Straight outa London

Week before spring break is CRAZY. I wore this yesterday. I thought this dress would be fine with tights because it’s lined, but the FABRIC! It stuck to my tights and I was tugging in down as it rode up aaaaall day. The dress my mom just brought me when she visited. The shoes are an awesome consignment store find (brand new, originally very expensive shoes, super cute, made my day). The purse I recently bought on Etsy (vintage). My friends told me I look like I came straight out of London (or something to that effect). I’ll consider that a compliment.

Birthday Celebrations!

YAY!
This is what I wore on my birthday (Thursday). Let’s see, apart from the usual – class and work – I went to a burger and beer place in town with my housemates. It’s rather ironic, since I’m not AT ALL a beer and burger person. But they’re pretty famous in town for their weird specialty burgers (for example, Monday’s special burger is served on a glazed doughnut – probably the weirdest special), their sweet potato fries, and their fried oreos. It was our first time there, and it was yummy. I also went with my friend to audition for a part in another friend’s movie that I’m the script supervisor for (she auditioned, not me). It was about 2 hours of watching acting, but it was really fun/funny. They did some improv that was hilarious. This weekend, my mom is here. We did a bunch of eating and a bunch of shopping. In two days, we had Ethiopian food, Indian food, Japanese food, and “down home” (southern) food. It was ALL delicious. I also got some cool consignment shop finds that may be featured soon! Be excited.

Yes, I shamelessly snatched her look. I had all the pieces (minus the adorable hat, unfortunately), so I couldn’t resist. Hey, that’s why I follow other bloggers…ideas.
Wanna see other ways I’ve styled this skirt? skirt, skirt, skirt

Steampunk
Posted: February 21, 2012 Filed under: Casual Outfits, Cool Weather Outfits | Tags: boots, brown, green, ivory, lace, olive, polka dots, scarf, secondhand, skirt, steampunk, tights 5 Comments »Somehow, throughout the course of my entire 22 years of existence, I have never heard Mardi Gras referred to as Fat Tuesday…until today. According to Wikipedia, it refers to “the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods…”, so I guess my eating of graham crackers and nutella right now is appropriate (though I’m not fasting tomorrow…but does that really matter?)
I was slightly hesitant to wear this outfit. I grew up thinking short boots + dresses = no no, and socks + tights = no no. I had to let my style blogger instincts (in other words, my knowledge of other bloggers who have successfully done these things) take over and break those unwritten rules. I got many many compliments on my outfit (which I’m 99% sure were genuine, not mocking, haha). My friend told me I looked kind of steampunkish and suggested that I need some brass goggles. Ha. This outfit did grow on me, though. I like it a lot.
Wanna see these pieces styled differently? top, skirt, skirt. Which is your favorite?

Have you ever noticed that no matter how wonderful of a day you have, it’s what happens at the very end of the day that determines your outlook on it? Maybe it’s just me. I spent my morning putting up a fiber arts installation with some classmates and got to leave class early, my later class was cancelled so I got the whole afternoon off, I ordered a bunch of stuff I’ve been needing to buy for a while (fun stuff), I went on a little shopping trip (Michael’s!) with a friend and ate some homemade black raspberry ice cream in a cinnamon waffle cone (yuuuuuum), and I watched Doctor Who. Sounds great, right? Well, I found out tonight that I was not the winner in a logo competition I entered. Big deal, I know. I just got third place in an INTERNATIONAL competition last week; I have no reason to complain. But I have a few weaknesses: I’m overly ambitious, I’m competitive when it comes to art/design, and I sometimes tend to have too much confidence in myself (in certain areas, like art). In too high concentrations, these things hurt because they mean I’m also disappointed way too easily. I keep telling myself “stop it! get over it! NOT a big deal!” but yes, I’m disappointed. I have my reasons for being so bent on winning this competition, but still…Someone train me to not let petty things like this bother me!
On a happier note, I’m going to beautiful Ireland this summer with one of my best friends! Beyond excited!
Now here’s what you’re really here for: my outfit.

Here are some links to check out this weekend!
Madewell’s spring lookbook is fun. You, like me, probably can’t afford to shop there, but it’s great outfit inspiration.
This commercial is fabulous…concept, execution, animation, and all.
Goats develop accents. Random. I know.
Make an awesome t-shirt necklace! (I’ve featured one in previous posts)
This song is still stuck in my head. Thank you, dear friends who showed this to me. Don’t ask. It’s a lot more entertaining if you are familiar with Toby Turner.
I Love Doctor Who

Well, apart from that project at work I was supposed to get printed. That large format printer hates me. I won’t go into the details, but it didn’t get printed. It’s supposed to be done by Monday, so I’m not sure what I’m going to do. eeek!
Now I’m going to temporarily forget about it and go watch Dr. Who (season 3 finale…woooo).
