Petite Panoply

Happy Monday everyone! This summery white cotton dress is the last piece online retailer Tobi sent me to style. It's a fantastic staple to have in my closet and I've already worn it a couple different ways. I do wish it was a little less easy to wrinkle but I guess that's what you get with cotton. The size I ordered (M) was just slightly too big for me too, so I had to watch my side bra area wasn't hanging out, (but it was remedied with a different bra on another wear.) Other than that, the dress has pockets and is lined to prevent any white cotton transparency issues! They even have it in black if you prefer that, but I think I have plenty of black dresses already. For this dress' first day out, I styled it with a stretchy gold belt that looks like gold coins. I thrifted the belt last year because I thought it was so neat and didn't wear it until yesterday! Do you ever do that? Sometimes you just have to buy things when you're thrifting even if yo...

Happy Friday! Here's an outfit featuring a plaid dress from Target that I've had for quite a few years. It was under my bed in winter storage and didn't get taken out until recently. I figured I should wear it if I'm going to hold onto it. This time I layered a thrifted black sweater and my leather jacket over it. I also added a beret which prompted Jeanie to call me a Scottish biker - or something to that extent. That definitely wasn't my intent, but oh well! This is also the first time I've featured my new Epiphanie camera bag on the blog! It was a Christmas present from Mom and Dad and I love it even though it's about half my size. It's so nicely padded inside and made of really soft red leather. dress: mossimo - target | sweater: ann taylor loft - thrifted | jacket: ashley by twenty-six international - ross dress for less | tights: forever 21 | boots: hand-me-down | beret: h&m | earrings: charming charlie | bag: epiphanie - sam's club ...

It's time for another Jeanie outfit! A blog friend sent over some cute dresses she was getting rid of and this was one that fit Jeanie way better than it fit me. She's more endowed than I am, so this dress fit like it was made for her. Plus the color is really pretty on her. I like how she styled it with these thrifted lace-up boots too. It was a simple, cute outfit for class. dress: forever 21 hand-me-down | boots: thrifted Have a happy weekend everyone!

I always like to wear a completely new piece of clothing on my birthday each year. It feels good to save the first time I wear a dress for a special day! This dress was thrifted in July when we were visiting Illinois so it has been waiting in my closet for its debut for a while. When I tried it on, I couldn't leave it because it fit like it was made for me. Plus I love a good 80s dress. I seriously should have been my age in the 80s. I love the big hair and the fun, often garish clothing style. This dress isn't too 80s-tastic for normal wear which is another reason why I love it so much. It also has pockets which makes it extra perfect. Sure, the shoulder pads are definitely 80s, but it's not too much. Plus I modernized the styling a little bit by adding another print and swapping out the matching belt. It was a great birthday outfit and 100% me. dress: vintage 80s - savers | tights: kmart | heels: daisy fuentes | belt: thrifted | earrings: hand-me-downs from Mom | l...

Here's a super cool Jeanie outfit for you to gaze upon today. I think this bird dress is pretty fantastic! She wore this last Sunday when I wore my polka dot dress. The two outfits were a little similar now that I look at these pictures. Also you may notice we own the same shoes. These are one of my favorite pairs because they're so comfortable. We don't share these though. Jeanie has her own pair since we have very different shoe sizes! dress: delia's | shoes: bongo - kmart | sunglasses: forever 21 Have a happy Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! Here's what Jeanie and I wore to a get-together last Thursday. There was plenty of fun had by all because Cards Against Humanity is a hilarious game.  These pictures were taken just when Matt pulled up to pick us up so they're obviously the most attractive. It's always awkward having extra spectators when outfit picture time is happening.  My dress is a recent Target purchase. I randomly decided to try it on because I didn't have anything like it yet. This is probably as close to the maxi dress trend that I'd get. It's just more flattering on my short frame if some leg is showing. It's also an incredibly comfortable dress, so that's always a plus! shoes: shoe carnival | dress: target | spiked bracelet: jigsaw london Have a great day!

These pictures turned out horrible. I must have been in a hurry. These are the best ones if that's tells you anything. What is this expression? I look angry. dress: evan picone; thrifted cardigan: forever 21 shoes: xhileration; target belt: ralph lauren; thrifted headband: forever 21 I thrifted this dress last year and wore it for my 20th birthday . I actually like the way I wore this dress last year better than this time, but I thought I'd try pairing brown things with it instead of black. I was so happy and birthday-y last year. Aw. Two more days until I'm 21! Happy Wednesday!
