Oh yes, I did

IMG_0466 IMG_0470IMG_0462IMG_0473

Blazer: Thrifted, Top: F21, Skirt: F21, Belt: F21, Necklace: F21, Watch: Vintage Gucci, Shoes: Steve Madden
Ok, well for one, who else noticed that this entire outfit basically came from Forever 21? Seriously gotta cut that addiction/obsession/addiction. And two, yes I totally pulled my skirt right up and made it into a top. Bam, y'all! This whole 30 has seriously eaten into my work options. {and I'm feelin' craftyyy}
So I'm laying in bed right now and I've got the munchies. But far too lazy to actually get up and eat something. Probably a good thing, eating right before bed is bad. Right. Don't worry, I'm not going health nut on you guys. I really am just lazy.
Also, I totally have the video, I finally have it uploading through Veoh and we are at about 80% after about 8 hours. So yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about that {aka, psyched after about a bazillion attempts through every other photosharing site.} Just don't make any wagers over when it will be up.
See ya tomorrow guys!
Love,
Ramsey

I think I'm addicted to F21 as well! Isn't it amazing? Plus, it's cheap, haha. Perfect for a broke college student!

I love how you turned your skirt into a top! :) Very smart! And I ADORE those nude pumps! I so need a pair of those in my closet.

And, last but not least, can't wait to see the video!

Mmmkay. Here's the thing.
I got a notification that you commented over in my neck of the woods, so I was just going to stop by tonight and then comment later so I didn't look so stalkerish, but I can't help it.
#1. Your style I am loving
#2. Your photos are incredible.
#3. You are stunningly beautiful.

...so I'm sorry. But I'm just going to have to continue stalking you! :)

Awesome! This outfit rocks ;) Love how 30 for 30 has challenged us to wear items in totally different ways.

Skirt into a top? Genious. I will have to see if any of my skirts can transform like that as well.

Lots of cuteness here as usual!

Hahahah. You make me laugh. But the skirt works. I say keep it.
And while an addiction to a company that turns over its inventory ever three weeks is not advisable, there are probably worse things. Loving the necklace!

Human Sparkler ♥ said...

you are soo freakin' cute! I did a post where I tucked my dress in as a shirt. It works, but not something I would have ever done before! Very cute outfit!
