Eco-fashion

I'm not the most environmentally conscience person. I can remember to do the little things, such as turn the lights off, shut the water when I brush my teeth, etc. But, I'm kind of lazy, so I don't do a whole lot. However, fashion? That's one thing I can get behind.

There are two sites I like to check out because they have very cute organic clothing:

Velvet Leaf

Polly Jumper
























Dylan Blouse
























Ella Dress................................................
























Katherine Trouser
























Elliot Skirt
























Bridget Dress

























Stewart+Brown

Drape Dress
























Picnic Blouse
























Asymmetric Tee























I very much want the black striped Katherine Trouser from Velvet Leaf, but they don't have my size left!

Conference Clothes

I had a college newspaper contest conference to go to so I wore this outfit. Sadly, I wasn't there because I won any awards :( However, some of our writers did win, plus I was part of the panel of college newspaper editors talking about the Web edition of their newspapers. According to boyfriend and my newspaper advisors I was the most professional and I sounded the best up there.

And I know I was the best dressed!

P.S. Sorry for my grumpy look in the last picture.

Night of Romance

On Friday night I went to my Senior Ball (26 days until graduation). We didn't take a whole lot of pictures, but we took some nice ones outside when it was dark.

And I loved my dress. I found it at a bridal dress shop when I was trying on dresses for my sister's wedding. I also found this Bari Jay dress and ordered it immediately.

Also, my shoes were gorgeous:

Unfortunately, they were the MOST PAINFUL SHOES IN EXISTENCE. That may seem like an exaggeration, but it really isn't. That strap in the front dug into my toes so painfully that when I tried to take them off it was sort of stuck to my skin. Also, the cute jewelled flower in front also dug into my toes.

Originally I was going to wear this for my sister's wedding, but I'm gonna have to go shopping again now.

Blast from the fashion past

My attic has some amazing things in it, such as my mom's old fashion designs.


I love how these designs are labeled as '60s retro, but you can tell they were created during the '80s.


I found these interesting because the prairie/country look is coming back into style again. I've seen a lot of dresses like the top picture, just a little more modernized.




These summer dresses and outfits are perfect right now. I'm ready for 80 degree weather and no more rain! My campus is soggy right now and I don't like that very much.


I think my mom has actually worn something like the one above. I've seen her clothes from old photo albums and she wasn't afraid to show some skin back then!


Now, this is some REAL retro. I love the skirt and the shape of the pedal pushers and halter top. There's something elegant about the one on the left.


And this is straight out of the '20s. I love the flapper look.


Fun fact: the dress on the right was something my mom made for herself. Unfortunately, she no longer has it. Even if she did though, she was so skinny back then that nobody would be able to fit into it.


My boyfriend really wants my mom to make me this jacket. I think he fell in love with this because the girl has really curly hair like I do, so he probably figures it would look good on me. Plus, I love blazers of any kind, so this would definitely be something I wear.

And for some sad reason my favorite design won't upload! It's this very glamorous white jumpsuit with a plunging neckline lined in black, long sleeves that puff out. The legs are very wide and flowy. I saw one similar to it that is on sale but it was black with white pinstripes. But I can't remember what site it was on.

When the rain clears up I'll hopefully post more clothes.

Wild Things

I worked pretty much all day when I wore this. It was a nightmare at the newspaper. I've been counting down until graduation as a result. 32 days as of now!

Also, tomorrow morning I have to call the company that I might get an internship at for the summer. They've been really slow about things because it's a small place, but I'm excited because I would be writing features and they have a mascot cat who hangs around the office. And I love cats, so I'm probably more excited about the cat than the job.

And, yes, that is a Where the Wild Things Are shirt. I'm kind of obsessing over it because of the movie trailer I watched.

Rainy Days

Although the weather is getting warmer, it's lovely April, so there's rain every other day (if not every day). But I got to use my pretty umbrella for the first time.

I'm really a summer person at heart, so it's killing me that I have to keep dressing for chilly weather. I'm hoping that in a week or two this will change and I can wear all the skirts, dresses and short sleeves my heart desires.

And being a Jersey girl, I really want to go to the beach, but I need a good bathing suit. That's my next job.

The shoes I bought

So two posts down I posted all the shoes that I liked and wanted and I finally bought a pair of gladiator high-heel sandals. They aren't quite the Dolce Vita pairs that I absolutely LOVE, but they're nice and I'm happy.




















I found these at Shiekhshoes.com for $45.
Next I want to buy these from the same site, because I really want strappy silver heels:



















These are $70.
