    Flower girl

    I have been feeling a lot more relaxed about posting lately; in my desire to post every day of the week for consistency, I ignored the fact that sometimes, I wasn’t too hot on the location with the outfit, or didn’t really like how the outfit looked on camera, or I hadn’t taken the time that day to really think about how my styling worked together. Plus, with Mr.  Owl and I both working, sometimes neither of us actually feels like taking pictures. So I have decided that rather than post five days a week for constant and consistent content (alliteration, much?) I will only be posting when 1. I…

    Friday Links + Seeing Spots

    {Thrifted} Dress: $8 {Target}  Heels: $6 … and then, the security guard kicked us out. These are the pictures that we took in the outdoor shopping center before we got told we had to have permission from the property manager to take pictures. The security guard really was very  nice when he told us; he apologized for having to tell us to stop, and really he was just doing his job. But I don’t understand: I’ve heard of bloggers who have been shooed away because they have to have a photography license for commercial photography (aka, professional money-making photoshoots) in order to shoot somewhere, and if he had told us…

    Body Image

    Well, hello there! I apologize for the lack of a Monday and Tuesday post; as I mentioned in my Friday Links post, we went camping last weekend and thus there were no outfit pictures for Monday, and then Monday was Mr. Owl and my 7-month anniversary, so we didn’t take any pictures on that day, either. But yesterday I decided it was a good day to take pictures because I wore the above shorts, and since shorts aren’t the most flattering on me, I figured these are good pictures to talk about two subjects that tend to get a lot of reaction (not bad, just reactions) from people wherever you…

    30×30 day 11: Relaxed.

    I wore this on Monday.  It was my day off, so I decided to forego makeup (partly assisted by the fact that I spent most of the day with a friend and didn’t have time to do my makeup before she got to my house), but at the very last minute I decided to curl my hair before I was off to see Mr. Owl. I’ve been feeling a lot more confident without makeup lately. I credit this greatly to Beauty Mint— I haven’t done a follow up blog about how I’m liking it, but I can tell you that exactly a week before these pictures were taken, I had…

  • 30 Day Challenges,  Fashion

    30×30

    I saw that Jess and Salazar are doing the 30×30, which I had completely forgotten about, and on impulse (which was probably a bad idea, knowing how I’m terrible at doing anything for 30 days straight) I decided to join in. On the day that it started. Now, I haven’t actually picked all 30 garments yet (I have 21), and I broke the shopping ban that goes with the 30×30 challenge already– but in my defense, it’s Mr. Owl and my 6 month anniversary on Saturday, and needed to buy a especially pretty dress for it (Yes. Needed. Shush.)… and that dress isn’t going to remix with anything but oh well.…
