My Daily Outfit


I'm really liking these white tights, and now that I know they go well with gray and blue I decided to pair them with my shorts!
Shirt: Express
Tank: Target
Shorts: Express, made into cut offs by me
Tights: TJ Maxx
Shoes: Steve Madden

More Expensive Work Outfit

I think this look would be perfect for a casual Friday work look, or if your workplace is more casual.

I started out with the blouse which I love. The colors are gorgeous and I love the sleeves. Then I paired it with some great plain trousers so the blouse could take center state. Also the neckline was screaming for a necklace and I loved the small details on the gold one. Finally I'm obsessed with the shoes, and even though the colors don't match I think a peak of bronze really sets off the whole look.
Blouse: Anthropologie $228
Trousers: Anthropologie $118
Necklace: Modcloth $17.99
Shoes: Nanette Lapore $395
Total: $758.99

Inexpensive Workish Outfit

I realized now that graduation is approaching I'll need to get some work appropriate clothes. The only problem is that if I had to wear a boring suit everyday I would die. It's exactly why I left Catholic school. So I picked out this as a possibility:

First of all the skirt is amazing, and it's knee length so I think it's office appropriate. I also really love the blazer, the little bows on the pockets keeps it young (not too young) and fun instead of dowdy. I also like having a flash of color under the blazer by using the tank top.
Blazer: Forever21 $24.80
Tank: Forever21 $7.90
Skirt: Forever21 $17.80 (I'm also totally getting this skirt. It looks like it should cost at least $50, love love love)
Shoes: Steve Madden $47.96
Total: $98.46! Stayed under even with the $50 shoes!

Vintage - After

So I ended up taking a little bit more off than I wanted to, but with the addition of the white tights I think it looks amazing!

Dress: Vintage 60s
Tights: TJMaxx
Shoes: Ralph Lauren (selling them here)

The Top Three on Project Runway

Or at least the last two. I'm 99% sure I have figured out who two of the final three are by looking at the runway shows.

Awesome Outfits Without A Price Limit


As soon as I saw these shoes I fell in love. I love shoes that are just fun, especially when they're multicolor. So I built the rest of the look around the shoes. I like the dress, with the sweetheart neckline, the peplum, and the major 80s vibe. I also love the necklace, which matches the shoes, and the bag is just too much awesomeness to describe.
Dress: Topshop $90
Necklace: Modcloth $14.99
Bag: Topshop $100
Shoes: Modcloth $37.99
Total: $242.98
At least the shoes aren't all that expensive.

Vintage - Before

Yesterday my aunt took me out for lunch for my birthday, and then bought me this amazing dress from my favorite vintage store. I was ecstatic, I love the dress. The only problem is that it's too long:

I think that I'm going to cut it off around knee length, and then a bonus is that I'll have enough of the material left over to make something really cool. Finished product coming soon...
