Different tastes, changing shapes


  Just a lazy day of button ups and cut offs and the necessary tights since the air decided to go back to being a bit more chill. I'm not quite ready for shorts without tights yet anyways! There's a lot of mental transitioning I have to do to get to that point. haha


I've honestly been waiting to get myself one of these little cross ties. I was going to make one myself, but it turned out to be a bit of a disaster. I really shouldn't bother with that sort of thing. For me, it's better to leave it to the professionals.
It's funny how tastes change though. When I was in private school years ago I would have nearly died if I would have had to wear a button up completely buttoned up to my chin and a silly little tie thing like this. Now, I could easily make regular use of it. I somewhat blame Gossip Girl for making uniforms look so good. I just wish I would have had that sort of sense back then. But no, I was too caught up in the angsty idea of hating everything, especially uniforms, to even bother with the idea of making it look nice.


Another thing I would have never thought of wearing before- midi skirts! I think they're gorgeous. All these longer lengths are just wonderful and refreshing. That's why I was so excited when I came across these two vintage pleated versions from Persnickety Vintage etsy shop. Especially for only $5 each- such a ridiculously good buy. Her shop is fantastic, I would definitely recommend taking a look!

Hope you're all having a wonderful week so far! ♥

I love the cross tie :) It's so amazing how just one thing in pop culture can completely change our perception of it. I haven't even watched Gossip girl, but I'm totally experiencing the effects it's had on fashion.

+ I also have a new found love for midi skirts. I bought one with the intentions of hemming it, wore it and fell in love :) So swishy and ladylike. Especially with heels.

Very cute cross tie! It looks good on you. I'm wearing stuff I never would have dreamed of putting on years ago...midi AND maxi skirts being two of those things (I was a big ol' slut wearing mini skirts everywhere, apparently). Your new ones look perfect, and thanks for the link. I'm going to go check out the shop now.
