Me and my lady tie.

 
Shirt: thrifted
Shoes: Target (last year)
Lady Tie: c/o Flappergirl 

When I was in high school I went through a lot of fashion phases. My dad gave me free reign at the mall and I used that ability to go through every horrible fashion trend out there. Some of my more horrendous outfits happened in middle school, but in high school I still had my fair share of fails. Like when I dated that vegan guy and listened to a lot of Grateful Dead, and I wore a floor length patchwork dress with star patches on it... yeah. But by senior year I calmed down some and went through a preppy phase. I wore button up shirts and v-neck sweaters, and lots of corduroys. I still love the look of a button up shirt but I rarely wear them. But now that the lovely and ever-so-talented Christine of Flappergirl sent me my very own lady tie, I'm falling back on the button up bandwagon and I'm excited. I'm currently trying to decide what color I should get next :) 

I've been battling the cold from hell for the last week, but I'm feelin' pretty alright today besides a lingering cough. I have plans to start packing up all our junk (we're moving! More on that later.) and then Chris and I are meeting our friend Jen for dinner. We just reunited with Jen, who we knew in high school and I thought (back then) she was my enemy... Turns out we were dumb and immature back then and now we get along fabulously! We had coffee the other day just the two of us, and we're trying to make it a weekly thing. Lord knows I could use a local gal pal! 

Ok. I'm off to pack. I've been stalling under the guise of writing this blog post (meaning I write a sentence and then look at something else for ten minutes...oops!). First up, all the knick knacks and cute things I love. Wish me luck and let's hope I don't break anything!

    1. Thanks doll! [is it weird that even though I didn't grow up in a religious household I always wanted to go to Catholic school, just for the uniforms? Yeah, that's weird... :)]

  5. This outfit is definitely working for you. I'm a big proponent of button-ups and have been on the search for a good pair of chords for ages. That's so cool that you were able to make peace with someone you didn't get along with in high school. Congrats on your upcoming move and your new friend! :)

    1. I am allll about corduroy pants now! I got these on clearance at Kohl's a month or two ago, but I've picked up a few more pairs at Goodwill since then!

      I'm glad we were able to mend fences too, it was really so silly of us! We both thought the same thing of each other, when in reality we get along so well and coulda been friends this whole time! xo
