Blue Lace, Houndstooth Mini Skirt, & Neon Nails

By
Happy Wednesday! Can you guys believe it's July already? I don't want it to be this late in the summer yet! I'm not ready to give up my leisure time.

Anyway, I wore this on Monday and only ended up leaving the house to drop some books off at the library. These are exciting times, my friends. I recently ordered this blue lace top from the Delia's website when they had a big clearance sale. I paid about $5 for it. You can't beat that! I paired it with my trusty houndstooth mini skirt which just does not photograph correctly no matter how many times I try. At least you can see the print in person and in the close-up shots!

Boy do I have a patriotic outfit post planned for tomorrow. Be prepared. If there ever can be a slightly socially-acceptable themed outfit, I take full advantage of the opportunity.

Lace and houndstooth... now there's something I've never seen! But it looks so goooooodddd. Especially since you kept everything else neutral.

Man, you strike some good deals. I clearly need to do more sale shopping. I either get super rad cheap deals or decide to pay a ton for something, haha!

And also, (braces self for awesome patriotic outfit). I can't wait to your rad 4th of July outfit. On the other hand, I'm lame and will probably just wear something red :P :P

This outfit is so cute! I love that top and skirt on you!
Hehe, I can't wait to see your patriotic outfit! I really want to go all-out this year, but it might be a challenge since my belly makes wearing my normal clothes a bit difficult.

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.
