Navy Striped Dress, Spiky Shoes, and a Bouffant

By
Remember my mustache dress I wore a few posts back? Well this is the same Walmart child dress with a different pattern! I think I'll get more wear out of this classic striped number than the mustache print one, but they were both so inexpensive it really doesn't matter. I can definitely see this dress worn a number of different ways - especially in cooler weather with tights and various layering items. Its first time out needed to have a nautical vibe though. Gold and navy blue always look great together. Plus I had new anchor earrings to wear.

How would you wear a striped dress like this?

In other life news I began the process of moving Matt into my apartment over the weekend. That meant clearing out a lot of my clothes and taking them home. Sad times. Though there were things there that I haven't worn in a long time so I guess I should donate some stuff. It's probably unnecessary to keep shirts from high school. I feel like I have so many clothes I can't wear them all but I want them there as options if I have the urge to wear something specific! Anybody else like that? There's just not room! I want an entire room closet. Ah...life dreams...

Happy Monday!

Indeed! I can see some serious mixing abilities with this dress! You are so lucky to fit into child's sizes. And your sandals are adorable!

Your accessories in this outfit are killer, Jamie! The belt, the necklace, those rad sandals... I love 'em all!

Hmmm, I think for winter you should pair this dress with some really bright hot pink tights. I dunno, that's the first thing I thought of.

It's sad having to get rid of clothes... especially ones from high school, aw! Like all those little event T-shirts... I still have all mine that fit, but I guess once I get out of college wearing them won't be top on my priority list. I wish you luck in cleaning! Be sure to save some things!~~

Haha omg, I swear every blogger is dating a Matt. Anyways, I totally tried the kid's section thing yesterday, and all the kids stuff at target was just as expensive as the adult stuff! D: It was a sad day. But anyways, you look really cute! I love the contrast of your red hair with the blue dress.

I'm loving that dress - so cute! You could even wear it as a top or skirt when it get cooler!

Also, I feel the same way about clothes - way to much emotional attachment for sure!

I die over your hair, it's so pretty looking and you always do such pretty hairstyles. This one is fabulous and it's so striking with the navy dress! (And those studded sandals are pretty fabulous as well, they look so unexpected with such a classic look.)

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.
