My Mainstreet + My 100th Post

I could go on and on about my hundredth post, but I really don't feel like I need to. It is kind of funny though, I feel like I've had this blog forever and yet still like I couldn't have composed one hundred outfits already (well almost, some posts were about books instead).

Outfit Details: 

Porcelain Style Dress & Best of Times heel: Modcloth

Skirt & Necklace: Made by me

Belt: Kohl's

Ring: Forever21

Purse: Marc's

The mainstreet of my little village is a pretty place, through the years the town has tweeked it and improved it. Funny, but I can't really remember what it looked like in the beginning. We always have a street fair on that main street once a year where it's standing room only; but otherwise it's a quiet and quaint location. The perfect place for a walk, I'm sure about that. I've always lived here so I might be biased. 

 Sometimes, for outfits, the merging of patterns can be overwhelming, but I think the subtle pattern of the green skirt matches well with the toile dress. Plus the heels just complete the outfit. It was outside my comfort zone taking pictures as many cars passed by. It was just me, with a dinky tripod. But it was a quiet Sunday, and most people were probably at home, so it worked out in the end.

Olive Green Shorts

Outfit Details: 

Shirt: Gabriel Brothers

Shorts: Thirfted

Shoes: Kohl's

Purse: Marc's
Puppy: Ollie

I ran out to take these picture just before it began to rain. For once I'm actually wearing shorts, which doesn't happen every day. But these shorts are special. I've had them forever and they have just always stuck with me. The olive green, high waist, and durable material, what isn't to love? If only all more shorts were like these. I feel like I should apologize for my dirty dog, but he's a farm dog who loves to sleep under the porch. What can you do?

Yellow Lace and Book Reading Weather

Outfit Details:

Plaid button up: Walmart

Lace yellow top & Ring: Forever21

Skirt: Thrifted (and shortened)

Necklace: World Market

Purse: Marc's

Tights & Shoes: Target

This was my first spring outfit of the season. It was such a beautiful day, I spent most of it outdoors: reading and climbing trees and playing with my puppies.

With spring (and summer) coming (well, spring is actually here, but whatever) it is the season of updos. If you are anything like me, than wearing the hair down is just a gigantic no. My hair is like a heated blanket in and of itself. Come May I plan on chopping off a few inches and that way getting rid of split ends and giving my hair a chance to regrow. That is the nice thing about when you wearing your hair up all the time, you don't really feel like you are giving up your long hair.

Welcome to spring everyone.

Modern Girl in a Modern World

Necklace: Made by me

Earrings: Museum gift shop - brand 1920

I have officially stepped into the modern world with my first ever smart phone. My last phone I have had for almost four years, and while I adore it (and the I heart voting stick on the back) it was becoming increasingly annoying as the buttons weren't working. Yeah, it had buttons and it's small. I've liked that I didn't have a smart phone, but it's nearly impossible to find a good non-smart phone. So I'm happily conceding to the modern world. I can listen to music on it and surf the web and read books on it! What marvels! So now I happy to introduce my instragram account to those that might want to follow. ---> instragram

Happy Valentine's Day

Fall Sun

Outfit Details:

Airforce Jacket: vintage

Shirt: Forever21

Jeans: Jennyfer from Belgium

Shoes: Target

Purse: Marc's

Bracelets: Charming Charlie and from Belgium

Necklace: Forever21

Cat: Oublie & Skittles

I love over-sized shirts with skinny jeans. Plus, the necklace gives the outfit a kind of fancy tinge. This is one of my favorite lazy day outfits. I tend not to photograph these, as they are lazy days. I'm more comfortable in skirts and tights than jeans, which is a big change from just two years ago. I still like jeans for days where I prefer not to have to think about what I am wearing. 

It's been amazing the way the weather has been flip flopping around. It was in the thirties a few days ago and it came back up to the fifties today. These were taken on a day it might have reached high sixties, which is unusual for November in the mid-west. But I suppose it will grow cold soon enough, which will test my runner's commitment. Time to stock up on winter coats!
