girls’ night

  • dress: Taylor via JCPenney Outlet
  • cardigan: J.Crew (thrifted)
  • shoes: Ruche
  • purse: Coach (vintage & thrifted)
  • earrings: craft show
  • watch: Eddie Bauer

Check out the cutest little vintage Coach purse ya ever did see that I scored for five bucks at Goodwill earlier this week. I kinda like it. Plus it matches my shoes. Whose black toes also happen to match my dress. Happy coincidence. I had dinner tonight with three of my best friends, which was pretty great. And please excuse my large and unsightly bug bite on my leg. Sign of the season.

rain, rain, go away

  • blouse, belt, watch: Target
  • dress: Matty M [gift]
  • wedges: Forever 21
  • earrings: vintage

Going with a pretty heavy nautical theme seemed appropriate for today’s monsoon-y at times weather. Today would have been a good day to drink tea and read all day long… so after I finish this, I’ll probably do that for a couple of hours to make up for lost time :D

friday

  • cardigan, pants, shoes: Target
  • blouse: Marshalls
  • earrings: vintage

It’s finally Friday! Today actually went pretty quickly, I had lots to keep me busy and I got to go in late since I was at that trade show last night. Yearbooks are halfway passed out and we’ve made some good progress on ideas and organization for next year, which is exciting! Now I have one last email to send out and I’ll be home free for the weekend… sounds good to me :D

  • dress: H&M [thrifted]
  • shoes: Kelly & Katie [via DSW]
  • earrings: vintage
  • necklace: Charming Charlie
  • watch: Target

Today was another day that felt like Friday all day… also another pretty busy day - they seem to be getting marginally less busy by the day, though [marginally being the operative word]. As long as that continues to be the trend I think I’ll make it, ha. I’m so excited for this weekend! Gonna make a road trip to the beach to see some lovely college amigas :D

friday

  • dress [worn as blouse] & heels: Forever 21
  • skirt: vintage/made over
  • earrings: gift

It’s finally the weekend, hooray! I’ve got a whole list of things I feel really compelled to get done over the next couple of days. That always happens when I’m sitting at work trying to get stuff knocked out - I’m thinking of all this other stuff that would be so much fun to be working on instead. At least I have two whole days [?!?] I can take advantage of - sounds fine by me! Also, hooray for new shoes! That’s always a cause for celebration :D

hello, sunshine

  • sweater: Target
  • skirt: thrifted/made over
  • heels: Kimchi Blue [via Urban Outfitters]
  • earrings: vintage [my grandma’s]
  • necklace: With Your Heart Jewelry

Today was so pretty that I stared out the window all day at the sunshine filtering through the trees till it was time to go home, then I rode home with the top down! I think spring might finally be showing up?! Fingers crossed. Also, my cat is a pro at her glamour shots… she was trying to be in all of my pictures so I gave up and just started taking pictures of her. If I’m not a cat lady yet I must be well on my way haha.

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.

repetition

  • sweater & flats: Target
  • pants: Calvin Klein [via Marshalls]
  • earrings: vintage

I ended up having to go in to work for about an hour, so nothing too fancy today! I thought I’d already had this outfit on here, but after doing some research, I found some similar but not quite identical ones. Something that I haven’t had on here yet are these cute earrings I got when I was in NYC over spring break - got them at the Brooklyn Flea! That’s a place I could definitely use more of in my life… so much cool stuff to peruse :)

restraint

  • blouse: H&M [thrifted]
  • dress & belt: Target
  • wedges: Forever 21
  • ring: my grandma’s HS class ring
  • earrings: vintage [also my grandma’s]

I love that I can get home late and still take pictures outside now! I got to leave work a little early today and went to help my mom pick out some fabric to recover our kitchen barstool seats, and may or may not have stopped by Goodwill - y’all, I think I have a problem. Only got a couple of books and a sweet old VT mug [circa late 70s or early 80s by my mom’s estimation] though; I didn’t even look at the clothes… maybe I didn’t miss out on anything too epic!

change of scenery

  • cardigan: Cable & Gauge [via TJMaxx]
  • dress: Calvin Klein [via Marshalls]
  • belt: vintage
  • boots: Corso Como
  • earrings: gift

Made it through another week! And another month for that matter. I can’t believe it’s already March! And I’ve started to see daffodils venturing out of the ground, always a good sign :D I decided to take pictures at the end of my driveway today… maybe I should see how many days I can go without repeating a background at my house. I bet I could get a solid three weeks at the very least!
