Right after I took these photos I went to go out to dinner with my family and threw on a scarf, and when I looked in the mirror I was like, "dangit... I like my outfit like 100 times better now..." Buuuut, I was too tired to go out after dinner and do another set of photos. Plus, it was super windy outside and I was afraid my tripod was going to blow over during my first set, so I wasn't about to tempt fate and go out for another one. And I hate wind. I even hate having the AC blow on me in the car. My mom makes fun of me for this all the time. Interestingly, I don't mind having hot air blow on me. I crank the heat up like it's nobody's business on the way to work in the morning.
For a while now, I've been wanting to show you guys the other ways I've worn the things I post in my outfit posts, but didn't really want to clutter up my posts with a bunch of images of past outfits, but I just remembered that on Weardrobe you can search for outfits based on a single item, so now you can click on my outfit details and it'll take you to my Weardrobe where it'll show you all the ways I've worn that particular item! Pretty snazzy, eh? And all you newer readers can be totally weirded out by my black hair!
This skirt was passed around the Delightful Dozen for a few months and has finally made it's way home to me again! It's one of my favorite skirts and it's so comfortable that I tend to wear it all the time. Speaking of the Delightful Dozen, we have some exciting news! Unfortunately Jessica from WhatIWore will no longer be able to participate in the DD, but we have a lovely new lady to fill her shoes! Maria from Lulu Letty! I'm super excited, it will be fun to have an infusion of new style into the group!
I went out and bought a piece of board and the chalkboard paint, cut the board, sanded it, primed it, and painted it. Voila! A place to make shopping lists, doodles, friendly messages, or a map of my tentative route! You can also see my pillows from target there in the background of the 'after' picture. This weekend I'm going to try and make a video of the interior like I said I would. I may have to borrow my brother's video camera and his movie-making skills to assist me...

Looks great! I happen to LOVE the AC, especially in the summer heat, but to each his own :D
I'm on a road trip right now across the country. We started out in PA and right now we're in New Mexico. It's time to start heading north!
Ah I love that top it's so prettty, and your Brave looks so kick ass inside!
I love that skirt! I have been looking for a nautical inspired skirt like that for a while. I am not a fan of the wind either, but i don't mind the AC on a hot day.

Your outfit is super-duper cute! I love when people turn dresses into tops like that... I feel like it expands a wardrobe so much!
& Brave updates are the best. I get so excited as I'm reading & I see you mention it. :)
Amazing pictures. I love that you take things from stores like forever 21 and thrift stores and make them so classy.
Also, I"m not sure if I mentioned but I love your new header. It's perfect :)

Can I just say I'm really, really jealous that you're going on a road trip in a kick-ass Brave?
Your outfit is lovely! That skirt is just so perfect :)
aw love the chalkboard!
I hate wind from the car windows blowing on me, but I do like AC, haha weird
aww - the Brave is looking great!!!
The new cover is really cute in your winnie! Chalkboards are the best!
And your skirt is so cute and simple. I can see why you'd wear it so often. It can go with so many things.
That looks great! Love the chalk board idea!
I love how you red-mix dresses into skirts and tops, it always looks great!
"This weekend I'm going to try and make a video of the interior like I said I would."

I can't stand the A/C blowing on my either! My brother hates sitting in the front seat after me. I can't wait to hear all about your Brave adventures! Do you have a tentative date of when you'll leave?
This outfit is really great! I love that skit! That's so great that Maria is part of the Delightful Dozen now! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
Oh, chalkboard paint is so awesome! Check out magnetic paint too. You can paint over it with any color you want.
Love the outfit! What a great idea for your fridge cover, it looks really good in the pictures :)

That skirt is so cute! It's sad to hear about Jess, but I can't wait to see what Lululetty comes up with!
The Brave looks amazing <33
I wish I could almost live there xD hahah
Firstly, I love your outfit.
Secondly, I continue to be so impressed by your creativity. A chalkboard in the Brave is such a homey, cute idea! You're going to have so much fun in that thing once it's all gussied up. I really have nothing but encouragement to pass your way. So cool.
I love the blouse, so pretty!
And I also love how you manage to style this skirt in so many different ways..amazing!

What a great idea for the fridge!
Aww! Canada disappeared right off your map?!?
That skirt is awesome. I'm sad that I missed its rotation.
Thank you Elizabeth for the warm welcome!!
Lulu Letty
Hahaha! My family makes fun of me, too! I hate cold air blowing at me (especially my eyes!), but you're right with the hot air! LOVE IT! I think it's a cold climate thing.
The brave looks amazing! I love your new fridge cover :) It's so happy!
Your top is to die for...it looks great on you & your hair!
that chalkboard fridge is awesome!
i looove that skirt-- it's so cute!
I absolutely ADORE your chalkboard fridge! Ah, what an insanely clever, amazing idea!
I loveee wind, gosh, it's my favorite thing ever, but it needs to be a comfortable temperature. Hehe. I BLAST A/C or heat whenever I'm in the car or ride with every single window down. Haha!
I'm sure this outfit looked adorable with the scarf, but really you're totally rocking it without it! And I'm absolutely 100% the same way with the hot air in the summer.. even in the summer. When I drive to work in the morning and my car is still chilly from the dropped temps. from the night before I'll put on the heat. And even when I do actually have the air on (no matter what time of day it is) I will ALWAYS have my butt warmer on! I don't know what people did before those were installed in cars.
Iiih, love the chalkboard! So, so cute :)!
I'll take AC over heat anytime.
Love the pictures, always inspiring!!
amazing. i love the stripes and dots together. wish i could see that scarf!
great idea with the fridge! i love your pillow in the background too.
wow you photos just perfect!! and ofcourse fabulous outfit!
You have such great scenery in the background of your photos, and I adore the skirt.
I love the outfit that you styled with the skirt! The location and the feel of the photos made me think of the song I'm a Pilot by Fanfarlo, and this live video of it in particular: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZxJgcg9xbs
I hope you like it!
Oh wow, such a fantastic idea for the fridge !!
