Just Being Classy on a Thursday

By
Happy Labor Day weekend! I'm sure glad to have a few days off. Things have been busy even though I've just been doing normal class stuff. I don't even want to think about when I have to do presentations and tests and crap, so I won't. I'm excited to do some things that aren't school for the next couple days.

I wore this to dinner with some old friends yesterday. I was fancier than intended, but I wanted to wear this dress! I got it at Target on clearance for $12. I figured it'll be good for job-related things down the line. It also has fun fluttery sleeves.

dress: merona - target  | belt: ralph lauren - thrifted | shoes: forever 21 | pin: great grandma collection






Of course, before we went downtown after dinner (and after I came back to my place and finished my essay) I changed into my downtown-party-time clothes because this is a little too classy for going drinking in downtown Athens. 

I was supposed to go out tonight too, but I think I should recover before game day tomorrow. Hooray football time! And hooray Labor Day weekend!

You look lovely, girl! I'm so jealous that you get off for Labor Day; the downside of a liberal arts college, oh well! Have a great long weekend, hon!

xoxo,
Laura

Hope you had a good time going out (or if you are not yet going out, I hope you have a good time out when you do go). Good job on getting that on discount at Target! I love the colors.

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.
