I'm Ridiculous

By
These pants are ridiculous, but I had to. They actually came with suspenders, but I took them off for this outfit. They're not the most flattering things and I really don't know how to style them, but I tried.


pants: thrifted
top: thrifted
cardigan: so...; kohls
shoes: xhileration; target

But really, how does one make these flattering? I'll do a with-suspenders outfit sometime in the near future.


This is my butt shot.
Pretty sexy, right?


Power stance!

Oh dear. Well. Now we all know I have little shame. I walked around in these on campus, but didn't notice any strange looks. Didn't notice is the main idea here. I'm sure people were like, "Whaaaat? That girl cuuuraaayzeeee!"

In other news, according to my school a flannel shirt and jeans is deemed "fancy" now. Who knew? I had a blazer on too, so maybe that's what was so fancy about my outfit. I dared walk into the cool weather sans sweatshirt! I will never understand the so-called "style" of the UGA undergrads.

Happy Friday!

First off, I think the pants are amazing. Second, I would much rather be the girl everyone thinks is crazy for wearing crazy pants than some boring dime-a-dozen sweatshirt college girl.

I think these pants are pretty awesome, and looks great with the polka dot top! It boggles my mind the way some people dress at school, sweatpants suck

Those pants look wonderful on you! I really mean it. I think I would wear it with a black lace top and some cognac coloured wedges. This combination is wonderful too!

Well I know why everyone was staring at you... because they were jealous! You wear these pants with such a beautiful confidence that I admire... I think you look absolutely great! <3

...and I know this might sound odd but your makeup looks exceptionally pretty, as well! xx

bahaha It's so refreshing to see a style blogger who doesn't take fashion so darn seriously! Personally, I think you look amazing in those pants. Highwaisted trousers always elude me on my thrifting trips, so I'm super impressed when I see a gal rocking a pair that really fits her.

I kind of love those pants. I think highwaisted pants are super flattering. I like the outfit as a whole. Don't second guess yourself! :)

haha sometimes you just have to go with a piece, and yeah they are unflattering to people used to skinny low rise jeans but they are awesome so screw that!

Hooray for being brave enough to sport the challenging pants! I think you styled them just right. You could wear something super bright on top next time so as to distract people from the pants if you feel weird.
(stylist's trick: distraction!) :)
I just realized I haven't followed you on google yet. Silly me!

I love this post! Yeah, pants like those are bad unless you're seven feet tall and a negative size, BUT I still kind of dig it. You're awesome.

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.
