Day 065: Origami Animals

Yesterday, I got to spend some time with my family celebrating my Grandma's birthday which I loved. Nowadays it's so difficult to get everyone in the same house what with everyones busy schedules and all, so it was nice to get ALMOST everyone there to party-arty :D. Tons of food, nice conversations, and present opening (my Grandma would much rather give presents then get them so everyone made sure to shower her with sentimental gifts)- It was a lovely time :) And then later I hung out with friends where I stuffed my face with even more food. Late night Wendy's run-woot woot!

Yesterday's Outfit:

I have been loving pinks mixed with animal print lately, so I was all about this pink-leopard pairing. I wore a rose colored blouse with a leopard maxi skirt with some leggings worn underneath for some warmth (it was a little chilly yesterday). I wore my brown boots, black sweater, and my gold chained purse. Also, I made some curtains recently out of some awesome, quirky fabric from IKEA and had some leftover fabric so I tied a strip of it around my head as a headband. :)

The Breakdown:

• Blouse: Goodwill-$4
• Skirt: Goodwill-$5
• Boots: Delias-$40
• Headband-IKEA fabric-free-ish
• Sweater-Target-$15
• Purse: A gift

Day 064: Double Rainbow

Today there was a craft fair on campus where I was able to do a little shopping and support my fellow students. It was great! I love supporting local craftiness! Especially when said crafts and/or baked goods are made by my lovely friends Brittany and Jenny. Jenny makes hippie style headbands and both made delicious double rainbow cupcakes (I had two :X). 

Today's Outfit:

Today I was going for a slightly bohemian look. This style especially took over once I bought my new taupe, braided knit headband from the craft fair. I absolutely adore it. I also wore a black velvet skirt, a rust colored, perforated crop top, brown lace-up boots, my light brown sunnies, and some brown and white bangles. I also got a new zipper ring today that was 25 cents! Say wha?

The Breakdown:

• Top: H&M-$13
• Skirt: Estate sale-free
• Boots: Urban Outfitters-$40
• Sunnies: Delias?
• Bangles: A little shop in India-$?
• Headband: Handmade by student-$1 (!!!)
• Ring: Handmade by student-25 cents

Oh ya! The zipper ring close up :P

Day 063: Little Bicycle Man

GAH! Today was gorgeous! Seriously the most perfect weather a girl could ask for. AND I actually got to spend a chunk of it outside instead of being cooped up indoors all day. Not to mention I made my first Rita's trip of the season. Bring on the mint chocolate chip cream ice!

Today's Outfit:

I have been waiting for the perfect Spring day to debut my new vintage mint green dress! The print is fabulously quirky with the little guys riding tiny bicycles all over it (attempted to get a close up of it). I wore that with a bright red skinny belt that has a little bit of a sheen and bright red lipstick. I also wore my Aztec printed flats that add a lot of complimentary colors to the dress and that have the same pink tones as my sunnies!

The Breakdown:

• Dress: AuH2O Vintage-$23
• Shoes: Urban Outfitters-$15
• Sunnies: Delias-$5
• Belt: Estate Sale-free

Affectionaly, Allie

P.S. There was one photo I chose not to show because of the awkward foot action (no seriously, check it out). However, the way the wind blew my dress for this photo made me realize how awesome a crinoline skirt underneath would be :D

Which One?

If you could only pick one pair to go with this awesome dress which one would it be? :D

Day 062: Worn

Last night I had the fabulous opportunity to attend the Worn Magazine issue 3 launch party. Worn Magazine is a photography magazine with a focus on fashion and art within in the D.C. community. I love what they are all about and am hoping to intern with them this Summer (fingers crossed! XD). Last evening was a blast-live music, snacks, open bar, art exhibits, and lots of lovely new people that I was able to meet. Not to mention the event was held in the beautiful and otherworldly Art Museum of the Americas. It was fantastic. :)

Last Night's Outfit:

 Last night I wore my form-fitting black and white dress. I love the modern look of it with the puffy shoulders and the bold lines. I wore this with sheer black hose that have little black dots covering them. Added my black, suede booties, black leather jacket, and a little gold chained purse. It seemed like too much black to me so I also wore so bright pink lipstick for an extra pop :)

The Breakdown:

• Dress: ModCloth-$15 (on sale!)
• Hose: Target-$10
• Booties: Urban Outfitters-$40
• Jacket: Target-$35
• Purse: A gift
• Lipstick: MAC-$15

Clearly, I was very excited to receive the new Spring/Summer issue :D
