Hello again!

I'm back from Coachella, totally exhausted, and ready to catch up on some outfits photos from last week - but don't worry - I'll be starting my Coachella recaps next week!

My biggest dilemma when it comes to graphic tees/sweatshirts? Remixing them to make them feel original each time! I feel like certain graphics, especially this "hello" sweatshirt, are so identifiable and unique that making them feel fresh each time can be a challenge. I think the solution is keeping your patterns fun, mixing your accessories, and finding new ways to wear your piece (like a half-tuck into a belt!).

How do you make your graphic prints feel new?

Hello!

Flashback to Valentine's Day! I love few things more than a sparkly red heart, so I tend tend to enjoy a little theme dressing for V-Day! This Hello Apparel sweatshirt caught my eye awhile ago, and I finally bought it, and then I waited for this special occasion to rock it! Now I'm not sure how I'm going to stop myself from wearing it on the daily!

These pants were another long-ago purchase. I bought them over the summer, but seriously slacked on getting them hemmed. Then I finally bit the bullet and just cut off the extra foot of fabric. Sure, they may unravel, but in the heat of the moment, it seemed like the best idea. ;)

Do you "theme dress" for holidays?
