I tried to not like the 70s style for so long. And then I caved. Hello high waisted pants, printed tops, and sky-high wedges. {Wearing this outfit makes me think about the beginning of th...

I am remembering how much I like texture as I get ready for my wedding and that has been showing up in my clothes lately. The chiffon skirt and the poplin top with the faux snakeskin belt mash up all...
This treasure of a vintage top came from my favorite thrift store in my college town, but I have never seemed able to pull off its proportions with anything. Let me know if you think this worked: Im ...
Dear Readers, The head space has not been what it usually is of late, and for that I apologize. I do promise to return to regularly scheduled programming as soon as possible. There have been some thi...
I feel like this dress is trying to say something. Any ideas? I think it just likes to be worn. Or at least thats what Im going with. The weather here in Tulsa has been amazing. So amazing. My ...
Fiance and I have been on a "Friends" kick lately. Our evening ritual has become dinner, Friends, and copious flower making. At least on my end. Its crazy what you can accomplish when you don...
Excuse the mess. This is what happens when I have to be at work at 8am but my outfit is still wanting to be photographed. My bedroom ladies and gentlemen, in all its middle of the week glory. I found...

I wore this outfit to work last week, but Im just getting around to posting it this weekend because life has been busy. And I have been tired. Not a great combination for getting things done. But I c...
Not the best picture, but I always forget when I go out to take pictures. This one is off someone elses camera. The poofiness of my hair is totally underwhelming in this picture. Multiply it by 10. T...
Something about having a day job makes me second guess my clothing choices. And my first Saturday of work was no exception. I realized I have no idea what the Saturday training dress code is. So this...

Today was my first day of work. Quick turnaround, I know. When I got dressed this morning I didnt realize how well my outfit represented my journey to this point in my life. Allow me to explain. ...
You know what? This outfit landed me a job. Okay, maybe not the outfit, but its what I was wearing. A job that will not only pay the bills, but looks like it will be a grand and fulfi...
