I wore this a couple weekends ago, when it was still warm enough to. It has gotten pretty chilly around here quickly, which I am pretty happy about. I’d rather be cuddle up in some blankets and pillows with a big sweater and some hot chocolate than sweating it out in the hot sun. So, this is an outfit my boyfriend would not be a fan of because it has no shape. He thinks my maxi dresses look like curtains. Well, he happens to live six hours away, so I will wear my maxis and be comfortable!

*Maxi dress and hat: Forever 21. Top: Thirfted.

I folded the top of the dress down to wear it as a skirt instead. I’m not sure why I did that instead of just putting the shirt over the dress… it would probably look the same, except you wouldn’t get the added wardrobe malfunction of my bra showing. I think I secretly like showing off my undergarments.

Another not so secret secret, I live in pajamas. Except when I’m dressed. Which is only to take pictures for this blog. (Ok, and for going to work and other general leaving the house activities). I like to be comfortable and that’s why I love this outfit – I didn’t have to fuss over anything. I actually wore it all day, even when I was at home. I’m kind of known for making a bee line to change into pajams or leggings the second I step into the front door – so successfully wearing an outfit all day is kind of a big deal.

I’m trying to wear hats more. I think it makes a more simple outfit look more put together (aka makes it look like I tried). The secret to wearing hats and not feeling weird (if you’re not used to wearing them) is just pretending like you feel totally normal.

Remember when I told you that I like to lean over in pictures? It’s still true.

Happy Monday!

And so begins the awkward first post of a blog. I’m not sure what I anticipate this blog is going to accomplish. I am a big fan of personal fashion blogs (as you can see in my never ending blog roll) and would love to join in to create a space to share my outfits, inspiration, and random tidbits. I am not a professional photographer, nor do I have anyone to take my photos for me.

This outfit is a go to kind of outfit – I would wear this any day for anything really. I love being comfortable over anything and this was definitely that.

 I found this snake ring at an estate sale and love it! It’s a little loose so I have to be careful wearing it… I’ve gestured and have had rings go flying before!

*Shoes: Urban Outfitters

I may or may not have been in the middle of kind of falling over when this was taken haha

I love that you can see the camera sitting on top of the bar in my sun glasses (um, except not). Like I said, I don’t have anyone to take my pictures (except my amazingly talented boyfriend who is a professional photographer, however, at the moment we are long distance). Also, apparently I like to lean over when I take pictures. And I will leave you with what will most likely become my stereotypical “blogger pose”, i.e. default pose because I am totally awkward in front of the camera.
