off the shoulder Archives - What Nicole Wore

Happy Wednesday and welcome to this month’s installment of How I Style It! I cannot believe that August is already here, although I do have to share that I’m super excited about all the fresh and colorful school and office supplies that are showing up everywhere. #TypeAProblems

This is also the first post featuring pictures from my new camera {ahhh hopefully I’ll remember to share more about this development once I get settled into using it & life isn’t as crazy} so bear with me as I get acclimated.

What Nicole Wore: Elephant Shorts — featured in this post: shein: pom pom off the shoulder top c/o + LOFT: elephant print shorts {on sale, sizes are selling out!} + charming charlie: silver ring set c/o + colourpop: metallic lipstick + anastasia beverly hills: eyebrow kit {great value for this set & the gel keeps your brows in place all day} + vera bradley: palm print phone case {old, similar} + opi: nail polish c/o sally beauty supply

I hadn’t gotten a chance to wear this pave ring set from Charming Charlie until this past weekend and it is safe to say that I’m in love. At only $10, it’s a complete steal too; I love that you can wear the rings separately or altogether depending on what level of accessorizing you’re going for.

As soon as we decided to go with shorts for this month’s blog hop, I knew I wanted to style these elephant ones. I’ve worn them quite a few times since I ordered them, but hadn’t had a chance to style them on the blog yet. They have a 4″ inseam which I love; I’m at the stage of my life where I don’t want to wear booty shorts but also have no desire to wear bermuda shorts so this is a good compromise for me. I paired these whimsical shorts with this lightweight off the shoulder top. The bell sleeves and pom poms are super on trend for summer and like I said, it’s lightweight so wearing it doesn’t make me want to lie my entire body over an air conditioning unit.

Happy, happy Friday! Bringing you a super colorful and affordable look today in front of one of the prettiest walls in all of Louisville. I’ve been wanting to go take pictures here for awhile and kept putting it off but after visiting the gorgeous Wynwood Walls, I knew I had to see the fun murals in my own hometown.

What Nicole Wore: Rainbow Pom Pom Off the Shoulder Top — featured in this post: shein: off the shoulder top {under $15} + dressbarn: skinny jeans {also seen here} + forever 21: fringe wedges {also seen here} + pink howlite ring {also seen here} + stella dot: gold ring {also seen here} + hobby lobby: red bandana {similar} + karen walker: sunglasses c/o DITTO {also seen here} + kate spade: pink clutch {also seen here} + colourpop: matte x lippie stix

I’ve been stocking up on the off the shoulder trend for summer over the past few weeks and loved the throwback bell sleeves and colorful pom poms on this white top. The top is a soft cotton material and honestly makes me feel like I’m snugged up in my jersey sheets. I’m wearing an XS; if you want a longer fit, I’d recommend sizing up. And the best part is, the top is only $14!

I love this matte lipstick from ColourPop; I have a ton of their liquid lipsticks, but this is my first of the Lippie Stix. They’re available in sheer, matte and satin finishes and like most ColourPop products the color payoff is amazing! I’m wearing one coat of this lipstick and only used my lip liner to outline my lips.

So let’s talk Friday Favorites:

I love how chic two piece sets look, but am so terrified of my thighs #typical. The print and tassel detail on this one that Amy styled this week are gorgeous and make me want to go hunt down a set that works for me though!
Y’all – I am crushing on my new leopard clutch so hard. It still hasn’t made its blog debut yet, but it had to be a Friday Favorite because…it’s under $40 + free shipping. Thank you eBay Gods, I am forever indebted to you. {Btw, that’s not an affiliate link, that’s a ‘you need this in your life at this price’ link.}
I just discovered Lindsay’s blog this week {yay more Kentucky bloggers!} and loved reading her thoughts on trusting organic growth on social media, specifically loop giveaways on Instagram. Without getting too far up on my soapbox, it can be incredibly frustrating to see mediocre accounts grow exponentially from indirectly {or directly} purchasing followers. Seeing other bloggers struggle with the same “jealousy” always makes me feel a little bit better about sticking to my guns.
Obsessed with the print of Erin’s carry on bag; blue and white pretty much guarantees that I’ll like just about anything.

Since I was embracing all the trends of my childhood, I decided to go ahead and throw on a bandana too. I was struggling to decide on a necklace to go with this shirt and suddenly thought, ‘but what if I just wore a bandana as a choker?’ Neck scarves are definitely making a comeback and I love the classic look of a red bandana for summertime. {I 100% plan to rock this one at some point during the 4th of July week!}
