I love these sandals. They were the first pair of Ancient Greek Sandals I bought back in 2013 when they only had about 5 styles. Now there are TONS to choose from. I have 6 pairs and would kill to have more. I usually buy a new pair each year but I'm trying to resist this year. Perhaps if I find a pair on sale!

Last week we took advantage of the beautiful sunset for these outfit photos. The light is so pretty it was hard to narrow down photos! Gotta love a photographer who isn't my dad, now I don't feel bad about dragging him all over for photos. Luckily we go to the same place for walks every day and it has ample photo spots. Plus he likes taking them. Hopefully I'll be seeing some more great sunsets this weekend while I'm off camping in Vermont!

Also, this top may be one of my best cheap thrifts ever. I got it for $1. I don't wear it as often as I used to but it's so soft and easy to wear. It also doesn't make me overheat even on warmer days.

I wore this on Saturday to go on a shopping and ramen trip with a friend. If I told someone I was going to wear stripes with leopard print they would think I was insane. But after seeing this look they would (hopefully) be converted! The trick to not looking totally crazy while mixing prints is to wear the same color family.

Imagine this look with a regular leopard print. I would look like a total weirdo, right? But since I paired burgundy leopard print with a stripe that also has burgundy, it doesn't look nearly as strange. I bet I still got some stares while walking through Marshalls, but I don't care!

On my way home from Rhode Island I stopped at Mystic Aquarium to visit the penguins, beluga whales, sea lions and jellyfish! Since I was going to be with animals I decided on an animal themed outfit with my leopard print pants and owl shirt.

I don't wear this top very often because I find it hard to style. I think the last time it was on the blog I wore it with these jeans too. Oh well, at least it's got different accessories this time! Including my gorgeous dark purple Chloé Faye, oh how I love this bag!!! I also attempted an inside-out french braid but you can't really see it in the photos.

It's the blog debut of my Gucci sunglasses from Italy!! Sadly it's been so rainy since I got home that I've only been able to wear them a few times. But they're sure to get tons of wear over the next few years so I'm not worried.  It's also the Mickey bag's first time on the blog!  I primarily bought it to wear on my trips to Disney but knew I would bring it out in my regular activities too. It was the perfect match to go with this top and shoes.

Happy Thursday! Today I'm headed to Nashville for Con of Thrones, a Game of Thrones convention that one of my friends created. (Fun fact: I did the programming for the website.) I'm driving the FOURTEEN HOURS with two of my friends, hopefully we don't go stir crazy in the car! I'll be working when it's not my turn to drive. That's the good (and bad) thing about freelancing, you can really do it from anywhere.

The original:

I had to modify this throwback outfit a little more than usual since I don't have the original tee anymore. Rather than wear the same shoes (which I still have) I decided to wear pumps that matched the pants. They're still pointy toed so I think it's okay.

Today I'm heading to DC for the weekend. It was originally intended to be for the cherry blossoms, but they decided to reach peak bloom last Saturday instead, so I'm a week late. GAH! Hopefully there are still some left for me to enjoy. At least I'll still get to have my chicken and waffles for brunch!

And so continues the week of blazers! This one is one of my favorites and an amazing deal. I bought it back in 2013 at my favorite consignment store, Roundabout! It was in the clearance section "as is" for $400...yes, please! (They usually sell Chanel blazers for at least $800.) I actually left it the first time I saw it and had to go back. Even though it was still expensive it was too good a deal to pass up, especially since it was purple-ish. I googled it the day I bought it and found it was from the Autumn 1998 collection, so it's almost 20 years old and still going strong!
