Tons-o-Buttons

By
This is one of the last sets of pictures with my trusty brick wall at my apartment since I'm home for the summer. I know you're so sad you won't have to see it for a couple months. It's really a tragedy.

Luckily we have a much nicer-looking yard at my house than at my apartment. And by "yard" at my apartment I mean the brick wall and sidewalk leading to the parking lot. It's bursting with natural beauty.

cardigan, skirt: forever 21
top: kohls
shoes: shoe carnival
earrings: vintage - great grandma collection


I realize now that there are a lot of buttons going on in this outfit. Really, I threw this on for a final I took and then took some of my clothes back to my house over the weekend. It was such an intense day as you can imagine. (This post is dripping with sarcasm and for that, I am sorry.)

I also tried a bouffant pony tail thing on this day. It was super easy and really made a pony tail look a bit more special. 


I'm trying to think of some new types of posts to work on this summer since I have plenty of free time. Is there anything you guys would like to see? Or if you have any suggestions or ideas that would be fantastic! 

Now I'm going to embark on an epic lazy day full of watching various things on TV and laying on the couch with George the bulldog. Summer is great.

I somehow always manage to pair my button up front tops with my button up front skirts. I love it though! This blouse is beautiful!

Your hair looks amazing! Whenever I try and rock the pony tail with the poofy hair, I always feel like I have a rat tail and pin it up. But you rock it. Your skirt is so pretty. I love all the buttons. It looks wonderful.

Ahhh so jealous of your bouffant-able hair! My curly/frizzy hair is impossible to manage into such a smooth style. But your outfit is so sweet, kudos for dressing cutely for a final!

You're too cute. I noticed your outfit has many varying sizes of buttons :) Love the polka dots, but then again I'm partial to them as I wear them at least once a week.

I'm not sure if its the bouffant or the color combinations, but this has a very fun fifties look.

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.
