Petite Panoply

Happy Wednesday everyone! Here's yet another super summery outfit straight from hot and humid Georgia. This striped blouse is a relatively new sale purchase from Modcloth. It's one of those pieces that I thought would look good with a ton of things. Unfortunately it only ended up pairing with most of my clothes in theory. I think part of the problem is that I own a lot of items with prints and not enough solids. That's my own fault though, not the fault of this shirt. For its debut I sucked it up and ironed my black linen shorts. Of course you can't tell I ironed them because I wore them for a couple hours before taking these pictures. Stupid wrinkly linen. top: modcloth | shorts: ralph lauren - thrifted from goodwill | sandals: shoe carnival I apologize for the lack of pictures. Most of this set turned out overexposed because of the partly cloudy crap that was going on outside. Also I rushed through them because it was starting to sprinkle. Many bloggers wou...

We finally got out to the botanical gardens to take some pictures among the fall leaves. I think we missed some of the foliage, but there was still plenty to look at. Matt likes going to the gardens and walking the trails and I try to keep up as I take way too many pictures. He humored me this time by letting me take pictures of us together. I try to add to the small collection of decent pictures we have whenever I get a chance. Let's just say we're opposites when it comes to having pictures taken of us. Luckily a few turned out alright this time! Going through the pictures was pretty hilarious. We're making weird faces in most of them or talking to each other. This next one was me gracefully slipping when I had the bright idea of taking a picture with that fungus-covered log on the left there. Luckily Matt was there to help me so I didn't end up with a lovely picture of me on the ground. What I'm wearing in case you were wondering: |...

Just a simple outfit for today! I was out being orientated about graduate school the past couple days and although I have my classes now, I'm not feeling particularly confident or knowledgeable about grad school. Let's just hope things turn out well once everything gets started! I wore my new red skirt because it's a modest length and is made of linen. And also because it's super cute. I walked all the way up to north campus after fixing my hair and makeup and looking all good, so I was looking pretty gross after that. I ended up throwing my hair up half-way through the day. Oh well! skirt, top, bow, earrings: forever 21 | shoes: ross dress for less | necklace: from Italy |  Mr. George says, "Haaaaaalp! Let me out too!" Be prepared for a funny picture. George looks like his head is perched on my shoulder. I was also looking at him being weird in the background in the camera screen so I look like I'm cross-eyed or something. Enjoy. Sorr...

Hello and happy August! Seriously, how is it August? I'm already mourning the summer and my epic laziness. I bought this shirt on clearance at Target the other day for $10. I've been wanting more blouses, so this definitely was a great find. The colors are so pretty and I love a good bow collar. All the bright colors brightened up the cloudy day. I paired my fantastic high-waisted linen shorts with my new blouse. These shorts were seriously one of my best thrift finds ever. top: merona - target | shorts - ralph lauren - goodwill | shoes: mossimo - target | belt: thrifted | headband: forever 21 | ring: great grandma collection It was disgustingly muggy outside when I took these pictures. Like, one of those days when it feels like you stepped into a sauna. Then the clouds decided to get all weird and throw off my white balance. Sad times. But the colorful shirt, patent leather, and sparkly headband were worth photographing!  Happy Wednesday!

I'm a couple days behind on pictures for whatever reason, so these are from Sunday. We went to a graduation party and the house was filled with awesome antiques, old pictures, and nick nacks. I had to snap a picture of the cool old singer sewing machine and mantel clock. I'm determined to have a mantel clock someday. Seriously. I love those things. shoes: bongo; kmart skirt: thrifted t-shirt: forever 21 sunglasses: 5 below necklace: vintage; great grandma collection bow: very old shoes: target skirt: forever 21 t-shirt: forever 21 necklace: forever 21 sunglasses: forever 21 Jeanie and I were once again asked if we're twins at the party.

Thanks for all the helpful comments about what I should do. On one hand I wan...
