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 writing [...]

Daily Outfit: Un Petit Peu

Somedays, you just need a little bit of francais in your life.  This was one of those days.

If I only had black ballet flats, it would have been perfect.  The striped cardigan, the black slim capris, and the scarf tied casually around my purse all evoke a wonderful French feel that I absolutely love.

I also [...]

Daily Outfit: Professional

Yes, uber original title, I know.  I wore this outfit when there was a big principal’s meeting at the school I work at.  It was hosted in the media center, so I wanted a polished, professional appearance.

I think this black and white blouse is quickly becoming one of my favorite thrifting finds.  The material is [...]

Daily Outfit: Social No-no’s

Inspired by Kimberly’s Inspiration Calendar, I decided to try a color combo that I’ve never ventured into before: navy, black and brown.  I usually shy away from all-neutral combos, because I really love color.  But I still found this a fun experiment.

The funny thing is, the entire day, I kept thinking about a character I [...]

Daily Outfit: 85 Degrees

Anyone want to send some cold weather down to Florida?  There’s so many fall looks that I’m itching to wear, but ever since our one cold spat, it’s been in the eighties most days.  So I’ve decided that if the fall weather won’t come to us, then I’ll make fall looks work for warm weather.

Today’s [...]

Daily Outfit: Mad Men

I’m not sure how I managed to take so few photos of this outfit, because I absolutely loved it.  I felt kind like a secretary on Mad Men all day, although this outfit still pales in comparison with Joan Holloway.  I just recently got this skirt altered.  The fit just wasn’t right before. I got [...]

Daily Outfit: In the Navy?

I’ll be completely honest in saying that this outfit didn’t exactly wow me.  I like the magenta and navy color combo, but I’m just not sure about how the whole outfit came together.  Maybe it would have looked better with a magenta skinny belt?  Or with a skirt instead of grey pants? (Which are looking [...]

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween.  Something about the festive spirit appeals so much to me.  And it’s not Halloween without roasted pumpkin seeds, jack-o-lanterns and costumes.
Here’s how I made these delicious pumpkin seeds: Take seeds out of pumpkin, clean off all pulp and rinse in a colander.  Mix raw seeds with 4 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp Worcestershire [...]

Daily Outfit: Bang, bang, bang

Notice a difference in the hair?  I love, love, love how these bangs turned out.  I really wanted bangs similar to Zooey Deschanel’s, but with short hair instead of long hair.  I love how the bangs are sweet without being too childish.  And once again, they make for awesome headband opportunities.

I actually had the image [...]

Daily Outfit: New Dress Love

Like I said before, this dress is going to get an insane amount of remixing.  It looks great by itself, with tights, or with leggings here.  The fit is perfect, and it’s so comfy and soft.  And with it’s neutral color, there’s no end to how I can accessorize it.

For this outfit, I focused on [...]
