Ah, sleeping in till noon is what weekends are all about. I'm currently trying to decided whether or not I want to go to Talkeetna for rest of my holiday weekend. I haven't been up for probably a month and I miss all my friends... but I have a feeling it might be crazy-town, considering the holiday. To brave hoards of tourists, or not to brave hoards of tourists, that is the question. It may be worth the trip just to get a breakfast burrito from Twister Creek.

Spending my gift certificate to Revolve has been a little bit difficult. A lot of the clothes on their site are more New York/L.A. fashiony. Kinda more of what someone like Audrina or Whitney would wear (c'mon, you know you watch The Hills and The City, don't lie. haha). My sort of vintage/thrifted style is not so represented, but I found this Free People skirt and instantly bought it. Buttons + pockets + retro print= love. I put the skirt on with the dress and the buttons lines up...it felt like two puzzle pieces clicking together! Orange isn't a color I wear very often, but I have a bit of it in my closet. I feel like orange is kind of a strange color. I don't think you see it on the red carpet very often, come to think of it. I wonder why that is. I guess it's a very intense color. Almost naturally neon, unless you have a more brick orange color. Oh well, orange, I like you.
I'm moving out of my house next weekend. Actually, my whole family is– temporarily. We have a house that we let missionaries stay in on furlough, but one of the families we let it to has become quite large, and so instead of putting them in the smaller house, we decided to just let them live in our house and we're going to live in the other house for a month or two. They're missionaries in Italy and they make amazing Italian food, like legit Italian, not Olive Garden Italian. Since our house has a bigger and better kitchen than the furlough house, we thought it'd be better for cooking extravaganzas too.
The past couple weeks I've been going through my closet and downsizing it, and I plan on putting up a huge virtual garage sale of about half my clothes (if not more). I've been trying to get it together, so hopefully it will be up some time next week. I am selling a LOT of stuff, so I'll try to post like 5 or 6 items per day. I wish all you people were here in real life, then I could just have an actual garage sale! What fun eh? And I could sell lemonade!
29 musings:
I love the whole mixing of the print! how perfect!
Have a wonderful weekend!
This is my favorite outfit in a while and I love all your outfits..lol! I LOVE it...:)
Is it sad that I feel really, really cool that I have BEEN to Talkeetna???
Happiest place ever. Although, you may disagree because you live right there...but yeah. I was in love with it. I had the best ice cream cone of my life there, too.
As always, you inspire. I wish I could attend your sale *sulk*
Oh you can't imagine how i would love to be in your area to come to a real garage sale of yours haha! I think I'd buy all of your clothing (well, if I had your size, but unfortunately that's not the case). This pattern mixing in your outfit here is fantastic, the patterns are so different but go together so well. I feel inspired to try a look like yours here tomorrow :)
That skirt is wonderful! I love how you mixed the patterns of the shirt/dress and skirt as well :)
<3 this outfit!
totally agree abt revolve...but they do have some good denim!
Love the skirt & your owl ring (at least I think it's an owl ring, anyway) :)
I love the top/dress. It is really cute. The owl ring is very cute too.

I love the print of your skirt. It looks really well paired with that top.
I wish I was brave enough to mix prints as well as you do.

I wish I had the confidence to mix floral prints like this. It really came out fabulously! That skirt is so cute, and it looks great with the dress-as-top. :)
I love looking at your pictures so much! Your hair is completely beautiful.
Love it! You always mix prints so well.
i always love it when bloggers sell their clothing! so much fun!
oh man i would love to go to that garage sale!
That skirt is fantastic! love it. And legitimate italian food? Wonderful wonderful stuff.
Hi! Is that an owl ring, Elizabeth? I mean I know I don't have a monopoly on animal jewelry or anything, but GOLLY! I love it! And I love you! And I miss commenting on DT.
I'm so excited for you and BRAVE!

I wish you could have a real garage sale too :) I virtual one is cool though.
Also crazy prints together is cool.
Dress Rehearsal
I loved the mixed prints and colours! Orange is a strange colour, I have a few orange items though!

I actually love the Hills and the City ;) Admitting it!
Anyway you're right. orange is the most neon of all shades. I think I wouldn't mind a bright orange cardigan in my wardrobe though.

I think it's yellow and orange you usually don't see a lot of on the red carpet. Probably because they're labelled as "tricky shades" to pull off. And apparently orange provokes violent reactions in people? Why do I feel like punching the screen?
But really, I looove the pattern mixing, it's contrasting but it matches! What a perfect non-match.

just perfect! printy and colourful without the circus vibe, hehe. you look great and the skirt is so cute, i love it!
I love the pattern-mixing, and those colours as well.
You're basically a genius at mixing prints. And also, I'm super excited to see what you're putting up for sale. Perhaps I can twist my mom's arm into buying something for me. That would be nice. However, this most likely will not come to fruition. And also I don't think we're the same size. POO!
that's really awesome you allow missionaries to use your house on furlough! what a generous family!
i love love love your skirt! i love button front skirts in general and the print is divine!
The way you mixed those patterns....looks like a perfect match with the buttons...I could go for a glass of lemonade!
Have a fun holiday!
I think it is beauitful that missionaries get to have a place to stay if needed. . .but maybe I feel that way because of the fact that I have family who are missionaries. . one who was killed.
Anyway I really love how you are the queen of mixing patterns and prints and such!
yay for virtual garage sales!
This is a super print mix! It inspires me to be more creative.
I'm so impressed with your talent at mixing prints, I'm crap at that!
Doing a giveaway on my blog, check it out!
