Easy Living - Day Off (14/30)

Last week I had a day off of work and spent the day doing not much more than sleeping in, enjoying a long breakfast, meeting my boyfriend at his place of employment for lunch and a little bit of thrift store shopping. Oops - how did that happen!? I keep telling myself I need to cut the shopping for a while but this never seems to last. My boyfriend's office is dangerously close to my favorite Value World so I couldn't resist a little stop inside.


Tan Shirt: Arizona, Thrifted, $3.75
Pleated Skirt: Peter Popovitch, Thrifted, $1.50
Glasses: SEE Eyewear

Don't worry - I did wear shoes to the thrift store. :) I just spent the majority of my time at home being "lazy" so I wanted to fully represent that with my usual bare feet. Are you a bare footer too? I'd go bare foot EVERYWHERE if I could and it wasn't gross. I'm pretty sure I spent entire summers outside barefoot when I was little. Just feels so good!


This skirt is kind of like the clothing version of being bare foot. It feels so lighty and airy - it is SO ridiculously comfortable and I feel like I can pair it with anything. That's a 30x30 all star right there, folks!

Sometimes it is just nice to take it easy - both in your day and clothing wise - am I right?

Camo Dreams (4/30)

Let's talk about camo today, shall we? I have been obsessed with the idea of owning a camo jacket for a while now. The obsession got further out of control when I came across this photo at All The Pretty Birds! Doesn't she look amazing? The camo jacket just totally makes the whole look and the necklace she paired with it? Oh, swoon. Needless to say, I have spent great amounts of time dreaming up my own camo jacket and what I would pair it with.

Then came one fateful trip to Old Navy. And there it was. Hanging alone on a clearance rack amidst tanks and sundresses. My perfect size. A dream come true!


Pleated Skirt: Peter Popovitch, Thrifted, $1.50
Black Tee: Forever21, Thrifted, OLD
Camo Jacket: Old Navy, $20.99 (on clearance)
Braided Belt: Tagless, Thrifted, $1
Wedge Sandals: Mossimo "Pilar", Target, FREE ($29.99 but bought with gift card)

Bracelet: Inherited from grandma

It got a simple styling today - all black and camo. It doesn't get much easier than that yet it still looks good, you know? Classic with a twist. Pleats with an edge. My favorite belt to cinch the jacket in...


And my favorite jewelry ight now...


Both are pieces I inherited from my grandma... The watch doesn't work at this point but I wear it because it reminds me of her. Out of all the jewelry I inherited from her, this is my favorite. It is the one of my favorite memories of her - she was always wearing a watch and it was always a small, dainty watch like this. In fact, this was the one she wore the most and the only one left in her massive jewelry box at her death. Clearly, it was her favorite, which makes it a fast favorite for me as well.

In closing,



1. A favorite jacket
2. A favorite skirt
3. Favorite jewelry

It all makes for a happy Katie.
