Petite Panoply

Happy Monday everyone! This outfit was a fun weekend look from a couple weeks ago. Matt and I hung out on the porch for a little while, enjoying the relatively mild warmth before Georgia turns into a fiery inferno. I miss wearing my short skater skirts during the work week so I've been taking advantage of them on the weekends. (I think I'd be able to wear some of them in the cool months with tights though! Looking forward to that.) This red skirt is so much fun and I couldn't believe I hadn't worn it with my polka dot button-down from H&M yet. Black, white, and red is always a good color combination in my book so I loved how this outfit turned out! top: h&m | skirt: sheinside | shoes: steve madden - shoe carnival |  headband: forever 21 | glasses: zenni optical I hope you all have a wonderful week to look forward to. I get to go to a digital marketing conference a couple days this week which will mix up my work day a bit. Then I'll be preparing ...

Happy Monday everyone! Here's an outfit I wore a couple weeks back on a particularly warm day. Spring has been very up and down temperature wise so I was completely comfortable in this skin-baring outfit. Matt and I took a walk up to the Smoothie King and wandered around town a little bit. So this is an outfit I actually went out and did something in. Hence the addition of my red PepaLoves bag and smoothie accessory. I'm sure I complained about the heat at some point, but it was a very pleasant afternoon walk. Plus I got to break out some very summery clothes even though I'll probably be ready to put them away once June hits.  I really like how these pictures turned out. (Thanks Matt!) We were on our way back home when I saw the purple-y flowers next to a nearby sidewalk. How much more "spring" can it get than a bunch of flowers as a background for pictures? top, skirt, headband, sunglasses: forever 21 | sandals: shoe carnival | bag: c/o pepaloves | ...

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's almost appalling how old this outfit is. Like, a month. Oh well. I really needed a hair cut when these pictures were taken too. Anyway, I wore my red Levi's with my checkerboard print top and some heels I found under my bed. I thought the mix of the floral print heels and the checkerboard print would be interesting. I remember why I hardly wear these shoes now though. They're about a 1/2 size too big for me. I'm pretty sure I got them for some ridiculous clearance price at Target a few years ago. Maybe I can put one of those squishy ankle protector things in there to make them fit better because they really are a cute pair of shoes... jeans: levi's - kohl's | top: boohoo | shoes: target | headband: forever 21 My mom's birthday was yesterday. Happy birthday Mom!  Have a great middle of your week!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Here's another outfit featuring the color green for you. I guess I'm on a green kick lately! I wore this outfit a couple weeks back on a pretty lazy day. The temperature here has been up and down so bare legs were just fine that day. I hadn't worn my 60's vintage sweater this winter yet, so I figured I better get on that since it just keeps getting warmer here. This skirt will be getting more wear in the upcoming months too. It's one of my favorite thrift finds because the colors in the pattern are so pretty. There's so much color in this outfit. I love it! You guys know I'm not afraid of color. At least the shoes were a neutral! They're new. I keep acquiring more and more shoes with nowhere to put them. It's a problem. Also how about this giant hair bow? I'm feeling it. And now I'm just rambling. I'll stop so you can look at the pictures. sweater, skirt: thrifted vintage | shoes: rack room shoes | head...

Happy Friday everyone! Here's an outfit I wore yesterday while running errands and going to the movies to see Frozen (which was great) .  This is a new dress I got from Oasap with some credits. I figured I could style a black lace dress in a ton of different ways. The sheer lace sleeves on this dress are my favorite. The lace actually feels sturdy, not like it'll rip at any moment. It's just a really cute dress. I may even wear it for Christmas! How would you style it for holiday times? I'd love to get some ideas from you! dress: c/o oasap | tights: target kids' section | shoes: boohoo | headband: forever 21 | belt: thrifted I can't believe it's already Friday. I'm done with my Christmas shopping after yesterday so it feels good to have that checked off my list. I actually enjoy Christmas shopping though. I have packing to do for our trip up north and Matt and I will be exchanging presents today. Actually my family opens essentia...

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Even though this dress isn't a 70s style, the colors are really 70s-tastic with the avocado green and gold going on. Those colors just seem really autumnal to me. I threw a thin cropped sweater over this dress for ultimate comfort and to make it more fall appropriate since the dress has an open back. I really like the way the cobalt blue plays off the colors in this dress too. This is definitely one of those outfits that required very little thought in the morning when I was running late for class. P.S. Sorry my brown flats are a little ratty now. They've served me well for a few years...Clearly. dress: modcloth | sweater: forever 21 | flats: xhileration - target | headband: forever 21 I plan on taking a small break from researching today so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm also incredibly pumped about the recent news that I'm going to see Neutral Milk Hotel tomorrow night! A classmate miraculously had an extra ticket....

Happy Friday everyone! I know this is kind of a spring-ish outfit, but I really enjoyed wearing it. For some reason I just love pairing blue and green together. I had earned some credits on Oasap and decided to use them on this cute green blouse . The color is so vibrant! I couldn't resist all the fun details on this top. (Though looking at the pictures now, I realize I probably should have ironed it before I wore it.) I really liked the way the polka dots in my skirt played off of the floral part of my new top. blouse: c/o oasap | skirt: forever 21 | oxfords: forever 21 | headband: 3rd grade | earrings: forever 21 I've been wearing a lot of skirt outfits lately but I promise I have more variety coming up soon. I guess I've just been in a separates mood recently!  I want to say thank you for always leaving such nice comments on my blog. You guys really are super sweet. I love when you guys say I look so happy in my posts because I really try t...

Well I think this outfit may be about as girly as it gets. Or at least it's close! This dress was a hand-me-down gift from a blog friend who doesn't blog anymore. I probably wouldn't have picked it out on my own, but I think it looks cute. It was only appropriate to add a gigantic bow on top of the cuteness. dress: modcloth | shoes: forever 21 | bow: euberah | earrings: great grandma collection | pin: thrifted Do you guys have anything fun planned for the weekend? I have a feeling I'll just be stressing out about the impending semester. There's so much to do before then. I have a hard time turning my brain off and actually relaxing.  Anyway, have a happy Friday!

Happy Monday everyone! I wore this black lace dress to class today and then out on my anniversary date with Matt. We don't really have a specific date for when we started dating, so we go out sometime in October after my birthday is over. So as of this month we've been dating for 5 years. That's a lot of years. I actually ditched the knee socks and put on a pair of nicer heels for dinner, but the socks kept me warm when it was cool this morning. dress, headband: forever 21 | socks, boots: target | necklace: romwe.com | belt: thrifted | earrings: from Matt Jeanie was taking these pictures so I had to make some goofy poses. Those are always the best ones though and I'm sure you don't mind. We went to The Last Resort and stuffed ourselves until we could hardly move and then came back to my place and napped because we're old people. It's love. But really, we only do this once a year and I look forward to the one night we don...
