Knot It Up

 

This pale pink skirt is much harder to wear than I thought it would be. I can't tuck anything into it because there's no room it's so sheer. I wanted to wear it differently than last time, so I decided to turn to my favorite fashion blogs for some inspiration. Kendi from Kendi Everyday, along with Jessica from What I Wore and Beth from B.Jones Style, are all more of an inspiration to me than any magazine or trend report. They are all real women who find ways to make getting dressed a little more fun. 

I remembered a recent outfit that Kendi posted in which she wore her t-shirt knotted up instead of tucking it into her skirt. Since my tank top was way too bunchy and noticeable tucked in, I decided to tie it in a knot. What a simple solution! My roommate, Jackie, said it looks like a little rose. I didn't even realize it at first, but I think that's why it works so well with the floral lace skirt.

Any other ideas for how to wear this skirt? I feel like I'm stuck with this one.

On Wednesday, I wore an Old Navy tank top, Forever 21 skirt, the first vintage necklace I ever bought on Jackson Street in Harlingen, Texas, and Bakers sandals,

Party Hardy

I started partying earlier than usual this week. It was one of my good friend's birthdays yesterday, so we all met for dinner at Moonshine Grill. Mmmmm, I love that place. The festivities included stopping by Luster Pearl for a couple of drinks and then ending up at a house party. It was a fun night, but I'm glad we left early and were home by 12:30 a.m. I've got lots of fun plans with friends over the next few days, so I need to keep my strength up.

I wasn't sure if this outfit was festive enough to celebrate a birthday, but I was already wearing the shirt and shoes. It was easier to just switch out my denim cutoffs for a cute pleated skirt. I think the shoes kept this outfit from looking too much like a school uniform. These shoes, which only cost $4, are one of my latest thrifted treasures.

On Tuesday, I wore a Gap skirt, a Westbound shirt from Goodwill, and Pappagallo flats from Family Thrift Center.

My Future is Near

 

I've been thinking a lot about graduation, or more specifically, how I'm not ready for it. At least, not mentally. I've been a student my whole life and now they expect me to just waltz right into a job? I wish it were that easy. Of course, there's grad school, but I really am tired of being a student. I want a salary!

It's scary to think that I have no idea where I'll be next January. Of course, the uncertainty is also very exciting. Hopefully, I'll find the perfect job that pays well and makes me happy.

On Monday, I wore an Isaac Mizrahi for Target dress from Goodwill, a necklace from Target and Steve Madden wedges.
