I have been wanting to make a post like this for awhile now. I had recently read an article in Nylon Magazine with girls of all different shapes and sizes with their Calvin Klein underwear. I felt so empowered to create a post about something I have always struggle with; body image. I was never considered a skinny girl, and sometimes I would wear oversize clothes to cover myself. I can recall in my dance classes seeing all these slim slender girls, and I would be one of the two girls that would be considered "overweight". Last year, I was at my lowest where at my small frame I had gain massive weight which brought depression and my self esteem down. This year as time passes I have learned to embrace who I am, appreciate my curves (thanks mom!), and to keep working to improve me for me. Love yourself, because once you appreciate you for you, everything else will align in a positive. xoxo, Abstractsmile

Sports Bra and Underwear: Calvin Klein

I wanted to show you an effortless everyday look for when I head out to meetings, gatherings, or even rush out to school. Let's rework our white shirt, our new favorite item for the complete street chic look. A white shirt can bring such sophistication to your everyday look. I found this particular white shirt at my local thrift store, and it has become one of my staple pieces to wear. Throw on your favorite pair of jeans, grab some comfortable midi heels, even add a pop of color as your lipstick (of course mine is my red lipstick), and head out and strut your look! xoxo, Abstractsmile

 My favorite time of year is approaching us, and the plaid back! I love trying new places to shoot, and we were very fortunate to find cool alley ways and the cutest cafe in Summit, NJ. School is starting for most of us, and what better way then to dress up in plaid. I found the dress at Target after a long fun day at the beach; it was love at first sight. I paired them with my new fave boots, definitely bringing a 90's grunge look to the outfit. I hope you enjoy to what I call my Gwen Stefani grunge look. xoxo, Abstractsmile

Hey guys! I wanted to do a post with my favorite colors to wear, mustard and olive green. I found this lovely body-con dress at Mandee's. I usually don't shop there, but I needed a dress for a concert I attended a couple days ago. I was able to work once again with Cappa (IG: cappademics) to showcase the dress with one of my to go staple pieces; loose blazers. For accessories, I chose a  brown hat and my best friend's awesome vintage necklace (thanks for lending me your jewelry!). I would call this outfit a transition from summer to autumn. Hope you enjoy this post. xoxo, Abstractsmile
