Storms Rolling

 Happy Sunday readers! It's a stormy, and cloudy Sunday. The weather is trying to cool down but not quite. I got this lovely floral smock dress this week at T.J. MAXX as a gift from my boyfriend's sister. It really gives off a vintage 60s vibe and I dig it! She's a sweetheart. It was a nice belated birthday present. I also picked up a leopard print high low dress with that T.J. MAXX gift card I got. I pair this dress with a sweet sequined peter pan collared shirt, periwinkle patch work tights and suede ankle boots. Also I finally am wearing those lovely cat eye frames gifted by Dan's mom. They really are growing on me.  I know it may not look it in this photo but I have not been feeling well and the weather really does not help. Hoping the start of this new week will bring better days.

Plato's Closet: Style Remix

Hello! Today is my second week of Style Remix Wednesday. This outfit was chosen because I have worn this dress a bunch of times and did not know what to do with it. Truly it is more so one of my fall pieces because it is easier to layer in the cooler months. But since I am wearing my end of summer and pre-fall items I figured why not do a fall preview. They last time I wore this I wore opaque green tights with brown lace up boots, cardigan, a scarf and a knitted hat. This time around I chose to pair it with a sequined blouse worn beneath the dress with T-strap Mary Jane pumps for a more vintage feel. I feel that when wearing a classic vintage inspired ensemble, less is more. When accessorizing go for the bare minimum. Some rings and things, a small necklace or a head scarf(which I chose not to wear because I wanted to show off my faux beehive). Here are details from the rest of my outfit.

I also was lucky enough to plan out my day to capture the best lighting during the magic hour. To be honest my photo shoots with Dan are getting better and better every time we go out to shoot. I am so glad he is learning so quickly. As I am learning so many new things about the wonders of photoshop filters and text within frame. I feel like my work is becoming more professional and for that I am proud of my progress thus far. I can wait to dive in this semester with Illustrator and such. Here are the close up details of my outfit.

Sunday Friend Day: We Be Jammin'!

So yesterday my best friend Ashlee and I went to Starbucks and had a chat. It was lovely. The weather wasn't too bad and we got to take some fun photos together and she took my outfit photos! I must say I envy her camera. It was the most glorious photography I feel I have taken in a long time. I think I need a lens upgrade. Anyway, here is my Outfit.

Outfit Details:
Mint Lace Peter Pan Dress: Ross (Believe it or not!)
Love Punched Belt: Thrifted
Vintage Lavender Suede Loafers - Terry Lewis Classical Luxuries (Thrifted)
Head Scarf: LoveCulture
Squirrel-y Love Charm Necklace: Handmade
Floral Purse: Target :3
Rounded Sunnies: Rue 21 More Details below at the end of the photos.

So somehow Ashlee and I coordinated our outfits. We always unintentionally end up coordinating in colors. I feel like I could be 5,000 miles away from her and we would still end up wearing the same color scheme or matching in stylistic directions. We both have a distinct eclectic style which varies from time to time. Yet some how we stay on the same page. Anyway, we are thinking this will become a weekly thing for us. I look forward to some more funday in my Sundays.

Happy Monday!
