Petite Panoply

Happy Wednesday everyone! There have been a few more pants outfits on here than usual. I've really been feeling my jeans lately though. I figured I should get some use out of them before it's too hot (even though it's unseasonably cold here right now)! Sometimes it's tough to make an interesting outfit with jeans so it's a fun challenge. I really liked how this one turned out. These high waisted Levi's were yet another wonderful deal. I found them at Macy's all by themselves, seemingly without a proper rack, for $20. I couldn't pass that up! This time I wore them with my checkerboard top (which has been getting a lot of wear these days) and a lime green cardigan from a costume I wore in Grease back in high school. Yep. It's from a Grease costume. I was Jan and I sang in a duet about mooning. Memories. top: boohoo | cardigan: from a Grease costume from high school - stein mart | jeans: levi's - macy's | shoes: x-appeal - rack room shoe...

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you like red jeans because I have a pair now and they're glorious! Mom spotted them at Kohl's and I had to buy them because they were on clearance for just under $10. They're Levi's too! Such a deal. They were exactly in my size which was definitely a sign from the denim gods and bargain gods (they often work together). For the first debut of these red Levi's on this blog, I paired them with a black and blue buffalo plaid top I've had for a while. I like that I can wear this top untucked since it actually ends at an appropriate point on my body and not below my crotch. Some people can pull off tunic length things, but it just does not do anything to elongate my body. Plus I did that whole silhouette when it was cool back in high school so I'm good. So the moral of this story is I want more shirts that are this length. I thought this was a really cool looking casual outfit because of the fun mix of color. Plus studded shoes ...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I wore this outfit last week when we had a very strange cool snap. It was actually cool enough outside to wear jeans so I was very excited to be able to wear my new Levi's. Here I am wearing my sailor top again too. I'm really interested in finding more ways to make jeans look non-boring once the weather cools down. Sometimes it's nice to mix it up and wear pants once in a while! Though I'm really looking forward to breaking out my tights! Can you tell I'm ready for fall already? jeans: levi's - macy's | top: forever 21 | flats: xhileration - target | belt: thrifted | bracelet: vintage I did some purple-y sunset-ish eye shadow that day too. Hooray for colorful eye shadow! I feel like outfits that are skinny on the bottom with more volume on top (like this) really emphasize my sort of boyish figure, but oh well. I won't let my lack of hips dictate what types of outfits I try out. I work with what I have. I...

Happy Monday! I can't believe another week is over already. This summer went by so quickly. Here's an outfit I wore on a day that wasn't a billion degrees outside. I really wanted to wear the Levi's I bought at Macy's a couple months back. They were such an amazing deal. There weren't any others like them around so I assume somebody bought them online, didn't like them, and returned them. I figured I might as well try them on so I'd know how a pair like this fit me even though they're a size larger than I'd usually buy. So I tried them and loved them and realized I didn't read the final markdown on the tag. They were only $20. Originally $70. Yeah. So the story ends with them coming home with me and now I have a cool pair of high-waisted dark wash Levi's jeans. jeans: levi's - macy's | top: forever 21 | shoes: merona - target | bow: euberah | belt: thrifted I officially have less than a week until I have to hea...

Well, it's definitely spring out there! My original outfit was too hot. As in, the tights I had on were too hot. Seriously. Also I look pretty good in some of these pictures, so that means I can have two versions of my outfit on here, right? I'm glad you agree. All I did was take off the tights and change my shoes. It's kind of crazy the difference it made in the outfits though. You can tell me which one you like better! shorts: thrifted levi's top, owl ring, sunglasses: forever 21 tights: Oasap.com boots: xhileration; target sandals: bongo; kmart other rings: old I can't believe it's too hot to wear tights already. I'm so sad you have no idea. I looked at the weather forecast and some days next week are supposed to have highs at almost 90 degrees. That's horrible. And that also means summer is going to be horrible. You know where I'll be? Inside in the air conditioning! I hope you all have a nice wee...

It's Friday and here's an outfit from last Friday! I wonder why I always end up posting my Friday outfits a week after they happen. I guess I just have a bit of a backlog in my outfit pictures. This is the day I did the headband curls thing I saw on Pinterest and I ended up waking up and looking like a crazy frizzy head when I brushed it out. By the time these pictures were taken it had calmed down a lot, though. P.S.: My master's program will be in Journalism and Mass Communications with a Telecommunications emphasis. Because I didn't tell you before and some of you inquired! top, earrings: thrifted shorts: levi's; thrifted jacket: talbot's; thrifted tights, shoes, necklace: forever 21 Crazy, messy hair: I went through my day planner today and realized I'm not going to have a free week until I graduate. That just depresses me because one of my favorite things ever is to lay around the apartment and be lazy by watching vario...

This is the sort of outfit I wear when I don't know what to wear. I like it, though. I enjoy styling band t-shirts. I also really love these new leopard print tights Jeanie bought me. shorts: levi's; thrifted tights: forever 21 shoes: xhileration; target t-shirt: american apparel cardigan: forever 21 I forgot to announce my Shabby Apple giveaway winner yesterday. Oops. I random number generated and the winner is Imogen from Tia Cherie . Congratulations! (Edit: I completely screwed up and didn't clarify that it was a US only giveaway so I had to redraw. I'd like to apologize profusely to Imogen. The US winner is Jessica from Waking, Believing, Running . Again, I'm ridiculously sorry. I feel like a poop head.) I'm watching Prophets of Doom on the history channel right now. They're talking about robots taking over the world when artificial brains get more intelligent than us. It's scary. The future scares me. Why do I watc...

Just a few pictures from the Music Midtown festival on Saturday. I went with my old high school friend and it was fantastic. We got there quite early, so the crowd was small. It got hugely crowded later on though! There was a glorious row of comfort zones. Seeing The Black Keys. It was fantastic! Coldplay as the headliner. We were so squished into the crowd and I could hardly see a thing, but I could hear it! There was a huge amount of standing too so I'm glad I wore my blue flats even though they got really dirty. All in all it was a great day. Let's hope Music Midtown comes back next year. It's cool having a music festival right here in Atlanta.

I'm a bit behind on outfit posts, so I wore this outfit a week ago: top: sirens shorts: thrifted levi's tights: target shoes: forever 21 necklace: forever 21 Last week was super busy for me, so there wasn't much blogging activity going on for me. This week should be better though. I had a fantastic weekend filled with The Lion King in 3D, Music Midtown, and hanging at home with the family. Happy Monday!

I'm finally back home! I'm kind of enjoying how I look like a 90's tourist in this outfit. I'm pretty sure this shirt is originally from some sort of island tourist shop. The buttons are wooden. Pretty cool. shirt: thrifted shorts: thrifted Levi cutoffs shoes: xhileration; target necklace: great grandma collection bracelet: i forget. (I was trying out another camera today and seeing how much background blur I could get with a low aperture number. I feel like this has a bit more depth than my other camera.) Gotta have some goofy pictures in front of the ivy. I'm glad to be home even though I have a few things to get done before I go back to school. Such as practicing for marching band time and setting up my cable so I'm not internet-less when I get there. Only two more weeks left to be lazy.

As promised, here's the second installment of our Shed Aquarium trip! It was quite an ominous-looking day outside. My shorts weren't quite warm enough for the weather. My favorite exhibit was "Jellies". It's a temporary exhibit so I'm glad I got to see it. You went down some stairs into a darkened hall where all kinds of jellyfish floated around in colorful tanks. They even had some serene mood music playing. I wouldn't want to touch a jellyfish, but I sure enjoyed looking at them. More after the jump!:
