Petite Panoply

Happy Friday everyone! Finally, here are some photos from our spring trip to the botanical garden in Athens, Georgia . They're the outfit-tastic pictures so I have others to share later. It was such a nice day. Matt and I wandered through the nature trail and sat by a stream for a little while. I packed an apple snack and we relaxed. We found the Oconee river deeper into the trail too. It was nice to actually see sunlight and be outdoors. I hardly see daylight working the schedule I work!  I had to wear something cute enough for pictures but also practical enough to wander through the nature trail. These sandals are really comfortable and are stable enough with their ankle strap. I went with a double blue color scheme with my blue button-down and a navy blue polka dot skirt. It's kind of a simple outfit, but I really liked it. It's definitely a spring look! top: new york & co. | skirt: forever 21 | sandals: rocket dog - shoe carnival | sunglasses: forever 21 ...

This is the kind of outfit you're most likely to see me sporting around campus this time of year. Especially when I don't have time to think about an elaborately put-together outfit! You really can't go wrong with a comfy dress and flats. This dress is the one I recently found in the kids' section at Target (for $17). You can see Jeanie's deer print version in this post . I really love the cute little bow print on this one. It'll go with all kinds of different tights when the weather cools down too. I'm pretty pumped about it! dress: cherokee - target | sandals: ross dress for less? | bracelet: gift | sunglasses: dollar tree | earrings: forever 21 Here's a nice picture where Matt made me look like a giant! Pretty glorious isn't it? Oh and did I mention this dress has a cute little cutout in the back. Breezy, yet covers the bra zone! I've already started to wish it was fall and broke out a pumpkin beer last week. In Aug...

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!

It's Friday! I wore this colorful floral skirt and blue 50s sweater to class yesterday. I'd brought this outfit home over spring break with every intention of wearing it, but that never happened because it was pretty cool outside that week. I figured yesterday was the perfect day to wear it since it wasn't too hot for the knit top yet.  I don't get a ton of use out of this sweater because it's rarely a moderate temperature in Georgia, but it's still a great piece to have in my closet. I won it on a Paraders Vintage giveaway a year or so ago. You can't beat this pretty sky blue color! vintage sweater: baar & beards - paraders vintage | skirt: homemade by mom | shoes: self esteem - shoe carnival | necklace - gift Jeanie and I were going to learn a bit of sewing from Mom a couple summers back, but that didn't end up happening so Mom just made the skirts for us. That means the execution was about 1000x better than anything I could ...

Happy Friday everyone! This wasn't taken today, but I find it appropriate because I'm happy the weekend is here! dress: xhileration; target jacket: talbots; thrifted tights: kmart shoes: forever 21 necklace: pearls? flower hair clip: forever 21 Well the week is finally over. Sort of. I have another football game to attend tomorrow, so my weekend will really start after that ends! I'm getting more and more excited because my 21st birthday is exactly two weeks from today. I have a countdown going on. The other day I picked up a skirt from Forever 21 to wear on my birthday, but I need to figure out how to style it. Perhaps you guys can help me? It's this black tulle skirt . It hits me above my knees and it's quite voluminous so I'm not sure what sort of top to pair with it. My leopard print blouse comes to mind, but I haven't tried them on together yet. Any ideas are welcome!
