New Leather Jacket + Polka Dot Tights

By
I got a new jacket! Thanks Mom! She saw it at the store and it was just what I'd been wanting so she got it for me. Now I actually have a jacket that isn't an oversized blazer. Today it was cold enough for a jacket too so it was perfect timing. I'm pretty cool with my leather jacket, right? I think so. In my own head.

I love these polka dot tights so much. I'm glad today was cool enough to wear them, but it's supposed to be back into the 80's by the time my birthday rolls around next Sunday. Anyway, I noticed a run in them on the bottom of my foot and I was sad. I nail polished it though, so it should be okay. No worries.

I've decided to take a couple days off of school work and head home to see George and my family. It'll be good to have a little bit of a break. Plus I somehow left all of my warm pajamas here so I needed to retrieve them. Now I'm cozy and pajama-y and sitting next to George on the couch. Just like I like to spend my life.

P.S. - Jessica from The Jessica Blog won the Anjolee giveaway! Congratulations! Thanks for entering, everyone!

Happy Monday evening!

You managed to roll my love for polka dots and a classic leather jacket into one outfit? Adorable! The pink skirt is a nice touch as well. This is definitely a fun take on autumn!

I think the tights are sooooo perfect.......perfect jacket too ...... I grew up in ballet (I'm a guy) and I always wore big sweaters with tights under. I'm traveling in Europe this fall, and I adore the style of tights with cut off denim shorts, and leather shorts, and cute high waisted shorts. .My friends in Europe know I'm bold and brash and have encouraged me to don cute tights on my legs and wear that look (tights and shorts....I've even begun to wear thin sheer tights as well...
I love your hair by the way... and your smile . You have a great style and you "wear it well"

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.
