Ridiculous Monday
Sweater: Gap / Shirt: Old Navy / Skirt: Gap / Tights: ?? / Boots: Restricted
First of all let me say I know how ridiculous this photo is. But a funny ridiculous, right? And I can live with funny ridiculous.
Second of all I thought the world was going to end this morning. I woke up at 5:30 am to a crazy thunderstorm. I thought the rain was going to break my window, it was insane. My cure?...

The Little Gray Dress
So I planned on making four outfits today because 1.) I meant to post yesterday but it was crazy busy and 2.) I wanted to do some serious remixing. Remember how I was talking complaining a few weeks ago about wanting to wear the rest of my clothes in my closet? Don’t get me wrong because I still do but making up these outfits below was so much fun! It also helped that it was almost 60 (!)...
Random Thoughts
Sweater: Gap / Shirt: Old Navy / Shorts: Gap / Tights: Target / Heels: UO / Belt: H&M
Did you know Cheetos were invented in 1948? This is the only random thought I have for today.
I don’t think I have ever been so happy that it’s Friday. Thank goodness for the weekend.
Completely Stuffed
Top: LOFT / Cardigan: Target / Jeans: F21 / Boots: Steve Madden / Belt: H&M
Between yesterday and today I have eaten at my favorite restaurants in Columbus and all with my favorite people. I’m a lucky gal. These photos were taken in the best damn ice cream place in town, Jeni’s. I wish I could describe just how delicious this is but I can’t without shoving scoops of it...
Life in the Fast Lane
Dress: H&M / Sweater: Gift / Tights: Target / Heels: UO / Jacket: TJ Maxx
Yesterday was a little nutty. I had yesterday off because I had to go to some appointments. Even though I had to get stuff done it was still nice to just bum around after and kind of do whatever. I haven’t been able to do that in a while. I also had dinner with my dear friend Bailey and that was the best...
You May Call Me a Cheater
First off, this is what I had for breakfast…for FREE!
I didn’t steal this. Our company held a big breakfast this morning to celebrate a great year. It was delicious. Ok, onto the outfit.
Sweater: gift, Gap / Jeans: Gap / Boots: Steve Madden / Necklace: Forever 21
If you look closely at this outfit you’ll realize two things. 1.) I have worn this ensemble, jeans, boots, top...
It's Always Something
Shirt: Gap / Cardigan: Target / Jeans: F21 / Boots: Steve Madden
I felt very Gilda today. This morning I let my hair air dry which makes it big and wavy and that also reminds me Gilda R. Also, watching all those SNL reruns from the 70’s this weekend really influenced my outfit. The only thing I’m missing is wide leg flare jeans. Don’t worry though, I found a pair over the weekend for $10 and...
Catching Up
Sweater: Gap / Jeans: Gap / Flats: Steve Madden / Scarf: thrifted / Shades: H&M
On Saturdays I like to wake up, get coffee and play catch up with relaxation. Today I went shopping. Surprise! I enjoy going when stores first open and no one is really there, it allows me to collect my thoughts. I found some cute things at good prices and now the time has come for me to clean out the closet...
Fancy Friday
Dress: I heart Ronson, JCP / Cardigan: Gap / Top: LOFT / Tights: Target / Flats: thrifted
Isn’t this a fancy getup for a Friday? I think so. Since we are having such nice weather I really wanted to not wear tights, or hose in this case, but the dress seemed short without them and to be more frank my legs are pale, like ghost pale and let’s be honest- no one wants to see that....
Spring?
Shirt: Target / Blazer: thrifted / Jeans: Gap / Flats: thrifted / Necklace: F21 / Belt: Gap / Bag: Sample Sale
I just woke up from a three hour nap. Wow. I must have been really tired.
This outfit was the result of having a 60 degree day in the middle of February. A white shirt and jeans are an easy way to go, especially if you don’t really feel like making much of an effort....
Half Way
Dress: H&M / Cardigan: Target / Belt: H&M / Bangles: Topshop / Flats: Steve Madden
Folks, I am half way there and this is the first time I am wearing this dress. This was the dress I wore on the first day of my job, and I still love it just as much. I never thought to pair it with yellow, I think I like this. Honestly, I love anything that is the color of mustard yellow except for...
Marc-y Marc
Shirt: Old Navy / Cardigan: Gap / Skirt: Marc by Marc Jacobs / Flats: thrifted
I feel very MJ in this outfit. He always uses tons of bright colors in his Spring shows and I just felt like this would be something he would put together. I’m celebrating him because today was the MbyMJ Fall runway show and I badly wanted to be there but alas I am in Oh not NYC. He invited me a few weeks...
D. Drapes
Hambone dressed down. I love this guy.

Wash and Repeat
Sweater: Target / Jeans: F21 / Scarf: thrifted / Heels: Urban Outfitters
Thanks for all your comments about not feeling guilty shopping. It honestly made me feel a lot better and I’m really glad we are all still friends. That makes me happy. Did I mention that I also found a Ghostbusters sweatshirt? That also makes me happy. I like being happy.
I know I wore this sweater on...
Easy Sunday
Sweater: Gap / Skirt: F21 / Boots: Restricted / Tights: ? / Scarf: H&M / Flowers: H&M
What better way to end the weekend than by sleeping in and watching Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best all day. That is exactly what I did, on my parent’s couch and I enjoyed every minute of it. I also did it in this outfit, believe it or not. My parents kept asking me why I was so...
New Philosophy
Shirt: F21 / Cardigan: Gap / Jeans: F21 / Flats: thrifted / Scarf: thrifted
I broke a rule…I went shopping. I know that part of participating in the 30 for 30 is no shopping for 30 days and while that might work for some I am not one of those people. I am more the person that when you tell me I can’t do something, that is all I think about. I’m still going to participate...
Pretty in Pink
Shirt: Loft / Blazer: thrifted / Jeans: Gap / Flats: Steve Madden / Ring: F21 / Pin: Great Grandmothers
I think I may be at a loss for words today. This is very rare.
I really love the colors in this shirt and haven’t had the right chance to wear it, so I thought I would celebrate Friday and break it out. I love the fact that I didn’t have to do a lot because it’s such...
Gap-py
Sweater: Target / Skirt: Gap / Scarf: F21 / Tights: Kohls? / Boots: Steve Madden
Even though only one of the items I am wearing is from Gap I still feel very Gap-py in this getup. Don’t you just love the Gap? I have been shopping there since 7th grade and I still have items that I wear from when I was 13! Well, the only thing I can think of at the moment is a purse I have had that I...
Whenever it feels the way it does outside (20 degrees!) I just take a look at these cute little frocks and dream of the sunny days yet to come. Seriously, I don’t think spring can get here any sooner.
All dresses from Modcloth
Pattern Play
Top: F21 / Cardigan: Target / Skirt: F21 / Heels: Urban / Belt: Goodwill
I don’t know how this outfit came together. Sometimes I just like to dress up in my own closet and when I was fooling around with the 30 clothes this just came together. I think this may be my favorite outfit of the entire remix. Yeah I’m putting it out there, a week in and this is the best I’ve got....
Function over Fashion
Coat: Target / Sweater: Gap / Shirt: Gap / Jeans: Gap / Boots: Restricted, DSW
It was a cold one today. I had shorts and tights on but as soon as I walked outside and saw that I had to clean the snow off my car I knew that idea was over. So I pulled out my trusty jeans and I’m glad I did because I was cozy and comfortable all day long. I’m thinking I just may have to double up...
Take Two
Gray Dress: I Heart Ronson / Red Dress: F21 / Cardigan: Gap / Tights: DSW / Flats: thrifted / Hat: F21
This is the little outfit I had planned for last Monday. I’m glad I was finally able to wear it today because I have been staring at it for over a week, I guess today was her day to be worn < whoa, blog drop. Anyway I originally had black tights planned out but then I thought...
$ Texas
Shirt: Old Navy / Jeans: Gap / Boots: Steve Madden / Scarf: Marc by Marc, gift
Last night my friend Patrick had a Texas themed party. I love dressing to themes so I immediately started running a list through my head of the country wear I have in my closet. Then panic hit and I remembered I am on the 30 for 30…oh.no! I soon breathed a sign of relief when I saw my gingham shirt hanging in...
Spring Inspiration
Coat: Kenneth Cole, Macys / Top: Anthro / Cardigan: Nordstrom / Belt: Nordstrom / Scarf: pashmina stand
This is my friend Alex, otherwise known as the gal who helps take a lot of my pictures. I am absolutely in love with this color combination! I think right now we are all in the retail mind of Spring, and when you live in a place where you know there is at least two more months of Winter...
No Fuss
Shirt: H&M/Cardigan: Gap/Jeans: F21/Flats: thrifted/Scarf: thrifted/Shades:Anthro
This week has just been up and down. I felt good yesterday but when I woke up this morning I felt sick again. Somehow I managed to get ready and threw this together. I feel like I have been rediscovering my scarfs, they are easy to wear and add a little something to any outfit. For instance when I...
Let's Try This Again
Cardigan: Target / Shirt: Target / Skirt: Marc by Marc / Scarf: thrifted / Boots: SM
Ok. Much better today, the way I’m feeling that is. I woke up early this morning, fixed my tumblr, ate breakfast and took some time getting ready. I thought up this combo last night but wasn’t sure how it would translate over. I knew some accessories were needed so I went through my scarfs and...
Enchantment Under the Sea Dance
Oh man, if I had a son named Marty and he traveled back in time to the 1950’s, when I was a teenager, and there happened to be a prom around that time I think I would wear this dress. Yeah, definitely.
(see dress here)
1865
Sweater: Gap / Jeans: F21 / Boots: Steve Madden / Scarf: gift
Did you know that it’s 1865 again? Really? No but I had to get ready by candle light this morning. My power went out late last night and was still off when I got up this morning. Needless to say this wasn’t what I planned on wearing today either but it’s what I grabbed, and this is the only photo I got because I...
Hello there Bert
Blazer: thrifted / Sweater: Target / Jeans: F21 / Boots: Steve Madden
When I first spotted this blazer I immediately thought of Dick Van Dyke (Bert, my favorite character) in Mary Poppins. Remember the scene where they go to into the chalk painting and have all that good clean fun? I almost pulled my pants way down and danced with cartoon penguins while singing “Jolly Holiday”....
