Home Sweet Home

 What I Wore + HOME!

Guess who's home? Finally! (Hey! So what if I'm just now getting around to posting ;)

Oh my goodness, math lesson of the week? Me + camping = one big mess. (and just when you thought you were done with school for the summer, I threw a good ole dose of math at ya ;) While I had a blast, I am really glad to be back home! I love vacations, don't get me wrong, but there is something about being within the comfort of my house that I seem to miss.

Picture taking was severely lacking on my part, but I do think that some of the people I was with captured a few shots that might be worth sharing a little later on. For now, here's today's outfit. And let me be clear when I say it is oh-so-nice to trade my nike shorts and baggy t-shirts for my everyday clothing!

 Shirt: Free People

Shorts: Express

Necklace: Francesca's Collection

Falling for Fall

Today is a good, good day. For starters, I am in the mountains... and I could stay here forever. Seriously, if you you could see the view I have right now, you would just die. Really, it's that incredible. 

Second, I have internet access! YAHOO!!! Here I was, thinking I had to choose between the jaw-dropping mountain experience and the internet, but no. Maybe that's what I get for assuming. And I think we all know what assuming does.. ;)

So, thus, today is a rather good day.  

Since I am camping and did not bring anything remotely close to being stylish (Hold up, you mean my overalls and straw hat ain't stylish? No, no, I'm just kidding, really ;), I am afraid you lovely people are stuck with a polyvore outfit. With the signs of fall already beginning to show up here, a fall-inspired outfit seemed oh-so-appropriate! 

I'm hoping to have some more posts like this one until I get back to my closet back at home. 

Hope y'all are having a great week!

Seeing Stripes

What I Wore

Fact: I hate skin-tight dresses. Why? I couldn't begin tell you even if I wanted. Maybe it's the non-existent comfort factor...maybe it's the *suck-in*skinny thoughts* that plague me. Honestly, I just don't know.

Recently,  my hatred had reached a new high.Then this dress came along.

 I have a stripe fetish. Anyone who knows me also knows of this unhealthy obsession of mine. That, combined with the dress's $10 price tag (Forever 21, I love you.) was enough to make me look past the fact that it was, indeed, a body-con dress. So, what did I do?  I put a baggy jacket over it and counter-acted the second skin feeling.
Seriously, it was that easy.

Dress: Forever 21

Jacket: Khols

Belt: Urban Outfitters

Necklace: unknown

Maxed Out

What I wore today...

 So, today I met some girlfriends for some lunch a local Greek restaurant. I would say my unshaven legs dictated the long skirt... though I suppose I could have gone all-out-Tarzan. I've been hoping hairy legs will become a fashion statement for some time now, though it never seems to have any luck catching on. ANYYWAAAAYYY....

I'm not crazy about today's wardrobe choice. Like, at all. I literally had four different belts and two different skirts that I was choosing from, and apparently I chose the wrong ones. Oh, well. Am I right or am I right when I say that it seems like we always choose the wrong one? (Well, Sydney. Since you have given me the option, I'd say you're right. Haha ;)

My adorable little sister insisted that she would take this one ;)

Blazing

What I Wore

I will just go ahead and tell y'all, I am not a fan of today's weather.   Days like today- rainy, humid, and sticky- are what I call PJ days, and that's dang uncalled for, considering I have a hard enough time getting ready in the summer as it is.

But, hey!..What's that? An actual outfit?! UhYep. That's right- success;) 

...Today, I am going out to lunch with some girlfriends, and I don't guess they would appreciate seeing me in my *cough*cough* unbelievably attractive pajamas.

Shirt: Anthropologie (on sale, too- score!!)

Blazer- Ann Taylor Loft

Shorts- American Eagle

Belt- American Eagle

Necklace- Forever 21

Southern Stylin'

Hey Y'all!

Since manners are sort of a big deal where I'm from, I just wanted to thank you guys for stopping by- I promise there will be many posts up for your reading my pleasure before you know it! *Echhm* I'm Sydney, by the way (and yes, I'm quite aware. It's not a very southern name. I guess my parents decided Sammy May and Patty Sue just don't have that ring to them that they once did.)

For more about me, I could just send you on over to the 'About Me' page... or, I could just include that page on this post. Hmm... (*Eenie meanie minie moe... IForgotHowTheRestOfThisSongGoes!*)

About Me. 

(...Yeah, yeah, I know.. you're welcome ;)

 I'm Sydney- a southern-born and southern-raised, self-proclaimed fashionista. God has blessed me with a 16 year (and counting) life that I love; spending time with family and friends, going to church, and hitting up a good sale are just a few of my favorite things.I am a fanatic about all things fashion, and it's probably best that we don't count the number of magazines that arrive monthly to my house. (I'm practically a serial tree killer by now!;) I LOVE experimenting with fashion and creating outfits; oftentimes more than I enjoy speaking my southern slang and devouring my grandmother's pecan pie. (A possible sin in the south, you say? Eh, maybe... but we'll keep that between you and me.) 

This blog is the perfect way for me to inspire myself and others through the endless possibilities in fashion. Feel free to ask me any questions- I promise I don't bite... for whatever reason, it's not considered polite here in the south ;)

Y'all are awesome!

I hope you guys enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy posting on it! Keep checking back daily for new looks and posts!
