Polka Dot Shorts, Pink Tights, a Mock Turtleneck Sweater, & Vintage Pin

By
Happy Monday everyone!

I really love these polka dot shorts, but unfortunately they're starting to die. Some seams are coming apart and hems are fraying. I guess that makes sense since they were something around $12 and I've worn them a ton of times. I'll have to snatch up a new pair when I come across some. They're so versatile! I especially love them paired with brightly colored tights like these pink ones. I also wore my newly thrifted black mock turtleneck sweater in this outfit! I never thought I'd be into turtleneck-ish things, but now look at me. I love the way this outfit turned out!

I'm hoping this week goes more smoothly than last week. The weekends never last long enough, but I'm sure it'll seem like that for the rest of my life. I'm having a hard time managing my small amount of free time. If only I didn't need to sleep...

Have a great start to your week!

This whole combo works so well with your hair colour. Your tights are such a lovely colour, a really rich pink, fuscia even. Kx

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...

Don't Dream It

...be it! I love a good performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. We went to see the live shadow cast Lips Down on Dixie perform at the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta. It was awesome, as always! This is Jeanie and her friend Leslie before they got their lipstick Rocky virgin V's on their foreheads. Leslie even got the honor of holding the criminologist's book during a part of the show. Pretty ballin'. Butt shot! Yes, those are heels I have on with leopard print pajamas. It was a take on Columbia in the touch-a touch me scene. The real pj's are stripes, but this is what I had! I did have the mickey ears and crazy makeup though, so it counts. [How fun would it be to wear one of those costumes for Halloween?] I always enjoy this show. I don't think I could keep the smile off my face. It's just so fun! Sometime soon I'll go back, for sure. If you're in the area you should definitely check them out. They put on a great sho...
