Trends I'm not sure I can pull off...

As much as I'd like to be able to pull off everything I want to, sometimes the confidence just isn't there. However, I'm a firm believer that confidence is every girl's best accessory and I guess it's time I start taking my own advice. 

I've recently branched out of my comfort zone a little bit and tried some new fashion trends I was never sure I could pull off. 

Fedora hats.
Maxi dresses. 
Wedge sandals. 



Fedora hats: I think it takes a certain person to pull this look off and for the longest time, I wasn't sure it was me! However after buying this one at Target, I've become obsessed. I can't wait to wear it when I'm having bad hair days and would rather be outside enjoying the weather than inside styling my hair. Perfect with hair up or down, and shorts and a tee or a dress! 

Maxi dresses: Ok, so I'm 5'2'' but feel like 4'9''. Everyone wearing maxi dresses is always taller (and skinnier) than me and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to pull off this look. However, I gave one a chance the other day and let's just say I'm not completely sold. If you personally know of a good maxi dress, please let me know so I can try again!

Wedge sandals: I always felt like I'd look silly wearing these; that they would look totally clunky and remind me of platforms from the 70's. I saw a pair at Target the other day and for a clearance price of $8.98, I decided it was now or never. I'm still a pump girl at heart but I'll snuggle up with wedges for a little bit and see if they grow on me. 

I was recently introduced to Uniprice and have been browsing their selection to get some more inspiration on how to branch out!

What are some fashion trends you've been afraid to try?!

Something About Chevron & Pink Rust Boutique {Review & Giveaway}

So amidst this whole Chevron craze, I haven't purchased a single item with the adorable little pattern on it. I know, I've been living under a rock, right? 



I was recently introduced to Pink Rust Boutique and fell in love with their Something About Chevron dress. 


It's asymmetrical, also stepping out of my comfort zone, and such a great dress for the summer months quickly approaching. I love that it's super thin and airy BUT it's not see through; it has a built in layer to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions ;) 


The entire boutique is absolutely adorable, super affordable, and not to mention their customer service is amazing! 

Want to shop for yourself? Enter code HOOAH10 for 10% off your entire order!
AND last but not least...
