Petite Panoply

Good morning! Today I'm pleased to introduce you to fantastic local Atlanta business, Cameoko , which is a line of handmade resin jewelry. Camille reached out to me after finding my pictures on Instagram and asked if I would be interested in trying out and styling some of her jewelry. I'm so glad she found me because now I know about this gorgeousness! (I already told Matt I want more Cameoko jewelry if he decides I need a pretty present sometime. Too bad my birthday is all the way in October.) I love how unique, yet versatile Camille's pieces are. They can be worn on super casual days or when you want to be fancy. You can tell she puts a lot of care into her work with the quality of the jewelry too. I don't have to be worried about anything breaking and the materials are high-quality and don't irritate my ears. Seriously, the surgical steel backs are wonderful. Not to mention Cameoko jewelry is affordable! Always a huge plus!  Pictured: (top) turquoise...

Happy happy Monday! Well, it might not be that happy but we can pretend. I wore this polka dot shift dress to work over a month ago and am just now getting to posting it. This is a dress I've had since high school and it's still around. I think it was one of my fancier pieces back in the days of low rise skinny jeans and graphic t-shirts, and it happened to stick around all these years. It is a classic piece, after all (and it does make me happy that I'm the same size I was in high school.) My little polka dot dress turned out to be a great work piece paired with a colorful cardigan and some cute shoes. I added a statement necklace Happiness Boutique sent me over the summer for some extra interest.  dress: forever 21 | cardigan: delia's | shoes: steve madden - shoe carnival | necklace: c/o happiness boutique Over the weekend I mostly caught up with all of your blogs and it made me so happy. I've been behind most of the year and especially since we got ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Usually I have an outfit with something green ready to schedule for the occasion, but not this year. This is actually what I'm wearing today! Luckily I had time to get outside and take some pictures of it. I'm pretty sure this green dress is the perfect piece to wear for Saint Pat's. I added shamrock earrings (that you can't really see) and a shamrock hair clip to make everything more festive. You'll probably notice that I'm rocking my glasses again. My eye issue apparently never cleared up. Almost all of my pictures had glasses glare. How does one take pictures in glasses without that problem? Yet another reason why I prefer my contacts!  Anyway, I hope you're having a good St. Patrick's Day! We celebrated over the weekend but we've continued the celebration into today. I'm looking forward to Guinness stew pies tonight and perhaps a pint of Guinness itself. Yum! dress: romwe | shoes: xappeal - rack room sho...

Happy Wednesday everyone! This is what I wore for my graduation party last Friday. You know, the one where I had no speech whatsoever. At least I could still smile and gesture! I grabbed some mini balloons to pose with to make this outfit even more graduation-tastic. This whole look is definitely UGA inspired with the red and black color scheme. I'm always glad my school colors aren't obnoxious! dress: forever 21 | cardigan: so... - kohl's | shoes: comfort plus - payless | belt: thrifted  Now that all my graduation celebrating is over I guess it's time to move on to the next thing. I'm unsure what that will be though. I feel like I have so much crap to get together before epic job hunting can begin. I figure I can take the rest of the month to catch up on things I've neglected this past year. Transitions are hard! Working will be much better than grad school though, I can assure you. I'm so happy to be done. Have a great middle of your wee...

Happy Friday everyone! It's time for another very spring appropriate outfit. I wore this on Matt's birthday (and then I wore it with a different cardigan to work the next day). I really enjoy how perfectly my cardigan and new wedges match so it was only appropriate to wear them together in at least one outfit post. It's such a pretty shade of blue for spring too! These shoes are yet another new pair, but I bought them a couple months back when it was too cold to wear them. I'm sure I'll be getting plenty of use out of them over the next few months though. dress: forever 21 | cardigan: new york & co. | shoes: rack room shoes | pin: vintage from Great Grandma | belt: vintage from Grandma but was in Dad's closet for some reason You guys. My hair looks so good in these pictures compared to right now. I have the often enviable problem of very fast-growing hair. It's grown out a bunch since my last trim about three weeks ago. Too many hairs! Luck...

Somebody told me I look like a Disney princess when I wore this outfit so that makes it a winner in my book. I thought it was about time I layered a blouse underneath this polka dot dress and here is the result. This purple top probably should have been ironed, but I love the pop of color it added to this outfit. top: thrifted | dress: forever 21 | shoes: croft & barrow - kohl's | bow: forever 21 I also have some double polka dots going on in this outfit. Why not? Somehow I can't stop myself from wearing this bow with every polka dotted thing I own. I'll leave you with a picture of me gracefully tripping. These pictures were taken last Monday after my awful super busy weekend, so I was really tired. That's my excuse. This picture is extra appropriate today because I spent all weekend studying for a midterm and I'm pretty sure this will be how I arrive back at my apartment after it's done. Happy Monday everyone!

I wore this sailor-y and dotty outfit last week. I thought I may have been giving off a little bit of a 90s Sunday school teacher vibe, but I got a lot of random positive comments on this outfit. I like it even more now that I've seen the pictures. This sailor top has been sitting in my drawer all summer and hasn't been in an outfit post yet. If you want to give me more ideas on how to wear it, I'm open for suggestions. You guys probably know my wardrobe pretty well by now! I think it looked really great with this polka dot dress though! dress: romwe | top: forever 21 | shoes: bongo - kmart | sunglasses: dollar tree | bracelet: vintage hand-me-down Yesterday was Jeanie's 20th birthday so Happy Birthday Jeanie!! It needed to be said on the blog! Thank you for taking these pictures for me homegirl. Do you guys ever have weeks that just suck for no real reason? I've been in a funk all week. I know I always try to be positive and cheerful o...

How is it Friday already? This week went by entirely too fast. I wore this polka dot dress on Sunday to hang out with some family friends. These fantastically yellow wedges are a recent Target purchase. I swear I always find the best shoes at Target. Mom spotted this pair for me though. They were on clearance for $7 so I had to buy them even though I have about a billion pairs of shoes. They were the only ones left and just happened to be my size. My justification is that I didn't have any yellow shoes yet. Can you ever really have too many shoes? Yeah I'm probably getting to that point... dress: forever 21 | wedges: merona - target | bow: forever 21 | earrings: an old gift perhaps? Did I mention how much I love this dress? I really need to wear it more often. It's definitely coming with me to visit Illinois next month.  Have a great Friday!
