Maxi Stripes and Green Bikes

banana republic striped maxi dress and green bike
The other day Brianna from City Fashion Girl (who also takes my pictures from time to time– like these^^) went downtown and enjoyed the city life a bit. We sat outside Eva’s Bakery (it’s blue and fabulous!), rode Green Bikes (they are awesome, you can rent one for 24 hours for $5), and drank delicious red Starbuck’s teas. It was a fun girls day, to say the least. 

I wore my recently thrifted (from Uptown Cheapskate— I am there about every week or so buying and selling clothing) Banana Republic striped maxi dress and new favorite Free People lace-up gladiators. Just so you know, those babies are not meant for walking long city distances! The black layer up top? Ya, that is my new favorite “layering bra” from Calvin Klein. It’s the cute kind with the white band and Klein logo along the bottom seam. SO COMFORTABLE and the perfect way to cover up my garments if they keep slipping out the top.

This Levi jacket always gets compliments, and I am happy to say it is up-cycled! It is a jacket from when I was younger and decided to let the outgrown look look more like a 3/4 sleeved jacket. BooYah.
Oh, and you know how everyone has a “go-to” fancy hairstyle? Mines this high ponytail. Ain’t nobody got time to braid!

    I 100% don't mean this in a rude way, but this post is super confusing to me. You mention how you're happy that your CK bra holds down your garments. But almost every post you post on Instagram *clearly* shows you aren't wearing garments. (I don't wear garments at all, LOL. And I haven't in years. And I'm also not garment police!) But that comment about the bra confused the heck out of me..

    It just makes me sad that so many bloggers try to play this persona online and in reality, that's not them at all. It comes off as dishonest and disingenuous. I really don't mean this to come off as rude. (Even if it might be.) You're so cute and LOVE following along. I just felt the need to say something.

      Hi Kalee!

      I actually don't wear my garments anymore. As humans, we are allowed to evolve and change. This post was from two years ago. Hope that clarifies some things for you! I would be happy to discuss it with you anytime!
