Style Log: Hunger Mad Men Games :)

{Top/a.n.a via JC Penny :: Skirt/Thrifted :: Tights/Kmart :: Shoes/JC Penny}

 

When I put this outfit on I felt like I was channeling Joan Harris {Christina Hendricks} from Mad Men.  You know, but without all the sexy curves.  I think it's the cut of the skirt that seems "retro" to me.

Anyway, I apologize for the mini hiatus, it was unintentional.  Life just gets crazy sometimes!  I went home for St. Pat's this past weekend - did you all have a good celebration?  Brian and I went, and we took some friends with us.  It turned out to be tons of fun {albeit exhausting}!!

In other news...who's excited for the Hunger Games movie on Friday?!   THIS GIRL!!  For real, sooo excited.  I'm even planning a themed date night for it!

Have a good Wednesday!

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!!

xoxo, Kassie

P.S.  Sorry, no Friday Favorites today!

Misfit #9: The Purple Shirt Dress 

I’ve had this gal in my closet for years. I received her as a gift one year wore it a couple times, then it disappeared into the dark reaches of my small closet. The main reason I never wear it is a)the fit and b)I don’t know how to style the darn thing.

Everything I’m wearing is gifted or thrifted, woot! 

Initial Thoughts 

Does anyone else love the musical Hairspray? ‘Coz I do! I especially love the remake with John Travolta, sure it’s corny at times, but it’s fantastic and overall has a great message. Anyway, I looked in the mirror this morning and thought SIXTIES. Maybe you won’t see it, but I do. So then I attempted to style my hair appropriately. I feel like a retro housewife, haha. 

After Thoughts 

I really like this outfit. I absolutely love purple and yellow {er mustard?} together. The reason I haven’t worn this purple gal much in the past is because it’s hard for me to style. I honestly didn’t think it would look good with higher collared shirts, but I love it with this turtle neck! Plus, this shade of purple is just so pretty! 

Final Verdict

I’m definitely keeping this. I might get fashion block with it occasionally, but it’s an interesting and unique piece that deserves to be in my closet!
