Today Mike and I slept in. Heavy. Then we woke up and had no real plans aside from several episodes of US of Tara. (Our weekends are really really low key since we get home from my job at like 4am). Around 1:45 our tummies started to growl so we decided to get dressed and actually do something for the day. After 45 minutes of failed attempts of parking downtown (holy tourists!), we opted for Panera on West End (just like Thursday!). I'm kind of on this "I wanna try all of Panera's salads" kick and well, they're delicious. Just in case you were curious! We noticed the TACA TN Crafts Fair was going on at Centennial Park so we decided to seize ("seas", I'm so funny!) the day by heading over. We didn't expect it to be as large as it was but it was nice. We didn't really find anything that tickled our fancy but I did get a lot of info on TACA and the like for future shows! We took these outfit photos by the half bow of a cement ship in the park. Such a strange thing, but it's pretty fun. I'll share photos from the Craft Fair and snippets of this week/weekend in the next day or so!

Now we're back home and I have to leave for work in 3 hours. I'm ordering supplies for more fascinators and with that being said, I think I might just make an actual "grand opening" launch date for the shop rather than just be "next week" so I can get some packaging supplies, too. We'll see! I'm ready to get them up and out since I already have a handful of custom orders to fill, but I don't want to rush it! I want everything to be branded perfectly. Can't wait to share the branding with you this coming week!

Tomorrow I'm heading 100 miles west to see my family for Mother's Day. I hope your Saturday has been spectacular! xo

Forever 21 dress
Forever 21 cardigan
Walmart tights (clearance!)
Target flats
Not Made In China tote

PS; I've received both a message of "hating my black funeral tights" and "wearing a dress and tights every single day" and I can happily say that what you see is what you get. I love sharing outfits on my blog and yes, they are absolutely interchangable when it comes to being tights, cardigans and dresses. That's all I wear. I switch it up with colors and patterns and fun shoes/purses, but I will always be wearing a dress. If that doesn't fill your desire for "wild and fun" then please, happily unfollow and seek the excitement elsewhere. I gurantee you'll see me in a dress and cardigan almost every day ;) That's how I dress. Also- I love black tights. ♥

PPS; I'm loving having white plugs again! My 1.5" plugs slid right in the other day and I couldn't be more thrilled!

  3. Did you change the colour of your hair again? In some of the shots it looks kinda dark purple? Which, by the way, would be awesome, cuz that's the colour of my hair haha!

    And as for people who don't like how you dress, screw 'em. You always look wonderfully fantastical! Thanks to you, I don't just wear dresses on nights out now, and I love it!

  6. I love your outfits! I can't believe someone would criticize you for wearing dresses, tights and cardigans. I must own 5 pairs of black tights. You can't go wrong with a good pair of tights and a dress:)

  7. You are one of my absolutely favourite blogs for 'outfits of the day', I adore your cute dresses + tights combos <3 I don't know why people in the blogosphere think you owe it to them to be anything but your sweet self. Don't worry about them xxx

  8. I happen to love your dress/cardigan/tights switcheroos! Love, love, love!

  9. first of all, you dress great and wardrobe posts are among my fave things to read!!! (the dork faces with the comments need to heed the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" rule and buzz off)
    secondly, US of Tara is by far one of the best things to watch on days off !!!

  10. love the blue...you look pretty as usual:)...

    one of the reasons I love your blog so, is that you seem very organic-- i don't get the vibe there is anything pretentious or fake about you-- and that's why I love stopping here:)...funny, i've never once thought that you wear the same thing each day...maybe it is always a dress...but each one looks like a completely different look. you have great fashion sense!...and you are true to who you are-- cheers to that!

    xoxo

  11. lol why would someone follow you- only to criticize you? Must not have enough drama in their life? ;) but anyways, I'm super excited to see what you've created! And thanks to you, I'm going to be a colored tights wearer in a few days! :)

  15. I can't believe people take the time to send you hateful email. They must have a horrible existence, and very low self esteem. I mean? what is there to gain from unkindness. While everyone has a right to their opinion taking the time to be hateful is just pitiful. I think your style is amazing and I love your blog.

  16. the coloring of it all in the photos is so pretty!
    your hair color is gorgeous!

  17. wow... how rude! do they expect you to pull off a vogue fashion shoot every day in your yard? pshh. if you find a look that works for you and stick with it (and i do love your looks), more power to you! some people can't even find that...

  18. aren't you adorable in all dresses! i love this one. blue definitely looks really good on you :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love that you always wear a dress, tights and flats it looks sweet and i'd rather a blogger sharing what they really wear out rather than styling just for an outfit post, changing and then heading out the door!

    also sweetest new tote!

    and love the collar on your dress!

  21. gosh darn it lady, you look so cute in everything you wear! <3

  22. ummmmmm.....I read you blog & look at the lovely pictures because of the tights/dress/cardi combo. They can go somewhere else!

    Anyway..I love the little peter pan collar on this dress. Too cute..I need one o' those :)

  23. I kind of can't believe someone was so rude- oh well. I love your dresses, they are way cute and you look super cute in them.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Are those black? I thought they were navy blue :D Either way I like seeing your multiple combinations of cardigan/dress/tights. It has encouraged me to branch out from always wearing jeans!

    ReplyDelete
  25. AHHH i have a dress that is rediculousy similar from Urban Oufitters. Only difference is that it's heart print instead of floral! I love it so much that I'm afraid to wear it haha. WHich is dumb. It looks so adorable! I need to wear it now because you look so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  26. it always amazes me how some people can be so cruel. i love your dresses, tights and cardis combo - and you pull it off so well, so why fix what aint broke??! cannot wait to see the logos and the headbands. itching to get one :-) xx

  27. Pft what snarky comments! I love dress, cardigan & tights combination. I like to read blogs that I can relate to and don't have an ever ending wardrobe - it's good to see people with a style they like and are comfortable in. That inspires me more than seeing people's new purchases that they'll only wear once because they'll get bored of them.

  28. black tights are classic. that person obviously has no style. ;) lookin' like a babe as always

  29. You are very pretty ...and i love the color of your hair !

  30. I live in the north of Scotland - I can't fathom an outfit which DOESN'T involve thick tights and a cardigan.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I also love black tight!! but only those matt ones! and flowery tights <3

    your dress is adorable! as usually :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. LOVE IT! But oh my, where can I get that tote?!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Isn't it a little inappropriate (or highly hypocritical) to be wearing Walmart tights and a "Not made in China" tote in the same outfit? Just wondering your opinion on the issue.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ok, people need to stop being rude! I love your dress/cardigan/tights combos! You have inspired me to do a dress challenge for the next 10 weeks. Once a week I will wear a dress! Also who in their right mind wouldn't wear black tights? This is the only color I wear...ever!
    You go girl!

    ReplyDelete
  35. You look so adorable in this outfit, I loove that dress, it everythign I'm loving now - blue and floral :)

    I never understand why people even bother leaving comments like that. As you said if you don't like what you see just go somewhere else!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Anon: That would only be "hypocritical" if I had ever made a statement that I would never support non-American made products again (which in a way, is ridiculously silly and selfish.) "Not Made In China" is simply the name of the blog... it's not what the bag says. And if your thought really had any merit, that means that I shouldn't ever wear a handmade product with a mass-produced one. That'd just be silly. No matter what, I'm supporting a small business. Whether I'm supporting a large corporation as well really isn't an issue (that is, unless I vowed not to, which I will most likely never do because I simply cannot afford myself that luxury).

    If I ever go off wearing super radical/anti-mass-market propaganda, then you can question my decision to wear fast fashion. until then, it simply is irrelevant. NMIC is a blog title which focuses on one girl's handmade products. It's meant to be attention grabbing with the title. I bet she shops at Target ;)

  37. I love your dress soooo much, I'm on the lookout for a sailor style dress but so far no luck!

  38. Stumbled upon your blog and I have to say that I just bought that exact dress! I believe you pull it off a lot better than I do, ha!

  41. Girrrrl, you inspired me to bust out my tights and combine colors and patterns. More people need to dress like you; the world would be a brighter, prettier place!

    PS - Wouldn't it be nice if we could invent the technology that enables me to reach through the computer screen and slap some broads? Just sayin'.
