Outfit: Petite Dark Wash Bell Bottoms, Blue Striped Shirt, and Yellow Wedges

High Waisted Flare Jeans, Yellow Wedges, and a Blue Striped Shirt

Behold! I found a pair of bell bottoms for short women and they came from Old Navy! If you're short, you know how difficult it is to find properly fitting jeans outside of the straight leg or skinny styles. Skinny jeans and straight jeans can be hemmed and they'll generally look fine. With flares, you end up chopping off most of the flared part of the denim. Not only that, but the flare itself starts so far down on your leg it looks ridiculous. Needless to say, it was a journey trying to find bell bottoms made with a short inseam without having to spend over $150.

At a recent mall trip I noticed Old Navy had high waisted bell bottoms so I tried them on even though I knew they'd be way too long on me. My local Old Navy stores don't carry petite sizes so I had to cross my fingers and guess at a size to order online. The high-rise rockstar flare-leg jeans ended up fitting wonderfully with a pair of tall wedges. Unfortunately they don't carry the medium-wash pair I tried on in the store in the petite inseam but I really love this dark wash too. 

If you get a pair, please remember to wash them a few times before wearing because whatever dye they use just seeps out of the denim. (It sucks, but it's worth it for a pair of affordable - $28 right now - petite jeans!) I recommend checking out Old Navy's denim selection if you're on the hunt for some bell bottoms (or any style of jean) and you're under 5'3"!

In other news, the glasses I wore here are broken now. I've since replaced them with my fun cat eye glasses and another pair, but I still kind of miss these ones!

In even bigger news, I found an apartment with Matt and we're moving into the city at the end of the month. I'm excited and scared, but it should be a good change. We're really looking forward to living together again and being downtown with all kinds of fun things to do nearby. So you can look forward to seeing some new adventures in the near future! Until then, keep up with my life on Instagram and right here on the blog!

Happy Monday!

Yaaay so happy for the new apartment! Although moving out sucks, especially if you have tons of crap like I did :D
I love these flare jeans, absolutely understand your pain with short people's problems :D You can always try to wear them with a gigantic heel, but where's the fun in that!
I'm glad you found this pair because you look lovely in them!

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...
