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: Simply Sweet

I wore this last weekend for dinner out with the family.  We went to a hip new restaurant in our neighborhood, Ella’s.  The food was amazingly good, and the atmosphere was gorgeous.  We are on their outdoor porch under some beautiful old oak trees.  I highly recommend going there if you’re in the area.

This purse [...]

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: All Hail Fluevog

I’m still debating about whether or not to keep my orange Fluevog Fiorenzas (I just really don’t like the color orange anymore).  But one thing is definitely for sure, my goldenrod Malibrans aren’t going anywhere.  I adore these shoes.  They were my first real style investment, and they were worth every penny.  I may feel [...]

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 [...]

Daily Outfit: C’mon Fall!

Seasonal milestone: last week was the first time I was able to wear a real pullover!  And then the next day I wore a sleeveless shirt.  So here’s my message to Florida: please tell Fall to stick around instead of coming and going constantly.  I like my cold weather, thank you.

This was also the first [...]

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 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 [...]
