What I Wore - 7/20

For today's outfit, I needed something super comfy for my 100 mile drive home. However, I still wanted to try to look cute and classy because...I like doing that. SO I opted for an easy black and white outfit! 

I love this graphic tank because it's chic and comfy (a combination I will be obsessed with until the end of time). And I'm OBSESSED with these new joggers that I got from Forever 21 recently! These pants were a style that I had never tried before, so I was a bit apprehensive at first, but now I love them! Also, the fact that this outfit is so simple and timeless with the black and white makes it so easy to wear!  With my go-to black sandals and my Warby Parker specs, I'm ready for my comfy drive home!

Also, pardon my horribly messy room and bare walls. I'm in the process of moving out of my apartment, which is not my favorite thing.

Till next time, lovelies!

Products I Swear By: Seche Vite Top Coat

If you're anything like me, you paint your nails often. I get really bothered by any chips in my nail polish, and I love seeing different colors when I look down at my hands and toes, so I've been known to paint my nails multiple times a week. Because of this, I need a top coat that will do an amazing job. I recently discovered Seche Vite at my local CVS and, because I've heard about it from multiple beauty bloggers and vloggers, I immediately picked it up!

Here's why I love it!

• It dries so quickly! I've never had a top coat that dries faster. And it's not the type of "dry" where your nails aren't dripping but they're still all slodgy and goopy. After about a minute, they're dry as can be. I love this because I use my hands all the time, so I don't have a ton of time to sit around waiting for my nails to dry. With this top coat, I don't have to!
• The price for the quantity! I can't understand why some nail polishes are so expensive. God knows I love me some Essie nail polish, but that stuff is $8 or $9 a bottle. Seche Vite is $7.59 a bottle (at CVS) for half an ounce of polish, where Essie only has .46 fl oz. And because you use this polish after every mani and pedi, the value for the money is really great!
• Your nails won't chip! Well, at least not for a while. With this top coat, I've had my polishes on for almost a week before they chipped. 

All in all, I love this top coat because it takes at least part of the annoyance out of painting my nails. You don't have to sit around for ages waiting for it to dry and you don't have to worry about your nails getting ruined too soon after you've painted them. I love it! It can be found at your local drug stores so go pick it up and see for yourself! 

Till next time, lovelies!

What I Wore! 7/17

My personal style involves quite a lot of "less is more". I just love it; it allows you to glam up your outfit in more subtle and fun ways! Usually this means a fun statement necklace or a bright lip, but today my patterned shorts brought the brightness! I absolutely adore florals; the prints, the smells, and just having flowers around my apartment. Paired with a light, drapey tee in my favorite color (grey) and some nude flats, this makes a simple yet put-together and summery outfit fit for any day :)

New Collab Video with Rachel from Budgeted Chic!

Earlier this week, I went to Ulta for the very first time with my girl Rachel, who runs a fine, fresh, fierce blog called Budgeted Chic (click the link here or in the sidebar to go check it out!). We went on a real spree. Afterwards, we filmed a video for her YouTube channel! I thought I'd post the video up on Quest for Class for your visual pleasure! Enjoy :)
