Petite Panoply

Here it is! The blonde hair is officially on the blog for all of you non-Instagram followers to see. It may be a shock for some of you but it's been on my head for a couple of weeks now and I'm loving the change. My hair had been red for 11 years so it was good to do something different for a change. For my blonde debut on the blog I styled what may be my new favorite dress with a new pair of lace up flats from a Modcloth sale. I honestly wish this dress came in a bunch of colors because it's the perfect loose but not too loose fit on me. Forever 21 advertised it as a bodycon dress but it very much is not that. It's fantastically comfy and I'll definitely be bringing it with me to Europe to wear with tights and black boots. (As for now, I'm still donning bare legs because it's like walking on the sun in Georgia still.) dress: forever 21 | shoes: modcloth | necklace: sheinside I hope you've been having a good week and had a happy Monda...

Sometimes I draw inspiration from the school uniforms I never had to wear. And by that I mean I wear this thrifted plaid skirt that I'm pretty sure was part of a child's school uniform. It fits like it was made for me and I love it. This time I paired it with a crushed velvet crop top and my jean jacket. I added silver accessories for some extra flair.  I really liked how this outfit turned out! It felt young, fun, and a little bit 90s-inspired. I always feel like I get bonus points when main parts of my outfit are thrifted too. 340 points for Hufflepuff! (Because, P.S. I'm a Hufflepuff according to Pottermore.) jean jacket: thrifted | velvet top: forever 21 | plaid skirt: thrifted | tights: forever 21 | shoes: sam & libby - target | necklace: sheinside Once again, I can't believe it's already Friday. I've hardly left the house the entire week. Just Tuesday to shop with store credit for a couple hours. Thus is the life of a job hunter. You ...

I'm trying to force fishnet tights to make a comeback. I've worn a slightly less traditional pair of fishnet(y) tights on the blog before, but these are straight up traditional fishnets. They've been in my drawer for many years. I wore these to my freshman homecoming so it's the truth when I say they're old! They're actually a really nice pair of sturdy tights, not the fishnets that come with a crappy "sexy" Halloween costume. However you have to be careful that your outfit doesn't actually look like a sexy Halloween costume when you wear fishnets. I don't think a lot of people know it's possible to wear them with a daytime outfit. I think I succeeded in looking like a (relatively) normal human being. Wearing flats and not platform heels may be the key. Plus a fine fishnet pattern, if that makes any sense. Does anyone else think tights like these look really cool from afar? I'm always a fan of pieces that add a neat texture to an ou...

This was a forgotten outfit, somehow. I wore this back in late May and recently realized I hadn't posted it. I actually really liked how it turned out with the mix of silver and purple. This striped bodycon dress is different than most of the silhouettes in my wardrobe so I enjoyed styling it. I used some credits to Sheinside I won from The Clothes Horse to get it. I figured if it didn't work out I wouldn't be out any money so I might as well try something new. I tried to dress down this dress by pairing it with a comfy cardigan and flat shoes, but it could definitely be worn for a night out with heels. Wearing bodycon dresses means your food baby from chicken nuggets and hot dogs is super apparent though, so keep that in mind when wearing bodycon things to graduation parties. dress: sheinside | cardigan: forever 21 | shoes: sam & libby - target | necklace: sheinside I really like how the stripes on this dress create the illusion of curves on my body.

Happy Friday everyone! I won't lie. These pictures may have the best lighting of any outfit pictures I've ever taken and that makes me very happy. Dealing with the mosquitoes and heat was worth it. So I may need to trek over there in the future. I think the golden hour lighting really compliments my sheer galaxy print skirt. I know this skirt is "so last year" but I still like it. The print is very cool! I like trying different pattern combinations with it. Last year I paired my leopard print crop top with it but this time I went with polka dots. There's a dotty thing going on in the skirt's pattern so somehow it works. Polka dots kind of go with everything though! skirt: romwe | top: forever 21 | wedges: shoe carnival | necklace: sheinside I made another outfit video to go along with this outfit since I was really feeling this look. Plus, why not? Check it out and subscribe if you feel so inclined. I have some pretty exciting plans...

Happy Friday everyone! Here are some of the pictures Matt and I took up on UGA's north campus a few days after graduation. People were still going around taking graduation pictures for at least a week afterward. I figured I could make an outfit post out of the photos we took so here it is! I had to wear red, of course, so I threw on this super comfortable red romper. This short sleeved cardigan matches the pattern in the romper perfectly so it had to be worn. (I've actually worn this same romper/cardigan combo before because it works so well.) Then I added some silver accessories. Comfortable to walk around in but cute enough for graduation pictures. I may share some pictures this weekend that aren't just me hanging around near the arch and the fountain. romper: forever 21 | cardigan: forever 21 | shoes: solanze - shoe carnival | necklace: sheinside I hope you've had a nice week.
