Fairy Tale













Sweater--Mom's
Shorts ($2)--Kohl's
Shoes ($6)--China
Necklace ($5)--Forever 21
Headband ($3)--DIY
Leather bag ($3)--thrifted

The weather was abnormally warm last week, so I took advantage of the beautiful day to shoot in short for the first time in a few months. I was so happy to find them at Kohl's for only $2! I just love bargains.
I got my flowery piece a few years ago at Michael’s, but I had no idea what to do with it, so it sat idly on my table. A week ago, I realized that it would make a great trendy headband, so I tied black ribbon to the ends and wore it with my fun sparkly shorts  and comfy pink converse for a dreamy, girl-next-door look.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving!

XOXO,
♥Lily
show some love

Hello there!
I'm Lily, and I'm confused.
As a liberal arts grad/endurance athlete/fashion enthusiast, I find beauty in many spheres. Consequently, I have no idea where life will lead me. Here is where I document my journey to creating myself--soul-baring reflections, embarrassing photos, and all. Feel free to join me for the ride.
