I keep meaning to include more pictures of my extremely well-dressed friends, but I always forget until after they leave. I’ve been getting better though, so here’s a few different friends looking crazy styling!
Here is the lovely Maya Lou who I accosted with my camera as she was running out the door to work. I love how full this skirt is and we won’t even go into how jealous I am of the padlock watch necklace.
Since I got so many awesome skirts in Nashville, it hasn’t been too hard for me to put together some pretty decent combos. However, I realize that I’ve been building outfits around one piece a little too completely, such as this outfit. It’s the lazy thing that I am tempted to do constantly. Don’t get me wrong, I really like the simplicity of it in a way, but I want to branch out more and challenge myself.
The bummer about this outfit was that the t-shirt I chose kept stretching out more and more, so by the end of the day my sleeves were down past the end of my hands! (Hence the hands in pockets pose.)
WHAT: silver bourbon necklace, made by me!
dark green t, thrift
anchor belt, chicken lays an egg
plaid skirt (altered by me), lion’s thrift (nashville)
gray tights, tj maxx
red boots, thrift
WHERE: work and playing in the slightly warm weather
WHEN: tuesday, march 2
I know haven’t been putting good time into my little blog lately, and I am making a concerted effort to change that. I realized yesterday that this month is my blog’s six month birthday, and I want to make sure I put as much love and energy as I did at day one. Although like all things with a human touch, there are bound to be peaks and valleys.
I recently dug up a book of poetry by Jeffery McDaniel that I used to be obsessed with. He writes such gritty, beautiful poems. I was once an English major who dreamed of having poems tattooed all over my arms. Although I was also 19. But words used to evoke a deep fervor in me that I haven’t felt in a long time. I forgot my love of words long before I quit college, but I would really like to reawaken that part of myself. This one is by Derrick Brown, it’s one of my favorites.

Tonight
I think it is safe to say we drank too much.
Must I apologize for the volume in my slobber?
Must I apologize for the best dance moves ever?
No.
Booze is my tuition to clown college.
I swung at your purse.
It was staring at me.
In outfit news- today I went for total comfort and ease with my boyfriend’s plaid shirt and some tights. I’ve been feeling guilty about how little I have worn these boots since I bought them, so I am making a conscious effort. I was pretty happy with how this looked though, and it was super comfy.
WHAT: vintage plaid shirt, stolen from my boy
skinny belt, chicken lays an egg
navy tights, rainbow
leather boots, dsw
WHERE: work at the library and drinks with some old friends
WHEN: thursday, february 5
