I Have a Denim Shirt Now! (and wore it with floral tights and a skater skirt)

By
This'll be a short outfit post today since there were only a few pictures. Here it is: my new denim shirt! I got it on sale for something around $8. It also has cool stud detailing on it - but they're not too stabby so I can still layer sweaters over it. You guys, I'm pretty excited about having a denim shirt. For its first debut I paired it with my trusty maroon H&M skater skirt and these floral tights I got from a Modcloth sale.

shirt: forever 21 | skirt: h&m | tights: modcloth | boots: thrifted

I think these tights are so fun but each time I wear them I realize they're really not flattering. I have pretty nice sized legs and these make my legs look strange. Kind of like they're the same width the whole way down? Maybe it's just me. They're still a fun pattern though, so I'll continue to wear them on occasion just like I do now. Who said everything I wear had to be flattering anyway?

I've had a disappointing past few days. Mostly because I'm disappointing to myself. My weekend was spent doing school work yet somehow managing to still be behind with all the research papers I have to write. I also don't feel that confident about my ability to get an internship (that'll count for credit hours) for next spring. Things aren't looking good even though I need one to graduate. I just want to get out of school but it's like I'm being held back. Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty down. I hate to complain at you guys though, so I'm stopping.

I hope you guys are having a better week than I am! Have a happy Wednesday!

I know what you mean--certain patterns on tights just seem to give your legs a prettier shape than others. And I love your new denim shirt! I have more than one--haha, I really like denim shirts!

As for school, I'm sorry to hear you feel like you're falling behind. But I'm sure you'll be able to get an internship, it's just overwhelming when theres so much to do!

I'm sorry you've been feeling blue, but remember--you can only do your best. Don't overdo yourself. Sometimes I feel that I do my best work when I give myself a break now and again. Don't worry!

As for the outfit--love. You will get soooooo much wear out of this top--trust. I love the tights too!

Pshh, fuck "flattering"! (if you're excuse my French =P) Those tights are awesome, you styled 'em awesome, and you look awesome in them.

Sorry to hear that you're feeling overwhelmed and down. That sucks =/ I hope things look up soon! At the very least, you look cute.

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.
