Patterns


This is my first attempt at mixing patterns; I hope I did okay. I tried to channel glamour, business, and almost a burlesque feeling in my outfit. How do you think that comes through?

Spring Retro

Yesterday I discovered that my husband, in addition to his many talents, is also a really good fashion stylist!! This discovery lead to me trying on the majority of my wardrobe and demanding he style outfit after outfit. He was a very good sport about it, and today's lovely ensemble is one of the results:

Shirt, Skirt, Thrifted. Tights, Target. Shoes, Plasticland. Necklace, gift.

Boyfriend Jeans


I just picked up a pair of boyfriend jeans from the thrift store, (okay, two pairs actually), and here they are. I read in a magazine somewhere to pair boyfriend jeans with something you would wear to a black tie wedding, so I chose this gold top with a white and gold heavily beaded jacket. What do you think? Do you like the look?

Outfit Details: 
Jeans, shirt and jacket, all thrifted. Shoes, JCPenney. Necklace, Forever 21

Red, White, and Black

I found these shoes and this shirt yesterday while out thrifting with my friend Becky. I love them so much! Mad shoe love. It's hard to tell in the photo but the heel is actually gold. LOVE it! I think the shoes set off the red buttons on the top so nicely. Perfect for getting my hair cut today - as you can tell I'm in desperate need of a bangs cut!

Outfit Details:
Shirt: Thrifted
Jeans: Thrifted
Shoes: Thrifted

It was 70 yesterday, I swear

But it's back to dreary, rainy and cold again today. These temperature swings are hard to handle, especially when trying to figure out what to wear!

Stylish or a Sack?

I found this adorable little comfy dress last week and have been looking forward to wearing it. Luckily the weather has continued to stay nice since yesterday, and so I may wear my new treasured find. (I also had to wait until my husband was out of town on business because when I first tried it on for him he said "Nice concept, but it looks like a sack.")

What do you think?

Don't worry - you won't hurt my feelings if you don't like it - I'm just curious about what you think :)


What is your oppinion about this dress?
It's nice, but your husband is right, kind of shapeless.
Looks comfortable, but not too stylish.
I love it! Where can I get one?
Eh - don't care either way.

I got my wish!


The sun has arrived! Perhaps my poem from yesterday worked?!

I was feeling a bit wild but also fastidious today, and I think my outfit shows the dichotomy. But I like it. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day


I wore green in honor of St. Patty's day. And I wrote a little poem about the current weather in my part of midwestopia:

Gloom, gloom, go away,
Don't come back another day.
Rain, Rain, ruining my hair,
I want to wear spring clothes out there!
Grey, Grey, makes me sad,
Come on Sunshine! Make me glad.

It's my masterpiece ;)

Everything Thrifted.
