What I Wore: Friday Thoughts

Dress/Fancytreehouse, Collar/c/oSweet Evie, Hat/stolen from former roomie, shoes/UO

This is what I wore to grab some coffee and devour a library book in the late afternoon sunshine. Being unemployed is such a burden sometimes, you know? Mustard color is my continued obsession, but I try not to wear these shoes every day so they can stay a little special. The same with this collar from my internship. Isn't it adorable?
One of the other most wonderful parts of unemployment is all the time you have for thinking. That might scare some people, but I soak it up. There are so many ideas I've been turning over in my heart and in my head and, yes, I started journaling about them like my challenge in the previous post. Maybe I will share one or two soon!
I'll leave you with some Friday food for thought, these words from my pastor:
"Work and wealth do not validate your life, [they] do not justify your existence." This life and every experience in it is a gift, so let's start treating it that way.

DIYs coming up in my next post!

Happy Halloween weekend!

Style Me

These may not be the best photos of my newly made skirt all styled up, but I liked the artsy coloring and I have yet to perfect the self timer.  I need to hire myself a personal photographer if I want to do "What I Wore" posts. Either that or find a very thoughtful boyfriend!

(Skirt: handmade, Blouse: Nordstrom Rack, Belt: Urban Outfitters)

This skirt is rather plain, but it looks great with a belt and a patterned top. It's still a little bulky so the belt helps cinch it all in. Also, I'll take any excuse to work this top into an outfit since I'm kind of in a polka dot love phase. With my excellant photography skills, I wasn't able to capture my shoes, but they were a favorite, cream T-strap kitten heels. Perfect for running my errands.

P.s. This polaroid app. is the best thing since real polaroid cameras. Try out it. It can be addicting since every time the colors/scratches look different.
