Neon Cheetah

Part of my holiday travels included a first time trip to the South to see my brother graduate from OTS at Maxwell Air Force base in Montgomery, Alabama. I have absolutely LOVED my visit here, the folks are so friendly and their accents are so sweet and gentle. And oh boy, do they know how to dress! They certainly have style here, so I took some notes and picked up this neon trimmed cheetah dress and wore it for an afternoon of exploring downtown with my parents.



I was absolutely charmed by the city of Montgomery, birthplace of the civil rights movement. I loved that they preserved their history so well, including their beautiful buildings.



We hopped on the trolley at Union Station and had a blast getting a whirlwind history lesson from our driver. This is a snapshot from my window of one of my favorite churches. Didn't get the name, does anyone know?



Made it in the nick of time for the last tour at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church. This was the only church that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. served as senior pastor. The sanctuary felt peaceful, but very powerful.



One of my favorite things to do in any capitol city is of course visit the capitol! I am a sucker for any capitol building that has a dome that I can look up to. Our tour even included some Christmas caroling :)



We also visited the Rosa Parks Museum & Library and it was one of the coolest walk throughs I have ever experienced. I am so happy with my first taste of the South, really can't wait to come back!



Until next time :)

Robin Hood

Hunter on hunter with some gold accents, can't go wrong! I had fun accessorizing this outfit, I kept on thinking, WWKD?! What would Kasey do? She's the queen of accessories! I apologize for the iPhone quality of this post and the last, I was being UBER lazy. Next week I'll be more diligent with the Canon!



Also please excuse the orange quality of my skin, that's what I get for using an iPhone instead of a real camera :P I'm also wearing these pretty cute nude colored polka dot nylons, but you can't see them! ALSO! I really like this dress, the texture is so flattering.



Nothing says Robin Hood more than an owl necklace and some major ombre!



Also, these were totally taken at the airport. Good times. Forecast says I'm bringing the rain to LA, hehe. Are you going to have the best weekend ever? HECK YES YOU ARE! First week of December, let's do this!

Cantaloupe

Revisiting my high school days and showing some spirit by wearing some orange and black. I love how hi-lo dresses look with boots! This pair is particularly interesting, it has a faux wooden wedge.



Kasey and I were having shenanigans in Forever 21 today and spotted this gorgeous mint jewel drop necklace! I thought it was a nice pop against my cantaloupe colored dress.



This dress has so much movement when I walk!



Only one more day to get through until the weekend! Going to LA again this weekend to see the boyfriend. Thank goodness for good deals on Virgin America!

Big Kid

Picked up a Seattle staple just in time for the grey season!
Pretty sure I'll be living in these. After all, this is the rainy city :)


What a better pairing for yellow galoshes than a bright red rain coat?


Definitely going to enjoy being a kid in these :)

A Bit of Menswear

Found this amazing vest on University Way the other day.
I've always wanted to try a bit of menswear!


Took advantage of my leftover curls from yesterday to
make an extra big braid.


Warm leggings underneath pretty maxi dresses is winter's
best kept secret!

Couldn't decide which color I wanted wear.


So I decided to wear all of them! :)


Still obsessed with bows! I think Blair Waldorf would be proud.


Pockets!!!


Played with this cardigan a little by wearing it backwards.

I needed to give my feet a little break from heels so went full out on this nautical themed outfit for my boat shoes with a striped dress and a boat rope belt. It's getting really chilly in the PNW, I think you will start to see me pretty bundled up from here on out!

The centerpiece for this outfit are the shoes :)
