these pictures were taken yesterday but I got my hair cut today for the first time in about 6 months!

Looks for Less: Sunglasses Edition

I really like sunglasses, but I really don't wear them that often. I usually just have 1 pair at a time and I only buy really cheap ones, I just don't think I wear them enough to justify buying a really expensive pair. So when the cheap pair inevitably breaks, it's always fun going to get a new pair. So here are some looks for less that I will probably plan on getting this summer!

Wishlist Wednesday: Romper Edition

I've never had a romper, but I've always really liked them. Hannah has a few, her most recent post is my favorite! We recently got new Forever 21 near campus and I really liked one of their rompers, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy it. I hope to find a few this summer and here are some of my favorites :)
