Petite Panoply

When ASOS contacted me and asked me to style a work outfit, I was absolutely on board! I'm always interested in finding new, versatile work clothes since starting my real adult job early this year. I knew I'd be able to find some great pieces for work at ASOS , especially since they have a petite line .  I wish they had all the pieces here in their petite line, but the blouse was and I can tell you having a top made for short people is magical. The sleeves are the perfect length and, more importantly, the shirt hem ends well before the end of my butt. It makes a difference when you tuck your shirts in!  I picked out a pair of ankle grazer pants because they're cut shorter than regular ones. They still needed to be taken up a good inch or so though, which is why I have a rolled hem on the pair I'm wearing. Having my pants hemmed to a proper length is important to me because otherwise it feels like I'm a kid wearing adult clothes. It's always importan...

Remember my mustache dress I wore a few posts back? Well this is the same Walmart child dress with a different pattern! I think I'll get more wear out of this classic striped number than the mustache print one, but they were both so inexpensive it really doesn't matter. I can definitely see this dress worn a number of different ways - especially in cooler weather with tights and various layering items. Its first time out needed to have a nautical vibe though. Gold and navy blue always look great together. Plus I had new anchor earrings to wear. How would you wear a striped dress like this?  dress: faded glory - walmart | shoes: boohoo | belt: thrifted | anchor earrings: forever 21 | necklace: great grandma collection In other life news I began the process of moving Matt into my apartment over the weekend. That meant clearing out a lot of my clothes and taking them home. Sad times. Though there were things there that I haven't worn in a long time so I gues...

I tend to dress in clear holiday colors when those times roll around because I can get away with it. Since I have three Christmas events to attend this year I decided to branch out. I'm even thinking about wearing pink on Christmas day! As long as there's some sparkle or bows, it's Christmas-y in my book. I will, however, be wearing green for the Christmas Eve party tonight. I won't be wearing red with the green dress (even though that idea lingered in my mind for a few minutes).  I wore this outfit yesterday for a Christmas get-together at my grandparents' house. I thought the rich purple  sweater paired with the gold skirt was still pretty festive. I also got to wear my new cape! You might have seen my post about it on Instagram , but it was 50% off and I couldn't resist. It's so pretty! There's a lace bow and sequins. It's wonderful. cape: prabal gurung - target | gold bow skirt: forever 21 | purple cashmere sweater: ann taylor - thrift...

I'm not sure why, but I have a giant grin on my face in pretty much all of these pictures. Actually, it's probably because I was wearing my awesome new gold sparkly loafers. I just bought them yesterday, but they needed to be worn asap. For their debut I decided they should be paired with my favorite leopard print top and my trusty navy blue shorts. top, belt: thrifted | shorts, earrings: forever 21 | shoes: xhileration - target | hair bow: h&m Check out my sunglasses earrings. Jeanie bought them for me last Christmas. I'm also wearing my gold Urban Decay eyeliner. I may have gone a little overboard with the gold things today.  Hey look it's my face! Actually I was attempting to show my hair bow and side ponytail, but you can look at my sparkly shoe happiness too. I'm kind of mourning the summer already because I have to go back to Athens within the next couple weeks. I have grad school orientation really soon. I'm not ready! Bu...
