A Thrown Together Favorite

By
Is it just me or are some of your favorite outfits ones you just throw together in the morning? I had no idea what to wear this day other than that I wanted to wear my plaid shirt. I was wearing just the shirt until the very last minute when I knew I really needed a butt covering if I was to go out in public. Somehow it all came together and this is definitely one of my favorites lately.

sweater, shirt: target
shorts: forever 21
shoes: old navy
hat: h&m
belt: old from Mom
coat: delia*s








 I wish I had worn something as awesome as this today, but I wasn't feeling anything other than jeans. My jeans were soaked through three classes in a row. It's been raining for days and I'm really ready for it to stop. Rainy Mondays are one of the worst things. Especially during winter.

I'm going to drink some coffee and thaw out!

Happy Monday!

I adore this! Such a great layered up look, the sweater with the hat is so cute - especially with the subtle print mixing too! xx

I LOVE this! So very chic! You're inspiring me to wear shorts and tights more often :) And yes, I've definitely had some favorite outfits come from last-minute scrambling...and I've had some planned outfits go awry! It's a dilemma, for sure...I love feeling prepared, but there's something fun about that rush :)

That happens to me too! Usually when I have no idea what to wear but I need to get dressed quickly, a better outfit happens than when I have time to think it out haha

I absolutely love outfits like that! Those are definitely the best kind. Effortless. This outfit makes me wish I had amazing/flattering shorts, an awesome beret, and a great plaid shirt! :( Le sigh. You look amazing and I love the colors!

This is super cute! Sometimes, yeah, the outfits I think least about turn out the best. I need a sweater in this color you're wearing!

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.
