New Colorful Blouse, Linen Shorts, & Patent Leather

By
Hello and happy August! Seriously, how is it August? I'm already mourning the summer and my epic laziness.

I bought this shirt on clearance at Target the other day for $10. I've been wanting more blouses, so this definitely was a great find. The colors are so pretty and I love a good bow collar. All the bright colors brightened up the cloudy day. I paired my fantastic high-waisted linen shorts with my new blouse. These shorts were seriously one of my best thrift finds ever.

top: merona - target | shorts - ralph lauren - goodwill | shoes: mossimo - target | belt: thrifted | headband: forever 21 | ring: great grandma collection




It was disgustingly muggy outside when I took these pictures. Like, one of those days when it feels like you stepped into a sauna. Then the clouds decided to get all weird and throw off my white balance. Sad times. But the colorful shirt, patent leather, and sparkly headband were worth photographing! 

Happy Wednesday!

I love those shorts! They look very comfortable and versatile and that top is too cute! I am a sucker for bow collars as well.

That head band is very adorable! I also recently thrifted some amazing high-waisted shorts; they were J-Crew and less than $2! Can't beat it. I'm liking these Ralph Lauren ones as well.

And I feel your pain on the miserable, muggy days. Indiana has been the same for WEEKS! Ugh. But despite how hot it was, you look pretty as a peach ;)

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.
