I was sent this shirt by the lovely people from Sugarlips, and I love it! I was so excited when Sugarlips contacted me, because there are so many pretty pieces on their site. The pieces they carry kind of remind me of things you’d find at Anthropologie, but for half...

Plaid Families
Shirt: My Dad
Skirt: Olivia
Tights: Target
Boots: Last Chance
Recently I have been pretty burnt out on blogging, to be honest. I was wanting to do it in theory, but I found myself dreading going out and taking pictures and writing posts. Today my mom wasn’t home, so I went out and took this photo myself using my remote. The picture probably isn’t top quality, but I had so much more...

How I'd Style: Leggings for Spring
UrbanBeyond asked:
Can you do a video or post about how to wear cropped leggings or leggings in the spring?
Leggings for spring by danamkg featuring pullover sweaters
Here are a few ways I would wear different types of leggings this spring. In the first look I put the galaxy print leggings together with a graphic top for an edgy outfit. Capri leggings aren’t my favorite, so I paired the...

Today I had a drive with my driving instructor and ran some errands with my mom, but other then that I’ve just been doing things around the house and trying to pack. We leave tomorrow, so I really need to get to it. I was wearing something else earlier, but I wanted to be comfortable so I threw on these leggings from Oasap...

Sweater: Goodwill
Skirt: American Apparel
Stockings: Walgreens
Socks: Old tights
Boots: Nordstrom
I love this sweater so much. I wear it pretty much every day when I’m just lounging in my pajamas, and all the time on the weekend with jeans. It had been too long since I had worn it to school and posted it here, so I decided to wear it yesterday. I paired it with one of my favorite...

Magenta
Sweater: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: c/o Sheinside
Boots: Nordstrom
Today I had a pretty good day because we went on a field trip this morning. I won a contest my favorite teacher had, so she bought me and my friends Starbucks, which was so nice of her. This outfit is super comfortable, but my skirt was really static-ey all morning.

Dreaming in Sepia
Headband: I made
Shirt: Nordstrom
Skirt: Vintage
Boots: Nordstrom
I tried taking my picture in a new spot to see if it would turn out more in focus, but It didn’t really help. Oh well, you get the idea of the outfit anyways. Do you like this location better then my usual fence spot, or does it really not matter?

Black and Grey
Hat: H&M
Sweater: My Dad
Leggings: Oasap
Boots: Nordstrom Oasap let me pick out something from their site to review, and I chose these cool leggings. They look like leather, but are actually incredibly stretchy and comfortable. I don’t usually like wearing pants because they are boring and uncomfortable, but these great leggings are neither of those things. You can buy them here, and...

Sprigs of Spring
Sweater: H&M
Skirt (dress): Modcloth
Tights: Harriet Carter
Boots: Nordstrom
This outfit is from Friday. After school I hung out with some friends and then my parents and I went to this youth poetry slam, which was really cool. I felt a bit spring-ey in this color combination, which was nice on a dreary winter day.

Texture
Scarf: Jujubes
Top (dress): H&M
Shorts: Topshop
Tights: Nordstrom
Flats: Type Z/Zappos
The different textures (sparkly, corduroy, velvet skirt, and knit) are what make this outfit interesting in my opinion. If it were all one fabric, then the outfit would be pretty plain, because of the basic shapes and neutral color scheme. Interesting textures are a great way to add subtle detail to any...

Pink
Shirt: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: Forever 21
Flats: Type Z/Zappos
I almost didn’t take a picture today, because this outfit is kind of boring, but I had time, so I thought I might as well. My top is more flowey and girly, so I thought it would look nice in contrast to the geometric lines of the skirt. Then I just kept the rest simple so it wouldn’t compete with the busy pattern or bold...

Sugar Skull
Shirt: I painted
Skirt: American Apparel

I walked into my first period class today, and I found that the girl sitting next to me was wearing a black tee shirt with a silver picture on it, the same red velvet skirt, black tights and black shoes! It was pretty funny. Also, It made me think about how much we wear is really original and how much is coping those around us. Maybe...

Winter Ball
On me:
Dress: H&M
Shoes: Two Lips
Bracelet: I made
On Harris:
Shirt, tie, vest and pants: H&M
Shoes: Prada
Last night I went to my school’s winter ball with Harris! It was pretty fun, but the best part was getting all dressed up. The dance was black and white themed, so we decided to wear grey, because it’s black and white mixed together.

This is what I wore yesterday to school and to wonder around downtown with some friends afterwards. I love the details on the collar of this pretty blouse from Goodwill and these shorts, which I got from the Topshop sale when I was in New York fit me perfectly. I hope you are having a great weekend!

If I had to wear one outfit everyday it would be my infinity scarf, and cozy sweater over a skirt with black tights and shoes. In my opinion it’s put together while being comfortable and warm. Some days it’s fun to experiment with new things, but others it’s best just to stick...

It seems to be well made, and I think the high-low hem makes it really unique. All and all,...

Velvet Wolf

Two of my favorite things! Wolves are probably my favorite animals, just because I think they are really cool, and I’m currently obsessed with velvet. I’ve been wearing this skirt a lot lately, but I don’t really care. If I really like something I might as well just wear it as much a possible.

Today, wanted to wear these boots I got at Goodwill, and for some reason they make me think of like a garden fairy or something, so I went with a flower theme. A floral dress and floral printed tights may not be the best combination, but I like it for this outfit. I finished the look off with a braid, which looked really...

This is what I wore yesterday for possibly the shortest day of school ever.

Emmy and I went to Harris’ house after...

It snowed!! Well that probably pretty obvious from these pictures.. But I’m really excited about it, because we don’t get much snow here in Seattle. I went sledding yesterday and today with some friends, and we tried to build an igloo, but that didn’t go so well.

I love this skirt with little nesting dolls on it! However, it can be hard to wear because it’s so busy and colorful. Today I kept it simple by just pairing it with black and a touch of gold on my belt.
