Colorful Plaid Shirt, Green Cardigan, Corduroy Shorts, & Burgundy Ankle Boots

By
Happy Friday everyone! Here's an outfit I wore a couple weeks back that somehow ended up on the back burner. Or maybe I just magically created snow and grew my hair out in a week. You decide.

I really love these corduroy shorts I bought from Forever 21 a couple years ago. They're so comfortable and have held up perfectly. I decided to pair them with my colorful flannel shirt and a green cardigan I thrifted over the summer. There are hardly any neutral colors going on in this outfit and I kind of love that. Navy is a neutral in my book, but not everyone's, and these shorts are kind of a bright, tawny brown shade so they can swing either way. Good times. I'm sure I'm thrilling you with my dialogue right now. So here's the outfit:

cardigan: ann taylor loft - thrifted | flannel shirt: xhileration - target | shorts: forever 21 | tights: target kids' section | boots: boohoo | bow: handmade




This is another bow my cousin made me. I love houndstooth and it nearly perfectly matches the print on one of my brown houndstooth mini skirt (seen in this post with a boat print shirt from a couple years back). I may have to wear them together soon...




I hope you guys are having a good week. Mine has been trying and it's only the beginning of the pile of crap I'm going to have to trudge through to make it out of this stage of my life. The amount of work ahead of me that I have nearly no time to work on is daunting. Honestly, it's pretty depressing. A few hours of the week I'm like, "Yeah you've got this. You can do it." Most times I'm telling myself it's very nearly impossible. I just feel so stuck. 

But anyway, you didn't come here to hear my sob story. I hope you have a glorious weekend ahead of you! I'm going to try to read some of your blogs when/if I have time. At least that's something to look forward to!

Ah my week's been the same, and I question how I'll ever get through the rest of it...anyway, love those shorts and navy can definitely be a neutral! I really like the location of these shots too.

dayum girl, your hair sure does grow quick! ;) wish I had that ability. BUT REALLY I DO.

Onward, to your cute, colorful outfit. The fact that you can mash all these colors together is absolutely magic. That shirt looks like such a fun staple!

This is so colourful and fun, so beautiful. I also love your new hair that you showed us in the last post. Suits you perfectly. I hear you about the work you need to get done. I know exactly how that feels. Thinking of you.

Navy is definitely a neutral for me too. It goes with everything and it suits us redheads better than black ;) I love your colorful style, and you know it. xo

As always a wonderful outfit!

I'm totally feeling your week, my entire job is like that. Maybe once a week I think I've got everything in order and I'm hanging in there and the rest of the time I'm sitting in the corner under the mound of work that I'll never have time for.

Chin up and you'll get there!!

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

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 ...

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...
