This outfit illustrates how you can mix up dressy & casual separates.  Pull the sequins out during the day!  Dress up the sweatshirt with pins!  Balance it all with a tough cuff (DIY tutorial)!  Mix it up!

Don’t you just love those “Buy, Keep, Store” pages in popular mags?  (Side note: I actually do.)  Do you ever notice that they rarely actually declare anything that was even remotely “in” to be “out”.
Check this one:

This one made me laugh.  When were camo tote bags in?  Did any of you carry one?  Ever?  I must [...]

I have been crushing on Annie Spandex’s awesome Silence & Noise vest for a while now.  While I was tempted to track it down & buy it – which is not my style – I also came across a similar vest on The Coveted that Jennine stumbled across & bought regardless of how weird it looked [...]

I found Poe’s original collar while going through some old things lately.  She was emaciated when we got her & has since double her weight so we had to buy her a new one.
Anyway, I wore it as a bracelet the other day!  I think it’s really cute & honestly was much cheaper than a [...]

I decided to take Apricot’s wonderful advice about making friends just this past week.  I joined a meetup on meetup.com.  Unlike other times I’ve joined a meetup, this time I actually went to an event!
It was a lot of fun!  I don’t even know if I can express how good it made me feel.  And how I [...]

A blogger (I can’t remember who now) recently asked on her blog which new trend you would refuse to wear.  I really couldn’t think of one offhand to post in the comments.  Later in the week this smacked me in the face.  Why?  Why?

Are they freaking serious?  I will be resisting this one as long as I possibly [...]

Here is my first uniform post.  I combined my jeans & black t-shirt with lots of accessories for a fun but still casual look.

Liz Claiborne flats, Kikit jeans, Gap tee, Art&Soul vest, Target necklaces

The vest was either $1 or $2 at TJMaxx a while back.  I bought it to make something else out of it [...]

Nothing too special here – just wearing my new scarf I scored at Target for $7.50.  It’s so soft & I love the purple & cream pattern!  Also this dress is getting too darn short on me – due to weight gain as well as (probably) some dryer shrinkage.  The waist it sitting at my ribcage right [...]
