I think that rompers, in general, are meant to be worn around the Spring and Summertime. However, I decided to try and give my shiny denim romper a new life by wearing it during colder weather. I layered a very light pink sweater underneath then some black tights to cover my bare legs. I added my gold oxfords to continue the light and girly vibe and finished the look with my favorite accessories: a chestnut watch and heart charm necklace (:

The main focus of this outfit is the top that’s actually a mid-length dress! It has a pretty abstract flower print all over and I enjoy the modest neckline; I wanted to wear it that day however Matt and I were going bike riding. A little dress wasn’t appropriate for the situation so I decided to solve my dilemma by tucking it into a great pair of indigo jeans. I finished the look with my little black pixie boots and a chestnut watch. (:

I think that a great pair of tan trousers can be one of the best starting points for an outfit. They can be rolled up and paired with a red and white striped shirt for a casual nautical look or cuffed and with an oxford shirt for a more dressed-up office vibe. I like the relaxed fit on all of these, they’re not too tight but don’t have a super low crotch or excess pleating like others.
Many of the better colored and better fitting trousers do cost more than an average pair of pants but I think it’s worth it for the superior fit. I consider them to be a great investment for any girl’s wardrobe.

Since spring is coming around the corner (already here where we area) I decided to switch it up a bit and go with some spring colored pants. Usually they don’t appeal to me to much but if they are muted just enough they look pretty good. I wouldn’t mind investing into a nice light blue now or maybe even a faded green.
This was more of a relaxed casual outfit I put together for a day Sue Ellen and I went to the movies. This sweater is probably one of my favorite articles of clothing, as well as the sock pack I got from River Island.

This is the outfit that I wore to play putt-putt golf with Matt for Valentine’s Day (: I really like the light blue and white color palette of the main pieces. I started with a great over-sized shirt that Matt gave me and I tucked it into a white mini skirt that was layered over another white lace-y skirt to give it some fullness. Then I threw on a cute black blazer (that Matt also gave em) which added a cute collegiate style to the look. I kept the black going with a pair of tights and my black Vans oxfords. Matt also gave me a beautiful heart necklace which you can kind of see in the pictures (: (:

This outfit revolves around a great handmade lace collar that Matt and I DIY-ed! It started out as just lace ribbon but using hemming tape and a beautiful pearl button we turned it into a gorgeous detachable collar (: For the rest of the outfit I wanted to continue the sweet and girly vibe so I put a blush-colored, slightly puff-sleeved sweater over my favorite white lace skirt. To keep the cold and wind off my legs I threw on some thick black tights and finished the look with these great Vans oxfords that Matthew bought for me :D

Now that I would get more use out of a bag I’ve been looking around for some certain kinds. Originally I wanted a white bag but they are very hard to come by. I found the Clements by Freitag and it was so close to being perfect but had some big negatives. One being that it’s way out of my price range and two being that it’s a bit feminine. I then came across the white laptop bag by American Apparel which I may end up getting but I am still unsure because I don’t know if maybe white bags just suit women better then men? As for brown bags I’m really liking both these ones from Topman and Asos. They both have different feels to them so they are hard to compare. One negative about the one from Asos though is that it is synthetic leather. If I’m going to be carrying my laptop, camera, etc in it, I want it to be top quality and safe for my belongings.
I don’t own as many skirts as I’d like to and I think that simple circle skirts would be perfect additions. I like that the short length ones look easy and casual when paired with a cute t-shirt and flats, and the above-the-knee ones can be dressed up with some tights and a blouse. I really enjoy the sheerness of the outer layer of the Dorothy Perkins skirt.
While looking for examples of circle skirts I found many great, detailed ‘do-it-yourself’ tutorials. I think that I have the sewing skills-set required to make my own and I’m excited to make an attempt! But if that doesn’t work out at least I know that there are many beautiful ones for me to purchase (:
