Bright Blue Tights, New Studded Flats, & A Sway Chic Review

By
I'm not sure what color to call these tights I found in the Target kids' section, but they're verging into neon blue territory. They're the only pair I have anywhere close to this color and I like them! This is one of those outfits where the accessories stand out the most.

The people at Sway Chic sent me the studded shoes and the spiky ring I'm wearing here. I will get so much wear out of these flats because they're basic black while still having a fun detail. Plus I've been wanting some studded things to add a tiny bit of edginess into my wardrobe. Sway Chic has a great selection of girly items with an edgy twist, which is just what I've been into lately! They even have an entire dress section devoted to cutout dresses and for all of you oxblood fanatics they have a section of only oxblood colored things.

Hey look the shoes can be worn two ways! The tab gives them a loafer-ish feel, but it can be tucked in really easily too.

This spiked ring is bad ass. It could be used as a defensive device should anyone attack me. Basically, it's way cooler than I am but I'll try to pretend I'm cool enough to wear it. 


In other news, it's finally Thanksgiving break! I'll be returning home soon to celebrate Dad's birthday. Then there'll be some epic feasting and spending time with my family the rest of the week. I'll get to visit with George too! I'm excited.

Have a happy weekend!

Have a great Thanksgiving break, chica.

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.
