Petite Panoply

Have you ever put together an outfit and then taken a step back to bask in the glory of your color mixing skills? No? Well then never mind; neither do I.  I do have to admit I'm kind of in love with the color mixing going on in this look though. I picked up this cute anchor print top from a Modcloth sale a few weeks back. I couldn't resist the vibrant blue mixed with the anchor print. Although I'm not a huge fan of beaches, I do enjoy a good nautical-inspired clothing item. Instead of pairing it with the usual red, I went with this pink linen pencil skirt I thrifted many moons ago. I always wonder why I don't wear it all that often, but whenever I put it on again I'm reassured that it's a good thing I've held on to it for so long.  For accessories, I grabbed the mint green Brit-stitch bag Modcloth sent to me a month or so ago because the colors all play together so nicely. The white sunglasses were a Walmart clearance find years ago and the sand...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Apparently I can't stop wearing blue and red together. Sorry. I guess I'm just reflecting my new blog layout! But really. How can I not wear nautical colors? It's still super hot outside and summery so I guess I might as well embrace it as much as possible and wear all the nautical things. This sailboat print shirt is one of my favorite thrift finds ever. It almost always gets paired with a red skirt. top: liz claiborne petite collection - thrifted | skirt: forever 21 | shoes: forever 21 | sunglasses: kohl's | ring: great grandma collection Do you guys ever feel like you're working and working on tons of stuff but nothing ever gets done? That's how I feel about this blog. And school. And everything else. Maybe that's just being an adult. If so, I don't like it! I'm behind on everything! Thankfully I think I'm almost done with the blog revamp. So that'll be one thing I don't have to worry abou...

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...

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...
