Boyfriend Approved

By
It's always good to get a compliment from my boyfriend instead of the what-are-you-wearing-? look. 

skirt: forever 21
sweater: forever 21
tights: betsy johnson; ross dress for less
shoes: xhileration; target
bow: forever 21


It's been rainy here the past couple days hence the awful lighting in these pictures.

This sweater is from my senior year of high school. I'm now in my senior year of college. I have very few items I wear now that I wore back then, but this red sweater is pretty classic. I plan on styling it in other ways while it's cool here. It actually cooled down for a couple days here due to the rain.

I wasn't expecting this outfit to be such a hit with my boyfriend. I wear whatever I like, knowing he is going to think some things are strange. I never know when to expect a compliment on what I wear, but it's always nice when I get one.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Haha it's so nice when they do approve of a look. I am always shocked when mine likes something I think he'll hate. I LOVE this skirt, it's so awesome

That skirt is extremely cute and looks great on you! This whole outfit is pretty awesome. Jasen always likes when I wear patterned tights...maybe that's part of the boyfriend appeal!

I'm in love with your skirt! This whole outfit is amazing, I love the mix in prints with the skirt and the tights. I still have clothes from my high school days, too :)

My husband thinks I wear weird things too. He hates anything menswear inspired.

This outfit is cute. I have similar tights and have been wanting to break them out this year. I like the way you've mixed them here.

Well, you look gorgeous, it's no wonder he complimented you! But then you always look gorgeous. Red is a great color on you!

I feel the same way! I love that skirt and that red top! Oh, and I adore your tights! The pattern is so cute! I feel the same way about the boyfriend giving me a compliment instead of asking me what I'm wearing, haha!

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.
