Petite Panoply

Matt and I went out to the State Botanical Garden of Georgia last fall and we got quite a few nice pictures, so we had to repeat that trip this year. I like to get at least a couple good pictures of us together each year. What's a better time than while the fall colors are still around? We don't go over to the botanical garden nearly enough even though it's down the street! Maybe I can convince Matt we need to take another trip there next week? what I'm wearing - top: thrifted | jeans: forever 21 | shoes: boohoo Matt just loves when I take pictures of him... I hope you guys had a nice week. Mine has been busy, but I still have a ton of school work to get done this weekend. It'll be a writing papers kind of weekend. (The most exciting kind!) It gets hard to stay motivated around this time in the semester. Thanksgiving break is around the corner, though I'll still have a bunch of work to do over the "break". Oh well! At least there ...

I love this leopard print dress! I bought it with some Boohoo.com credits won on a Broke and Beautiful giveaway. These black ankle boots were part of that purchase too. I've been getting plenty of wear out of my boots and plan on wearing this leopard print dress many many more times. I may even wear it for Thanksgiving since it's nice and comfortable while still being incredibly cute. This time I paired it with my $15 burgundy faux leather jacket from Forever 21 and a pair of classic black back seam nylons. This is definitely one of my favorite outfits I've recently worn. leopard dress: boohoo | jacket: forever 21 | nylons: macy's | boots: boohoo | belt: thrifted I hope you guys are having a great Monday!

Happy Monday! Here's an outfit I put together from a few new things I got on sale at Forever 21. I ended up buying things that could be paired together so I did just that! I like these new tights even though they're kind of a weird oatmeal color that's very similar to my actual leg color. You can see their fishnet-y pattern on a couple of the close-up pictures. This leopard print peplum skirt is a new favorite too. It's a different shape than the other skirts in my closet. I'm looking forward to pairing it with some sort of concert t-shirt and boots. top, skirt, tights, shoes: forever 21 | camera bag: jototes This is my peplum butt pose. I hope you guys are taking notes so you can replicate my top modeling. I hope you guys had a nice weekend and utilized that extra hour. I used it for school work so that was kind of lackluster. P.S. Did you see my interview on Introvert's Introduction ? Lauren interviewed me for her blogger of the mont...

I ordered this retro mustard dress with some credit from Oasap but it didn't fit me! Luckily it was a perfect fit on Jeanie so I gave it to her and she's modeling it in this post. She paired it with a pair of purple tights and some cute wedge boots with fringe detailing. I think this is a perfect dress for fall because it's one of those distinctly autumnal colors. Mustard can pair with so many different colors too! This dress is also a pretty heavy material for the price so it should be plenty warm for a mild Georgia winter. dress: c/o oasap | tights: target? | belt: thrifted | boots: modcloth Do you guys have anything fun planned for Halloween tomorrow? I'll be dressing up and heading downtown after my annual Halloween movie marathon! I'm pretty pumped. Halloween is my favorite holiday after all.  Happy Wednesday!

Happy Friday everyone! I really loved wearing the outfit in this post. It's super autumnal! It was the first time I got to wear my new burgundy faux leather jacket. It was a steal at only $15 on the Forever 21 website so I had to buy it! I thought it looked perfect layered over this white dress and I'm sure it'll look great with a ton of other things this season. Weirdly, I didn't wear this dress at all over the summer but really enjoyed styling it for cooler weather. Something about white dresses and tights just works in my mind! dress: bailey blue - thrifted | jacket: forever 21 | tights: forever 21 | boots: traffic | belt: thrifted I had a nice day yesterday. Jeanie and I went to the Aaron Carter concert which was 90s-tastic and nostalgic. He sang "That's How I Beat Shaq" so my day was made. Afterward, we feasted on Steak n Shake. It was a great birthday present! Thanks Jeanie! This weekend I'll be heading home to visit with ...

Today I'm really excited to spotlight Warby Parker 's fall 2013 collection! The eyeglasses have such a fantastic 60s flair, I wish I could have a pair in every style. They remind me of vintage glasses you'd find at a flea market except these are shiny and new (and have your correct prescription too). Plus the fact that they're inspired by mid-century literature makes them even cooler. Below are some of my personal favorites from the new collection. I think the Holcomb glasses (#3) are particularly awesome and the Ellison shades (#5) are super spiffy. 1. Ripley in Oak Barrel | 2. Ames Sunglasses in Graphite Fog | 3. Holcomb in Marbled Sandstone | 4. Duckworth in Oak Barrel | 5. Ellison Sunglasses in Whiskey Tortoise I love seeing companies that break from the norm and Warby Parker definitely does that. Their unique retro styles are right up my alley. Who wants boring glasses anyway? They also have a home try-on program so you can try 5 diffe...

I'm always happy to see clothes dedicated to those of us on the shorter end of the spectrum. ASOS has a whole petite section for people 5'3" and under! One of these days I'll try out a pair of their jeans because I'm always interested in jeans that are cut for a short frame. But I basically want everything. There aren't enough stores that cater to short patrons, which is strange because so many of us are nowhere near model height. Anyway, here are my favorites from ASOS' petite line right now. (For you above-short people, quite a few of these are available in regular sizes too.)  Those red jeans are on sale for under $20. They're tempting me.... 1.  Denim Shirt in a Dark Vintage Wash   | 2.  Checkered Pinafore Dress  | 3.  High Waisted Red Skinny Jeans  | 4.  Contrast Striped Peter Pan Collar Top  | 5.  Black Overall Romper  | 6.  High Low Mini Skirt  | 7.  Green Penguin Print Skater Skirt  |...

We finally got out to the botanical gardens to take some pictures among the fall leaves. I think we missed some of the foliage, but there was still plenty to look at. Matt likes going to the gardens and walking the trails and I try to keep up as I take way too many pictures. He humored me this time by letting me take pictures of us together. I try to add to the small collection of decent pictures we have whenever I get a chance. Let's just say we're opposites when it comes to having pictures taken of us. Luckily a few turned out alright this time! Going through the pictures was pretty hilarious. We're making weird faces in most of them or talking to each other. This next one was me gracefully slipping when I had the bright idea of taking a picture with that fungus-covered log on the left there. Luckily Matt was there to help me so I didn't end up with a lovely picture of me on the ground. What I'm wearing in case you were wondering: |...
