Summer Obsessions

Something about the summer heat brings out the obsession in us. When Skyla was young she LOVED the California teen super-drama The OC so much that she tried to imitate Mischa Barton's character however she could. It was an obsession. Even today, as we write this post, she's rambling off obscure references that even I, another OC fan, would never guess in a million years. Hey, I get it. Seth Cohen is the perfect man.

Our current summer obsession is the crop top/skirt combo, as you might have guessed, so it's no surprise that grown-up Skyla's Marissa Cooper roots came out and paired this edgy cropped tee with a girly (faux) leather skater skirt and gladiators. It's an outfit that evokes memories of long will-they-or-won't-they romances, rich girl drug addictions, and orphan inferiority complexes.

Seriously though, can we marry Seth Cohen?

    Loving the edge of this look. So comfy for summer. And I just want to hug and squeeze those puppies! I wish I could have them all.

    Loving this shoot on the railroad, very cute.
    I'm trying to embrace the crop top, but for some reason I get all paranoid when I try to wear one. I need to embrace it!
    Great post and gorgeous dogs

    I don't exactly trust people that don't love the OC. But Marissa was kind of the worst.

    Also I love this spot in Kent! Used it a few times myself.

    I am loving this style! I was a huge OC fan too, not quite as big as my brother though haha. Somehow, Santa delivered the newest season every year (which I am not complaining about). I secretly hoped for Christm-akka every year!
