Outfit: Polka Dot Blazer, Purple Graphic Tee, and Acid Wash Skinny Jeans

By
Just a quick outfit post today! I wore this casual outfit last week and probably didn't even need the jacket when I took these pictures. I thought it was a much more interesting look with the addition of my polka dot blazer though. This blazer always gets buried underneath other more-often-worn coats so I sometimes forget about it. It's a nice light layer that's actually perfect for springtime. Unfortunately it's usually too hot for jackets once proper springtime rolls around, so I'm wearing it now! I threw it on over a purple The New Pornographers band t-shirt and my skinny acid wash jeans. 

I really like these jeans but I find them hard to style. I know I should treat them as a neutral denim but for some reason that's difficult for me! How do you guys style acid wash items? I know they're not everyone's taste, but once I bought these pants I appreciated the 80s goodness so much more. They're a good mix of a vintage wash with a modern cut.

Also, check out my new blue flats!

I hope you had a nice weekend and did something fun! Mine went by far too quickly, but when is that ever not the case? 

Have a wonderful start to your week!

It's really weird but I feel the same thing about my polka dot blazer. I felt like I would wear it all the time, but really I always forget about it. I just did a remix post on it last week, actually. But this is a great way to wear it! And I love your acid wash jeans!

I think you work those jeans amazingly! And you totally make it your own too!

I love the blue shoes, I don't have any blue flats but would really like some. I adore the way you styled the acid wash jeans and polka dots, of course, are a favourite of mine.

Oh I absolutely love acid denim, I'd pair it with everything!!! :D You can think of it as a normal pair of jeans and wear stuff that you would normally wear with them. I think it would look great with almost any color and pattern.
Love the way you styled them here, I love seeing you in jeans ^_^

I don't have anything that's acid denim, I always shy away from it because I'm not sure how to work with it. I'm also trying to buy no new jeans and to reduce the amount of times I wear them. Especially on the weekend, it's a no jeans zone for me!

Wow! First of all: I hardly ever saw you in long pants so this is unusual for me. Look sreally good on you! :) And then I have to say that I basically like every single piece of this outfit on its own and put together it's just perfect! I would steal this from your closet if I couldm especially the blazer and shoes! ;D

I love how you styled these jeans! And you're right about the polka dot blazer being the perfect finishing touch. I'm with ya- once spring rolls around here it's also too hot for jackets so I'm trying to rotate through all of mine now :)

Cobalt blue is my favorite blue to wear, so I really love your new flats! I'm afraid I cannot give you any advice on how to style your jeans other than maybe do a Pinterest search. I always love your 80s and 90s inspired outfits! xo

Your flats are SO perfect! I adore them. And I have no idea how I would style acid-wash jeans; I had a pair back in my teen years but... I had no sense of style back then and it was kind of a disaster. You look WAY cuter than I ever would! I bet these would be adorable for cooler summer days with a tied-up button-up shirt and sandals!

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...
