Outfit of the Day: Strawberry Fields


Hey guys! How are you doing on this lovely day?
I have been on a roll with my outfit posts recently, after such a long absence of them! I think I just got used to taking a selfie for Instagram--much easier, but much less rewarding.

I guess with the openness of the Summer, I feel less constrained and more creatively open. It has reminded me how much I love photography (in the loose sense, haha, as far as my skills get me) and how much I miss making YouTube videos and updating you guys about my life.

But less about me, and more about my outfit!

OUTFIT DETAILS

Glasses: "Selfie" from Bonlook
50s Novelty Print Dress: Vintage from Via's Vintage
Bag: Cambridge Satchel Company
Jelly Shoes: American Apparel
Petticoat: Amazon

 I think that the little strawberry print is absolutely perfect for the Summer. It's the first hot day in a while, after quite the strain of rainy and cold days, so it's finally starting to feel like summer. I'm excited for the potential.

Cheers ♥,
Meg

Outfit of the Day: Pistachio Almond & Strawberry


Hey guys! How are you?
Last night I went and saw How to Train Your Dragon 2 with my boyfriend, and I always like to dress a little cutesy when I go to see a film. It's always nice to dress a little nice and feel a little nice!


While in Minneapolis I had a little vintage clothing excursion around Uptown, and I picked up this absolutely amazing sweater. Its pink hue is almost an exact match to cotton candy, and it's perfectly cropped and fitted just below the waist. 

The reason this outfit is titled Pistachio Almond & Strawberry is not just because I'm hungry! In the summers my favorite ice cream combination--of all time--is pistachio almond and strawberry. The two flavors work perfectly together as do the beautiful pastel colors. I guess I'm just starting to emulate my favorite foods.


The skirt, as a surprise, is not actually American Apparel. It's a vintage tennis skirt that I thrifted about a year ago, but you would never be able to tell the difference! I can't even count the number of times I've worn this skirt. It's definitely an essential to my wardrobe. 

OUTFIT DETAILS

Cardigan: Vintage (From my grandma)
Sweater: Vintage, From Via's Vintage (Minneapolis, MN)
Skirt: Thrifted
Purse: Vintage from Etsy
Loafers: Thrifted

Talk to ya soon! ♥

Outfit of the Day: Swinging Sailor (& I Joined Lookbook!)



Hey guys! 
It's been quite some time since I've done a fashion-related post, but here I am, and incredibly excited to do so. A little under a week ago, I joined the fashion/blogging website lookbook.nu and I have to say that I really enjoy it. You can click the hype button above to go check me out, or click this link!

Aside from that, my style has been evolving into centrally vintage dresses again. (Yay!) I had a brief period of time in which I really did not try all that much with my outfits, but I blame that on the stress from senior year. But now it's summer! Woohoo!

I was at my college orientation these past few days, and I have to say that I've fallen completely in love with Minneapolis. I'm so excited to move there come fall; however, I have a feeling you'll be seeing different sentiment from me come the winter! I like to think that living in northern Illinois has at least prepared me a little... I hope.



The dress is from Tatyana, and I just picked it up yesterday from the Mall of America, and boy can I say that store is absolutely amazing. I felt like I was walking into an authentic store from the 60s.

Who can resist spinning in a dress like this!?!
OUTFIT DETAILS
Dress: Tatyana
Shoes: Urban Outfitters

My Dad

My Granny and Grandad!



My grandad managed to get a squirrel to eat directly from his hands, and I got some adorable pictures of it. I mean, just LOOK at its little tongue. Apparently it loves chocolate. I guess we have something in common there.

Talk to you soon!
