Daily Dose: Lacy days

I have a thing for lace skirts. I have about seven, and most of them are black. I gravitate towards them in the store and even when I remember the ungodly amount of lace skirts I have, I still want more.

Daily Dose: Mon Cherie

So I dropped my laptop recently on my foot, and I had thought my foot received the worst of it until I realized this weird jumpy mouse problem is not, in fact, transient. Its wreaked havoc on my sanity; I now live in a world where I open up three instances of a youtube video trying to click on a Skype link and the audio echoes with just a slight delay three times. And this happens all the time.

But enough about me. Wait no. Nevermind.

I found some very old (years old) outfit photos on my hard drive and since these days I mostly dress by picking stuff up off the floor that is 1) warm-looking and 2) not see-through, I thought I'd post them since they're much less depressing than a rotation of scrubs and black things that are also fuzzy.

Daily Dose: Rust and Feathers

I've got a giant backlog of outfits, which I'm thankful for, because for the past few days, I've been meaning to snap some photos of what I've been wearing, but always end up thinking, 'Eh, I'll do it tomorrow'.  TOMORROW NEVER COMES.

Daily Dose: Garden party

Everyone loves this dress.  I don't know what it is about it; the colour, the silhouette or the flowers, but it sucks everyone in and makes them beg for mercy and someone to save them from the overall twee-ness of it all.  The day I wore this outfit I got two compliments from random ladies at the library.  Score!

I love this dress too.  It manages to be a full-skirted shift-sort of thing, which is, in my eyes, kind of amazing.  I haven't seen a silhouette like it since.  These shoes are slightly red now, after I wore them with a pair of horrendously bleedy red jeans.  They fulfilled my itch for white shoes though, and have the slightest wedge heel, which is nice for my poor, flat feet.  

The cardigan is something I was initially unsure about.  I'd seen a few lace cardigans on bloggers before, but they were from Target and I currently don't have Target.  (Next year!)  And wouldn't you know it, I saw some walking through a Forever 21.  I wasn't sure about this colour, but I'm glad I got it, as it goes with more than I thought it would, and summer's been warm this year, so I've been glad to have an item of clothing that covers the shoulders but doesn't actually provide any real coverage whatsoever.  There's some sort of statement on clothing and function or lack thereof in there if you look hard enough.

Dress - H&M (Garden Collection) - size 4 - ~$15

Cardigan - Forever 21 - size S - $4
