Petite Panoply

Happy Christmas Eve and welcome to another The Fringe Off collaboration post! This time we're each styling metallics in different ways. I feel like metallic clothes and accessories are always in style around the holidays (although I wish more people wore them throughout winter since those months can be so drab.) I figured it would be a fun challenge to style this festive sequined skirt for a more casual day. Also this is probably the only metallic item available to me right now since most of my wardrobe is in a storage unit. #sad To make this skirt more appropriate for a day of shopping, present-wrapping, and wedding photographer research, I styled it with a very casual green ribbed t-shirt, my faux leather jacket, and a pair of black lace up flats from Modcloth. As far as I know nobody even looked twice at me while I wandered around Target for a ridiculously long amount of time. skirt: xhileration - target | shirt: kohl's | jacket: ashley by twenty-six internati...

It's the new year! Before doing a roundup of 2015 I thought I'd show you what I wore on New Year's Eve yesterday while it's still slightly relevant. (Even though the holiday is over, I'm still looking forward to seeing what you all wore.) Again, I ask: why aren't sequins a-okay all year? Or at least through the rest of the winter months which kind of suck? I spotted this gold sparkly skirt at my last trip to Target and couldn't let it go. It was the last one left and in my size so I snatched it up! I already own a blue-green sequined skirt but it's okay to have two sequined skirts in one wardrobe, right? Just agree with me. I styled this incredibly sparkly skirt with a neutral color palate. Metallics and black always scream of New Year's Eve to me. For a little extra fun I added polka dot tights and a super cool beetle pin I thrifted. I also added a thin black turtleneck because it looks good with everything. top: boohoo | skirt:...

Any excuse to wear a sequined skirt is a good enough excuse for me. I've worn this skirt on completely normal days too , but this specific outfit was worn at my sister's graduation party. Sequins and parties just go together! There's also a Little Mermaid feel going on with this skirt so I had to eventually pair it with this bold purple silk top. I thrifted this shirt a long while ago and love it but the wrinkles just do not want to come out. I tried my best! To accessorize, I added a short tie around my neck and my delightfully comfy two-toned Steve Madden flats that I got at Shoe Carnival for $15. Isn't it the best when a pair of shoes actually turn out to be substantially comfortable? It's kind of like a lottery when you buy a pair of shoes. Until you wear them during an entire day of walking around, you just don't know! These, luckily, don't hurt and go with practically everything. top: thrifted | skirt: forever 21 | shoes: steve madde...

Happy happy Monday everyone! Can you believe it's already June? This past month went by so quickly and I still have a lot I want to do in the upcoming weeks! These pictures are from earlier in May when Matt and I went to the new Creature Comforts Brewery and wandered about town together. It was a really fun evening. I'll be posting about our trip to the brewery soon so you'll see a few more pictures of this outfit, I'm sure. It's definitely a recent favorite of mine. This seafoam-colored sequined skirt was on clearance at Forever 21 and it fit perfectly, so it had to come home with me. It reminds me of The Little Mermaid for some reason. This high-neck blouse is a recent Target find. I figured it'd basically be great for all seasons depending on how I style it. Plus it pretty much matches everything. Hooray for actually buying something solid-colored and versatile! top: target | skirt: forever 21 | shoes: solanze - shoe carnival | earrings: charming c...
