Second Time Around

worn on June 14th, 2011

Remember, not too long ago, when I wore this swapped dress/skirt from Kathryn ? Well you should know that I’m kinda obsessed with that outfit. But seeing as its not my skirt, I can’t exactly wear it again. But I came across the photos yesterday, and I realized I did have a skirt with the same shape and some-what similar colors. So I gave it a shot.

EBEW: Lace

worn on June 13th, 2011

I don’t really own much for lace, so I originally thought I was going to have to sit out of this round of EBEW. But I was going through my drawers the other day and I came across forgotten tee with a pretty lace detail. Just in time!

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately. I’ve gotten the itch to start sewing again, so thats what I’ve been doing (hence the tape measure around my neck and scraps of fabric in my hair). I have some new bows to be added to the shop, and new top design I’m working on, and I even bought fabric to make a second dress for our engagement photos coming up. I’m keeping busy, busy, busy!

P.S - I finally decided to sit out this round of 30 for 30. But I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Don't They Say - Beauty Is Pain?

worn on June 7th, 2011

My bad- I had been playing around with my camera the night before, and forgot to change the ISO back for these pictures. So they are a bit grainy-er than usual. Like I said… my bad. 

I got this vintage dress on etsy a while back. I’m pretty sure it was actually made for a child, because it is so tight around my ribs that there is no way it was actually made for an adult female. I have to be very selective when I wear it. I definitely don’t wear it for long periods of time, or else I start to not be able to breathe. I know, not good. But its too cute…. so I continue to wear it.

I wore this outfit out yesterday to look for an engagement shoot dress. Well, I did get something. Just not exactly what I was originally looking to get. Oh, you will see…. in due time :)

Stupid cheap fake glasses glare. I really should get around to ordering my Warby Parkers

Our Own Harry Potter Weekend & a DIY

worn on June 4th, 2011

I’ve done this DIY before - here - with some grey trousers. But I had seen an image of denim scalloped shorts awhile back and I’ve been dying to make them. I’ve just been waiting to find a cheap pair of wide legs to do it, because I didn’t want them to be skin tight in the thighs. I found these ones at goodwill, and they fit perfect - so I knew it was time! I love ‘em. Thy just might be my new favorite shorts :)

Its very simple and there are plenty of tutorials out there! All you need is some sort of marker or fabric pencil, scissors, and fray check. And voila! I had these babies done in about a half hour.

Boo and I had a very Harry Potter filled weekend. We watched a few of the movies, read our books, and even made Butterbeer! Delicious.

That Time It Looked Like I Peed My Pants- But I Didn't

worn on June 3rd, 2011

I wore this out friday evening for dinner date night. Boo and I went to one of our favorite restaurants in Davis Square, where Boo proceeded to spill an entire glass of water all over me. I was soaked. And I sat there feeling like I had peed my pants - not a pleasant feeling.

To 30 or not to 30

worn on June 2nd, 2011

It has been so warm here lately, that when I stepped outside yesterday in this outfit I was surprised to feel a bit of a chill. And I kind of wished I had a little sweater on. I suppose it was because of the big storm the night before (we weren’t near where the tornadoes touched down, but we got some pretty crazy thunderstorms).  But hopefully we warm back up today!

Also, Kendi announced yesterday the next 30 for 30 challenge, and I’m debating on whether or not to do this one. I love doing the challenge, but I’m not sure I’m as ready to give up the rest of my closet this time for the first half of summer. Decisions, decisions.

Sunshine, Daisies, Butter Mellow...

worn on May 31st, 2011

Sushine, daisies, butter mellow… turn this stupid fat rat yellow. 

Sorry, I’ve been reading Harry Potter again. And I love Ron Weasley, but who doesn’t? Plus, it seemed appropriate with all the yellow I’m wearing. You know whats not appropriate? Making soup for dinner in this weather. It was 80 degrees out. So who would be craving french onion soup? This girl, thats who. 

p.s - I did a slight update to the appearance of the blog. I was making a new header for my etsy shop, so I figured why not :)

clutch: ? I honestly can’t remember
