Valentine’s Outfit Fail

February 21, 2014 · Leave a Comment

We were told at work to wear either pink or red.  Regardless that pink is my favorite color in the world, I don’t really own that much of it wardrobe wise.  And ever since that fourth of July picture was taken at work last year in my red dress, I have avoided red.  
It was obviously not my color.  Thanks to everyone who decided to let me walk around looking like an idiot.  Oh, well there could have also been some massive water retention going on; that was the day a coworker and I decided to have a water drinking contest.  And the day a gallon and a half of water was consumed.  I recommend that to no one.  Unless you want to feel like hell for the rest of the evening.
Super hydrated, though.
Anyway, on to the outfit.

where ya goin, Laura?

because why take yourself too seriously?

skirt: Francescas // tank & cardi: Kohl’s // tights and shoes:  DSW
I thought the high-waisted trend was super cute.  Until I tried it on, and it made already gigantic hips look even bigger.  I also had a pervy driver tell me that he didn’t know my legs were so long until I wore this skirt to work.  Guess which skirt will not be making another appearance at work?!?  You got it!!
Have I mentioned that I really want to see the Legos movie?  I’m pretty sure that’s in store for my weekend!  Hope everyone has a good one!!

More Outfit Fails

February 14, 2014 · Leave a Comment

I’m starting to wonder if I could turn this into a theme.
You know, like the throw back Thursdays, what I wore Wednesdays, and my personal favorite, the Sunday Song.
But instead of all those amazing bloggers who are gorgeous no matter what they’re wearing, always have the most amazing clothes, and can make crappy light look “the hour,” I would just focus on how bad my pictures are.
I think I’m coming up with something here. 
Go with me, here.  
I can’t figure out if I’m just non photogenic, or if I actually just can’t pull off the outfits.  I even did a fairly simple one in just a white sweater and jeans, and somehow I still look ridiculous.
But I am here to share my ridiculousness, and my possibly new idea.  Failure Fridays, because why would you want to feel good on a Friday?!
Sexiest car on the street goes to that little green thing coming up on the background…

Maybe one day, I’ll learn the over the shoulder model thing?

I’m gonna just admit that I totally loved my hair this day, and am scared to admit that I’ll probably never get it to look like this again.

Just oh Lord.
I hope everyone has a happy Valentine’s Day and that your outfits don’t come out as miserable failures!

Keep the Fails A’ Comin’

February 7, 2014 · Leave a Comment

It really irks me when I think I have an awesome outfit on, and I really want to document it, and then when I do, I see the pictures, and I’m all like damn….
That looks awful!
These girls who can put on whatever they want and look amazing in it, and have no shame posting it to the interwebs are my heroes.
Because, even though I look like crap, these pictures are still going to grace this blog.  And you want to know why?  The shirt is still awesome, and it shouldn’t be punished just because it’s owner can’t take a picture to save her life.
Crazy outtake with Stell dog ruining the photo.  Or maybe I am?  yeah, for real.  she’s the cute one!

The back of this Charming Charlie top is what makes the shirt.  I can’t wait to pair it with a bralette in the summer, but to keep it work appropriate, I threw a cami under it, paired it with a pair of ankle length black pants and a pair of open toed wedges.
One day I hope I can look back and laugh at my own ridiculousness.
But I really loved the shirt damn it!  
I hope everyone’s weekend is filled with bird-covered shirts!

That Time I Tried to Do an Outfit Post, but Bombed Because I’m not a Model

December 5, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Need proof?

I feel like I’ve been putting up an awful lot of awkward photos of me recently, so what the hell?
Here’s a few more.  
Outside my house.
By my Auburn wreath.
In terrible lighting.
Big nose and all.
Plus once I got to thinking about it, I couldn’t remember where I got half of the crap I was wearing, and my friend gave me that dress because she let me wear it one night and told me I looked better in it than her.
So there ya have it folks.  Probably the one and only fashion post that I’ll attempt ever.  You’re welcome.

Garment – Kansas City

May 23, 2013 · Leave a Comment

While in Kansas City, I went to heaven.
 
It was a placed called Garment.
 
It combined two of my most favorite things:  clothing and alcohol.
 
It was a really cute boutique shop, with a bar in the middle.  The people that owned it were so sweet and helpful.  I also couldn’t leave without bringing back a few cute tops.  I probably could have bought everything in there and been completely okay with it.
 
 

 
They had this cute little chalkboard trash can outside of their store.  The two above were my favorites. 
 
Next time we’re in Kansas City, we will definitely be visiting again.
