// Dress: Forever 21 // Cardigan, Tights, and Shoes: Target // Watch: Vernier (from Groupon) //
For the last few months I've been taking my outfit photos with a tripod and remote, but Chris was around today and I asked him to take pictures for me. I seriously couldn't keep a straight face! He was saying the most ridiculous stuff, and there were many more awkward mid-laugh photos that I'm comfortable admitting. I picked this dress up at Forever21 in Indianapolis when I was there with Kaelah, and it might qualify as my favorite thing to wear. I feel a little Angela Chase-y in it. The only issue I have with this dress (and shirtdresses in general) is the dang sleeves! They're always way too tight for my chubster arms when they're buttoned, and then they bunch up under a sweater. It causes me way more grief than it should, but it's a big irritant for me. Also, I got a watch because A) it's "rose gold", B) it makes me feel like a grown up, and C) it was $20 on Groupon. Good enough for me!
Right now we're cuddled up on the couch watching old episodes of The Office and I'm dreaming up new designs for the shop. I'm really loving the extra time I have to focus on my business and craft, but I know it won't last forever. Gotta take advantage while I can! Anything you'd like to see make an appearance in my store??
I hope your day has been great! I'm off to frost the sugar cookies I made earlier (seriously, this extra time is awesome!). xo
love the colors and the print! great outfit :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI just got that cardigan! Isn't it great?!
ReplyDeleteI have like a dozen colors of this same sweater. My absolute fave!!

ReplyDeleteAwww it's such a pretty dress. I can't stand sleeves bunching up and being too tight, have you considered just cutting it off? :D
I have, actually, but sewing/reconstructing sleeves kind of terrifies me so I've avoided it :) Mayb someday I'll learn!
DeleteThanks for sharing! I love Steve Carell... =]
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!
DeleteYour hair is so, so pretty! Also, cute color combo! Whenever Jen and I are taking pictures, or if I'm doing a VLOG, she'll make me laugh so hard!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! It's kind of nice to have Chris take photos for me but I just laugh my butt off! It was fun though :)
DeleteYou look gorgeous girl!! Its a shame people don't really wear watches anymore isnt it? Hope you enjoy those sugar cookies!
ReplyDeleteI was telling Chris how weird the watch thing is, I wore one every day in middle school, and for a while in high school. I think I stopped when I got my first cell phone! And I haven't gotten in the habit of checking the watch first yet, still looking at my phone for the time :)
DeleteLove your hair! Is that some blue?
ReplyDeleteLove your hair! Is that blue?
ReplyDeleteI dye it blue black, and I used a different brand last time (Clairol's nice n easy) and it does look a little more blue than usual! I dyed it before the wedding, and it's holding up pretty well :)
DeleteYou look gorgeous! These colours are so cheerful together!

Seeeriouslyyyy nothing more annoying than tight sleeves!! I always have this issue, and button sleeves are so freakin cute I just want them! You look super happy in all of these pictures, I love it. It makes me smile :) xxx
ReplyDeleteRight?? So annoying. I love the look of shirt dress sleeves but they seriously never fit me!!
DeleteThanks for your sweet words :) xo
You look so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress!
This outfit is lovely, that print is lovely and the yellow cardigan is fantastic. My lovely boyfriend keeps offering to take outfit photos for me but everytime he does I end up giggling or talking and don't get any usable photos. These came out great, you look really happy xo
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty fun to take these :) Thank you!!
DeleteThat dress really is amazing! Love the matching cardi, too!
ReplyDeleteYou are ADORABLE! Love this outfit too.
ReplyDeleteHaha love all of the faces you make. You're a doll. That dress looks lovely on you! Great find! :)
