Sweater & Leather Jacket Time!

By
It got cold in Georgia today! All this hurricane business means we're actually getting some cool fall weather. That means I got to pull out my bag of sweaters and long sleeved shirts and all that cold-weather goodness. I just bought this mint colored sweater from Forever 21 last week and I figured I'd pair the light green color with my dark green polka dot Romwe dress. With the jacket I was warm enough to survive the cold trek to class.

It's going to be a unique week. And by unique I mean I'll be sitting in my apartment calling people to survey them and working on a paper. Isn't my life exciting? I bet you wish you were doing exactly what I'm doing. Oh wait, you mean it sounds incredibly boring? Yes. You would be correct. Boring and stressful all at the same time.

In other news, last week at home was nice. It would have been nicer if I wasn't worrying about surveying people. Also, how about that win for the Dawgs? Hooray! Such a great game. 

Happy Monday evening!

Oh, I love this combination! The mint and dark forest green compliment each other so well. I never would have thought about this as an option at first, but I love it! And the layering is perfect for that cooler weather you guys are getting! Hope that the weather doesn't get too crazy for you!

I love your leather jacket paired with that bright green. so cute!! I also adore your little hair clip- I've been searching for some that I could wear without me constantly tugging at it throughout the day ;)

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

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.
