Leather Pencil Skirt, Bow Tights, & a Red Cardigan

By
It's Monday already! This past weekend seemed to fly by. There's never enough time! I still have so much to do for classes tomorrow, but it always seems that way.

I wore my leather pencil skirt again yesterday. I had an urge to wear it with my cartoon-looking bow shirt and my bow tights were a natural addition after that. This skirt feels much more wearable after a bit of the length was taken off with the DIY scallop hem. I'm glad I'm getting some wear out of it this year!

When I looked at these pictures, I realized how long my hair is now. It hasn't been this long since 6th grade, so it's pretty unusual for me. I had it in an asymmetrical bob to my chin for the first couple years of college and I enjoy having short hair. I'm liking it like this too though! Eventually I'll get sick of it and want to chop it, but who knows when that'll happen. 

Anyway, I hope you have a jolly Monday!

Isn't it funny how we don't even notice our own looks changing?? I'll look back at picture of me from 6 months ago and feel like I look different from those, even. Your hair is really cute, though!

Yep, the bows are adorable. And I like how the leather skirt toughens up your outfit a bit so you're not too adorable, but still adorable. ;)

This is a super cute outfit! I love all the bows, and how the leather skirt looks edgy but still girly with it's pretty little hem!
My hair has probably never been as long as it is now... and it's not even past my boobs yet!

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.
