Petite Panoply

I must be on a colorful skater skirt kick lately, so I apologize, but here's another outfit featuring one I've had for quite a while but don't wear nearly enough. In my previous outfit post I styled a colorful skater skirt for work , so here's an outfit I definitely wouldn't wear to work featuring a short skirt and crop top combination. It's perfect for these hot days we're still having in Georgia. The true star of this outfit is my awesome cat Leela pin from Danielle V Green Illustrations. She has a whole Halloween cat line with cats dressed as various characters. I love them so much. I bought two others that you'll see here at some point too - cat Ariel and cat Scully. I keep wearing them to work. I don't even care if people start thinking I'm weird. I like my cat pins to be dressed as my favorite pop culture characters!  Anyway, I played off the Leela pin and wore some purple socks (to match her hair.) I also enjoyed the combinati...

This was one of those "fall" outfits I put together before the weather actually started to cool down. Luckily we're looking at nice cool temperatures this weekend and next week, but before that I had to go with bare arms and legs with fall colors and boots. I wore this walking around the Old Fourth Ward Fall Festival last month so I had to stay cool outside while wrangling an energetic puppy. I've worn this top and skirt together before but never photographed it. Something about black and maroon just works perfectly. I paired my polka dot top and trusty maroon skirt with some cutout ankle boots from Boohoo (which are still a favorite of mine due to their comfort and super cool-ness) and a crystal necklace I won from a giveaway years ago and therefore can't remember where it was actually from. Sorry! You get some bonus cute pictures of Riker in this post too. He's 5 1/2 months old now and weighs in at 40lbs. Maybe I'll get to a Riker update post...

Happy Monday everyone! This outfit was a fun weekend look from a couple weeks ago. Matt and I hung out on the porch for a little while, enjoying the relatively mild warmth before Georgia turns into a fiery inferno. I miss wearing my short skater skirts during the work week so I've been taking advantage of them on the weekends. (I think I'd be able to wear some of them in the cool months with tights though! Looking forward to that.) This red skirt is so much fun and I couldn't believe I hadn't worn it with my polka dot button-down from H&M yet. Black, white, and red is always a good color combination in my book so I loved how this outfit turned out! top: h&m | skirt: sheinside | shoes: steve madden - shoe carnival |  headband: forever 21 | glasses: zenni optical I hope you all have a wonderful week to look forward to. I get to go to a digital marketing conference a couple days this week which will mix up my work day a bit. Then I'll be preparing ...

Happy Monday everyone! It's a new week, summer is officially over, and here I am pretending it feels like fall. I just really wanted to wear jeans! This outfit was comfortable enough for a few minutes out in the heat though. My upper stomach could feel the fresh air so I guess that was my air conditioning. Do you guys like my new hat? I ordered it during a Nasty Gal sale. I figured it's black so I can get away with wearing it in the cooler months but it's straw so it'll be fine to wear in the heat too! Win win! I really love wearing hats but I forget to wear them. I have a decent amount of them too. It's a shame to let them sit there unworn so I've been trying to plan outfits around them. jeans: boohoo | top: forever 21 | cardigan: target | wedges: y not? - shoe carnival | necklace - dragon con | hat: nasty gal I feel like I always talk about the weekend on here, but oh well.

You don't have to be a genius to figure out it's still super summery here in Georgia. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to wear more layers, but I tried hard to embrace the heat by wearing this outfit. I realized I hadn't featured my polka dot matching set without a cardigan yet, so I here it is! This is one of my absolute favorite purchases from Forever 21. It's so breezy and comfortable in this humid weather. This time I wore my cute straw hat with it and a pair of floral wedges I don't wear often enough.  matching set: forever 21 | shoes: ross dress for less | necklace: avon - great grandma collection | hat: h&m So have you guys had a good week so far? The weekend is around the corner! Though weekends generally aren't much different than weekdays for me. I spend a lot of time researching every single day.

Happy Monday everyone! This is the last set of pictures from Las Vegas I'll be showing you! I didn't get pictures of every outfit I wore, but I have some of this one since just Matt and I were walking up and down the strip and he isn't annoyed when we stop to take pictures. We found a perfect spot on a walking bridge to get some pictures before heading back toward The Flamingo. You may notice my delightful beer accessory in these pictures too. We were having fun at MGM playing a Batman and Joker slot machine before stopping at an outdoor sidewalk bar and picking up a couple IPAs. I can't explain how cool and weird it was to legally walk down the sidewalk with a beer in my hand. top: forever 21 | skirt: sheinside | cardigan: kohl's | sandals: boohoo | bag: pepaloves | hair bow: h&m Matt noticed a couple women giving me the stink eye while wearing this outfit. I made sure to be conscious of my butt being covered in this flippy little skirt, so I'm...

Happy Friday everyone! I won't lie. These pictures may have the best lighting of any outfit pictures I've ever taken and that makes me very happy. Dealing with the mosquitoes and heat was worth it. So I may need to trek over there in the future. I think the golden hour lighting really compliments my sheer galaxy print skirt. I know this skirt is "so last year" but I still like it. The print is very cool! I like trying different pattern combinations with it. Last year I paired my leopard print crop top with it but this time I went with polka dots. There's a dotty thing going on in the skirt's pattern so somehow it works. Polka dots kind of go with everything though! skirt: romwe | top: forever 21 | wedges: shoe carnival | necklace: sheinside I made another outfit video to go along with this outfit since I was really feeling this look.

Happy Monday everyone! Here's an outfit I wore a couple weeks back on a particularly warm day. Spring has been very up and down temperature wise so I was completely comfortable in this skin-baring outfit. Matt and I took a walk up to the Smoothie King and wandered around town a little bit. So this is an outfit I actually went out and did something in. Hence the addition of my red PepaLoves bag and smoothie accessory. I'm sure I complained about the heat at some point, but it was a very pleasant afternoon walk. Plus I got to break out some very summery clothes even though I'll probably be ready to put them away once June hits.  I really like how these pictures turned out. (Thanks Matt!) We were on our way back home when I saw the purple-y flowers next to a nearby sidewalk. How much more "spring" can it get than a bunch of flowers as a background for pictures? top, skirt, headband, sunglasses: forever 21 | sandals: shoe carnival | bag: c/o pepaloves | ...

I wore this delightfully red and black outfit on Valentine's weekend. I guess I was in a red and black mood because that was basically everything I packed. It's not a bad thing though. That color combination is classic plus it's my school's colors. You have to admit that red and black is a great combination for school colors. Definitely more wearable than orange and blue or purple and yellow... Anyway, this was just a casual outfit for wearing around Athens that weekend. I get a lot of use out of this polka dot blouse I thrifted a few years back. I like how it looks paired with red so that's exactly what I did. Then I added some thrifted black cut-offs (that are slightly too tight around the waist for ultimate comfort), black heart sweater tights, & my studded black loafers. cardigan: forever 21 | top: thrifted | shorts: thrifted | tights: forever 21 | loafers: xappeal - rack room shoes | ring: forever 21 I spent a nice weekend with Matt but then...
