Petite Panoply

It's time for a super summery outfit here on the blog so here's this one! I've actually worn this flamingo print top from Shein a couple different ways but hadn't photographed it yet. This may be my favorite way I've worn it, paired with my light green scalloped shorts from Forever 21 and a pair of clear, studded sandals from Boohoo. It looks pretty cool with my lime green cardigan too, though... This top has such a cute print and was incredibly inexpensive but you can definitely tell it's cheaply made. The thing that bothers me most is the darts on the bust aren't in the right place. It's fine for what it is though. I've had some nice pieces from those cheapy online shops like Shein, but you always have the possibility that something will be off in the clothes you buy from them. I've been covering the weirdly placed darts with cardigans most time I wear this, but this time it was just too hot for that. It's not too noticeable, I h...

Be prepared for a very spring-y outfit ahead! First I'm going to tell you all about this fantastic tree branch necklace the kind people at Happiness Boutique sent me. They contacted me to pick out a statement necklace to style, so of course I picked the most unique one I saw: this pearl detailed tree branch necklace. (Unfortunately they've sold out of this one, but there's a pair of matching earrings .)  Happiness Boutique is based in Germany and curates trendy yet classic pieces. They have an awesome selection of necklaces and earrings at affordable prices and with free international shipping. It was fun looking through their pieces because I could imagine easily styling so many of them. Plus the store's theme around positivity and happiness is incredibly cute. Check them out next time you need an exciting piece of jewelry that won't break the bank! (They have a reward program too for those of you who buy a lot of jewelry!) I wore this super pastel o...

I'm so excited to show you the first way I wore my donut print bodysuit! This print is seriously the best. First, it's donuts and I love to eat donuts. Second, the pastel color scheme is extremely cute. I felt like the pastel donut fairy wearing this outfit and that was a-okay with me. Pairing this print with light green shorts definitely added to that feel.  I've organized my jewelry since moving back home so I was reacquainted with a bunch of things that were tangled up together or hidden. All of the beaded necklaces I wore so often a few years back were all of a sudden visible to me again! I decided on this clear and frosted necklace. Unfortunately it would pull my hair in the back when it was long. Now that my hair is short it doesn't give me any problems! Then I threw on my sparkly pink dollar store sunglasses. Sadly their frame cracked the day I wore this so they'll probably have to go to the cheap sunglasses graveyard soon. top, shorts: forever 21 |...

Do you have those pieces in your wardrobe that just don't get worn enough even though they should be highly remix-able? This leather pencil skirt is one of those pieces in mine. It's the outcome of a wonderful thrifting trip and a DIY scalloped hem. (You can see how this hem was done in my scalloped leather skirt tutorial .)  Sometimes it's daunting to think about wearing leather in the summer. Even though it's very hot outside, I decided to make this leather skirt work by pairing it with a light tank top and some wedge sandals. I was in the air conditioning most of the day anyway, so I survived wearing a leather pencil skirt in the Georgia heat!  skirt: thrifted | top: kmart | shoes: target | bracelet: jigsaw london This week has been and will continue to be weird. I'm half-way through moving out of my Athens apartment and back home for an unknown amount of time. (Basically until I get my life together and find a grown up job.) I've been clea...

Happy Monday everyone! Since I decided to sport some bright red hair for the end of summer, I figured it was only necessary to wear a very Little Mermaid-inspired outfit. These pictures were from the first day after dying my hair so it's super bright! It's not natural by any means, but it's fun. It'll be back to its normal red soon enough, so I'm really enjoying the change-up.  I think maybe my Ariel outfit was more apparent to me than to most other people. I was pretty sure people would be commenting on it (or pointing and laughing), but that wasn't the case. Mom and Jeanie saw the inspiration though! top: thrifted | shorts: forever 21 | shoes: boohoo How cool are these new shoes? I think they're so neat! They came with a warning to be careful not to spike yourself so they must be dangerously cool. I hope you had a good weekend. I had a family reunion to attend so my Saturday was busy. Yesterday I spent too much on Target cle...

I was looking through my pictures from Virginia and noticed I had a couple full body shots in there. So here's an outfit! I wore this on the drive up there so the shorts are nice and wrinkled, but that's okay. It was comfortable for the drive and for stuffing myself at The Homeplace afterward. The Homeplace is this great family-style restaurant up in the mountains. We used to go there when I was little and it's just as delicious now as it was then. Maybe I'll share some more pictures from the trip soon. I just have to get around to editing them! shorts, top: forever 21 | sandals: shoe carnival | bag: jototes  | earrings: thrifted Sorry about my blog slacking right now. This post should've been up yesterday but that didn't happen.  Also, here's a tune for today since it's Tuesday:

How is it Monday already? Here's a casual outfit I wore yesterday for an early dinner with Matt and some super exciting grocery shopping. I want to wear these floral pants a few more times before it's uncomfortably hot outside!  PepaLoves kindly sent me this adorable red scalloped purse from their summer collection. It adds a pretty pop of color to any outfit. There are also plenty of pockets and two separate sections inside, which is always a plus in a purse! I've never been a "bag girl" (I'd rather buy a billion shoes) but I'm very excited about carrying this bag around this summer.  floral pants: h&m | cardigan: delia*s | t-shirt: forever 21 | studded flats: c/o sway chic | red scalloped eugenia bag: c/o pepaloves | earrings: thrifted I just realized there's a red-green color scheme going on in this outfit. It was unintentional, but I like unexpected color combinations! I actually wore an outfit with these colors around t...

It's my new green shorts again! I loved how they looked with my bow tights and polka dot blazer. I just really liked this outfit. It all came together perfectly and it was comfy for a long day of class! polka dot blazer: lauren conrad - kohl's | t-shirt: saddle creek | shorts, tights, hair bow: forever 21 | shoes: c/o s way chic I hope you have a good weekend! I'm visiting Washington for the first time because I have basketball band duties there. It'll be a short trip, but at least I'll get to be there for a couple days or so. I'm sure I'll post pictures when I get back! Happy Friday!
