Two Years Ago: Pink + Black October Outfit

By
This will be a quick post today since I have two papers and a presentation due on Friday and I'm freaking out yet I still can't start the crap. Woe is the life of a grad student.

Since I've been sitting in my lounging clothes for the past two days, I don't have a new outfit to show you. However I have a new-to-the-blog outfit from two years ago! You'll notice I have no bangs, my hair is shorter, and I may even look ever so slightly younger. Probably not though. Anyway, I really liked this outfit back when I wore it and I still like it so that must mean it's good.

skirt: thrifted | top, flower hair clip: forever 21 | cardigan: so... - kohls | shoes: delia's | socks: american apparel 



This is the outfit I was wearing when I got my speeding ticket. I remember because I was angry that I'd dressed nicely that day because that jerk cop probably thought I was classy and made of money or something. Which is the opposite of the truth. Most of this outfit was super super cheap. The knee socks are the most expensive thing!

Anyway, Happy Wednesday. I'm off to research stuff and hopefully write one of the papers today. Ughhhhhh. That's how I feel about life right now. Bye!

Hahaha! I love that you remembered that this is what you were wearing when you got a speeding ticket. I would probably remember too, I mean that skirt is fabulous!

haha aw this is such a cute outfit to be ruined by such a crappy day! Thankfully, I've never had the honor of having a ticket (I'd probably have a mental breakdown/heart attack/seizure by the time the cop came to my window, lol!!)

Well weirdly enough, I have a dress made of your blouse fabric, but not even from the same store? Coincidences. And those shoes are just too darling, love how kitschy and fun they make your outfit!

Those shoes are ADORABLE! Oh my! So cute. So is the skirt. I never wear much pink even though I love it so. You look so sweet...too bad the cop didn't let you off ):

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.
