I'm a couple days behind on pictures for whatever reason, so these are from Sunday. We went to a graduation party and the house was filled with awesome antiques, old pictures, and nick nacks. I had to snap a picture of the cool old singer sewing machine and mantel clock.


I'm determined to have a mantel clock someday. Seriously. I love those things.

shoes: bongo; kmart
skirt: thrifted
t-shirt: forever 21
sunglasses: 5 below
necklace: vintage; great grandma collection
bow: very old


shoes: target
skirt: forever 21
t-shirt: forever 21
necklace: forever 21
sunglasses: forever 21

Jeanie and I were once again asked if we're twins at the party. Nope, we're 3 years apart. Maybe we should just start replying that we.


I'm staring at you from behind my navy-with-yellow-bows sunglasses.
I still haven't made up my mind about my jeans order. Thanks for all the helpful comments about what I should do. On one hand I want high-waisted because they'd be made for me and fit perfect. Those are difficult to find because I don't have a huge difference in waist-to-hip ratio. Then again, I like mid-rise because they're classic and will always be good to have. Also, I'm so short waisted that mid-rise would probably be quite high on me anyway. Woe is me. What am I ever to do?!

Love the mix of mustard and ketchup colours! I seriously think these colours look sooo good together. I have issues with jeans allll the time, such a difficult piece to find the perfect fit

jeans are so tough to get perfect. I agonize over every denim purchase - probably a lot more than i should. I am so in love with that necklace though - it's so unique!

I absolutely love that skirt, what a great thrifted find! the color is so original & love the bottons down the front. love that you paired it with a red stripped shirt too!
Glad you snapped a few shots of that house, that old sewing machine is adorable! I always prefer high waisted things & think they're the most flattering but i guess it truly depends & pants could be a bit different.

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
