Driving Glasses!

I have been having a hard time seeing far away lately, so I decided to go to the eye doctor. Turns out I was right about my eyes, and needed glasses for driving and other long distance activities! I got a cute pair of Tiffany (!) glasses that I'm very pleased with. I keep making the joke that it's the only Tiffany box I'll ever own, but it's probably true! The dress I wore that day is made from a parachute pantsuit I found that the thrift store, and cut off. I love it now!

Thrift Store Magic

I went to my favorite thrift store not long ago, and found a bunch of new wonderful items that I'll be wearing in the weeks to come. One of them was this dress, which started out as a massive muumuu type sack, and I turned it into a stylish sundress. I don't think there is anything more satisfying than paying $3 for an item that turns out to be unique and fashionable after just a few snips! I just adore thrifting!

Before- massive sleeves, way too long, way too big

After- short, sassy, and I turned the cut off hem into a belt

I ended up wearing it without the belt when I went out, and I still felt cute and comfortable.

Unofficial Celebration

My boyfriend and I had a LivingSocial coupon to use, so we decided since it was our 1 year and 4 month anniversary, we would use it for an unofficial celebration. We celebrated every month up until a year, and we still tell each other every month on the 17th that it was the best however many months of our lives :) I still feel incredibly blessed and happy, and I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else.

I turned my pool hair into a side pony again, and added a flower clip.
Outside at Terra Nostra for dinner.
My go-to pink makeup look, which I did a tutorial of here.

I was so excited to finally get to wear my bandage dress! I want more.

Nothing New

Nothing is new about this outfit, in that it is all either vintage, thrifted, or discounted. I guess that is the case with most of my outfits, but usually I include at least one Forever 21 item. I wore this to my friend Sarah Jane's board game party, which was a complete blast. Headbandz is my new favorite game!

My eyes were violent red in the above photo, and wouldn't edit out, so I went crazy and added a nebula...hahaha

dress- thrifted, heels- Paris Hilton but acquired from TJMaxx, belt- from another dress, necklaces- vintage

mardi gras!

Sorry I've been super lax on the posting, I was in fabulous Las Vegas for my twinsie's birthday! Pics from that coming soon :) A few days before I left, it was Fat Tuesday so I dressed the part. I wasn't in love with this outfit, but I liked the concept. I ate at the Melting Pot with my mom, and it was delicious as always! The mask is from when I went to New Orleans this past summer!

Errand Day

I wore this to go shopping for groceries at Aldi, where my roommate works. I purposefully bought lots of healthy things so I can lose the 5 pounds I've gained, but then turned around and went to 5 Guys for lunch! I am so in need of motivation.

i have decided (yes i realize i do this a lot) that i am officially back into style/outfit blogging! i am inspired by my twinsie, and i plan to take outfit pictures every day and post them, even if no one wants to see them :) anyway, these are some outfits from the past few months. the pictures aren't that great for most of them, but from now on i will use the tripod and not my phone! haha. these are slightly out of order, forgive me.
