The Flowers Do The Walking

The second I woke up this morning all I could think about was layers. Layers, layers, layers. So cold. Must have layers. And for good reason - it snowed today! Not a lot and nothing stuck to the ground, but still. Snow. I'm not ready yet!


Of course, if you know me well or pay close attention, I wear layers every day - maybe just in not so much of an obvious way. I wear a tank top under almost every single piece of clothing you will ever see me in. Just an added piece of warmth, I guess.

I've been sick and exhausted this entire week so I wanted nothing more than to be layered up and comfortable on this casual Friday.


Tank (the print peeking out): Old Navy, ions ago
White Tshirt: Thrifted Towncraft tshirt, thrifted, $1
Tan Button Down: GAP, thrifted ions ago
Jeans: Calvin Klein, thrifted ions ago
Boots: Doc Martens, gift from my parents years & years ago
Glasses: SEE Eyewear
Anytime I feel the need for ultimate comfort in clothes, I bust out one of these thrifted Towncraft white tshirts. They are literally the softest tshirt I have ever felt in my life. I still remember the day I found them (I have two) at the thrift store. My hand brushed the shoulder and I was sold. $1 for each? Yes, please.


I love these boots. I always forget about them & then find them in the very back of my closet and get all excited again. They're the gift that keeps on giving, apparently. My mom bought these for me years and years and years ago for Christmas. In fact, I'm pretty sure I was in high school at the time. I'd say she knows me well, huh? These boots are always such a conversation piece - I always get a ton of compliments on them and/or I get stories from ladies who wore Doc Martens in high school/all the crazy escapades they did in them. Let's be honest, most chicks who rock Doc Martens at any point in their life are pretty fierce, so these stories are always fun and interesting. Love that.

Fashion Reality

If there is one thing that bothers me when I read a fashion blog/site, it's that the author never seems to have an "off" day. You know... they always look amazing, are dressed to the nines, a hair is never out of place. I'm not trying to say that this look may not be true for some people - I'm sure that it is! BUT. But... everyone? Really? None of you ever wear sweats? Or do you just find it not worth documenting?

I guess I'm different.

White Tee: Clearance buy @ Charlotte Russe last year
Grey Hoodie: Thrifted last year
Jeans: Old Navy (the Sweetheart), $15
Shoes: Silver quilted flats - $7 on clearance at Meijer
Glasses: My beloved cat eyes from SEE Eyewear

Yep, this is reality some days. I had today off of work so I spent it running some errands - mainly stocking up on groceries for the week. Personally, I don't have the energy to look amazing every single day. I don't want to spend my day off dressing up to go to the grocery store. Simple jeans and my favorite hoodie won the outfit war today.


Don't get me wrong - I realize why most wouldn't post a look like this. It's not exciting. It's not amazing. It's not inspiring. But, you know what, I'm ok with that. I'm a real girl and real girls sometimes don't always look their best - I wouldn't want to pretend otherwise!

What are your thoughts on this? Do you dress like this on certain days and just choose not to show it to your audience? Why don't you? Let me know!
