Blue Lace Dress for a Valentine Date Night

By
Happy Friday! I'm excited to share this outfit with you because I loved it so much. I wore this on Wednesday night for Matt and my Valentine date. I enjoy getting all dressed up, so I took my sweet time curling my hair and perfecting my makeup when I had the chance. I was saving my new Modcloth dress for this occasion too. It always feels good to wear a new dress!

oh so quiet dress: modcloth | scalloped suede heels: daisy fuentes - kohl's? | backseam nylons: macy's | necklace: gift from Matt | belt: came with a forever 21 skirt 



Heart nails were a necessary addition to a Valentine outfit.



lipstick: wet n wild megalast - stoplight red

Backseam tights! Finally! I got them over winter break at Macy's and they didn't break my bank account. I think Matt liked them too which is always a plus. 


I can't wait to wear this dress again. It'll probably be in a more casual way next time, but I think I can make that work. The lace overlay has a little bit of shiny silver woven into it, but you can't really tell in the pictures. It's still wearable for normal days. I tend to overdress anyway!

Matt and I had a really great time Wednesday night. We had a beer at Trappeze Pub, ate dinner at an Italian restaurant, then decided to take advantage of $3 margaritas at a taco place. It sounds strange with me living so close to downtown Athens, but I really don't go out very much. It was extremely pleasant to have a couple drinks and spend some quality time with Matt outside of the apartment!

Anyway, it's almost the weekend! I hope you all have a great one!

I'd say this outfit is...PERFECTION. I adore that beautiful cobalt blue, especially with the black to contrast. Plus you've got seamed stockings and such charming shoes!

You looked gorgeous for Valentine's day! I love your Modcloth Oh So Quiet Dress! I didn't know Macy's carried back-seamed stockings. I have always loved them and will look for some the next time I shop there. Your hair is styled beautifully! I'm glad you and Matt had a lovely time out and about and that people got to see you and your pretty outfit. I can see where that lovely floral lace overlay dress would be a favourite!

GAH! I almost bought this dress in their sale and I so wish I would've! It's perfect on you. Also how the heck do you curl your hair? I can never get my shorter hair to curl. So jealous. Oh, and your nails are amazing.

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.
