Petite Panoply

This shirt is one of the more ridiculous button down shirts I've thrifted. It's pretty 70's-tastic with its elongated  pointed collar and polyester goodness, but I love it mostly for the fun geometric print. Plus it mixes red and blue and I love those colors together! Since it's such a bold shirt, I tend to let it shine on its own with other solid colors. I've worn it with red and blue pencil skirts before, but I figured I'd try layering it under a little black dress this time. Nobody gave me the side eye yesterday, so that's a win in my book. dress: poof apparel - ross dress for less | shirt: vintage - thrifted | blue flats: xhileration - target | red hair bow: forever 21 Today is made approximately 67% better because I found a giant bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs hidden behind some stuff in my coffee & tea shelf. I assume I hid them from my boyfriend because he likes to scrounge for snacks. Or I hid them so I would find them thi...

Happy Monday! I wore this on Friday for a pizza buffet dinner with Jeanie and then a night out with friends. I don't wear jeans super often because I have so many other clothes I enjoy wearing, but I really like these jeans. It's hard to find a cheap pair of modern high-waisted jeans! Next time I see a pair like these at Forever 21 I'm going to snatch them up because these are really not built to last. I paired the jeans with a tie-dye-ish top I got on clearance at Target and my black faux leather jacket. This jacket is proving to be a trusty item in my wardrobe. I'm sure I'll be breaking it out as soon as possible next fall. My boots here have served me well for well over a year now and they actually aren't that bad for walking around downtown all night. (I even made it through some epic white girl dancing at a bar that only plays 90s music.) My feet only hurt the next day! I think that's a success for heels. top: merona - target | jeans: forever ...

Happy Monday! Although I'm not sure how many happy things I'll be doing since I have a ton of school crap to catch up on. I see lots of coffee in my future... Anyway, I wore this last Thursday to go out to lunch. I love this little leopard print dress and hadn't worn it with tights yet, so here it is! Stripes clearly go with leopard print, right? I'm just going to pretend they do. dress: modcloth | tights: c/o (last year) oasap | booties: xhileration - target | cardigan: so... - kohl's | sunglasses, necklace: forever 21 Have a great Presidents' Day - especially if you're off work/school!

Check out my new cat print shirt! Jeanie bought it for me for Christmas and it's pretty fantastic. I'm not a cat lover at all, but I really enjoy this shirt. Cats are like a big joke in my family. Cat stuff is just funny for some reason. Perhaps because there are people who truly like cat objects in a non-ironic way. This shirt is pretty cool though! Thanks Jeanie! I wore this new blouse with my trusty black lace skirt. I've gotten so much use out of this $12 skirt that the price per wear is probably $0.10. It's pretty short, but I love it anyway. It covers my butt, so it does its solemn skirt duty. top, skirt, tights: forever 21 | shoes: xhileration - target | earrings: charming charlie  Do you guys have any fantastic plans for this weekend? I'm pretty sure I'm just going to have a Buffy marathon with Jeanie and mourn the end of winter break. We're back to class next week, so I'm quite sad. I'm not ready to start a...

Happy post-Thanksgiving lazy day! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and ate a gallon of food! There's been a break from my usual posting this week because of the sickness, but I was fine enough to go to Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. I'm finally starting to feel a little better. How's your black Friday shopping going? We don't go out shopping, but I like to look at the sales online. Right now I'm looking at Jo Totes camera bags because they're having a great sale. I really need to get the rest of my Christmas shopping for everyone else done before I buy myself something though... Anyway, here's what Jeanie and I wore yesterday. tights, sweater, hair bow: forever 21 | skirt, belt: thrifted | shoes: xhileration - target | necklace: from Italy skirt, shirt, tights: forever 21 | shoes: thrifted | earrings: ? Dinosaur earrings! Now that Thanksgiving is over I guess I should get going on all my school papers, but I...

We finally got out to the botanical gardens to take some pictures among the fall leaves. I think we missed some of the foliage, but there was still plenty to look at. Matt likes going to the gardens and walking the trails and I try to keep up as I take way too many pictures. He humored me this time by letting me take pictures of us together. I try to add to the small collection of decent pictures we have whenever I get a chance. Let's just say we're opposites when it comes to having pictures taken of us. Luckily a few turned out alright this time! Going through the pictures was pretty hilarious. We're making weird faces in most of them or talking to each other. This next one was me gracefully slipping when I had the bright idea of taking a picture with that fungus-covered log on the left there. Luckily Matt was there to help me so I didn't end up with a lovely picture of me on the ground. What I'm wearing in case you were wondering: |...

I really liked this outfit! I think I've been missing wearing tights with shorts. This outfit is from Monday and it was a little too hot for my new pink tights once mid-afternoon hit, but oh well! I loved the combination of pink and yellow too. These polka dot shorts will definitely be worn many more times this fall now that I know how great they can look with tights. shorts, belt, earrings: forever 21 | cardigan: mossimo - target | flats: xhileration - target | tights: kmart | t-shirt: Saddle-creek.com I'm wearing my The Good Life shirt again, as you can see! It was sitting in my drawer for so long. It really needed to be worn. These shoes are so ratty. I'm sorry. They're my comfy shoes. I also wear them if there's rain in the forecast because they were super cheap and they're made of some sort of plastic. Then I won't be sad if I ruin a pair of shoes. They don't look so bad from afar? That's my excuse. This is pr...

Happy Friday everyone! I was feeling like wearing leopard print today (when am I not feeling like that?) and realized I don't have a leopard print skirt here. Then I saw my high-low dress from Target that I wore in this post and figured I could just wear it as a skirt! And so this outfit was born. A mix of leopard print, an old Rainbow concert t-shirt, and my 60's patent leather bow flats. dress worn as skirt: xhileration - target | t-shirt: old concert shirt from Dad | cardigan: so... - kohls | shoes: vintage - thrifted | belt: thrifted | earrings: charming charlie | hair bow: h&m Well I hope everyone has a great weekend if I don't return, but I'll probably update because Sunday is my birthday! Wooo me! Woo birthday! Actually I'm pretty sure I'm not doing much, but I may go downtown tomorrow night and party it up and I'm definitely doing dinner with the family on Sunday which should be delicious. It's not as exciting o...
