The "Oversized" Sweater Theory

Forever 21 Coat & Sweater; Shoes (similar), Urban Outfitters Bag & Socks, Ray-Ban Sunnies

So about this sweater... As you can see it is, in fact, oversized on me. But, I got to thinking- is it really, actually oversized or am I just freakin' short? Well, I have to admit, it was pretty easy to test my theory. I just asked my roommate to try it on. We wear the same size clothes but she's about 6-7 inches taller than me. Conclusion- this sweater is, in fact, not oversized at all. But isn't it so much cuter on me since it is? Conclusion #2- there are, in fact, perks of being short. Boom. Science... (sorta). Happy Friday!

Janis in Winter Whites

Forever 21 Sweater, Thrifted Dress (worn as a skirt, similar), Free People Coat, Rag & Bone Booties, Cleobella Fringe Bag, Ray-Ban Sunnies 

Happy New Year! I hope your year is going well so far. Mine has gotten off to an awesome start. And by awesome start, I mean we went away for the weekend on a little staycation in Gruene, Texas, about an hour south of Austin. I'll be posting later this week about our stay and things to do in the area so stay tuned for that. I really like the idea of starting the new year with a vacation. Taking time to fully indulge yourself and recharge before the first full week of the new year begins and shit gets real, ya know? Plus I kinda felt like a bit of a rock star in this outfit. I had a friend recently tell me that my style reminds him of Janis Joplin. Huge compliment, of course. I was definitely channeling Janis in some whimsical white, a fur-collared coat and fringe bag. Let's rock on 2015!

Happy Holidays! I don't know about you but I'm off of work today and tomorrow and I'm really excited about it. I wore this outfit the other night to a holiday party.

Hello there. When winter hits all I want to wear are leggings. For obvious reasons. They are semi-warm and extremely comfy. I like to dress them up with a little bit of leather and a cute hat. Hoping to start blogging a little more. Weeeeee.

Almost Halloween: My Costume

Y'all. Halloween is TWO weeks away. My most favorite holiday is almost here and this year is extra special to me... I'm finally going to dress up as Penny Lane from Almost Famous! By far my favorite movie character of all time, from my favorite movie of all time. I've wanted to do this for years and I'm so glad I've decided to follow through and actually do it this time around. How great is that coat?! SO excited. What are you going to be this year??

And for your pleasure here's one of my favorite scenes when Will and Penny meet for the first time and she's wearing that famous outfit.

How I'm Spending My Weekend: Chillin'

It's Friday again! I don't know about you, but this week seemed to go by pretty fast for me. And trust, I'm not complaining. This weekend I'll be going to a STRFKR show Friday night, watching some LSU football Saturday and heading to Dallas to visit my mom Sunday (and also more football watching... Geaux Saints!). Overall a pretty chill weekend with mornings spent dreaming that I'm in a bed like this one. Although I have to admit my bed is not too shabby, so I'd say it's a pretty fair trade-off. But SRSLY where can I find this cable knit blanket?! What are your plans this weekend?

Chambray

Dress- Forever 21 (old, but similar) / Belt- Charm School Vintage in ATX (similar) / Espadrilles- Chanel / Bag- B. Makowsky (similar) / Sunnies- Marc by Marc Jacobs

I'm trying not to spend as much on clothes this summer since I'm spending a lot on other things like camping, weddings, beach trips and music events. So instead of buying a new chambray dress (which I've been wanting for a while) I just took back the one I gave my roommate earlier this year. I also did that with this dress (worn as a skirt) a couple months ago. Technically I just borrowed them back. We do live together so she can still wear them whenever she wants... except when I want to, of course. I may even put this dress back in her closet. I'm such a good friend.

And it's better than buying a new dress, although I did just buy this vintage belt from Charm School Vintage, and maybe I also bought a purse and this vintage crop top, too. But at least I saved some by not getting a new dress... right?

Mermaid Blue

Blazer- Sabo Skirt, old (similar) / Top- old (similar) / Skort- Zara / Heels- Vince Camuto (similar) / Bag- Rebecca Minkoff / Sunnies- Ray-Ban

When I won these Vince Camuto heels from Shea Marie and the sweet people over at Rank & Style I thought they were going to be a dark cobalt or deep purple color. As you can see they are anything but dark or deep, haha! I proceeded to Google this exact style and the color is in fact called 'Mermaid Blue.' I normally wouldn't buy such a bright shoe, but ever since they arrived I find myself constantly grabbing for them. Who would've thought?? With this particular outfit I decided to go with two different shades of the same color, which I love doing because it's so unexpected. And this floral blazer from Sabo Skirt goes with these two blue hues almost too perfectly, don't you think?!

P.S. I know it seems like every blogger has this Zara skort in white, but I love the cobalt blue one so much more. I don't have to worry about getting it dirty (let's be honest, I'm kind of a mess) and this color is pretty much my favorite right now.
