Outfit: Plaid Mock Turtleneck Dress, Leather Jacket, and Cutout Ankle Boots

By
I've officially worn this exact outfit four different times. Yes, I love it that much! Also I meant to take pictures of it all of those times but that didn't pan out due to lack of light or rainy days. I'm sure this happens to plenty of you other bloggers too! So I just kept wearing it over and over. The accessories and makeup may have changed, but that's about it.

This red plaid mock turtleneck dress is a recent Forever 21 purchase. It was so cheap and so comfy I couldn't resist. Plus I didn't own any plaid dresses! I thought pairing it with my black leather jacket was a pretty classic combination. I added gray tights instead of black to mix it up a little and make the look less harsh. What do you think? I'd love to hear your ideas about other ways to style this dress. I wear a lot of red but I feel like I always end up wearing it with black or yellow.

Are you guys doing anything fun this weekend? I feel like I ask every Friday but I like to live vicariously through you. I actually have plans with Matt this weekend though, so I'm glad! It's good to get out of the house once in a while! 

Have a wonderful Friday!

It's so hard with colourful plaids - it always feels like everything you put with them doesn't quite work. I'd probably want to put something like a chunky, cream or oatmeal piece of knitwear with a dress like this... but I like the grey and black you've gone with too! CC x

LOL Yep! Wear it until it's documented--or it never happened. LOL Love this dress! Looks so cute with the little gold bow too!

Black and red is always a winning combination. I have hardly any red in my wardrobe, so I don't really have any ideas on how to style it. I also don't have any plaid, so I've no knowledge there either!

This is such a cute outfit! I think you styled it perfectly by pairing the dress with grey tights. I think white might work too, but it might look a little Christmas-y.

I live how warm & seasonally appropriate this dress looks! Also loving how you styled it with the leather jacket! Red is a lovely color on you :)

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...

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...
