Outfit: Skeleton Print Dress, Burgundy Leather Jacket, and Polka Dot Tights

By
I was so happy to be able to borrow this skeleton print dress from Jessica over at Midwest Muse. It's such a unique print! The different skeleton pieces have little labels pointing to the different anatomical parts. It's definitely not a print that would be allowed during an anatomy test. Good thing I don't have to worry about that! 

I actually wore this dress twice. (You'll see the other way I styled it later.) This time I went with a burgundy leather jacket I got on clearance at Forever 21 and nearly-matching lipstick. I thought polka dot tights might be a fun, girly option to pair with the edgy skeleton print too. I actually love how this mix of prints turned out. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Sorry for slacking on the usual posting schedule this week. I was preparing for an interview all Tuesday (which is usually when I write Wednesday's post) and didn't want to spend that precious time on my blog. The job didn't end up working out, but what else is new? Alas, the job hunt goes on. And on and on and on. I don't want to mope to my blog people though. You come here for outfits and that feels like the only positive thing I can contribute right now. 

Can you believe it's already Friday? I hope you all have something fun to do this weekend. Have a good one!

Love that pattern clashing! 'Tis a lovely dress :)

I get you on the slack posting schedule.. I have't posted in almost two weeks. It's killing me but I feel like I have nothing to contribute lately :(

I'm sorry to hear about your poor luck on the job hunting front.. Something will eventually turn up, it always does (you're not going to be unemployed for the rest of your life, no matter how much it feels like that!).

Sorry you're having bad luck in your job hunt - sometimes it just goes that way for what feels like forever, but like Demi says, it never actually IS forever. Just don't get disheartened - always remember a lot of getting a job is due to factors that are completely outside of your control. I think once you accept that your own abilities are a small part of it, it doesn't feel so bad...

And in the meanwhile, at least you're still looking cute! This dress looked great on Jessica and looks great on you too - you're both such stylish ladies!

Jessica is so stylish and such a style inspiration! What a fun dress! I laughed at your comment that it wouldn't be allowed during an anatomy test. Love the jacket as well!

I've been wanting this dress for a while now. I love how you styled it! I especially love it with the polka dot tights. Does it glow in the dark really well, or is it kinda meh?

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...

Don't Dream It

...be it! I love a good performance of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. We went to see the live shadow cast Lips Down on Dixie perform at the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta. It was awesome, as always! This is Jeanie and her friend Leslie before they got their lipstick Rocky virgin V's on their foreheads. Leslie even got the honor of holding the criminologist's book during a part of the show. Pretty ballin'. Butt shot! Yes, those are heels I have on with leopard print pajamas. It was a take on Columbia in the touch-a touch me scene. The real pj's are stripes, but this is what I had! I did have the mickey ears and crazy makeup though, so it counts. [How fun would it be to wear one of those costumes for Halloween?] I always enjoy this show. I don't think I could keep the smile off my face. It's just so fun! Sometime soon I'll go back, for sure. If you're in the area you should definitely check them out. They put on a great sho...
