Black and Gray {What I Wore Sunday}

I picked this skirt up at Goodwill last week. It reminded me so much of a poodle skirt (though it's not quite as full), and so I just had to snatch it up! It's surprisingly warm and cozy, and I love the little flower detail! Unfortunately, I had the hardest time styling it! I finally settled on this sweet little blouse layered over a puffed-sleeve shirt for a classy, fifties style look.

Outfit Details:
Skirt: Thrifted
Blouse: Old Navy
T-shirt: Thrifted
Flats: Marshalls
Tights: Fred Meyer

Have a lovely day!

Quotable Quotes {Fiddling with Typography}

Last night, I was browsing a collection of quotes when I stumbled across one by G.K. Chesterton, which I liked very much. It is so very true, and thought-provoking as well. It inspired me to play a little with typography. I am fairly happy with the result, though there are a few small things I'm not quite satisfied with. I created the type on separate layer, then added in a photo from my last trip to the Oregon coast, and voila! An attempt at typography. What do you think?

Have a lovely night!

Circle Skirts {Fashion Saturday}

It's been awhile since I did a fashion inspiration post! Every week, I wake up with the idea that I'm going to do it, then I forget about it completely! Oh well...c'est la vie, right?

I have been a little obsessed with circle skirts lately, because of my friend, who asked me if I knew a good pattern for making one (the tutorial on Ruffles and Roses blog is my favorite), and then all I could think about were circle skirts. If you're like me and watch a steady amount of old 50s TV shows and movies, you probably see a lot of these skirts too!
