Vintage Red Fall

So I had to get this outfit post up as soon as possible as I have almost never gotten so many comments as on this outfit. I had been eyeing this skirt in my closet for the past week wanting to wear it, but unsure as how to make it appropriate for work. Or wait until the weekend, but when I really want to wear something I usually can't wait. I need to wear it now. I have no patience. Yep. And so this morning I made it work. After, you know, playing with my clothes for like 45 minutes. 

Haha, this looks like a graduation pic. But really, I was playing in the leaves.

Sweater: Forever 21

Tank: Kohls

Skirt: Vintage, via my mother-in-law

Tights: Kohls

Belt: Kohls

Socks: Target

Boots: Born

Necklace: American Eagle

Bracelets: Forever 21, Burlington Coat Factory

To dress the skirt up I added a silk tank, which dresses anything up, as does a sweater, my go to for anything more work appropriate. I live in sweaters for work. I didn't wear the boots to work, not sure if I can actually, but I did wear a simple pair of flats (minus the socks as well). Can't go wrong with flats!

Love wearing vintage, as well. If you can hunt anything down like this skirt, it's delightful having something a little different than anyone.

Striped Sunday?

Lets bring some relaxed Sunday-ness to this Tired Tuesday.

Stripes on stripes, again. Should I call it Striped Sunday?

Yoga? Or calling on the Autumn Gods?

Tank: Forever 21

Longer Tank: Gift from me mum

Cardigan: Thrifted

Leggins: Under Armor

Shoes: What shoes? Who wears shoes on a sand bar in a river?

Sunglasses: Target

WooWoooo! Standing on a little sand bar on the Dead River. These pictures were taken on a Sunday where I just throw on whatever for the long study session that usually is Sunday. But, as you can see, that doesn't always happen. 

Hopefully these nice outdoor photos and colorful stripes brought something to this kinda blah Tuesday. Wish it were the weekend again.

Lace and Hay

This weekend I went to an outdoor wedding where the reception was held in a barn. Now hearing details I was a little skeptical of how this wedding was going to turn out. When I think barn I think...animals, hay, kinda dirty...But it turned out beautiful especially the outdoor ceremony in an apple orchard.

I thought the lace on top of the hay bales was brilliant and actually quite comfy. 

A shot of the ceiling in the barn.

My husband standing in the corn fields that surrounded this farm. Oh, how silly.

Sorry no outfit post. I pretty much went to my go to outfit lately for quickly dressing up as this wedding was a little bit of a last minute decision. I have posted about it before here and here. But there is a crooked shot of the "Carrie" necklace my sister got me!

And the shoes the bride was wearing...curious no? I thought they were an interesting pick. The decorations had an antique feeling to it all, then she wears these Baroque style shoes. 

However, for all of this, regardless of whether you like it or not, I admired it and the bride for doing her own thing and not being afraid to do it. It's one of the reasons why I started this blog, to be more outgoing and try harder to not be afraid of showing people who I am. 

In two weeks I have another wedding to attend which will be the complete opposite of this wedding. And I wonder what I will wear... I have to wear something different than my lately go-to outfit, otherwise how boring, right?

Purple. De-lightful.

So I found that when I skip class I have time to write a post. When really I should be doing homework, or cleaning, or something a little more productive, especially since I have only been able to get the bare minimum done. I will write this and then go vacuum. I promise my poor dirty carpets.

Here is an outfit for work. Can you tell I like purple? Love it. More purple is always a good thing.

Sweater: Gap

Skirt: Charlotte Russe

Tights: Shopko

Belt: Forever 21

Necklace: Not sure...

Watch: American Eagle

Heels: Payless

Like that nail polish. It's a nice pop of color, along with the watch, particularly when all the other colors are so dark.

Looking at these pictures makes me realize that I need to set up a space in my apartment where I can take a picture, some sort of plain background. Especially since winter is approaching and the days are getting shorter. I can't just stand outside in the freezing cold posing for some pictures. Unless it's in my parka. If I had a parka...

Anyone have some great plans for these last nice days?

Argh...My pirate shirt

With each week that passes I love the location of my apartment. Its right next to the bike path, across the road is wide open fields for our dog to run around and behind that are these trails: the Noquamenon Trails that run along the Dead River. It's gorgeous; we get to let our puppy run around and splash in the water. And hopefully before the snow falls, a little fishing.

This long sleeve white shirt is referred to as by my sister's as my pirate shirt. But I like it. It feels so pretty and delicate and with the lace tank layered over it. Very feminine. 

Look at those sleeves!

Found on the path. Stan, who are you?

My puppy just ran into the water and sat down. Just plop against the little sand bar.

My husband and I!
