Mint Sweater, Purple Velvet Skirt, & Polka Dot Tights

Image
It's another post in the Georgia snow! Don't worry about my coat-less outfit. It wasn't really that cold outside. Only my feet were frozen in these little silver flats. They're not very insulated! They're not really that comfortable either, but that's another story. I've had this purple velvet skirt for a long time now so I figured I'd try combining purple with mint green. The blue tones in the sweater come out a lot more in photographs, but I promise it's mint green.  This wasn't my favorite outfit ever, but it's something I wore so I'm posting it. It was plenty warm and comfy for my snow day. Plus I wanted to wear a sweater on my time off since I have uniform tops to wear to work right now which means my sweaters are getting neglected. sweater, skirt, tights: forever 21 (all different years) | shoes: xhileration - target | bow: handmade from my cousin | earrings: from Mom These tights sure have held up well! I've had...

Mint Green & Coral Orange with Corduroy Shorts

Image
Happy March! It's been a lot colder than that warm snap we had a week or so ago. That's Georgia for you. One week it's 70 degrees and the next it's 40. I'm very thankful for weather.com.  Anyway, I decided to incorporate some spring colors into a cool-weather outfit. The coral orange shirt and mint sweater really worked in an unexpected way. I broke out a fun orange lipstick too! corduroy shorts, mint green sweater, coral orange top: forever 21 (various years/seasons) | studded flats: c/o sway chic | tights: kmart | flower head band: giveaway win from lovely miss megan Can you guys believe it's March already? Spring break is so close! I may not be doing anything in particular, but at least I'll be able to rest my brain. This week ahead won't be the most fun though. I'm sure a lot of you are in the same mid-semester boat. Happy Friday!

Vintage Shopping and a Black & Mint Outfit

Image
On Monday Jeanie and I headed downtown to spend some of our joint Starbucks giftcard, but ended up taking a detour and stopping at a vintage store I'd been wanting to check out for a while. Athens has a bunch of great thrift shops, but I rarely take advantage of them. It's hard to find a time for both Jeanie and I to be free during the daytime and I don't really have anybody else to go with. Thrifting is way more fun with a companion, I think! I didn't end up getting anything, but Minx Vintage was so cute I'll definitely be going back. I'm currently kicking myself for not buying the 60's floral sundress I saw there. Next time I'll remember the 1/2 off coupon that's sitting on my end table. And...outfit intermission. I wasn't too impressed with this one. It's one of those times where I threw clothes on and it was a fail. I've had this skirt since freshman year of college and I used to love it, but now I look at it and it doesn...

Sweater & Leather Jacket Time!

Image
It got cold in Georgia today! All this hurricane business means we're actually getting some cool fall weather. That means I got to pull out my bag of sweaters and long sleeved shirts and all that cold-weather goodness. I just bought this mint colored sweater from Forever 21 last week and I figured I'd pair the light green color with my dark green polka dot Romwe dress. With the jacket I was warm enough to survive the cold trek to class. dress: romwe.com | sweater, shoes, earrings: forever 21 | jacket: ashley by twenty six international - ross | tights: target kids' section | leopard flower hair clip: ?  It's going to be a unique week. And by unique I mean I'll be sitting in my apartment calling people to survey them and working on a paper. Isn't my life exciting? I bet you wish you were doing exactly what I'm doing. Oh wait, you mean it sounds incredibly boring? Yes. You would be correct. Boring and stressful all at the same time. ...

Doing the Red & Mint Thing

Image
It was about time I tried out the red and mint color combination I've been admiring on other bloggers. This was just a casual outfit for hanging around Athens all day. It ended up kind of crazy for what could have been a simple shorts outfit, but oh well! What can I say? I like color! Matt actually took these pictures for me while I directed. As you can see, the stone wall at my apartment has returned! I know you're overjoyed by the sight! shorts, cardigan, earrings: forever 21 | top: charlotte russe | shoes: self esteem - shoe carnival | nail polish: china glaze - secret peri-wink-le I made a to-do list for today and tomorrow. It's quite extensive, but the tasks are mostly small things. It's been hard getting things done because Matt and Jeanie keep coming and going from my apartment. I just need a day alone to get things done! Maybe it'll happen tomorrow? I usually get more things done late at night anyway, so I can only hope that's what...
