“They stretched their wings”

Drapey fabrics and windy days don’t really make the best combination.  But I still love how this outfit came together, despite it not being very functional in this weather.  I got this skirt months ago during my shopping ban, but somehow this is the first time I’ve worn it out.  I has such a sweet [...]

“Everything will look like butterflies”

Yep, I love my new cardigan so much, that I couldn’t resist wearing it two days in a row.  And I’m feeling tempted to wear it pretty much constantly, even while lounging around the house in pajamas.  It seems that cashmere has that effect on people. The color scheme of this outfit was inspired by [...]

“Down, down, to the frozen ground”

This outfit repeats a lot of the elements of yesterday’s outfit.  When it gets as cold as it was last week, and your winter wardrobe is limited, sometimes repeats just happen.  But I like how adding an aqua blouse into the color mix changes the whole look. Weather this cold requires strategic layering, and in [...]

“More regal like purple”

Sometimes I end up with an item of clothing where I love how it fits, but the color has grown dingy over time, or wasn’t a color that I like to begin with.  When this happens, and I’m feeling motivated, I’ll mix up a batch of Procion MX dye and give new life to my [...]

“All I want is to play”

This outfit made me feel fun and playful all day.  That full Boden skirt is oh-so-fun to twirl in, and wearing the tunic layered underneath the skirt helped me to keep warm while not having a thousand crazy mismatched layers on (which was my original outfit).  Unfortunately, after spending a day in this outfit, I’ve [...]

“A Cheerful Hello, A Nice Smile”

I currently work two part time jobs, and one of them is filling in as a substitute media specialist (school librarian).  Being a substitute, means that you have to make frequent first impressions.  This is what I wore for one of those days last week.  I was originally going to wear plain black shoes, but [...]

Daily Outfit: Urban Bohemian

Generally, I am not a big fan of bohemian styles.  I went through a “hippie” phase in my teens, and such styles generally make me think of the awkwardness that was those years.  Yet lately, I find myself drawn to flowing silhouettes and earthy shades of brown.  However, I don’t think I’ll ever go “full-hippie”. [...]

Daily Outfit: Dress, Fall v1.0

Over the summer and early fall, I challenged myself and wore this dress in six different ways.  Now that some actual fall weather has arrived, I am challenging myself again to create six new unique looks for fall and “winter” (as wintery as it may get here, which will be no colder than the 30′s [...]

Daily Outfit: Trendy and Loving It

Normally, I tend to shy away from trends.  I usually prefer classic styles, and trends come and go so quickly, that it seems pointless to spend too much time worrying about them.  However, sometimes a certain trend will really resonate with me.  When that happens, I will wear, even after it’s gone out of fashion. [...]

Daily Outfit: Out on the Town

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to this really nice place in downtown Tampa to visit with a friend from out of town.  I love a good excuse to get dressed up.  The location wasn’t too fancy, so I picked an outfit that would be chic but not uber dressy. I didn’t realize until [...]
