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...

If you've been around here a while you know I enjoy styling my graphic t-shirts and giving them life outside of the usual jeans + t-shirt routine. A particular favorite combination is a short skirt and a t-shirt. This time I styled my teal The Good Life shirt with a full polka dot pleated skirt. I wore this on the weekend and really wanted to  wear something that would match with my new Colourpop eye shadow in Mermaid Kiss which is a bright lime green shade, so I figured blue tones would work. Then I added my extra tall silver platforms from Forever 21 because why not?  I've been experimenting with different makeup looks lately, especially during the weekends. A lot of my clothes are in storage since the whole townhouse falling through debacle, but I have most of my makeup with me still. It gives me an opportunity to still be creative with my looks even if I have to rewear outfits a bunch of times. Since Instagram started their stories I've been trying to share more...

Happy Saturday to you! You know I enjoy a good thrift find and I finally got out to Goodwill a couple weekends ago to sift through their treasures. This romper was one of my finds. It was a little confusing to the cashier since she wasn't sure whether to charge it as shorts or a dress. (Spoiler: It ended up being charged as shorts.) Did I need another romper? Probably not, but I figured it'd be nice for these scorching, humid days we've been having here in Georgia. Plus the ruffles on it conveniently mean I can wear it without a strapless bra and nobody can see my nips. Romper win! I wore this on a walk with Riker where I also played Pokemon Go - because I'm an adult. Note the comfy walking shoes I got from Rue 21 - which I hadn't been in in many many years until recently. They were definitely a good choice for our walk, which turned out to be super long. Riker almost didn't make it home because the sun came out half way through our walk and made it feel...

It's finally the weekend and I'm excited to show you an outfit I've actually been rewearing pretty often the past couple of months. I'm a big fan of pairing primary colors together - maybe because they look good with my hair - so this has been one of my new favorite outfits. I picked the mustard yellow top up on clearance at target for about $12 and it's so perfect. This shade of yellow looks good with so many other colors and it'll work year round. I styled it with the navy blue polka dot skirt from a matching set and a pair of simple red pointed flats. This whole outfit is very me. Plenty of color, polka dots, lace, pointed flats... top: target | skirt, flats: forever 21 I apologize for the short break in posting. Life has been ridiculous. If you follow me on Snapchat (via JahmieRose) you may have seen the fiasco that has been my life this past week. Here's my story of woe if you're at all interested.  If not, feel free to move along:  ...

Happy Wednesday to you! I'm happy to share another work outfit with you. I guess it's not traditional work wear but I wore it to the office. We have a pretty casual dress code. This purple top was a thrift find from a long while back. It has a kind of 70s feel to it and I love the color. The little neck tie absolutely has to be tied in a knot or it comes undone about 10,000 times a day though. I paired my purple blouse with more cool tones with my navy blue polka dot skirt and a pair of bright silver oxfords. My socks matched my top a little bit and that's a-okay with me! How has your week been going? Mine could be better but I'm hanging in there until the weekend. It's my sister's grad school graduation party and I'm looking forward to some good times. Other than that, nothing too exciting is going on in my life. Wish I could tell you a good story, but I have none to tell so please enjoy the pictures and tell me what you have planned for the wee...

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...

We've come to the end of the road with my Las Vegas outfit posts. I guess there was only one before this but still. I brought my trusty maroon skater skirt with me on vacation because it looks great with pretty much anything. It was still the festive season so I paired it with a subtly sparkly silver sweater. The polka dot tights are another favorite that look good with nearly anything. I especially love how black looks paired with my maroon skirt too. That's a color scheme I'm sure you see me wear relatively often.  I really like this outfit, but then again it's hard not to like an outfit made up of favorite pieces and a pair of very comfy yet super cute shoes. It certainly was a great outfit choice for wandering down the Las Vegas Strip - comfy and stylish at the same time! Sometimes I like to save new pieces to wear for the first time over vacation, but other times I pack up only things I know I definitely enjoy wearing (and are comfortable). How about you? ...

This might be my favorite recent outfit so I hope you enjoy it too! I know the post right before this includes this burgundy leather jacket too, but I've been wearing it a lot. Something about the colored faux leather is so perfect for fall. This oxblood/burgundy/maroon shade pairs with so many other colors, but my favorite might be black. Here I styled it with some bold mixed prints: a dark floral print fit and flare dress and polka dot tights.  This was what I wore on a weekend trip to local Second Self brewery for their first anniversary party. I'd worn this dress and tights together to work earlier in the year but never photographed it. I kept remembering how much I liked the pairing, so here it is! The comfy chunky heels were perfect for being on my feet for hours and the jacket kept me dry on this slightly drizzly day. dress: ross | jacket: forever 21 | tights: kmart | shoes: korks - shoe carnival I love the picture right above this, but do you know how di...

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...
