Hellooo! For my first blog I thought I would share some new pieces that I've recently purchased that are great for summer! As we all know pastels are HUGE right now and I personally cannot get enough of them! I've included pictures of 2 outfits that I would normally pair together :) (with some inspiration from beauty crush) Although, after I got the outfits together I realized they weren't very wallet friendly :( Sooooooo I also included links to similar items so that it'll be easier to re-create these looks! Hopefully this helped you get some ideas on what to buy if you haven't done much summer shopping or at least helped you think of things you could put together that you already own <3 Olive

The first outfit I really based everything off of the skirt. Other than completely loving mint green, I love really girly outfits. Soooo I decided to pair the skirt with a white tank and a lace top over it, an oatmeal-ish neutral colored long sleeve cardigan and a statement piece necklace.

Other than mint green, I've been obsessed with light wash denim!! When I saw these high-waisted pants (whew and they are really high!) I fell in love. They are super stretchy but also very form fitting! Also while I was at American Apparel I picked up this sheer cami and navy blue bandeau to go under! There is a cute little bronzy gold button so I paired it with an "Aztec inspired" collar necklace and gold bangles!
