Petite Panoply

It's been a long time since I've been able to show you a Jeanie outfit. I don't get to see my sister as often now that I live in Atlanta but I assure you she still wears cool clothes. We spent the holidays together so I had to snap some pictures of this ultra fantastic outfit she wore. I feel like a look like this is very versatile. So versatile it was perfect for Christmas time dinner! Though it could even be worn in the summer time. Jeanie's leopard print boots are my new favorite and I wish I had a pair like them. I probably don't need  leopard print boots but oh well. They're awesome. Her romper also is really flattering with a sheer back and sheer sleeves. I'm a fan. I think I need to convince Jeanie to let me take pictures of her outfits more often, don't you? So did you guys have a good weekend? We did obligatory grocery shopping and dog food shopping on Saturday before relaxing the entire day yesterday along with watching the Super...

It's the new year! Before doing a roundup of 2015 I thought I'd show you what I wore on New Year's Eve yesterday while it's still slightly relevant. (Even though the holiday is over, I'm still looking forward to seeing what you all wore.) Again, I ask: why aren't sequins a-okay all year? Or at least through the rest of the winter months which kind of suck? I spotted this gold sparkly skirt at my last trip to Target and couldn't let it go. It was the last one left and in my size so I snatched it up! I already own a blue-green sequined skirt but it's okay to have two sequined skirts in one wardrobe, right? Just agree with me. I styled this incredibly sparkly skirt with a neutral color palate. Metallics and black always scream of New Year's Eve to me. For a little extra fun I added polka dot tights and a super cool beetle pin I thrifted. I also added a thin black turtleneck because it looks good with everything. top: boohoo | skirt:...

Happy holidays to you!! I've been a little absent due to traveling and Christmas shenanigans but I'm finally back to show you what I wore on Christmas 2015. You really can't go wrong with a nice green dress for the holidays so I was very happy when I opened this lace number on Christmas morning. My mom and sister know my style so well! Apparently they got a deal on it at H&M. I enjoy the sheer lace detailing and the neckline. Plus this dark green color contrasts perfectly with my hair. I made the dress even more holiday appropriate with some jeweled back seam tights that I wore during the holidays last year  and a pair of sparkly bow earrings. These dark gray leopard print heels are a new addition to my shoe collection. They were only $10 on clearance. Shoe win! I figured they'd add a fun subtle touch of pattern mixing to this look. So what did you wear for the holidays? I'll be checking out your looks soon but you can tell me all about it too. ...

It's still very much fall here in Georgia so I don't feel bad showing you another Halloween-inspired outfit. I wore this the day before Halloween so it's orange and black with festive ghost earrings. This could definitely be worn right now without the ghost earrings though! The whole look kind of made me feel a little bit witchy (in a good way), especially after I added the gray eye shadows and gray-taupe matte lipstick. I thrifted this black sleeveless mock turtleneck dress up in Illinois a couple months ago. It's kind of a stretchy ribbed material and very comfortable. I wasn't sure the length was going to work but I really like how it looks with these relatively modest height heels. The orange tights I'm wearing have been in my wardrobe for years and look nice with many more colors than just black. (Anybody else still pumped about being able to wear tights again? They make it so easy to remix pieces!) Finally, the ghost earrings are basically ancient....

Happy Halloween! You know I enjoy dressing in slightly themed clothes right around different holidays so here's one I wore to work this week. I don't get very many opportunities to wear my various Halloween earrings so I have to start with the Halloween-y outfits earlier than the day-of. This outfit featured my candy corn earrings, along with an orange silk blouse I thrifted recently layered underneath a sleeveless striped dress. I finished everything off with plain black tights and my cutout ankle boots. These boots always feel kind of witch-y to me so they're perfect for Halloween-inspired outfits. Do you wear outfits inspired by holidays too? I know some people find that really corny but I've always been a fan of holidays and how they're something fun to look forward to peppered among all the regular days of life. Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday too! dress: ross | top: thrifted | boots: boohoo | earrings: claire's Are you doing an...

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did! Valentine's Day was a ton of fun. We switched plans last minute because Matt thought going to one of the craft breweries closer in to Atlanta would be fun and I strongly agreed. We decided on Blue Tarp Brewery and headed out there to grab lunch at a noodle place and then hang out at the brewery together. After trying some new brews we wandered around the Korean area of town and tried a random Korean BBQ place. It was something different and delicious. Matt is a perfect partner for trying new foods! It was an entire day of fun and quite possibly the best Valentine's Day we've spent together so far. (And this was the 8th one! How has it been that long?) Anyway, this is what I wore on Valentine's Day. I didn't decide on my outfit until I got in the shower that day. I paired my leopard print dress from Boohoo with some bright red tights and my comfy clogs. I skipped the red lipstick this time. My makeu...

Valentine's Day is tomorrow but I'm sure there are quite a few of us still scrambling to come up with a festive look! I'm a fan of Valentine's Day because it's a welcome break in the post-holiday-time winter gloom. Even if you're not into the holiday, a cheerful look borrowing elements associated with Valentine's Day could brighten any day.  Here I put together some looks that could easily be worn on Valentine's Day. I included fancier and  casual outfits because sometimes you just want to stay in and gorge yourself on chocolate! (But you can still look cute while doing so!) I hope these ideas will help you come up with a Valentine's Day look you'll love. Just click the numbers under the pictures to see the full posts for each look. 1. Try wearing blue - Obviously I like to wear a lot of red, but Valentine's Day doesn't have to be strictly red and pink. A pretty blue dress can be a welcome change from the norm. (I actually wo...
