Leopard Print Skirts

Charlotte Russe Skirt, Aldo Bag, Rag Doll Studded Flats 

Leopard print, oh, leopard print. I imagine for years to come that leopard will be a 'basic' closet necessity. It spices up any outfit no matter what look really, minimalist, glam, sexy, edgy, etc. I got this skirt a while ago from Charlotte Russe and I love it really for both summer and winter. I of course had to feature my spiked flats once again because I am smitten over them! They're available at Rag Doll for $35 (forgive me for the shameless promoting :P) 

I really have to work on my messages for each post. I guess what I've been reading about a lot, due to some IFB drama, is the terms, definitions and desires of 'top tier' bloggers. You know, the ones we lust over? I admit I was caught up in it for a while, but I realized that it isn't who I am. So you truly have to blog because you love it and I do! 

Long Time, No See

Something I haven't done in forever... an outfit post! Mostly due to me trying to find a new location. I tried my backyard. Eh, not the prettiest! Anywho, summer has been ultra hot, but I found a day cool enough to rock this thin vintage button up! How do you guys like the location? Good or find a new? One thing on my to-do list is revamp my blog and escape the 'Part-Time Blogger Blues' as I like to call it. 

I also want to thank everyone who entered the RagDoll giveaway!The winner will be announced tomorrow! Good luck! (:

I've Loved And I've Lost

After packing, working and moving I'm finally back and ready to start the semester. Christmas and New Years was great. I also hosted a giveaway (another soon, hmm?) I wore this outfit to work. I love the hat. I always get compliments on it, plus it's great for bad hair days! And excuse my chipped nail polish! How do you like it?

Fall Socks!

As much as I love summer, I am so excited for fall! One thing I can't wait to wear are cute socks. I really want to layer them with boots and dress up some loafers in a fun way. And I'm all about interesting dresses/skirts with tights. It's just an adorable look. I picked up these socks from Aldo for $2.98! They're from last season, but a lot of the patterns are being carried over into Fall 2011.

How are you wearing socks this season?

You're My Sugar Dandy

I haven't done an outfit shoot in a while! This is about a week old because I was super busy working for the US Open Golf Championship last week. Now I'm back on the map! (: So I was dying to wear this vintage skirt I came across thrifting. It is too big but with the help of pins and the belt I got it to work! I also found the perfect top to make it look modern and chic. It was one of the few nice days that didn't happen during the heat wave that's just draining the energy out of everyone. Now I want more maxi-skirts, dresses and even an all black maxi-jump suit! (:

Denim Alert: Would You Wear It?

I think this $40 Dollhouse Denim Dress is adorable. Pair with some heels and a fedora it'd be perfect for a cool and comfy day.

Would you wear it?

 

Green Zebra Top & Black Bottoms

Whenever I go out, I love the do it in some comfy clothes, especially bottoms and shoes. It's just more logical and you can look cute and have more fun NOT worrying about how uncomfortable you are. I'm not a huge fan of the 'nerd' glasses either, but why not? Did I mention that I'm in love with my oxford flats? I really want a pair of cutout ones by Jeffery Campbell for the warmer weather. I am becoming a fan of high waisted pants and printed tops too; so chic. So what do you think, loves?

Cozy Sweaters

Right now I'm obsessed with  cozy sweaters, espically since its getting colder. A cute and cozy sweater is a terrific alternative to hoodies; there's nothing wrong with hoodies, but looking cute in the cold is possible! Here are some cozy sweaters I dug up. I recently bough the 4th one from Old Navy. It's super cute! :)

 

Sweaters are from American Eagle, Wet Seal, Top Shop, Old Navy, Delia*s, H&M, Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe.
