in the secret garden

DIY skirt, eighteenth top (gifted, see giveaway link below), f21 belt, colin stuart heels, overstock.com purse
What I wore this weekend... while I was literally smelling the roses around bf's property. Seriously the prettiest 60 acres of land you can ever hope for, with waterfalls and creeks and lots and lots of flowers. No outfit shots from today, since today is one of those days that could drive anyone insane. I had a materials quiz in the morning; tomorrow I have two lab reports due (each takes about 10 hrs), on Thursday I have project due that's worth 20% of my semester grade. Also, I have that pre-fashion show mixer I'm hosting on Thursday so I'm totally swamped. PS. if you're going to UT Fashion Show and you still haven't been invited, put yourself on the guest list already ;)

  14. i just recently found your blog and it's amazing! i have question (and don't know if you already answered) in regards to your skirts. Do you like wear boy shorts or something to cover any bum showing? Or do you manage to more so it doesn't show? i always have problems with it and just wanted to see if you had a suggestion :D

  19. you totally rock the short skirts! i sound like everyone else, but what is your secret to wearing them and not flashing the universe? I love the idea of minis for summer, but how does one function in one?

  31. Great style and lovely garden! So cool to "meet" another fashion blogger who's also a geek! I'm a graduate student in psychology, but I also do some math courses, because I love quantitative research methodology.

    Will put your blog on my blog reading list :)
