Petite Panoply

We've come to the end of the road with my Las Vegas outfit posts. I guess there was only one before this but still. I brought my trusty maroon skater skirt with me on vacation because it looks great with pretty much anything. It was still the festive season so I paired it with a subtly sparkly silver sweater. The polka dot tights are another favorite that look good with nearly anything. I especially love how black looks paired with my maroon skirt too. That's a color scheme I'm sure you see me wear relatively often.  I really like this outfit, but then again it's hard not to like an outfit made up of favorite pieces and a pair of very comfy yet super cute shoes. It certainly was a great outfit choice for wandering down the Las Vegas Strip - comfy and stylish at the same time! Sometimes I like to save new pieces to wear for the first time over vacation, but other times I pack up only things I know I definitely enjoy wearing (and are comfortable). How about you? ...

Happy holidays to you!! I've been a little absent due to traveling and Christmas shenanigans but I'm finally back to show you what I wore on Christmas 2015. You really can't go wrong with a nice green dress for the holidays so I was very happy when I opened this lace number on Christmas morning. My mom and sister know my style so well! Apparently they got a deal on it at H&M. I enjoy the sheer lace detailing and the neckline. Plus this dark green color contrasts perfectly with my hair. I made the dress even more holiday appropriate with some jeweled back seam tights that I wore during the holidays last year  and a pair of sparkly bow earrings. These dark gray leopard print heels are a new addition to my shoe collection. They were only $10 on clearance. Shoe win! I figured they'd add a fun subtle touch of pattern mixing to this look. So what did you wear for the holidays? I'll be checking out your looks soon but you can tell me all about it too. ...

This silver sweater may seem a little bit holiday-tastic for January, but I love it. I'm here to show you can rock metallic pieces after New Year's Eve! Honestly, I think this outfit would be a perfect choice for a casual Valentine's Day but it's perfectly acceptable for a regular day as well. Silver, red, and black is always a winning combination. I've worn this sweater a few times since I got it back around November, but for whatever reason it hasn't been on the blog yet. It's very versatile and the metallic threads aren't scratchy at all (which is a big bonus!) I like that it looks kind of gray from afar and then when you step closer to me it's like, "Ooo sparkly sweater!" This time I layered a studded denim shirt underneath. The studs on the shirt played off the silver sweater. Then I added my neoprene skater skirt, simple black tights, and classic patent loafers. The bow earrings were my final touch! So what do you think? Would y...

This pink, purple, and black plaid skirt is definitely one of my favorite thrift finds. It actually has a matching jacket that's somewhere in my closet back at home. I wouldn't put it past me to wear them together at some point, but so far I'm happy wearing the suit skirt as a separate piece. You don't see plaid with these colors very often! It tends to look great with black pieces, so that's exactly what I did here.  This angora blend short sleeved sweater was another great thrift find. It's so soft. Every time I see pictures of me wearing it I remember how nice it looks even though it's a simple piece. It should definitely be worn more often but I think the first time I wore it gave me a subconscious aversion to choosing it. One of the little angora fibers ended up in my eye ball. It created a lovely allergic reaction that lingered after I picked the hair out. It's worth it to wear this soft, cozy sweater though! sweater: gap - thrifted | sk...

Happy Wednesday! Can you guys believe it's July already? I don't want it to be this late in the summer yet! I'm not ready to give up my leisure time. Anyway, I wore this on Monday and only ended up leaving the house to drop some books off at the library. These are exciting times, my friends. I recently ordered this blue lace top from the Delia's website when they had a big clearance sale. I paid about $5 for it. You can't beat that! I paired it with my trusty houndstooth mini skirt which just does not photograph correctly no matter how many times I try. At least you can see the print in person and in the close-up shots! lace top: delia's | houndstooth mini skirt: thrifted | sandals: shoe carnival | earrings & belt: mom's nail polish: china  glaze - highlight of my summer Boy do I have a patriotic outfit post planned for tomorrow.
