OOTD: A little Daphne, A Little Velma

Hello!

How are you doing on this lovely Sunday?

I had come to the realization that October is already almost over, and I hadn't taken advantage of the pretty fall weather or anything yet! So today I went outside with a friend and took some cute lil outfit photos for you guys.

I love this dress not only because I think it's adorable, but also because it completely reminds me of Daphne from Scooby Doo! I can't take that title too heavily, though, because so many people constantly tell me that I remind them of Velma. I'll take the middle road. :)

Seriously though, where has all of the time gone? I can hardly believe that this month is almost over; I guess I get so lost in the week to the weekend that time just starts to fly by. I'm a little upset that I haven't been documenting my first few months of college as well as I would have liked, but at the same time, it's good that I'm focusing on just being in the present. 

I hope you have a wonderful & relaxing end to your weekend!

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
Backpack: L.L. Bean (Thrifted)

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!

An Improptu OOTD

Hey guys! The other night I went to Battle of the Bands at my school, and I decided to take a bunch of last minute photos of my outfit because it's so cute. (This explains the fact that it's from the webcam on the iMac in my closet/office!)

Dress: Forever 21

Jacket: Love Culture

Socks: American Apparel

Shoes: Thrifted

Purse: Thrifted

Sorry for such *amateur* photos, but they were the only ones I could fit in! I've been absolutely in love with tartan recently; I think it is just too adorable. 

Talk to you soon!

Outfit of the Day: Houndstooth & Trench

Hey guys! How are you? I finally found the time to get outside and take some outfit photos. Thank goodness.

If you didn't know this about me, I go to a school where uniforms are required. So on days where we have casual dress, I like to get all dolled up! Today I had the opportunity to dress out of uniform, and this is what I wore. However, don't be fooled by the warmness of the photographs. It was around 30 degrees when I took them!

~OUTFIT DETAILS~

Sweater: Target

Crop Top: Forever 21

Skirt: Thrifted

Tights: Target

Boots: Ross

Michael Kors Trench: Thrifted ($12!!!!!!)

Although it still looks like fall, the weather is definitely beginning to feel like Winter! Also, you may have noticed a new backdrop for some of the pictures. I'm almost moved into my new room, and I can't wait to show you guys how it looks! It's so lovely.

Best

OOTD: Raspberry & Leather

Raspberry lips that say come here and a leather jacket that says close enough.

Hey guys! How was your weekend? :)

I just had the most perfect day, I've decided. I went thrifting/shopping with my mom and it was the most beautiful day, and now I'm sitting down to craft and do homework.  It's finally cooling down here in Chicago, and I plan to take full advantage of that before it cools down too much. This is what I wore out, and I absolutely love it so I thought I would show it to you.

I decided to play around with black and raspberry; it's such a cute combination.

Angst queen.

When I went out to shoot the photos, the lighting was absolutely beautiful.

In love with my new ring.

Jacket: Love Culture

Top: Forever 21

Boots: Thrifted

Ring: Etsy

After thrifting we headed to Bath & Body works and I picked up some hand sanitizers and a new scent! I actually got the little sample one of this scent, Amber Blush, a week ago and fell in love. They have a 5 for $5 sale going on for the little hand sanitizers, and I took advantage of that. ;) I'm going to be updating my Etsy shop soon with tons of cute, vintage clothing and fall-inspired, hand-made accessories! Keep a look out for that. Until then, au revoir!
