After my boyfriend was done with work, we headed over to Alki to enjoy that weird orange thing in the sky. I hear some of you call it the sun. (long story short, Seattle is having a terrible summer). We went to a delicious Mexican restaurant called Cactus, right on the main strip. I had prawn fajitas with a hibiscus chi-chi (cranberry vodka, pineapple, coconut, and a hibiscus tea float....very tasty). Afterwards, the waiter gave us free flan which was also delicious. After dinner, we took a quick stroll through Alki, which was packed, as expected. Art festival, bands, extreme hacky-sack. No city celebrates sunshine like Seattle. If the sun is out and it's over 60 degrees, the shirts and shoes start coming off like flat screens at a Walmart black Friday sale.
On to the outfit!
Top: American Eagle: Skirt, hair flower, and Earrings: H&M. Bracelet: Charlotte Russe. Sandals: Target.
The top I'm wearing is pretty versatile. I usually wear a top underneath it but I decided to switch it up bit. Inspired by some of my favorite blogs, I decided to tie it up and wear it cropped. I must say, I think I pulled it off quite nicely :). I've worn the skirt a little lower on my waist as well but I think it looks best worn high. It gives the outfit more of a classic shape, which I really like. I also really like the contrast between the army green shirt and the frilly pink and white skirt. Basically I'm loving this combo and I'm thinking I'm going to wearing it a lot more often.
