Petite Panoply

Red and blue is probably my favorite color combination to wear - especially in the summertime. (Have I said that here before? Probably 10,000 times by now.) And sometimes I like to be as matchy-matchy as possible, which is where this outfit came from. I wore this about a month ago but it's still warm enough to wear it here in Georgia!  Some outfit details: My mini skirt is an old old thrift find that Mom hemmed for me long ago. I need to wear it more often but it's a bit too short for the workplace! The top was a cheapo crop top I probably bought on clearance and my shoes are my new favorites from Target. I should've gotten them in all the colors but figured I'd get plenty of use out of navy blue - my favorite "non neutral neutral."  skirt: thrifted | top: forever 21 | shoes: target | necklace: new york & company I wish I had time to blog more often but time is limited when you're planning a wedding and it's less than 2 months away...

It's been nearly a year since our last The Fringe Off collaboration - see how we styled tacky Christmas sweaters last winter - but here we are again styling ruffles! Be sure to check out how everyone else styled this trend at the end of this post.  The ruffled shirt , the star of this post, is from Forever 21 and combines two recent trends: lace up and ruffles. My plaid skirt is a new favorite that I got from Primark when I was over in Scotland last month. The brown clogs are from Kork Ease's less expensive brand, Korks, and they're the comfiest things. I'll be so sad when they wear out.  This outfit is one of my favorites I've put together lately. I'm excited it's finally cool enough for tights at home because I think the mustard yellow tights add a lot to this look. It all just seems very "fall" to me! It's also been interesting seeing how my clothes and usual color schemes look with blonde hair instead of red. top: forever...

Happy weekend to you! Here's yet another colorful outfit for you to look at. Something about pink and yellow just looks so fun and happy to me. I got this dress for Christmas and the wheels were instantly turning in my head, deciding what colors to pair it with. I wore black tights with it on its first time out (and didn't get pictures) but I went for something more exciting this time. These bright pink tights are a favorite of mine - and also are super comfy for whatever reason - so I threw them on along with some pink lipstick and my comfy Korks clogs. dress: h&m | tights: kmart | shoes: korks - shoe carnival How has your weekend been so far? We're just hanging out around the apartment today, I think. I'm not ready for the work week to start! We spent yesterday in town and went to a little festival thing down the street, took Riker to the dog park, and watched the new episode of Outlander. All in all a good Saturday, but I'm looking forward to a...

It's been way too long since I shared a work outfit with you guys. It just wasn't an option when the sun was setting so soon after getting home, but now that spring is here I'll have some more of these for you. This was a favorite outfit this past month - probably because of the mix of color, ruffles on the blouse, and the thrifted suede skirt I borrowed from my sister's closet back home. (She wasn't using it if it wasn't at school with her, after all.) Brown suede can be such a nice option for a chilly spring day and I loved how this skirt looked with my trusty brown clogs and the forest green tights. What do you think? skirt: thrifted | blouse, tights: forever 21 | clogs: korks - shoe carnival | sunglasses: delia's How was your Monday? I spent my time after work hanging on the couch, eating pizza and watching makeup YouTubers. When Matt's away for work I get to watch whatever I want the entire evening so of course I caught up on makeup tu...

Guess who has some recent pictures to show you? Matt and I took a short walk on the Atlanta BeltLine yesterday and snapped a few photos of my comfy outfit before heading to dinner. I actually wore this outfit to work because it was a casual day, but I've worn this top, jeans, and shoes together with other accessories before. It's a favorite go-to of mine that I hadn't posted here yet!  This fox print top seems to go with everything and I really think it dresses up a standard pair of jeans. The flutter sleeves are kind of fancy, right? I also enjoyed how my leopard print purse looked with the fox print. Who says I can't wear two animal prints at once? Although it probably helps that the fox print is literal foxes and not the print on a fox. (Which would be what? Red?)  Anyway, these clogs are also my favorite lately if you haven't noticed. Never did I think I'd like clogs but these ones are so not frumpy while still being comfortable. Because you guys...

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did! Valentine's Day was a ton of fun. We switched plans last minute because Matt thought going to one of the craft breweries closer in to Atlanta would be fun and I strongly agreed. We decided on Blue Tarp Brewery and headed out there to grab lunch at a noodle place and then hang out at the brewery together. After trying some new brews we wandered around the Korean area of town and tried a random Korean BBQ place. It was something different and delicious. Matt is a perfect partner for trying new foods! It was an entire day of fun and quite possibly the best Valentine's Day we've spent together so far. (And this was the 8th one! How has it been that long?) Anyway, this is what I wore on Valentine's Day. I didn't decide on my outfit until I got in the shower that day. I paired my leopard print dress from Boohoo with some bright red tights and my comfy clogs. I skipped the red lipstick this time. My makeu...

I know I'm not usually so super comfy around here, but sometimes I want to lounge around the house while still being dressed in something that isn't pajamas. This outfit was born out of that situation! These wide legged floral pants are so comfortable they may as well be high-waisted pajamas. I threw on a white top I've had since high school and a slightly oversized mustard yellow cardigan.  You may also notice the rare appearance of glasses in this post. I've been having some eye comfort issues so this was a glasses day. I hardly ever wear my glasses so when I order new ones I tend to order a cheap and slightly ridiculous pair. Yes, these giant pink glasses are indeed in my prescription. Luckily I'm going to get my eyes checked out today so I hope my contacts and eye makeup will be back on my face soon! Even though the glasses were necessary, it's fun to mix it up once in a while and wear my them in an outfit post! pants, shirt: forever 21 | cardigan: ...

Happy Monday everyone! This is yet another outfit I wore in Illinois in October. I really love this floral bell sleeved dress I picked up from Forever 21, so I keep trying to think of new ways to style it. Usually that means another color of tights or new shoes to switch it up but still show the sleeve detail. I know it'll be too cold to go without a jacket or sweater soon though! I've shown this dress with a jean jacket layered over top too which gives it a 90s vibe even though it covers the sleeves. Hooray remixing! This look has a very monochromatic feel. I enjoy seeing others rock monochromatic outfits so I hope I'm doing it well too. I didn't realize just how much magenta/pink stood out in the print until I saw these pictures. The dark pink tights really bring out that shade and make the whole outfit look very pink! Anyway, I added my new clogs because they're delightfully retro just like my dress.   dress: forever 21 | tights: kmart | shoes: korks -...
