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 [...]

Shopping Ban: Week 14

This week I had a huge haul of awesomeness.  I had a total of $36 in ban money available and $20 in free money.
I made  a trip this week to a boutique near where I work.  That job is wrapping up soon, so I wanted to visit and support this shop one more time, since [...]

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: 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 [...]

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 [...]

Daily Outfit: Hello, Fall.

Last week, we had a nice cold spat, and the morning of this outfit, it was actually in the fifties!  I had to take advantage of the cold while I had it, and I’d been itching to try a new layering technique inspired by Lucky.

This was just the right amount of warmth for the morning. [...]

Daily Outfit: Fall?

We’re finally starting to have fall-ish weather in Florida, and it couldn’t have come soon enough.  The summer heat was starting to drive me crazy, and I’m so glad to have more layering opportunities now.  Albeit, the low on the coldest day was 52, but most of the time it’s been in the mid 60s [...]
