Outfit: 4th of July Red Stripes, Blue Shorts, & Gold Sparkly Loafers

By
Happy Monday everyone! This will be the last holiday-time post but I figured I better get it over with and show you what I wore on the 4th. I decided to go for ultimate comfort and wear these stretchy blue shorts with a striped t-shirt. The gold accessories made everything even more festive! It's not a particularly cutting edge outfit but it's what I wore, it was colorful, and I liked it.

shorts & top: forever 21 | shoes: xhileration - target | necklace: vintage from great grandma | hair bow: ?


Did you guys have a good weekend? I spent the holiday eating ribs and drinking margaritas with my family and family friends. The rest of the weekend was relaxing overall. I got a couple things checked off my to-do list too. Hooray! It feels like I'm starting to get into the groove of summer and my part time freelance work. This month I have to start hardcore looking for a full-time real adult job though. My time of taking it easy after finishing grad school is about done. So we'll see how that pans out.

I hope you all have a great start to your week!

Good luck with the job hunt! It's always good to take a little bit of a break before heading into adulthood, and then take many many breaks whilst there ;)

Awesome outfit for the occasion!

Those shoes are amazing, some people are turned off by sparkles but I think those are just straight up fabulous. Of course maybe they are too much for certain outfits but not that one! Its just perfect. Also good luck job hunting, I am so glad Im going back for grad school so I can not have to focus on jobs and job hunting quite as much.

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 ...

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.
