Well hello there, fall. I've been waiting.

Go ahead. Bring on some not too hot, not too cold, but just right.

scarf - vintage, estate sale
shirt - Ross

Let's do this thing.

Happy first day of fall, everyone.

so long summer

These pictures were taken last week, when it was much warmer than it is today.



shirt: vintage, estate sale
pants: Wet Seal, from years ago
sandals: Seychilles

I can't say that I'll miss summer. It was record breaking.



I'm not about breaking records when it comes to heat.



So long summer.

(Props to my little photographer. I have a tripod now, so she is relieved of her duties. She does a great job, but she gets bored quick. :)

before & after

I love everything about this 50s cotton shirt, but I haven't been able to decide how to wear it and what to wear it with.


I tried this.


Not very blogworthy. So, a few tweaks later...




And voila. Much better. I love this tying the shirt at the waist thing I've seen people do, but I've been reluctant to try it. I try to spare people from my pregnancy stretch marks when I can. But why, oh why, haven't I discovered high waist pants sooner!?! Now I can show a little skin again. :)

Shirt: Vintage, Estate Sale
Shorts: Forever 21, thrifted
Shoes: Rocket Dogs

And I put some victory curls in my hair just for fun. Much better.

I love before and after pics. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning is a process. Have a lovely Wednesday, everyone!

don't think, just do

I've been meaning to start this blog for a while now, but things keep getting in the way. It's time to stop overthinking it and just do it. :)

As I tend to get dressed everyday, and most days I dress consciously, I intend for this to be mostly a style blog. I've been following some style blogs for about a year now, and I've realized it's not the vain thing I once thought it was. But I'm sure I'll also add in some thoughts from time to time about food, philosophy, and fun things to do.

Here's an outfit I wore last week.


Bear with me on the photos. Waiting to buy a tripod was one of my excuses to not start blogging yet.



My photographer is turning 4 soon. She did a good job, though, didn't she?



Dress: Vintage, Estate Sale
Belt: Vintage, Borrowed from another dress
Shoes: Steve Madden, thrifted
 There. That wasn't so bad. What was I putting this off for? See you all tomorrow.

(I'd love to hear comments and feel free to share blogging tips. :)
