Vintage Lacoste Cardigan, Leopard Print Top, & Corduroy Shorts

By
This vintage Lacoste cardigan and my leopard print blouse is becoming a favorite combination. I don't know what it is about leopard and this shade of blue but I love it. I found this cardigan while scouring Goodwill sweaters in Illinois over winter break. The color is wonderful and the thing is in great shape for being late 50s/early 60s.

I wore almost this same outfit before with my high-waisted skinny jeans so I figured it'd look equally good with my trusty corduroy shorts. I'm not sure which outfit I liked better but I'm sure I'll be wearing a version of this again!

P.S. Here's yet another new hair bow made by my cousin. It's so plaid-tastic!

cardigan: lacoste - thrifted | shorts: forever 21 | blouse: thrifted | boots: thrifted | necklace: forever 21 | bow: handmade





After writing this post I just realized most of this outfit is thrifted. I always love when that happens! Plus it was comfortable which is always a plus. It's hard to make an outfit with these corduroy shorts uncomfortable though...

I hope you guys are having a nice week. I'm slowly getting used to having only a couple hours of non-working, non-sleeping, non-commuting time per day. (Being adult-ish is hard!)

haha, "adult-ish." I like that term a ton. This is a comfy and cute outfit--you always look so cool in blue! I guess the contrast against your hair is nice. :D Good luck on your busy, busy week!

The quirky-ness of your style just keeps getting more and more awesome! I would never think to pair leopard print and blue, but it goes so great on you! I imagine not so great on myself.

Your cardigan is the most stunning and unique colour. I want it! Love the way it looks against leopard print.

Your cousin makes these bows? Man, they're adorable! :D I love this shade of blue too! It's the only shade that doesn't make me look like a pale freak :D

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.
