Petite Panoply

I picked up this crushed velvet crop top from Forever 21 a few weeks ago with a birthday gift card. I couldn't resist its delightful crushed velvety-ness! I actually had a dress in almost this exact same fabric but it was way too large in the shoulders and bust so I gave it to my sister. This crop top fits perfectly though! For its debut I layered it over a leopard print high-low dress I got at Target a couple years ago. Layering crop tops over dresses is a great way to remix your dresses without adding a lot of bulk. This was kind of a perfect way to make this dress work for fall since it has spaghetti straps. I added my burgundy leather jacket for extra warmth even though I wore this before that big cold front blew down here. I just realized that this is the third outfit post in a row featuring leopard print. I'm sorry for leopard overload! I promise I don't wear it every day. These just happen to be the outfits I got pictures of recently.  leopard dress: xhilerati...

I wore this sailor-y and dotty outfit last week. I thought I may have been giving off a little bit of a 90s Sunday school teacher vibe, but I got a lot of random positive comments on this outfit. I like it even more now that I've seen the pictures. This sailor top has been sitting in my drawer all summer and hasn't been in an outfit post yet. If you want to give me more ideas on how to wear it, I'm open for suggestions. You guys probably know my wardrobe pretty well by now! I think it looked really great with this polka dot dress though! dress: romwe | top: forever 21 | shoes: bongo - kmart | sunglasses: dollar tree | bracelet: vintage hand-me-down Yesterday was Jeanie's 20th birthday so Happy Birthday Jeanie!! It needed to be said on the blog! Thank you for taking these pictures for me homegirl. Do you guys ever have weeks that just suck for no real reason? I've been in a funk all week. I know I always try to be positive and cheerful o...

It was hot walking to class yesterday! I felt like wearing something that would be comfortable and light so I pulled out my slightly over-sized American Apparel t-shirt. I wore my leopard print dress as a skirt again too. I think I've worn it more this way than as a dress. It's really great that I can get two different looks out of it though!  Also, check out my newest pair of sunglasses! They're so big and orange! I love them. You can never have too many pairs of sunglasses. leopard print dress worn as a skirt: xhileration - target | t-shirt: american apparel - sam's club | belt: ralph lauren - thrifted | brown flats: xhileration - target | sunglasses, cameo necklace: forever 21 nails: o.p.i. - you only live twice, o.p.i. - when monkeys fly I was not feeling the heat yesterday at all. It wasn't even that bad, but when I walk quickly to class I end up sweaty and disgusting by the time I get there. I guess I should be used to this by no...

Happy Friday everyone! I was feeling like wearing leopard print today (when am I not feeling like that?) and realized I don't have a leopard print skirt here. Then I saw my high-low dress from Target that I wore in this post and figured I could just wear it as a skirt! And so this outfit was born. A mix of leopard print, an old Rainbow concert t-shirt, and my 60's patent leather bow flats. dress worn as skirt: xhileration - target | t-shirt: old concert shirt from Dad | cardigan: so... - kohls | shoes: vintage - thrifted | belt: thrifted | earrings: charming charlie | hair bow: h&m Well I hope everyone has a great weekend if I don't return, but I'll probably update because Sunday is my birthday! Wooo me! Woo birthday! Actually I'm pretty sure I'm not doing much, but I may go downtown tomorrow night and party it up and I'm definitely doing dinner with the family on Sunday which should be delicious. It's not as exciting o...

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...
