Daily Outfit: Matchy-Matchy

I usually shy away from matching too many elements in an outfit.  But for this outfit, it just felt right.  Every other color of purse I tried felt out of place, and this was perfect.  There’s no such thing as hard and fast style rules in my book.

The theme at my school for this day [...]

Daily Outfit: Night Time

Normally I prefer to always take my pictures in natural sunlight.  Sometimes though, the day gets away from me, and I have to settle for porch-light.  One of these days, I’ll get my broken flash fixed, but this works for now.

The unfortunate effect of this lighting is that the color gets very washed out.  This [...]

Shopping Ban: Week 15

Last weekend, I hit up a bunch of local garage sales.  I found some awesome stuff, but ending up getting a lot of duds also.  That seems to be how it goes with garage sales.  I’ve only taken photos of the items I’m keeping, but I counted the total money spent against my ban.

My favorite [...]

Daily Outfit: Brown Hornet

You got a peek at this dress during my shopping ban post last week, but now I’d like to go into the details.  This dress is absolutely going to become one of my wardrobe essentials.  The neutral, rusty brown color offers plenty of opportunities for accessories.  The deep v neck makes layering possibilities about.  The [...]

Shoe Lust: Born Adele

Born Adele   $88.95 on Zappos
During my six month shopping ban, I have decided to only buy three pairs of shoes: black knee high boots, ballet flats, and brown dress pumps.  Each pair can cost no more than $100.  Because of this, I’ve decided that the most constructive use of my shoe lust posts should be [...]

Daily Outfit: Mastering Casual

Now that summer is slowly coming to an end, I feel like I’ve finally begun to master the art of summer casual. Knee length shorts or skirts, a pretty blouse, simple accessories and some strappy sandals are all I need.

I love the calm, muted color palette of this outfit.  It was perfect for the relaxed [...]

Daily Outfit: A Little Bit Punk

I love punk rock.  I could listen to The Clash, Iggy Pop and the Replacements all day.  And I love the diy ethos of punk.  Still, I’m not exactly a studded leather and combat boots type of girl.  But I love to find ways of incorporating elements of punk rock into my style, making outfits [...]

Daily Outfit: Emotional Booster

Thank you so much for all the job-hunting well wishes yesterday.  I’ve got an interview this morning at 11:00, so keep you fingers crossed for me.
Sometimes when you’re feeling down, taking the time to get dressed up can help you feel a bit better, even when all you’re doing that day is going to the [...]

Daily Outfit: Lazy Days

A combination of summer heat and unemployment have left me not really in the mood to put together awesome outfits.  I’ve been spending most of my free time catching up on housework and running errands, so most days I’ve just been wearing jeans and t-shirts.  It’s just a bit harder to get motivated when you [...]

Daily Outfit: DIY Cut-offs

Be prepared for one of the most casual outfits you will ever see me in.  Florida is in the blazing hot stage of summer, and today I wanted to run errands on my bike, so that meant wearing clothes that could deal with the heat while still letting me look decent enough to drop off [...]
