Petite Panoply

Happy New Year! Usually I have a roundup outfit post to start the new year but with busy holiday traveling that may have to wait until later. Since our trip to Europe was by far the highlight of 2016, I figured I'd show you another outfit I wore over there. This is what I wore on our first full day of exploring Prague. The pictures we took on Charles Bridge at dawn are some of my absolute favorite from the whole trip. It was amazingly crowd-free being there that early in the morning!  At this point in the trip my faux leather jacket wasn't quite cutting it with the cool weather and this day was especially windy up at the castle! Other than that I was pretty pleased with the pieces I picked to bring with and was able to remix them in a lot of different ways so I wasn't wearing the same outfit for 2.5 weeks. This look was a favorite of mine with the green button down corduroy skirt, leopard print flats from Target, and red dog print scarf. jacket: ashley by twe...

I wear this skirt a lot.  It's the perfect skater skirt length, a slightly heavy material so it doesn't blow up in the wind too easily, and an extremely versatile maroon color. I styled it in my last outfit post too, but I hope you don't mind!  I spent a good amount of the weekend sorting through and editing my pictures from my trip to Europe and picked out a few of this outfit I wore in Bruges. I loved the way the blue tights and maroon skirt photographed together, especially when paired with my leopard print flats from Target! I topped everything off with my faux leather jacket which is on top of a gray mock turtleneck shirt that you can barely see here. It was too cold to walk around jacket-less! My Jo Totes bag here, the Abby model in black, was purchased new for the trip and was the absolute perfect size for traveling Europe. I needed something not too big to be burdensome while wandering around but that could still fit the essentials. I fit my camera ...

Hey! It's me again. I still exist. This is the longest I've gone without blogging since I started this blog in 2011, but I'm going to give myself an excuse since I was out of the country for more than two weeks. It's been very hard for me to find time to blog after work with my commute too and unfortunately that probably won't change for a bit longer. I'm back to share a warm weather fall outfit with you though! Before heading off to Europe, I decided to treat it like back to school wardrobe shopping and pick up a few new things that would be easily remixable. I found this dark green corduroy skirt and gray mock turtleneck top at H&M and wore them each multiple times throughout the trip. They're just good basic pieces to have in general. This is a look I put together the week before I left which included some fun accessories to spice it up - my gray leopard print heels and a Cat Scully pin by Danielle V Green .  top, skirt: h&m | shoes: so...

Long time no blog! I didn't realize it had been so long but life has been busy, including my weekends with Dragon Con last week and working on a new hairdo this weekend - more on that later. So it's definitely time to show you a new outfit and what better than to show you some new shoes?  These leopard print flats are from Target and you may still be able to find them. They also come in black. I love that they zip up the back so I don't have to fasten three buckles and so far they're really comfy. Definitely contenders in my "what shoes do I bring to Europe?" quandary. They go with pretty much everything too. This time I paired them with a new purple skater skirt from Boohoo. I enjoy wearing all colors, but don't have nearly enough purple in my wardrobe so I thought it was a good addition. Plus it's long enough to be work appropriate. The black top is very old from Forever 21. Like early college old. I still like it. top: forever 21 | sk...

Good morning! Today I'm pleased to introduce you to fantastic local Atlanta business, Cameoko , which is a line of handmade resin jewelry. Camille reached out to me after finding my pictures on Instagram and asked if I would be interested in trying out and styling some of her jewelry. I'm so glad she found me because now I know about this gorgeousness! (I already told Matt I want more Cameoko jewelry if he decides I need a pretty present sometime. Too bad my birthday is all the way in October.) I love how unique, yet versatile Camille's pieces are. They can be worn on super casual days or when you want to be fancy. You can tell she puts a lot of care into her work with the quality of the jewelry too. I don't have to be worried about anything breaking and the materials are high-quality and don't irritate my ears. Seriously, the surgical steel backs are wonderful. Not to mention Cameoko jewelry is affordable! Always a huge plus!  Pictured: (top) turquoise...

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...

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. ...

I have quite a few pieces of clothing I've held onto for years because they're relatively classic - and I still like them. This dress is one of those pieces. It must be at least seven years old now but I still enjoy the red plaid and shirt dress style. It's comfortable and versatile. You probably have clothes like this too! Recently I wore my red plaid dress on a weekend walk down the Atlanta BeltLine with Matt and Riker. I added a pair of blue tights and some leopard print flats for a touch of pattern mixing. It was slightly too warm for my brown leather jacket at the time but I wore it anyway. I liked how the warm brown looked with the red dress. I hope you enjoy these pictures with Riker because he was not having it. He just wanted to run around and eat sticks. He's very much a puppy and a troublemaker.  dress: target | jacket: c/o asos | tights: forever 21 | flats: delia's | earrings: thrifted So do you have any fun plans for the weekend? I...
