white tee + flared jeans.

easy like sunday morning...

and these were taken on sunday morning. this precise ensemble is my absolute favorite go-to outfit. here in hawaii, i can always count on a cute tee + flared jeans + fun accessories to keep me presentable but not overdone. i'm wearing a fabulous tee and necklace from my friends over at sisters marie with an oldie-but-goodie pair of jeans. and i had to throw in some leopard with this cute clutch from love & sunshine.

this long weekend was filled with just about everything...running, hiking, cleaning, eating. a few pics from yesterday's hike below.

what outfit do you feel most confident in?

anything exciting happen this weekend?

lush sunlit greens.

bamboo.

manoa falls hike. it's uphill most of the way, but overall an easy and kid-friendly hike that's a little under 2 miles. go early or else you won't have a chance to ~~take selfies~~ photograph the falls without people in the background.

post-hike grinds from liliha bakery. known for their fluorescent red jelly...who knows what it is, but it's yummy on their toasted butter rolls.

a week of work wardrobe basics: dark denim.

another must-have in your work wardrobe is a pair of dark denim jeans. it's acceptable in most offices and looks polished and professional compared to lighter washes. invest in a good pair, and you will always have something to wear. this has been the go-to item in my closet because of its versatility. i'm wearing it here with a crisp, white shirt (also on my list) for a simple and classic outfit. a bold necklace and fun bag keep it from looking too much like a uniform.

two things to consider:

fit and style: a trouser style or boot cut works well. it should be fitted through the leg with a flare that allows the jean to fall nicely over your shoes without bunching. a skinny jean works, too, as long as it isn't too tight at the ankles. opt for one with a mid to high rise waist, and it should be fitted, not tight.

design: none! plain, non-descript, dark denim is best. the more embellishments it has, the less versatile (and office appropriate) it becomes.

i've had this pair for the life of this blog! here's the proof in one of my first posts! it's finally starting to fade...time to start looking for a replacement.

house of fab.

i always welcome new pieces to my armstack.

a while back, i parted with a lionhead ring because it was too big. i hated to give it up, but this bracelet from justfab makes up for its loss...and it makes a nice addition to

my silver stacks.

lime orange.

these are probably the two brightest pieces in my closet, paired together for a blinding combination. i thought it was the perfect backdrop for an equally bright, white leather + bead necklace that i picked out using an INpink credit i received.

recently, i've been loving a much simpler arm stack...2-3 pieces at most. check out lovely obsessions for some oomph-worthy pieces. enter code: rockoomph for 10% off.

and finally, mini-she and i spent some quality time over lunch at cpk this weekend. we shared salad and pasta before indulging in pumpkin cheesecake.
