Disclaimer: These pictures are really bad...

Lesson learned today? Don't take outfit pictures when its starting to get dark outside, because they will never turn out well!  

I got this sweater for christmas last year, and I love it.  The reindeer pattern is so fun, but not so over the top and christmas-y, so I can wear it year round, yay! 

Wanna know something? I wear 7 rings a day.  Is that too much? I think not!

Yikes...

I'll be the first to admit it, I am THE WORST blogger ever.  But the good news? My new years resolution (as decided yesterday...but thats besides the point) is to be better about this blog.  Maybe even post at least 3 times a week! But lets not get ahead of ourselves...

These photos weren't my idea, as you can probably tell by my facial expressions.  I was on my way to the college group at my church friday afternoon, and as I was rushing out the door my mom told me this would be a great outfit for the blog! I reluctantly agreed, and thus these were born! 

This jacket is probably my favorite item in my closet.  I wear it an embarrassing amount of times a week, but so what! I love its color, and the detailing is just subtle enough to wear it doesn't over power whatever else I'm wearing.  

I asked for these shoes for christmas, and I LOVE them.  I'm still getting used to wearing heels this high, but I love them so so much.

hello fall!

i think fall might be my favorite season.  i love the weather and the clothes and the food and the smells and the activities and just everything!

today i went to the pumpkin patch with some of my friends, and i decided to have a little fun with my outfit! my mom bought me the sweater vest at a local thrift store, and honestly at first i didn't like it, but after giving it another chance i realized that  i love it! the little apple button detailing is so precious and almost unexpected.

this purse is probably my favorite thing that i own! it is so cute, goes with almost everything, and is vintage which is always a plus. 

my sweet friend bought me this headband and necklace as a surprise.  i had a really hard week last week and she gave them to me just for fun, and the hourglass is a reminder that this is just a season and it will pass.  i love having encouraging and loving friends!

i need to get better about posting on here.  school and work have gotten the best of me these past 2 months, but no more!

green with envy

it was HOT as heck here yesterday, and i really do mean HOT.

i think the only thing saving me from sitting around my house all day drinking Arnold Palmers and watching Say Yes To The Dress was the fact that I had a few meetings, and i don't think they would have appreciated seeing me in my pajamas.

since it was so hot I didn't want to get too crazy with my outfit.  i bought this vintage Seiko dress a while back, and have never really had a chance to wear it.  it was perfect for the weather yesterday, because it was super light and flowy.  I belted it to give myself some shape, and paired it with some simple sandals from target.

its been a while

my goodness, i don't know how i let 3 whole weekdays go by without posting!
for that my friends, i am sorry.

but i'm back!

i had a friend ask me to go to lunch downtown today, so i decided that since its a beautiful sunny day i would wear one of my FAVORITE skirts.  when i first saw this skirt i didn't give it a second thought because i thought it was way too clowny, but then i decided to buy it, and i'm so so happy that i did.

i didn't want to risk going overboard with this outfit since the skirt is such a statement piece, so i paired it with a simple vintage sleeveless top, pale pink heels (which i actually wore in my sisters wedding!) and one of my favorite necklaces.

My mom took me to get a manicure yesterday, and I decided to go with a french, they are my favorite!

i've worn this before...

happy friday friends!

its a gorgeous day here today so i'm off to enjoy the sunshine, but first i wanted to post on here and show you my outfit!

this outfit is definitely go-to for me when its warm outside and i can't really think of anything else to wear.  its super low-maintenance while still being fun.

i thought that the color and cut of the shirt and short(er) skirt would make the outfit more feminine with the combat boots.

forgive the awkward-ness of these photos, i wasn't really feeling getting my picture taken today...

and the award for most awkward goes to...

you guys.

today is just one of those days.

i know i know, i've committed a cardinal sin of fashion by wearing the same shirt two days in a row, but today that just needed to happen.

i had so much to do today and was swamped with a bunch of different projects, so i really just threw on whatever i could find in my closet.

unfortunately the only thing vintage about this outfit is my headscarf, but i'm gonna give myself a free pass on this one.
