Kiss Me I'm Irish!: A St. Patrick's Day Outfit

By
Happy belated Saint Patrick's Day! My family goes all-out for this holiday, so you can count on me wearing a very green, festive outfit. Luckily St. Patrick's Day tends to fall on my spring break so I get to be home and eat Mom's delicious Irish feast. I always look forward to that meal and the tasty leftovers I get to bring back to Athens. 

shorts, top, shoes: forever 21 | cardigan: delia's | shamrock earrings: from Ireland | hair bow: unknown origin

It was really warm so I wore my new green scalloped shorts. I paired them with a teal cardigan which may be green overload but I don't care! I have quite a few shamrock accessories in my arsenal so those were included too. Hooray for themed outfits!

(I'll have Jeanie's St. Patrick's outfit up for you to see tomorrow!)

It was a good last day home for break, but now I'm back in Athens getting school stuff done. Time to get down to business! 

Happy Monday!

Oh my, how precious are youuuu!? And the green on green is definitely not too much. The different shades are so nice! And I must say that your cadigan matches your pretty pretty eyes so perfectly~

I also love that you have lots of little St. Patrick's things. Especially those earrings. I'm a sucker for cute holiday things, too!

Adorable! I loove those shorts, and the shoes are really cute! I like that you didn't go with just one shade of green. I always feel like a fake wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, since I'm not Irish in the slightest - so I'll enjoy vicariously through you!

I love all of your Shamrock accessories! I only have some bronze colored earrings, and when St. Patrick's day came around I realized I really don't have much green! I need to get more.
I love your shorts, and the mix of greens in this outfit! You look adorable, as always.

What a perfect St. Patrick's Day look! I hate the feeling that I have to dress in green for the day since I can never figure out what to wear but you pulled off an effortlessly cute St. Patty's look. Those shorts make it!

I wore green for St Patrick's day too. I love the two shades of green together and the scalloped edge is amazing. I am always wishing there were more scalloped clothes around. My favourite part is the little hair bow, it is the sweetest ever.

OOO! I love your green shorts! I wish that it was warm enough here to wear shorts! Can't wait for summer!

Glad that you had a great St. Patty's!

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.
