  • dress: Matty M [gift]
  • sandals: Marshalls
  • shades & watch: Target
  • earrings: gift

In retrospect, I suppose I should have worn this to graduation tomorrow, since it’s all school colors. I did always like that color combination. Too bad an outfit like this wouldn’t have passed for rep dress… I would have been a much happier camper. But let’s be real, I didn’t dress up all that much in high school anyway; I was more of the jeans + hoodie all day erryday persuasion. Thank goodness I outgrew that!

yup… it’s still raining.

  • blazer: The Limited [thrifted]
  • dress & scarf: Target
  • leggings: Hue
  • boots: Zara
  • earrings: gift

My outfit matches the weather… but the scarf is me hoping that the sun will decide to come back asap! All this rain is definitely putting a damper [heh look at me making puns] on taking outfit pictures. At least today has downgraded to a light rain vs the downpour/intermittent hail that was happening when I got home from work yesterday. Ain’t nobody got time for being out in that mess.

  • top: H&M
  • skirt: thrifted/made over
  • wedges: Forever 21
  • scarf & watch: Target
  • earrings: gift

Everything is finally all pretty and green outside! And I think the pollen might be mostly washed away after the rain we’ve had over the past couple of days… fingers crossed. I’m excited for my day off tomorrow - I went to JoAnn’s after work to get some fabric for my newest project, which you will most likely be seeing on here soon :D

progress

  • top: H&M
  • pants & flats: Target
  • scarf: thrifted
  • earrings: DIY

Another super busy but somewhat productive day… I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s pretty much gonna be a marathon until exams, but at least that’s only two weeks away. I can’t believe how fast this school year has gone! So crazy.

out of storage

  • skirt: JCPenney Outlet
  • shirt: Gap (thrifted)
  • scarf: thrifted
  • shoes: Target
  • belt: Banana Republic (thrifted)
  • earrings: handmade

It was a chilly Monday (temps have been down in the 30s at night!) but I actually wore this a couple weeks ago and never got around to posting. This skirt was one of my favorites last year and I think that will continue to hold true this season. My grandparents are visiting for a few days so I’m spending the evening eating cookies and watching HGTV with them. Not a bad way to spend a Monday.

spring snow

  • sweater: Worthington via JCPenney Outlet
  • pants: Calvin Klein via TJMaxx
  • jacket: Eddie Bauer
  • scarf: TJMaxx
  • shoes: Target
  • earrings: craft show

These pictures are actually from a week or so ago, but if I had taken pictures today, you would have seen that it was pouring down snow & sleet here today. Reports of lots of wrecks, and an early closing from work. I made it home safely, but I was sad to have to cancel girls’ night out tonight. (Also, I cannot believe I’m still using the words “sweater” and “snow” in April.)

work by any other name

image

  • jacket: L.L.Bean
  • scarf: Ann Taylor Loft
  • shirt: Target via JCPenney Outlet
  • pants: Dalia Collection via TJMaxx
  • shoes; Indigo by Clarks
  • earrings: craft show

So I had this meeting with this dude today about a grant and when I asked him what I could do to help he said “just help me massage the verbiage.” … So that’s what I’ll be busy doing tomorrow - massaging the grant narrative this guy wrote. Otherwise known as editing/writing. Also, it was really windy today, which explains the dramatic hair fling in the next picture.

bloom

  • cardigan: Belks?
  • dress: Taylor via JCPenney Outlet
  • scarf: Noma (gift)
  • shoes: Indigo by Clarks
  • earrings: craft show

My mom scored a crazy deal on this hand-dyed scarf for me for my birthday. And the fact that it was warm enough today to forego tights. And things are starting to bloom finally! I didn’t get Easter Monday off like a lot of people, but I did have a productive day at work and a really nice run in the spring weather after that. It’s going to be a good week.

color wheel

  • sweater: Nordstrom Rack
  • pants: Not Your Daughter’s Jeans [via Nordstrom]
  • tank top: JCPenney Outlet
  • shoes: Me Too [via DSW]
  • scarf: gift

We convinced Megan to join us for another guest post a couple of weeks ago after dinner one night :) Loooove these colors in her outfit - they’re a perfect choice for transitioning to warmer weather, especially her pants… such a pretty shade of turquoise! Makes me think of summertime and the beach… but I guess I better not get too far ahead of myself :D

supervision

  • trench coat: Target
  • cardigan: JCPenney Outlet
  • blouse: Eddie Bauer
  • scarf: vintage, thrifted
  • tights: Spanx
  • shoes: Indigo by Clarks
  • earrings: craft show
  • bag: Aigner via TJMaxx
  • belt: thrifted

Guess who got a new boss today? This girl. It’s always slightly nerve wracking to get a new supervisor, but I think it’ll be a positive change. I also had dinner with Cait tonight, and I love that we both managed to sneak in some black & white polka dots. Also, (way behind the times but because I literally just saw it on TV while typing this) have you guys seen the Gangnam Style pistachio commercial? It makes me almost as happy as this goldfish singing No Diggity. It’s the little things, guys.
