Style Log: Hippie Tracks

 [dress/thrifted :: belt/f21 :: necklace/modcloth :: sandals/old]

I’ve come to realize that my blog has made a major [unintentional] shift...that I’m okay with. I haven’t done a style post in so long! Or a recipe post...which I would still like to do both on occasion. I have some outfit photos just waiting to be shown and I have one recipe to share. I should probably get on that. I also have some random photography I’d like to share and some not so random photography. Seriously, I need to get organized, it’s hard to find time for all the stuff I want to get done AND I’m still not unpacked from moving! Life.

Brian took these photos for me, not bad! It was nice to have them taken them for me, but I’m not going to lie...I kind of like taking them myself. I feel more relaxed or something (no offence hunny!). Regardless, it was still fun to do the shoot together and it was kind of fun editing photos I didn't take! :P Brian also made some comment about me going for a “hippie” look. Which I suppose is the case, I’d call it boho-chic but it’s all the same as far as I’m concerned. Regardless, I was comfy and cute - the perfect combo.

I do think I’ve found my new photo location. These tracks are a couple blocks from the house and are semi-remote, right on the edge of town. I mean the neighboring house can watch me, but I won’t come across too many other people, so that’s cool. :)

Style Log: Sense of Spring

{Dress/Target :: Cardi/Thrifted, Merona :: Flats/Payless :: Necklace/Modcloth}

 

I wore this last week sometime when we were having unseasonably warm weather.  It's still pretty nice out...but more like lower 50s instead of lower 70s, lol.  This purple sundress is a staple in my summer wardrobe, it's super comfy and easy to style with some leggings for work. :)  I recently bought another little sundress from F21 that I'm sure will get tons of wear!  Woot for spring!

Style Log: All Finished!! {10 & 2 Challenge}

Misfit #10: The Crazy Patterned Shirt Dress

This piece is fun, but a bit crazy and hard to style.  Again, it's too short!  What is with all these things being too short, it's not like I'm tall or anything.  Oh...and did I mention, this is the LAST item in my challenge! :)

Initial Thoughts

 I felt iffy about it.  I was worried that it was too loud {read: scared my co-workers would judge me}.  I finally ran out of time and just had to get to work, so I went!

After Thoughts

As the day went on I felt more confident and my attitude changed.  Looking at the photos I do like this outfit.  It was a bit loud...or out of the box for me, but I'm glad I wore it.  Honestly, this sort of look really feels like me.  I think I need to step out of my comfort zone more often.

Final Verdict

Keeping it!!

Have a great weekend!!

P.S.  Sorry, no Friday Favorites today!

Friday Favorites: Wish List Edition

I’m going to incorporate a “wish list” of sorts into the Friday Favorites.  Basically,  just things I’ve seen in the last couple weeks that I love and may or may not be purchasing.

My bf's sister is getting married this summer and she asked me to wear purple or gold or black.  I found this Zooey dress and fell in love.  I think I'll style it with a gold belt and gold flats.

I think this outfit worked better in theory than in reality.  I was in a rush this morning and thought it all looked cohesive in the mirror, but in the photos...eh.  Oh well, you win some and loose some!
When a co-worker saw me she exclaimed "You look like you belong at Seaton!"  Which means that I am apparently dressed to attend a private, Catholic, elementary school.  Yep.  I suppose I should take that as a compliment, right?  Aren't women always trying to look younger than their age?  :)

#15 Halfway There!

 
Holy cow, I’m halfway through my 30 for 30 challenge!! To be honest, I’m a bit shocked I’ve made it this far. For the past week or so I’ve had to have a pep talk with myself nearly everyday. Now, that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I have much more drive to see it through! However, I don’t plan on doing this challenge again any time soon...or ever. Ha! I do think I will try Feathers & Freckles 10 & 2 challenge. It will be a bit less intense and still help me learn to restyle my closet [and appropriately fill my “Donate” box].

On the outfit, I love this dress, but never wear it [obviously, it’s #15 and you are seeing it for the first time!]. This is the prime reason for including it in my 30 items. I thought the length might be a bit questionable for work, but that’s what dark tights are for, right? I’ve always subscribed to the rule that wearing dark tights gives you a few inches allowance!  Also, when I see it in the pictures it doesn't look as short as it feels.

#5 Breezy Boots

I did it. I went and took photos out in the world today! I love them! It was so much fun and I think they turned out pretty great! Of course, it was also incredibly windy outside. At one point, my tripod even started to tip over, but somehow I magically caught it. Oh well, that crazy wind blown look is in now, right?

 I really like this outfit. I don’t usually wear pink, but that’s one reason this sweater is in my 30 items. I love these boots. LOVE. I got them at Target for $30. I told you I would break the no shopping rule. I broke it and it feels so good! These shoes will be taking the place of my grey heels. I haven’t worn the grey ones yet, plus I have no clue why I even put them in my 30 items. Probably because we were having this crazy heat wave when I was selecting my items and now it’s crazy cold. I’m also switching out a couple other items [sorry], but I haven’t worn any of the switcheroos, so that’s allowed right? I’ll address the new items as the appear in outfits.

Back to the boots, best 30 bucks I’ve spent. Ever. These things are so flipping comfortable they should be illegal. I want to sleep in these boots. That’s how comfortable they are. I have planned several outfits around these boots. In fact, I will be basically living in them this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, it’s my friend’s wedding - yippee!! So, I won’t be around for a couple days. Plus, I don’t think either of my festivity outfits will be fitting into my 30 for 30, but that’s okay!

Have a great weekend!

It's MONDAY!

Don't you just love Mondays?  Don't you just love sarcasm even more?  Haha, nah Monday's aren't so bad!
Sso what shoes did I end up getting?

 

Mossimo Paisley Platform Pumps/Target

I haven't spent a lot of time in them yet, but at first test they are pretty comfortable.  Please remember that comfort [especially when referring to shoes] is completely relative.  These are 4 inch platforms, so I'm not expecting to win a dance marathon in them, but I'll be able to handle them for the wedding, the pictures and at least part of the reception. :)

I also wanted to take outfit photos today, however my sweater dress got all stretched out and looked frumpy by quitting time.  What is that about?  I don't know enough about fabrics to shop accordingly, but I hate when clothes stretch tremendously throughout the day.  So, as 4 o'clock hit on this lovely Monday I was wearing a teal sack synched with a belt. Eck.  Although, my outfit did start out cute and it was super comfy and simple.  A definite go-to for the fall months, so I recreated it on polyvore for you! :)

I'm going out of town for a conference for a couple of days, so I'll see you later this week. Hopefully, by then I can get up the photos and some notes on a DIY project I did! Yippee!!

peace, kassie
