New Kyodan Mini Skort

Howdy!! This past week I made a trip to TJMaxx for a few things. I needed a reup on serum, beaucoup Bluey gifts for our almost birthday girl niece, and kept my fingers crossed to find a new skirt. The TJs gods smiled upon me because I got everything I wanted in spades! For my birthday, Johnny gifted me with tickets to see The Struts at the House Of Blues (Peep a post about the show and my OOTD soon!). I knew which top and shoes that I wanted to wear but I thought a sassy little mini skirt would take the OOTD OTT (Over The Top lol). It took a while to find what I was looking for but success was oh so sweet when I did:

^^^ Originally forty-eight bucks and I got it for thirteen! SCORE!

When I am shopping for clothing at TJMaxx, I typically follow a specific method: Make one round in the women’s and junior’s department, try clothes on, then make a second round for anything I might have missed or different sizes. During my initial trip around the store, I found several options for mini skirts that could have worked and had no such luck with any of them. After a lackluster fitting room session, I made my way back to hunt for more skirts and was coming up empty. Then, inspiration struck right in the knick of time.

As I went through my mental Rolodex of skirts in my wardrobe, I recalled that one of my favorites wasn’t found in my usual departments at TJs. It was actually a tennis skirt that I found in the athletic section. It was just the brain blast I needed and just as soon as I began browsing the athleisure, I discovered exactly what I had in mind. A bright white school girl style skort by Kyodan. It also happens to be the same brand of my fave tennis skirt!

I knew that the white skort was going to work and trying it on only confirmed it. It was the perfect neutral to pair with the crazy platforms I was going to wear and provided the best movement to dance the night away. This skort was also nice and light and I freaking loved the fact that it was a skort. I was definitely trying to let loose for the concert but I wasn’t trying to let everyone see my underoos all night lol. For thirteen bucks, this skort elevated my OOTD and I can’t wait for all of you to see it. 🙂

An amazing concert deserved an amazing outfit and I felt as much like a star as one of my favorite bands on the stage. Thank you, TJMaxx! ❤

Misny Merch OOTD

Misny Merch OOTD

Hello!! When Johnny and I visited Misnyland, we were each treated to a new T-shirt or long sleeved shirt from the Misny Merch collection. Johnny got himself the same shirt that my dad purchased for me for my birthday and what I wore in my Misny To The Max OOTD that made me a contest winner. I opted for a black long sleeved shirt with Tim’s signature catchphrase “Make Them Pay” going down the side of the sleeves. This was great because I actually wanted to buy that shirt, but I placed my order in late May and wanted a T-shirt for summertime. With some brand new Misny swag to rock, I had to style a new OOTD and came up with an athleisure ensemble that I wore to lunch at veg+ (Check out yesterday’s post for a review!).

Remember that proceeds from every order of Misny Merch benefits the Cleveland City Mission! Now, let’s get to it:

Who? What? Wear?

Long sleeved shirt: Misny Merch

Leggings: Express

Balaclava: Steve Madden, TJMaxx

Tie dye tennis shoes: Nike, PacSun

The bumblebee earrings are from Target!

As you all know, athleisure OOTDs aren’t really my thing, even more so since I haven’t ice skated in forever. As odd as it is, this outfit was me stepping outside of my comfort zone! This was a strategic outfit, though, because I knew that I would be with my nieces when I wore it and would be able to chase after the too cute toddlers comfortably. I also chose to go the athleisure route because the Misny Merch shirt is huge on me so wearing it in a more sporty ensemble made sense.

The base of this outfit was so simple to establish. I already had my new shirt in mind and you can’t have an athleisure look without a great pair of leggings. My sister turned me on to the leggings from Express and they are simply the best. I wore them constantly when I skated, I love to lounge in them, and they fit like a glove. I rarely wear leggings in public because I am a die hard black skinny jeans fan and I felt like I was in my pajamas in the best way ever lol. And, trust me when I say that I simply shined when Val insisted on reenacting the “stampede” scene from the Lion King?? So weird haha but I could have ran for days! 😀

With the base of the outfit settled, it was time for shoes and accessories. I went with my purple tie dye pair of Stefan Janoski Nikes and it felt most strange not sporting a killer pair of heels. Then again, it wouldn’t be a sportswear outfit with my go to platforms on! Despite the pop of purple, the outfit was still looking rather plain so I enlisted the help of my new Steve Madden balaclava from TJMaxx. I wore it like a cowl and it was incredibly toasty and added the visual interest that was missing. Finally, I chose a pair of bold, bumblebee studs for an extra dose of cuteness and was ready to take on the day the Tim Misny way!

Lil Red goes athleisure in my Misny Merch OOTD and it was a fun and oh so comfy change of pace. Thanks for the shirt, Tim. You’re the best! ❤
