I must admit, I get so caught up with being on the go that I&#8217;ve fallen back hard onto <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itsmeerikat\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> for sharing my daily looks and loves. A few months ago, I was browsing sales (Memorial Day maybe?) and came across this  I had wanted for months on a super markdown. Basically, I had to have it! It made a natural fit into my wardrobe and can easily be worn with dressier pants, like these by , but I&#8217;ve also dressed them down with faux leather shorts. I also think it would look gorgeous with a pair of tight white jeans, but I don&#8217;t have any at the moment so that theory will have to wait.<\/p>\n<p>Last night I decided to paint my nails one of my all-time favorite colors, ! Once I realized how coordinated I was from head to toe, I just had to get a close up. I am definitely overdue for a trip to the nail salon, but when I do paint my own nails I like to use a Sally Hansen Tough as Nails primer, then top with Sally Hansen Insta-Dry clear top coat. They not only help my polish dry quicker, but they keep my nails strong and less prone to breakage. I highly recommend that you add these 2 items to your nail arsenal! <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3163.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4859\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3159.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3159\" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3159.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3159-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3159-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3163.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4851\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3163.jpg\" alt=\"erika thomas \" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3163.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3163-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3163-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3180.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4860\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3180.jpg\" alt=\"erika thomas\" width=\"489\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3180.jpg 489w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3180-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3180-427x600.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3179.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4856\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3179.jpg\" alt=\"stylestalker metamorphosis\" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3179.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3179-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3179-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3183.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4853\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3183.jpg\" alt=\"essie bikini so teeny \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3183.jpg 800w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3183-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3183-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3189.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4854\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3189.jpg\" alt=\"erika thomas miami \" width=\"571\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3189.jpg 571w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3189-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3189-428x600.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3166.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4855\" src=\"http:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3166.jpg\" alt=\"stylestalker miami \" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3166.jpg 800w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3166-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikathomas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMG_3166-600x428.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>Bag: TOUS, heels: ZARA, sunglasses: Gucci.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wowwwieeeee it has been a LONG time since I&#8217;ve shared my outfit on the blog.
