Dreamgirl | Outfit
Before this morning, I had not taken any outfit pictures for over a week. I’ve been going through some sort of… style crisis, perhaps? I like my style and I don’t want it to change, but there was still something missing. Then, as I was binge-reading Ashley’s blog, it hit me: the hair. Ever since I dyed my hair, I’ve been sticking with my go-to of throwing it up in a bun with a victory roll in the front, and adding a headscarf. But this seems like such a crime, to have colorful hair and be constantly pushing it up and out of sight. So yesterday, I bought myself…

Vintage novelty print blouse, flower crown, and a thrift haul!
There are so many things going on in this post I don’t even know where to start. First of all, us Shaped By Style girls are hosting a giveaway (Etsy gift card!), so if you love Etsy and also free money, you need to enter that giveaway! With all of our money pooled, we were able to offer quite a good gift card, and I’m so excited for whomever wins! Second, the weather was messing with my photography so much during this photoshoot and it drives me nuts. I wish you could see the pattern on this shirt better in the full-body shots. But then, white print is usually much…

Vintage plaid and a flower crown
I have been wanting to wear this pretty plaid dress from Stranger Bird Vintage ever since I got it (along with this gorgeous bohemian dress), but it needs a little bit of tailoring. Which I knew when I chose it, but uh… girl should have known better. I’m SO bad at fixing the clothing I get right away, and I’ll admit that I’ve had skirts sit in my “hem” pile for six months. Hemming literally takes like ten minutes. So I’m quite glad that being pregnant has helped fill the dress out a little more, along with this belt, because I’m not sure where my sewing machine is any more…

Book Review/Inspired Outfit: The Town That Forgot How To Breathe
And we’re back with the book review/inspired outfit posts (or sometimes, movie review) that I had been meaning to continue back when I first started them! Today I’ll be talking about The Town that Forgot How to Breathe, by Kenneth J. Harvey. I was drawn to this book solely for its cover, which you can see is pretty striking, and when I read the synopsis it only further sparked my interest. I’ve just finished reading it, so with the story fresh in my mind, let’s delve into what I thought. First, the synopsis, found on the inside of the book jacket: “Something strange is happening in the seaside town of…

Mom Style: Leggings Are(n’t) Pants
So I was always firmly on the side of “leggings are not pants” argument. You can totally be more creative than that, I thought. Skirts are just as easy. Dresses are just one piece. Even jeans can be okay, when styled nicely. And for the longest time, I looked at girls who wore leggings for pants with a certain amount of fashion disdain. They were so not trying hard enough. In my defense, most of the girls I see (except for bloggers) wearing leggings as pants tend to wear sheer leggings, leggings that are way too tight, and/or leggings that are just… not meant to be pants. I mean, I’ll…
