Petite Panoply

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm here with a new outfit to hopefully brighten the end of your week since there's a unicorn on my shirt. Yes, I'm a grown adult with a unicorn shirt but nobody has to know I'm a grown adult, right? I was out shopping for a possible engagement picture outfit and came across this embroidered unicorn shirt and couldn't let it go. Actually my sister convinced me I needed it and then I found a gray pleated skirt that exactly matched the shirt's gray ringed collar and sleeves. So it was fate that I had to buy both and wear them together. It was a weirdly warm January day when I wore this, so I styled this outfit without tights and instead went with some purple socks (to play off the unicorn, of course) and a pair of silver oxfords. It was all very comfy and a little spring-y, which is good in my book because I'm actually kind of ready for spring weather. Probably the fact that most of my winter clothes are in storage still... ...

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...

The amount of stripey patterns going on in this outfit makes me happy. I didn't originally plan to wear this blue plaid coat when I put on the rest of my clothes, but the added color and pattern adds a lot to my outfit. There might be too much going on for some, but I enjoyed it! It was perfect for wandering around Piedmont Park with Matt and Riker. Although at one point it got a little warm and I had to take my scarf off. Oh well! This striped fit and flare dress is one of the comfier options in my closet. It feels like pajamas which is almost always a plus. Then I layered some herringbone fishnet tights with black knee socks - because why not? The wedge boots were a practical, yet stylish choice because they're incredibly comfortable to walk in. Finally, I wore my big blue Firmoo glasses since they hadn't seen daylight in a while. Overall, a busy, yet comfy outfit for a warm winter day. coat: target | dress: forever 21 | tights: kohls? | socks: target | wed...

This was the outfit I wore to the New Pornographers concert earlier this month. I bought this maroon leather skirt at Forever 21 with a gift card from my birthday. I didn't realize just how short it was until I saw these pictures! I mean, I felt a slight breeze on my butt walking to the venue but I just assumed it was the normal kind of short skirt breeziness. My nether-regions remained covered all evening but I think this is a must-wear-with-tights kind of skirt from now on. Nevertheless, I loved how this outfit turned out. I enjoy the over-the-knee socks look that other bloggers rock so I figured it was time to pull mine out again. Plus this flannel shirt looks good with just about everything and it kept me perfectly warm while out and about in Atlanta. The concert was absolutely amazing. The New Pornographers is one of my absolute top favorite bands and this was the second time I'd seen them. They encored three times and played "Sing Me Spanish Techno" for their...

Happy Friday everyone! These pleated corduroy shorts are kind of like old man pants in shorts form, but they look so good with band t-shirts. I've definitely worn something similar to this before. It's such a comfy combination. This time I added my new jean jacket to the mix though! I broke out my black over-the-knee socks too because I'd forgotten how incredibly annoying knee socks are. I swear I can't take 10 steps without having to pull them up. They're definitely best for lounging around the house! t-shirt: vintage from dad | shorts: forever 21 | jacket: so... - thrifted | socks: target | shoes: forever 21 | belt: thrifted lipstick: occ lip tar - NSFW How was your week? Any fun weekend plans? Unfortunately I'm feeling under the weather and have a lot of research to do. I guess I'll be doing that all weekend. I might have to take some fun breaks to keep from going crazy though! At least I might go out to the botanical gardens today and...

I couldn't pass up this Star Trek shirt when I was browsing Forever 21 online. I am  a casual fan so I figured it was safe to buy it. I'm slowly making my way through the original series on Netflix after being a fan of Next Generation. I couldn't resist the fun design of this shirt even though it's a muscle tee. I bought a small and it's seriously over-sized on me. It's absolutely necessary to wear some sort of bandeau bra underneath - or wear a cardigan all day. I did both. If I was one of those leggings-as-pants girls, this would be the perfect top to wear with them because it thoroughly covers the butt. (It's also really great as a sleep shirt.) But anyway, this shirt is 'da bomb'. And I matched the colors in the rest of my outfit to the design on the shirt because that's how I roll. Did you expect anything less from me? top: forever 21 | skirt: forever 21 | cardigan: forever 21 | shoes: circo - target | socks: kmart  These...

I guess I've really been loving wearing my little Keds lately because here's another outfit with a dress & Keds combo. They're really comfy for walking back and forth to campus. This white pair is from high school when I was in Grease. So they're pretty old...but that's okay! It's like my vintage airplane pin was meant to be paired with this denim dress. They look so perfectly retro-tastic together. Maybe denim just goes with airplanes. I don't know, but this outfit wouldn't be nearly as good if I wasn't wearing my airplane pin. I can thank Jeanie for picking it out for me as I rushed out the door that morning. She was my accessorizer.  dress, cardigan, hair bow: forever 21 | shoes: keds | socks: kmart | airplane pin: vintage from grandma I hope you guys have a great start to your week. I stayed up pretty late getting my readings done for class, so I'll be tired. Oh well. It's a brand new week and I fully intend on ...

I really love this pink leopard print dress I got on sale from Modcloth a little while back. I've been consciously trying to style my dresses in more than one way for the blog. I think this is this dress' 4th feature on here! This time I paired some super colorful Keds with it (and ridiculously purple socks). I enjoyed the way my teal makeup and earrings contrasted with the pink in the dress too. Overall a pretty bold, colorful look for class but that's how I roll. dress: modcloth | sunglasses: dollar tree | shoes: keds - ross dress for less | socks: kmart | earrings: thrifted | belt: modcloth Do you guys like my ridiculous sparkly pink sunglasses? I got them from Dollar Tree. Seriously. I've been buying cool sunglasses there for so many years. Sorry this post was up a tiny bit later than usual. Flickr was down when I was trying to schedule my post! At least the oh-so-considerate landscapers woke me up early with leaf blowers right outside...
