A Girly Pink Pencil Skirt, Sparkly Sunglasses, Polka Dot Bustier, & Floral Shoes Outfit

By
Today is my 23rd birthday! I wore this outfit last week but it's definitely a recent favorite and I like how the pictures turned out so it'll be my outfit post for today. Jeanie took these pictures for me after class the other day so hooray for some different scenery!

Anyway, this outfit was kind of inspired by Barbie. Pink sparkly sunglasses and a pink skirt with a polka dot bustier combines for ultimate girly-ness. Pink and sparkles automatically equals Barbie in my mind. Maybe I'm 90s Barbie with my jean jacket? The specifics don't matter because this was just a fun outfit and especially appropriate to post on the blog on my birthday.

jean jacket: so... - thrifted | bustier top: forever 21 | skirt: thrifted | shoes: not rated - delia's | necklace: made by my aunt | sunglasses: dollar store | gracie camera bag purse - jo totes






Unfortunately I have class today even though it's Columbus Day and my birthday. I'm going out to dinner tonight though. I haven't figured out where yet, but I'm sure it'll be ultra tasty. I'm pretty sure this birthday will be a calm one and that's a-okay with me. Last year's celebration was kind of a catastrophe so pushing that farther in the past is a good thing. 

It feels really weird to be 23 though. I'm getting old. I'm just hoping this year of my life will be better than 22 was because 22 sucked. Feeling like 22 felt like constant graduate work and no friends and a few other sad events. I did have fun with my wardrobe though, so I guess that's a good thing! 

But anyway. I hope you guys have a great day! I will be having the best day possible because it's my birthday!

AH! Happy, happy birthday Jamie!!! I hope you're having a fantastic day even though you DID have to go to school. Hehe, and you just wait till you get married and start having kids, THEN you'll be like "Whoa, I grew up, when did that happen? I'm old."
Well, I don't actually feel old, but sometimes it's just weird.
I think this outfit is so adorable, and I totally get the Barbie thing! I have some almost pastel pink lipstick that is very Barbie to me, in the best way possible. Pink and sparkles is definitely Barbie.

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 ...

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...

Leather Scalloped Skirt, Polka Dots, & Orange Tights

Happy weekend everyone! I just had the most lazy weird Friday ever, so I'm updating later than usual. I basically slept on and off since class got done at noon. I know, I'm pretty exciting. This outfit was fun today though! I wore my leather skirt that we recently DIY scallop hemmed. I may post a little tutorial of sorts on how to do that, but it's pretty self explanatory. I like that the skirt is a little shorter now. It still squeezes my insides right at the waist, but it's more comfortable now that I'm having a few skinny months. Leather just doesn't have any give! Oh well, it looks cool. skirt, top, shoes: thrifted | tights, earrings, hair bow: forever21.com  I got to pull out my bag of long-sleeved tops and sweaters and such today. It's finally cool in the morning so the extra arm covering was welcome. Plus it was almost like Christmas getting to pull out my warm-weather-only clothes after all this time!  I always love when I real...
