For some reason when the weather gets warmer I tend to dress a little more casual than normal. Also I start to long for my tights and boots. Luckily in these pictures it was still cold enough to wear my boots. Once I get through all my old pictures, I believe that those things will start to disappear. Which reminds me why I need to invest in shorts this year.

This is one of my favorite shirts, especially for warmer weather. I wore this outfit for an every day on the town. Some shopping, eating out, and some lounging at home. The knitted cap came in handy as my hair seemed to prefer to stick straight up most of the day, plus the wind was being a little bizarre. I love wearing earrings, but most of time mine are statement kinds, so these little owls are nice for just a day out.

Dressing Casual for Spring

Outfit Details:
Jacket & Necklace: Forever21
Shirt: Kohl's
Skirt: Wal-Mart
Tights & Shoes: Target
Bracelet & Ring: Gift

This last picture tends to depict most of my attempt at poses, right as I trip over air.

This is one of my favorite outfits. Casual while still remaining forever me. Some days choosing what to wear is tricky. Maybe because you aren't feeling dressy or nothing seems to fit your whether physically or mentally. I tend to be more comfortable in skirts rather than pants, it's just something I've grown into.

I love photographing my outfits because later on it makes it easier to think of things to wear. While I'm forever trying to think up new ways to redress something, it's nice to remember those outfits that were your favorite, should you ever need an outfit in a jiffy. Fashion blogs are great, because it helps to see real people styling pieces like you never would have thought to. Our minds aren't wired the same and a fresh look helps to change things up and challenge our limits. This doesn't just go for style, but for everything. Life would be boring if everyone looked at things the same.

Hope you all have a good week!

Movie Night Attire

Outfit Details:
Jacket: Wetseal
Dress/Top: Forever21
Skirt: Made by me
Tights & Shoes & Gloves: Target
Necklace charm & Bracelet: gift

So while it isn't a movie, my most recent obsession has been the science fiction TV show Eureka. It's parasitic  I've had a hard time watching anything else because this awesome, quirky show is so good. It's my kind of show, where the characters have great depth and the stories are unusual. I'm trying to get everyone I know addicted to it. 

As for this outfit, it was chosen when my best friend and I went for a movie. I wanted something comfortable and easily layer-able (not a word?) for the late night. So I mixed this lace dress with my skirt. It was surprisingly comfortably, especially through out the movie, which during my waist probably expanded greatly from all the popcorn I ate. I knew I should have gotten a small instead of a medium. Popcorn, my greatest foe, after ladybugs. But that's a story for another time.
