What I Wore- Dancing Queen

One of my favorite outfits ever.

Shirt- Target. Jeans- Torrid. Shoes- Primark (UK). Earrings & Bracelet- Charming Charlies.

One dress, 3 days

So any chubby chick knows the dangers of the "chub rub". Your thighs chafing together underneath your pretty dress, turning any dress wearing day into a hellish nightmare of discomfort and hot red skin. Ok, I exaggerate. But who enjoys wearing bicycle shorts, spanx, or leggings under every dress? It's fine in the winter, when I can wear colorful tights, but the summer months in Phoenix are unforgivable and too too hot to think of sporting anything but bare legs. I recently ordered a product from Skindura on etsy that you rub on your thighs that eliminates chafing and makes it a breeze to wear dresses. I'm looking forward to a comfortable summer!

Up now- one dress, 3 ways. 

Worn as a long skirt for work! (FYI, I don't work in an office setting, so a little boho is fine!) Dress- Liberty for Target. Shoes- Payless (old). Shirt- Target plus. Tank top- Forever21. Necklaces- Thrifted.

 

What I Wore- Golden Rays

Turned a dress that I wore for a ball this past December into a skirt. Paired with a gray tank and oversize sweater, it felt just casual enough for the weekend. I still need to hem the skirt, as it is far too long for wearing flats or sandals.

Dress (Worn as a skirt) Peacocks Uk. Tank top- Forever21. Sweater- Torrid. Necklace- Charming Charlies. Clutch- thrifted.

Long Weekend

Hope everyone had a lovely day off for Memorial Day, and took a moment to think about the soldiers we've lost. While I didn't actually have a long weekend -I worked Saturday- I did have an amazingly productive couple of days. Purged my room of a lot of clothes and misc. items for Goodwill, organized my books, and did a few crafts. Plus I got to enjoy amazing hand grilled steaks and cheesecake at my siblings house! Overall, a killer good weekend. 

Saturday I turned this:

 Into this:

With a few quick coats of green meadow spray paint. Matches my bedspread better and I love the color!

Also made time to make a mini chalkboard using chalkboard paint, cardboard, and an old frame:

Did a little organizing of my letters and my cosmetics:

And enjoyed a delicious cheesecake and a kickin' vodka lemonade.

What I Wore- Retrospect part 1

More for my own benefit, I'm going to post some of the outfits I wore as a study abroad student in the UK last fall. I only brought one suitcase and tried to utilize my clothes as much as possible. Still, I developed a sort of uniform- dress, long sleeve tee, tights, boots or flats, and my bright coat. Hopefully the next time I go I can experiment a bit more with my fashion!
