What I Wore: Black Floral Skirt

What I Wore: Black Floral Skirt

If you follow me on Twitter, you've probably heard me gush about my recent sewing classes at StitchLab (if you are in Austin, check them out). And with good reason, because through them I now know how to make a skirt. In fact, I made the skirt in this outfit post!!...

What I Wore: Olive & Stripes

What I Wore: Olive & Stripes

What? A new actual outfit post?! Try not to be too shocked, even though I haven't done one of these in a few weeks. I just wasn't feeling it for awhile, but now I'm back! So, down to business. I have been on a serious olive kick lately (the color, not the food -...

What I Wore: Pleated Floral

If you're in search of fall outfit inspiration, you're in the wrong place. Clearly we're still in the grip of summer weather here. Or at least we were this past weekend, when I took these shots. For all I know Austin experienced a cooling spell as soon as I left. And...

What I Wore: Daydreaming

What I Wore: Daydreaming

This month, I will be (sporadically) participating in Blogtember with Jenni. Today's prompt: If you could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the world, what would you do? If I could take three months off and do anything, with money not...

What I Wore: Floral Twist

What I Wore: Floral Twist

There's something quintessentially summer about a good maxi skirt. This particular skirt has quickly become one of my favorites. It's from Honey & Lace, which has a bunch of cute options. And no I'm not being paid/compensated to say that, I just think their selection...

What I Wore: Walking Garden

What I Wore: Walking Garden

Apparently I was feeling floral yesterday. With the jeans, obviously, but also on the shrug which has a subtle burn-out floral pattern. Add the leaf necklace in, and I'm a walking garden. ๐Ÿ™‚ Though, I think, a not-in-your-face-with-my-pattern-choices one. I hope....

What I Wore: Black Floral Green

What I Wore: Black Floral Green

Today's indoor shoot brought to you by rainy-cloudy-thundery skies the last 2 days. So this is what I am, in fact, wearing this exact moment. I'm even sitting in that exact chair below (yes, you get a glimpse into my glamorous office decor, haha). I wasn't sure about...

Floral Pants 3 Ways

Floral Pants 3 Ways

I know, I know; usually today is a What I Wore post. I had planned on doing one, with my floral skinny jeans seeing as it's officially spring and all. But I ran out of time yesterday and I'm feeling under the weather today, so a photo shoot is the last thing I feel...

What I Wore: Red Buds in December

What I Wore: Red Buds in December

I wore this last week, before our little cold spell descended. A sleeveless top and light cardigan in December! This is why I live in Texas. I know in the summer I start complaining about it being over 100, but that's a price I'll gladly pay for sunny 75 degree days...
