    Style Roundup: Postpartum Outfit Dreaming

    Being in the final days of pregnancy has me really looking forward to unpacking the parts of my wardrobe that I’ve boxed up. There are a lot of things I can’t wait for outside of possibly dressing baby girl and myself to match (and my husband and Asa will probably also match us — side note, am I the only person who always finds it weird to call my husband by his name, whether on the blog OR in real life? We’ve always had nicknames for each other, and using full names is just weird.), and perhaps it seems a bit vapid to think about the clothes I’ll be able…

    Polkadots and Sunshine

    You guys, I am a total style thief. I saw Signe Roo’s post wearing this outfit yesterday, and I immediately went home ( well, as soon as I got off work) and changed into as similar an outfit as I could, because I LOVE it. It’s the perfect mix of summer and retro qualities. I couldn’t resist replicating her style. Of course, I don’t have those fabulous sunglasses or any adorable  booties (not to mention her amazing hair) but for what was just hanging in my closet,  it’s not bad. Right? I’m totally digging the tied-up shirt thing right now. I can’t wait for spring and summer to come and stay…

    Style Inspiration: The 1940’s.

    Since my computer is finally failing me (the “b” on the old keyboard — which rarely works and thus I have a usb plugin keyboard now– gets stuck, the shell is falling apart, it wouldn’t turn on this morning and got stuck on the “acer” welcome screen for five minutes) and Mr. Owl and I participated in the 72 hour film competition this weekend so I have no outfit pictures, I thought instead I’d share with you my  newly discovered love for 1940’s fashion. I this is the era of fashion that I definitely love the most. Of course, I also love the 50’s, but there’s something a little more appealing to…

    Saturday’s Fashions

    My legs have been infected with a fungus. It’s called adorablefloralpinkness. {That right there is a fine example of just how witty and creative I am. Be awed.} I got two compliments on these tights/this outfit today. And one little boy who stared and stared. I’m not really sure what was going through his head. But most little kids seem fascinated with legs that are any color but normal. This flower is pretty versatile. I wear it a lot. I need more. Woo! A slip. Scandalous. But seriously, I love these tights. {Or not so seriously. You don’t have to be serious. I never am. Let’s have a party and…

    Power outages seriously mess with blog posting.

    Yesterday I arrived home from work to find that our power had gone out. Which meant that I couldn’t do a blog post, but more importantly, I couldn’t work on Sweet Ireland Air like I had been wanting to. (I know, I could have written stuff by hand… well… and by candlelight.) So instead of the normal song-and-verse Sunday post, today’s going to be yesterday’s fashion post. I want to introduce you to some of my favorite fashion bloggers- whose style inspires me, whether it be just by their mix of colors or patterns, or that I really, really want to steal every single item of clothing they own. First…
