Since it was such a sunny day in TX, I thought I would try and make yalls day a little sunnier with some of this cuteness. If this didnt do it than I hope you smile watching this...

I feel bad I wore these to church...

Blazer: thrifted

Tank: LOFT clearance

Pants: J Crew

Shoes: Nine West

...Because I practically stole these pants from J Crew. They are the love child of army and forest green and were 40% off their 20$ sale price tag. But they fit wonderfully and give me a little bit of a challenge in styling them. And these shoes... most comfortable heels ever. These too were super clearance at DSW, which I for a long time thought stood for "Dallas Shoe Warehouse" rather than discount. They are so nude leather, so nude they blend into my white feet in these pictures.

 And sorry for the picture quality. My camera was dead so these were taken via iPhone. Im starting to make my pictures bigger so yall can see more details of the outfit since I don't have the time to take more than a few every day.

FINAL day of pantlessness

Jacket: Thrifted

Skirt: Express design studio, Thrifted

Boots Thrifted

Shirt: Target

Watch: Charming Charlies

Check out these thrifted pieces. Three of my all time favorites.

I wore them to a dinner with the faculty of my future home. These kind of quality pieces are what makes me LOVE thrifting.

Finishing of this week of solid skirts and dresses I feel that I have really exercised

 my closet and style more than I normally would have in one week. I loved feeling more put together and girly everyday. I think that I have learned through this how to work them into everyday wear rather than church and other "dress up" events. You WILL be seeing more of these babies.

How did YOUR week go?



different layers

Day 6!

Jacket: Target

sweater: XXI

Dress: Bloom

Scarf: Kohl's

Boots: thrifted

belt: thrifted

So today this girl told me that me layers are always... "different". At first I was a little offended. But then I looked at her in her north face masterfully layered over a hanes shirt and thought... I'm okay with that. I'm okay because I like my layers even if they are different. I like my layers because they keep me warm. I like layers because I think they look cute, and therefore they give me confidence.

But still. It bugged me a little. So I am being completely passive aggressive and writing about her anonymously on a blog she will never read.

HA! TAKE THAT MISSY!

anyhow. Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge! I am attending a formalish dinner out of town so my outfit is already planned. And I must say, I think it is my favorite thus far. Are you guys going out with a bang as well? Cant wait to find out!

PS) wanna know something awkward? Running up a hill with a backpack on, all while trying to keep the wind from getting the best of your skirt. and getting to the top and realizing there was someone watching, waiting to talk to you.

Busy wednesday

FLASHBACK

Here's today's outfit...

Jacket: Gap Outlet

Dress: Walmart

Belt: Homemade

Boots: thrifted

Tights: Charlotte Russe

I was tagged by the beautiful and stylish Katie to share 7 things about my childhood. Which I am officially two monthes out of. seriously. You can card me.

( yah, the Dallas curls go way back)

1) I have "pillow and ginger" who I have slept with since I can remember. (ginger, the teddy bear)

2) I was OBSESSED with seaworld and would go to the San An location very often. My mom was even a little ticked that I liked it better than Disneyland we flew all the way out to Fl for.

3) I am an only child so I spent a lot of time with Barbie.

4) I won the principal's choice award in 8th grade which was totes embarassing at the time.

5) My favorite movie was Pocahontas

6) For a while I did not like hamburgers and french fries. Too bad I grew out of that one so fast.

7) I too was a thumbsucker and have to have braces for 5+ years to fix the damage.

And I think this has been going around so if you're reading this and haven't done one yet, TAG! YOU ARE IT!
