Leopard Print Blouse, Maroon Skater Skirt, & Retro Makeup

By
Hello and happy Monday everyone! I can't believe it's already Monday. Where did the weekend go? I guess I spent most of mine at band or trying to get a good amount of rest. Too bad I roll over onto my newly pierced ear about every hour. 

Anyway, I wore this on Friday. I told you I'd have one more maroon skirt outfit and here it is! I promise next time I'll wear something else. My leopard print top looked so perfect with this skirt though! Too bad I only went to see a movie in this outfit. I ended up curling my hair after these pictures were taken, but there's only instagram proof of it. Next time I curl it maybe it'll end up in the outfit pictures!

Hey look it's my face! I was watching a bunch of pin curl tutorials on YouTube this day and everyone had pretty retro makeup on, so I had to go with the cat-eye liner and red lips. My slightly wavier hair is the result of a failed first time pin curl attempt. (Which would be why I curled it later. Such an enthralling story, I know.)




I failed to do anything particularly productive this weekend, yet again. That means plenty of school reading will happen today. I did learn a life lesson about pancakes on Sunday though. When making pancakes, don't use the Bisquick that was shoved to the back of the shelf because you will be eating something resembling the taste of pancake, but with the density of a piece of meat. Words of wisdom.

Happy Monday!

Yeah, those hair tutorials are quite misleading in making all the tricky techniques look so easy. Practise makes perfect though! Speaking of productivity, I have a huge pile of 'holiday homework' meant to be done over the summer in preparation for m final year of school, and with one and a half weeks of holidays left, I am running out of time, and better be productive :/ Love your blouse with that wonderful skirt

My parents totally learned the same thing with pancakes this weekend. They made some and I'm pretty sure the mix was quite old... good thing I'm not a pancake eater! ;) no suffering here hahaha.

That leopard top is so so pretty and goes so very well with your maroon skirt. What a versatile skirt that's turning out to be!

OOO! I think that this is my favorite outfit with your new skirt! I love the color combo with the animal print! Also, your hair looks great!

In regards to your words of wisdom, I'll have to remember that one. It doesn't sound too appetizing. :P

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 ...

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...

Leather Scalloped Skirt, Polka Dots, & Orange Tights

Happy weekend everyone! I just had the most lazy weird Friday ever, so I'm updating later than usual. I basically slept on and off since class got done at noon. I know, I'm pretty exciting. This outfit was fun today though! I wore my leather skirt that we recently DIY scallop hemmed. I may post a little tutorial of sorts on how to do that, but it's pretty self explanatory. I like that the skirt is a little shorter now. It still squeezes my insides right at the waist, but it's more comfortable now that I'm having a few skinny months. Leather just doesn't have any give! Oh well, it looks cool. skirt, top, shoes: thrifted | tights, earrings, hair bow: forever21.com  I got to pull out my bag of long-sleeved tops and sweaters and such today. It's finally cool in the morning so the extra arm covering was welcome. Plus it was almost like Christmas getting to pull out my warm-weather-only clothes after all this time!  I always love when I real...
