We just got back from Hawaii and I’m having serious post-vaca depression.
EMBELLISHED TEE & POLKA DOTS
Chambray off the shoulder with bandana
The obsession with bandanas and off the shoulder tops continues.

Choo choo! All aboard the travel train! Whether you’re taking a trip across the world or just staying put, you should definitely inject these ‘world traveler’ pieces into your wardrobe. Saturated colors, flouncy tops, breezy dresses, tassels and embellishments will cater to your wanderlust – even if the biggest vacation you take is just going out to brunch with the girls.

Bandana neck tie
Looking to try out the bandana neck tie trend? Here’s a simple way to do it. The equation: white top + jeans + heels. It’s an incredibly easy way to make your outfit feel fresh. It also adds a pop of color to an otherwise neutral look. Also, if you haven’t tried out Etienne Marcel jeans I highly recommend them! They fit like a glove and are also incredibly comfortable.
Top: Forever 21 // Jeans: Etienne Marcel (similar here) // Bandana: Thrifted (also ordered this one from Topshop // Shoes: Mossimo via Target // Purse: h&m (old) // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Lipstick: Whirl (lip-liner also in the color Whirl)
What do you think of the bandana neck tie trend? Will you try it out? How are you wearing yours? Leave a comment below! I’d love to hear from you! And as always, thanks for checking out The Nomis Niche!

Off the shoulder and Lace-up sandals
By now you’ve probably noticed that the off the shoulder trend is huge right now. The style is popping up on dresses and tops everywhere, giving us an alternative neckline for spring and summer. I kept the accessories on the bohemian side for that care-free look. My only downside with these sandals is that they fall down… a lot! So I linked up two other versions that will give you the same look, but should actually stay up.
Top: Forever 21 (similar style here) // Shorts: Free People // Sandals: Charlotte Russe (sold out, but leather version here and similar here // Clutch: Thrifted, but I also love here, here and here // Necklace: Stella and Dot Thanks for stopping by The Nomis Niche! How are you styling your off the shoulder picks? How do you like this outfit? Let me know in the comments below! Also, follow me on Instagram for more style inspiration.

Stripes and Leather
Happy Friday everyone! Here’s a work get-up that’s comfortable and casual, but still dressy enough to wear to your office (especially on a Friday!) Considering I have a massive amount of t-shirts, I like to find new ways to work them into my outfits. A leather pencil skirt adds a little edge and dresses it up a bit. I hope you all had a great week, and Happy Easter!
Striped Tee: Forever 21 // leather Skirt: Old, but similar found here // Necklace: h&m (old, but like their new updated version as well) // Heels: Penny Loves Kenny // Rings: Gifted and Topshop // Clutch: Francesca’s

Two swimsuit trends you should definitely try
Costa Rica: Parte Dos
Parte dos of our Costa Rica voyage. Again, I can’t tell you what an amazing time we had.We stayed at the Riu Guanacaste Hotel and really took advantage of all that they had to offer. The staff hosted games up by the pool, a nice quiet beach, nightly shows, etc. They actually did a “Las Vegas” themed show one night. That was pretty hysterical seeing their interpretation of what our entertainment is like. A lot of Ricky Martin? We shook our bon bons anyway.
After a few chill days we decided to get adventurous. We went snorkeling and saw tropical fish and 12 sting rays! The rain forest excursion was probably my favorite part. The butterfly garden was beautiful, but despite my best efforts no butterfly landed on my finger. Like… we traveled all this way and you bugs can’t even give me my Snow White moment?! You think you’re all that cuz you can fly? You were a creepy crawly caterpillar like a month ago chump.
We spotted some hummingbirds too, but those suckers are too quick and apparently extremely camera shy. And… oh my gosh… ziplining through the canopy! Ahh! Flying by trees close enough that you could touch was an experience. I’ll never forget. I think even if I clonked my head on one of them I would still be grinning from ear to ear.
I also tried out their beauty secret. You sit in their natural sauna for about 10 minutes then rub the volcanic mud all over your body. Once it dries you wash it off and then sit in the natural hot springs for another 20 minutes. It’s probably a load of crock, but that didn’t stop me from slathering that hot mud all over myself. One Canadian woman said I looked like a swamp monster. So yeah… that was a huge ego boost. (I’m not being sarcastic. #SwampGoals)
But the best part of this excursion was the waterfalls!!! I’ve been saying forever that all I wanted to really do on this trip was hop into a waterfall. Did it. Loved it. Want to do it again immediately.
I know this is a lengthy post, but I just want to share everything with you all! I’ve also got another outfit post coming tomorrow morning. So be sure to check that out too! As always, thanks for checking out The Nomis Niche and reading through my ramblings. If you’re going to Costa Rica anytime soon let me know! Maybe I could help you out with some pointers.
Love,
Lindsey
