Everybody, Everywhere: Floral

I was really excited when I found out that the Everybody, Everywhere item of the month was florals. I own a lot of floral pieces but I've owned this blousy, vibrant colored top for a little while now and hadn't given it much use. I'm a huge fan of floral designs that feature black as a background color. I think it gives the floral that much more pop.


Floral Top: Apparenza, Thrifted, $1.50
Green Skirt: No tag (?), Thrifted, $7.50
Leather Belt: Chic, Thrifted, $1.00
Shoes: Highlights, Payless Shoe Source, OLDDDD
Glasses: SEE Eyewear
I should mention that this skirt is part of a set. I bought it (and its matching jacket) at this price when I went thrift shopping with Suze a couple weeks ago. The jacket is crazy cool but didn't look quite right on me. Suze tried it on and it looked great (especially against her red hair)! I think she even had a little DIY action planned for it, so stay tuned for that!


Speaking of red, check out my legs. Yes, I sat outside for 1.5 hours yesterday and got third degree burns. OK, OK, maybe they're not that bad, but still super red and painful. Long story short, my building was evacuated and I spent some time in some sun without sunblock. I usually carry Neutrogena's spray SPF in my bag but have been naughty about applying it and carrying it with me lately. NEVER AGAIN.


I was really excited when I noticed this top looked perfect against the kelly green skirt. I think I haven't worn this shirt much because it needed something more fun than black pants to pair it with, you know? And, actually, all of the skirts I bought that thrifting day with Suze will look pretty with this top. Love that!


Lastly, an oldie but a goodie! I don't think I will ever buy a brand new belt in my lifetime because I always find great ones at the thrift store! And for $1.00 or less! And real leather! How can you beat that!?

Well, I'm off to check out what everyone else is wearing for Floral Day! Why don't you join me? Click on the button below to check out how lots of other bloggers rocked the floral look today...

Black, White and Tie Dye All Over

OK, I'll be honest, I actually wore this last week on Wednesday, April 6th. I didn't get a chance to show you until now for some strange reason. The bare legs work with today's weather but honestly didn't on the day I wore it. It was still absolutely freezing at that point but, you know what, sometimes you just want some darn bare legs and can't wait any longer to bare em!


Black Dress: Isaac Mizrahi for Target, Target, ??
Tye Dye Scarf: Unisex Circle Scarf, American Apparel, $6 (after using my Groupon)
Boots: Predictions, Payless ShoeSource, FREE (swapped with my sister)
Glasses: SEE Eyewear

There is nothing quite like a simple black dress, right? I like this one because it is fitted but not too fitted. Oh, Isaac. You know the ladies so very well. Target and I miss you. I know you're on QVC now, but it's just not the same... Does anyone else miss his Target line? Oh, how I miss it.


This is the first time I have worn one of my American Apparel scarves that I bought for cheap thanks to Groupon. This neat tye dye circle scarf is normally $34 but I ended up paying $6 for it when you take in consideration the Groupon deal and the price of the other scarf. Basically, I paid $12 for two scarves. Not too shabby.


I am more than willing to pay $6 for a scarf that I can wear all different kinds of ways. Plus, it is HUGE. This thing is substantial, ladies and gentleman... and I have no problem snuggling right on into it.


Have I mentioned how much I adore these boots? My sister owned them for quite a while before she finally gave in and swapped them with me. I gave up a tall pair of brown boots that I rarely wore for these and I haven't regretted it yet! There is something about a short boot that makes a girl feel pretty funky. Well, at least that is how I feel...
