Not That Into You Girl

Vest: Thrifted, Tank: NY&CO, Pants: Dillards, Sandals: Target

I think is one of those classic "These pants are just not that into you" things. I just can't seem to make these pants work OR feel confident when I am wearing them. There is just too much fabric. They are petite too so if I wear too much of a heel I get that wonky feeling at the ankle. The waist is a little wacky too. These pants are just not that into me. And that's ok. I'm tired of trying to make them love me.

Hello McFly Girl

Vest: Northface, Sweater: Modcloth, Tanks: NY&Co, Leggings: Kmart (hate em') Boots: Eddie Bauer

What's with the Life Preserver?

Anyhoo, bought these leggings at Kmart. I hate them. They are shiny. I just want denim like leggings. Not shiny leggings. Ugh.

Textured Girl

Outfit: Thrifted, Tights: Ebay, Shoes: Forever21

Forever21 shoes typically don't feel very nice to walk in. I don't think that's a big secret - they are cheap and you get what you pay for. I put some cushy soles in these so they would be more bearable. It has been a few weeks since I wore heels! I've been living the easy life. Since I dug out all my winter clothes I started finding things deep in the pile that I hadn't seen in a while. It kind of made me want to get dolled up. I have never worn this skirt before but it's been hanging out in my wardrobe forever. I thought it deserved to see the light of day! It has such a wonderful texture to it.

I really think a muted, mustard colored sweater would really bring out the velvet flowers in the skirt. I'll have to keep that in my memory bank.

Finding Fall

Unexpectedly, I have been running into some great fall finds on my thrifting expeditions. I say unexpected because I'm not a big fan of fall and I'm not immediately attracted to the autumn items. But I couldn't help loving these sweet little bows that I found at the Hospice thrift store! I can explain why autumn is not my favorite - its not really my fault. I was pregnant in the fall of 2006 and I had morning, noon and night "morning" sickness. Morning sickness my foot! Mine never went away. I started feeling better maybe 3 months before I gave birth. So the autumn colors and that fall feel actually makes me nauseous. Just because that's what my psyche chooses to dig up about the fall. I used to like the fall. Spring is my actually favorite because I the air is sweet, the sun is out, and the clothes are more feminine and airy. The heavy fabrics of the fall sometimes make me feel overwhelmed. But I am going to try to do a lot of remixing this year and not completely pack up my summer stuff. I will try lots of layering and thick tights with skirts I can't bare to pack up.

The only things that were not in my humongous score yesterday is the necklace, shoes and tights. I'm actually really excited to wear this outfit. I think I'm going to have to break out this levi's shirt sooner rather than later!
