Winter Re-Vamp: Mellow-Yellow

So for those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you might remember seeing this outfit already, but with just the skirt and the vest. But, throw in a long sleeve shirt and a pair of tights, and the outfit is perfect for winter time! 

P.S. See if you can spot a hint of my cat, Riley in one of the pictures ;)

Outfit: Earthquake!

As most of you know, yesterday we had an earthquake on the east coast. I'm sure most of you laughed at us, but hey, it was a first for most of us! I was driving at the time and felt the tremor a little, but I was mostly confused. I thought it was the bass in my music, then thought it was someone else's music, and then assumed it was just a tractor trailer going by! Yup, I had a blonde moment.

I've actually had this vest for years in this was the first time I wore it. I got it at a thrift store, and just couldn't figure out how to wear it. I've thought about giving it away or throwing it out, but always felt I'd be able to get it together one day. Yesterday was that day! Mr. Jean Vest, you will now receive all of the love and attention I failed to give you all these years.

Outfit: I've Got Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

So, I know I said I'd swear off orange for a bit, but that didn't last very long. I wore this on Sunday. It's a sixties style dress (from H&M's new fall collection!) and I tried to do my makeup like Twiggy's, but that was a big 'ole fail and a half. The Twiggy Eye is more complicated than it looks!

The purse used to be my grandmother's. It's so cute and unique, right? The only problem is, I can't carry too much in such a tiny bag, and so I usually have to sacrifice some of the things I carry that day. Like my book and my DS :(

And here, in a true revelation of craziness, I smile insanely at a paper flower. Oh Flower, you so funny!

Later that night, I went out to eat with my cousins and wore the same dress. I switched the orange belt for a black one and wore some black flats. Voila! It was a slightly different look suitable for a casual night on the town. It's all in the accessories, Baby!

Outfit:Think I'm Stuck in a Rut

I'm starting to feel like I'm stuck in a rut for two reasons: One is that, I'm still an amateur at this whole posing for my blog thing. I kinda just stand in front of the camera and smile like a goofball. Maybe I place a hand on my hip for extra emphasis, but yeah, that's it. So, in this picture, my well-hidden awkwardness finally begins to rear its misshapen head. Guess it had to happen sooner or later!

The other reason I'm feeling like I'm stuck in a rut, is because my last few outfits have been very similar. I need to step out of the box. I'm currently obsessed with orange and it certainly is showing. So yeah, I'm going to swear it off for a week. I think I need OA: Orange Anonymous! 

But other than those two things, I kinda like this outfit. It's super bright and it's my attempt at color blocking (though in this case it's probably more like color mixing) Have a good saturday guys!
