Petite Panoply

This little light blue denim pinafore dress from Forever 21 has been in my wardrobe since 2011 when overalls and pinafores weren't all that popular. Now I see overalls all over the place, although I think they're still gaining momentum. I did buy this in the height of the "chambray" craze though. It's a nice, breezy material for the many warm weather months we have here in Georgia. Plus I think the little leafy print on it makes it just a little bit different from other pinafores I've seen.  As you can see, I pretty much have only worn it when it's hot outside, but I think I've done a decent job of styling it a bunch of different ways. One of my favorites is number 1, where I tucked in the top part to make it a denim skirt. I enjoy it best when I have some pattern mixing going on too, so number 2 is another personal favorite. It's just as easy to pair this type of piece with a simple black tank top though!  One | Two Three | Four Fiv...

I've had this chambray overall dress for quite a few years now, but finally had the straps taken up so I didn't have to safety pin them shorter anymore. I enjoy a good overall even if it can look a little twee. I usually get plenty of positive comments on this pinafore dress though so I guess I'm not too old to rock one.  This entire outfit takes me back to childhood because I'm pretty sure I wore a red shirt, overalls, and white shoes combination when I was a little kid. (I wish I could dig up the picture to compare.) It's a pretty solid combination if I do say so myself. So solid I wore it the other day and was very pleasantly surprised at how much I loved the outfit. What do you think? Would you/have you rocked overalls or pinafore-like things in your adulthood? top: thrifted | pinafore dress: forever 21 | shoes: boohoo On a non-outfit-related note: Can we talk for a minute about the oxford comma? I love the oxford comma. It just makes sense....

I did it. I broke out the blue NYX Macaron lipstick I bought last month and I actually think it worked! I tried my hardest to showcase a somewhat wearable look with blue lipstick. Bold lipstick is definitely another accessory in an outfit so I tried to keep the rest of the look relatively toned down. At least, toned down for me. One simple pattern, a solid top, and clear studded sandals. My main accessories were my awesome dinosaur bow and the crazy blue lipstick.  I hope this inspires some of you to step outside your makeup comfort zone, though I know blue lipstick isn't everyone's cup of tea. I did  only go water plants for a friend the day I wore this so the blue lips have yet to step into a store or anything. It'll happen soon.  pinafore: forever 21 | top: forever 21 | shoes: boohoo | bow: handmade | lipstick: nyx macaron in blue velvet I hope you're all having a fantastic week.

I wore this last week before I visited Virginia. I bought this pinafore last year and now they're "in" again, so that's good. I paired it with my black lace crop top and a pair of floral wedges that I don't wear often enough. There's also a tiny bit of an "arm party" going on. Aren't I so trendy? Yeah. pinafore dress: forever 21 | black lace top: h&m | wedges: ross dress for less | floral hair clip: forever 21 | pearl bracelet & earrings: gift | watch: great grandma collection | spiked bracelet: jigsaw london Bright purple-y lipstick! Thanks for the kind comments recently. I promise I'll get caught up on your blogs soon. This week threw life out of wack, but I'm hoping to get back to normal soon. It's a weird feeling to not want to do anything at all. I picked up my library books again yesterday and went out shopping too so that's a start. Have a great weekend!
