Petite Panoply

Saint Patrick's day is kind of a big deal in my family and I tend to celebrate all week long, wearing as much green as possible. I do own a lot of green clothes. Unfortunately this isn't what I'm wearing today but it fits the green theme somewhat, so it'll be my St. Pat's post this year! I'm wearing a shamrock necklace so it works, right? I originally bought this green, red, and blue plaid dress from Modcloth for Christmas but it ended up being much too large in the bodice area, which is a struggle I often have with dresses fitted at the waist. The back was buckling out from too much fabric so my mom altered it for me by taking up the shoulders and now it fits perfectly! Clearly it didn't end up being a holiday dress but maybe this year it will be. For now I styled it with my faux leather jacket, some gray tights, and lace-up ankle boots. I was rocking my cat eye glasses because my eyes were bothering me too. dress : modcloth | jacket: ashley ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Usually I have an outfit with something green ready to schedule for the occasion, but not this year. This is actually what I'm wearing today! Luckily I had time to get outside and take some pictures of it. I'm pretty sure this green dress is the perfect piece to wear for Saint Pat's. I added shamrock earrings (that you can't really see) and a shamrock hair clip to make everything more festive. You'll probably notice that I'm rocking my glasses again. My eye issue apparently never cleared up. Almost all of my pictures had glasses glare. How does one take pictures in glasses without that problem? Yet another reason why I prefer my contacts!  Anyway, I hope you're having a good St. Patrick's Day! We celebrated over the weekend but we've continued the celebration into today. I'm looking forward to Guinness stew pies tonight and perhaps a pint of Guinness itself. Yum! dress: romwe | shoes: xappeal - rack room sho...

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Here's what I wore to my uncle's slightly St. Patrick's Day themed wedding on Saturday. Most of the girls decided to wear green so I broke out this dark green halter dress from deep within my closet. It was my homecoming dress from junior year of high school. I'd really wanted a Marilyn Monroe style dress in green that year so Mom made this one for me. I'm happy it still fits! The only issue while wearing this dress is making sure I don't have a wardrobe malfunction. There's plenty of tape holding the fabric perfectly in place just in case! dress: handmade by Mom | hair comb: sally's | heels: christian siriano - payless I made sure to style the dress differently than back in high school. I went with silver pumps and a silver hair comb. I also had a dark purple cardigan in case I got cold but there aren't any pictures of that! This whole outfit just goes to show you should dig around in your closet...

This past spring break I spent most of my time hanging at home. Hooray for cheap spring breaks! We did a lot of shopping and even went into Atlanta one of the days. Plus we celebrated Matt's birthday and St. Patrick's Day. It was a pretty nice break. Here are a few pictures from three weeks ago! We enjoyed delicious Irish coffees and cake on Matt's birthday. I was gazing at myself in an Ikea mirror. Specifically my butt in these pants. Good times. And a wonderful St. Patrick's Day sister picture. I'm happy to be back in Georgia after the Spokane trip. I'm completely exhausted and am trying to catch up on school crap. I hope I can get back on a normal sleep schedule soon! I'll share some pictures from the trip eventually when I have time to go through and edit them. There are a bunch of great scenery pictures, but hardly any of me because nobody can figure out how to take an in-focus picture with my camera. Even if I explain...

As promised, there's a new Jeanie outfit post today! She paired a green t-shirt with a colorful floral skirt and her new wedge boots. She was towering over me in our pictures together! Jeanie is already a couple inches taller than me so if we're not both wearing heels there's quite a difference. nail polish: o.p.i. - my vampire is buff & china glaze - graffiti glitter I hope you're all having a nice Tuesday. I get to sleep in a little bit today because my first class got canceled. Unfortunately, I have a paper to work on this week and need to get started on that asap. Can grad school be over yet? Happy Tuesday!

Happy belated Saint Patrick's Day! My family goes all-out for this holiday, so you can count on me wearing a very green, festive outfit. Luckily St. Patrick's Day tends to fall on my spring break so I get to be home and eat Mom's delicious Irish feast. I always look forward to that meal and the tasty leftovers I get to bring back to Athens.  shorts, top, shoes: forever 21 | cardigan: delia's | shamrock earrings: from Ireland | hair bow: unknown origin It was really warm so I wore my new green scalloped shorts. I paired them with a teal cardigan which may be green overload but I don't care! I have quite a few shamrock accessories in my arsenal so those were included too. Hooray for themed outfits! nail polish: china glaze - budding romance & cha cha cha (I'll have Jeanie's St. Patrick's outfit up for you to see tomorrow!) It was a good last day home for break, but now I'm back in Athens getting school stuff ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Woo! These pictures are from the St. Patrick's parade I went to while we were up in Illinois. It's always way more festive for St. Patrick's day up there and I enjoy it immensely. I've also decided I should learn how to play the bagpipes. I already play the trumpet, so that means I can bagpipe it up, right? I hope you all have a festive day. I know I'll be partaking in some delicious beers and wearing plenty of green and Irish things.
