Greg's always been willing to help with blogging/outfits/etc., but he's usually a little hesitant- especially when it comes to taking pictures in overly populated areas. And once he confessed he didn't always read what I wrote on my blog, but just liked to look at the pictures I always gave him a hard time. So can you imagine my surprise (and excitedness!) when I received these polka dot tights in the mail, compliments of Greg. He actually had been reading my blog- not just looking at pictures, and when he read that my favorite polka dot tights (pair two...) had finally died, he had a new pair sent. Isn't that cute? I think I'll keep him ;)

I've seen (and loved) this type of tights on quite a few girls now. I was determined to get a pair and try them out. I took it simple with the first outfit (#13) and really liked it, so later in the evening when I had to attend a belated Valentine's dinner I decided to style the tights up a different way. Even though all I added was a different top, belt, headband, and coat, I'm not sure I liked the way it turned out- in pictures at least. It felt good at the time though, and I guess we all have days like that. Well, those of us that take daily pictures that is...

1/3 Done!

So this is the 2nd set of outfit pictures I took today. Where are the ones from my first outfit? They're in my trash folder, because the wind blew my messy braid everywhere, my glasses were fogged, and it was just all together bad. I may or may not repeat that outfit... until then here is today's (second) outfit. Nothing spectacular. Just a plain top and jeans dressed up by a blazer and some accessories. Ah, the life of a college student...

Work Wear

These sunglasses are a bit too "bug-eyes" for me- but I kind of like goofing off in them :)

About the Day

Just another day at the office. For some reason I had the desire to look extra "businessy" today. I tied a printed scarf on to hold my hair back and to keep the outfit from being too boring.

Where

Church and hanging out with some friends

Why

I LOVE this dress. It's just a simple tank dress, but the fact that its so comfy and simple makes it like a blank canvas. Since it's going to be so easy to dress up or down, I have a feeling I'll be wearing quite a bit, and at $3.50 on clearance, I think it was a pretty good buy :)

Where

Today I started work at my summer internship! I'll be working at the state 4-H office in Knoxville doing marketing and event planning for the busy summer months. For those of you who aren't familiar with 4-H, it is a youth development (4-12 grade) organization aimed at developing youth in any of the 27 project areas of their choosing. When I was in 4-H I did public speaking, leadership, citizenship, and clothing (big surprise there, haha). 4-H is an incredible organization, and I truly believe it was instrumental in making me the person I am today. Since 4-H is supported by federal grants, it is available in every state- so if you know any younger kids, get them involved!

Why

Dress at work is casual, but I like to look a little nicer. Black bermuda shorts with a cardigan (office is cold!) and pink flats were a perfect easy look for the day!

Where

Finals...

Why

Today was my accounting final, and since I wasn't totally prepared for the test I figured I should at least have a cute outfit. Solution- Simple black eyelet dress with my grandma's necklace and some leopard flats; and yes, I am wearing my gold bangles again. They're my warm weather staple.

No snake sightings today :) Only two more days until summertime!
