Petite Panoply

Happy Monday everyone! An all black outfit is a little different than the norm for me, but when I do it I tend to mix a bunch of textures or patterns to make it interesting. This time I did both! I just love the way different textures make an outfit interesting even without adding color. This vintage faux fur scarf was a Christmas present this year and I really like how it looks with my leather jacket. Plus leather and lace always look good together. Every piece here combined to create my ultimate all-black outfit! Do you ever wear an entirely black outfit? How do you make it interesting? dress: oasap | jacket: ashley by twenty-six international - ross | tights: kmart | boots: boohoo | scarf: charter club - thrifted | glasses: zenni optical This little black lace dress isn't worn nearly enough. I tend to shy away from it in the summer because it has long sleeves and I live in sweltering Georgia. (You can see the pretty lace sleeves in this previous post though!) How sho...

Happy Monday everyone! I figured I'd post a holiday outfit since Christmas Eve is tomorrow and some of you may need some outfit inspiration (or maybe you just feel like seeing festive outfits around this time of the year, like me). I had a Christmas get-together to go to at my grandparents' so this was a real holiday outfit! This may be my new favorite outfit and it's mostly due to this awesome vintage leopard print coat. Just wait. I'll be walking around in this thing when I'm 80 and I'll be the coolest ever. It's actually a family heirloom now, I suppose. It was one of my great grandma's and now I get to wear it! It's the best thing ever. For the blog debut of this coat, I paired it with a black lace dress and some bright red tights. The two prints here somehow work together and red is always a great color to incorporate into a holiday look.  I hope you enjoy these snowy pictures! coat: vintage | dress: forever 21 | tights: kmart | bo...

I liked Jeanie's comfy casual outfit from yesterday. We looked like quite the contrast in outfits, but you'll get to see mine at a later date! I'm trying out a new, larger photo size to go along with my new layout too. What do you think? Should I stick with this or go back? sweater: thrifted jeans: forever 21 shoes: target hat: kohls The hat was a Christmas present and the shoes were a gift from me. They came from the slipper section, but who can tell? You can't go wrong with a jumping picture! P.S.: I finally entered the 2010's and got a Twitter. So feel free to follow me if you feel inclined to do so.

Jeanie's graduation party was on Saturday and it was a big success! We had Mexican food and mini pies so we were making all the stuff for a couple days before the party. The tamales we made turned out so tasty too. I think those should be on the menu again some time now that we know how to make them. That is a home made ice cream cake and some chocolate cream mini-pies. Jeanie posing in front of her food. The more I looked at my pictures from that day, the more I thought about how my camera is a piece of crap now. It refuses to take decent indoor pictures. I'm quite sad about it, but it's almost time to get a new one. One that actually focuses when I tell it to or lets me manually focus. That'd be nice. Meanwhile, yesterday we went to my grandparents' house for dinner and whatnot. Somehow we got talking about old clothes and hats and stuff; my grandma brought out this vintage faux fur leopard print number. It was her mom's hat and co...
