Petite Panoply

Happy Monday everyone! This is an outfit I wore a couple weeks back. It's currently a little too warm for my jean jacket, but the weather people say it's supposed to cool down this week so we'll see. Anyway, the main story with this outfit is that I'm bringing the choker necklace back. Not really, but I tried. It wasn't a planned thing but I was feeling a slightly 90s vibe going on with my jean jacket that day so I figured I may as well add the choker. It was my mom's 90s choker so that's exciting. Chokers aren't technically the best choice for short people since they cut off the neckline, but my high-waisted shorts help to counter the shortening effect of the choker. Plus who says I always have to try to look tall? It's all an illusion on the blog anyway since putting me next to any reference items (or people) gives away my height! Maybe it's time you dug out a choker necklace from the depths of your jewelry...box / drawer / pile? jean ...

Happy Monday! Since there was Snowpocalypse 2014 in Atlanta last week, I decided to take advantage of the pretty snowy ground and take some pictures. It's very rare that my back yard has snow and it looks so pretty like that! The snow has already been gone for a couple days now, but here are the pictures I took the day after it snowed. Apparently this dress is my snow dress because I wore it in the snow in December in Illinois too. This time I layered my cropped blue sweater over it, added fishnet-ish tights, and a red hat and shoes. This black wool coat is from way back in the day and I'm surprised it still zips over my boobs. It just barely does! I'm pretty sure it's from 8th grade though, so...I have an excuse. dress: forever 21 | sweater: forever 21 | coat: old navy | tights: kmart? | shoes: minnetonka - delia's | hat: handmade - thrifted | scarf: came with a coat - sam's club Do you guys like my new red knit hat? I think it was $2. I found i...

This velvet skater skirt screams festive winter holiday times to me. It's still winter so it's still appropriate right? I just really like the texture velvet adds to an outfit.  I paired it with my checkerboard top, some heart print sweater tights, and my new red Minnetonka moccasins. Jeanie bought me these moccasins for Christmas and I love them. They're so bright and comfortable! Actually this entire outfit was pretty comfy. Velvet and sweater tights are both nice and warm!  top: boohoo | cardigan: so... - kohl's | skirt: romwe | tights: forever 21 | moccasins: minnetonka - delia's Obviously this is another outfit from when I was in Illinois. I have some outfits backlogged from that trip. The pictures are so nice and wintry though. I hope you guys have a good weekend! Happy Friday!

Happy Monday! I wore this outfit out last Wednesday for delicious fried food dinner at the fish place up the street. It's been pretty cool for spring in Georgia, so I'm enjoying getting some extra wear out of my sweaters. Unfortunately it'll be 80 degrees by this Wednesday.  These shorts are perhaps not the most flattering things in the world, but I assure you they look better with a less bulky top. Every outfit doesn't have to be super flattering though. Especially when it's impressive that I actually got dressed that day. I was exhausted from early Tuesday morning's red eye home from Spokane, so I slept a lot of the day. Oh well.  floral shorts: forever 21 | blue sweater: thrifted | tights: kmart | blue moccasins: old navy | belt: off of a modcoth dress | earrings: thrifted Pink and blue just look good together, am I right? I'm right. Happy birthday Mom! (P.S.: I linked this post up to Coffee and Cardigans' Thrifter Thu...

I like trying to wear my spring and summer dresses in a winter-appropriate manner. It had been a while since I wore my off white lace dress, so it was definitely time. I actually came up with this outfit while I was hanging up clothes in my closet. I had the dress out on the bed and the gray argyle cardigan ended up on top of the dress. There was a tiny flashbulb moment and an outfit was born! I wore this over the weekend while hanging out with my family. It's actually a pretty comfy outfit. Cardigans with dresses are usually the most comfortable clothes combinations for me. dress, cardigan: forever 21 | moccasins: old navy | belt: thrifted | tights: target kids' section I've had these moccasins since freshman year of college and they're still going strong. I didn't wear them all that much the past couple years, but I've been wearing them pretty frequently this winter. I just really like the color. Plus they add a nice touch of comfy co...

Happy Wednesday everyone! Spring semester has started so I'm back in Athens doing my thing. I can't say I'm particularly ready for the semester to start. Unlike a lot of other people, I kind of dread getting back in the swing of things. I'll work my way through though! I wore this outfit to class yesterday. It's the same exact outfit I wore for New Year's Eve minus the shoes. I wore my sparkly gold loafers before but I didn't get to take pictures. The blue plaid top worked really well underneath my little black dress, so I had to wear it again! dress: ross dress for less | tights: kmart | plaid top: rave | blue moccasins: old navy | bow: gift (I found one like it here ) This superhero bow is my new favorite accessory. My cousin gave it for me for Christmas and it's perfectly me. I'm sure I'll be trying to pair it with plenty of my outfits. It has convinced me that I need more bows of this size in my life. lip color: lush ...

Is it just me or are some of your favorite outfits ones you just throw together in the morning? I had no idea what to wear this day other than that I wanted to wear my plaid shirt. I was wearing just the shirt until the very last minute when I knew I really needed a butt covering if I was to go out in public. Somehow it all came together and this is definitely one of my favorites lately. sweater, shirt: target shorts: forever 21 shoes: old navy hat: h&m belt: old from Mom coat: delia*s  I wish I had worn something as awesome as this today, but I wasn't feeling anything other than jeans. My jeans were soaked through three classes in a row. It's been raining for days and I'm really ready for it to stop. Rainy Mondays are one of the worst things. Especially during winter. I'm going to drink some coffee and thaw out! Happy Monday!

I liked Jeanie's comfy casual outfit from yesterday. We looked like quite the contrast in outfits, but you'll get to see mine at a later date! I'm trying out a new, larger photo size to go along with my new layout too. What do you think? Should I stick with this or go back? sweater: thrifted jeans: forever 21 shoes: target hat: kohls The hat was a Christmas present and the shoes were a gift from me. They came from the slipper section, but who can tell? You can't go wrong with a jumping picture! P.S.: I finally entered the 2010's and got a Twitter. So feel free to follow me if you feel inclined to do so.

This one is from back at school earlier this month. I don't know why I didn't post it before, but here it is! I didn't know about the plaid shirt worn as a jacket. I thought it looked kind of sloppy after I took these pictures, but now I kind of like it! I always aim at looking somewhat put-together. Later that day I ended up buttoning and tucking in the plaid shirt. shirt: thrifted t-shirt, skirt, necklace, hair bow: forever 21 shoes: old navy I'm currently planning some posts for the next few days as I'll be leaving for Florida on Thursday morning. It's nearly bowl trip time! We'll be there for New Year's Eve and I'm excited, but of course I have to have a New Year's post scheduled! Happy Wednesday!
