// Runnin' Wild


If there ever was an outfit that felt like a throwback, it's this one. "Funeral tights" and some black flats... although these black flats are quite obviously cooler than my old K-mart kicks. Two things become rather apparent in these photos: my grey hairs (!!!) and my somewhat-sort-of-there baby bump. This dress makes me feel like I'm 19 again, and it's probably due to the little owl print on it. While I totally gravitate toward novelty prints, I don't typically pick up dresses like this anymore. Still, I couldn't say no to this gorgeous teal color and the swooshy chiffon skirt. It really did feel like taking half a decade off of my age, and sometimes that can be a good thing! (Especially since I feel so old lately haha) But seriously... these shoes! I had some shop credit sitting around for well over half a year and I finally decided to use it for a few pieces on the site. I snagged these Jeffrey Campbell flats and I was so stoked. Aren't they amazing?! 

Have you ever had that weird feeling where you feel like you're getting absolutely nothing done, but in reality you're on top of your entire "to do" list? Maybe February just brought with it a nice reprieve or something, but I just feel like I should be working more, even though there's nothing left for me to do that day. Lately I've been finishing the entire day's tasks by 10am, and while that sounds great in theory, I feel like I'm in a constant state of "What's next?" I'm probably just overthinking it. Goodness knows I could use all of that spare time to actually accomplish MORE... yet I choose not to haha I think I'm simply in a state of underachievement right now. That sounds so sad to admit! -- I need to be working on the editorial calendar for February because it's already the 4th and I have no clue what I'm blogging about tomorrow. I need to line up this month's Rad Gal, Rad Gig, too! I've received so many awesome submissions! I've said it hundred times already but I'm ready for the second trimester energy surge so I can tackle so many things!

If you have any specific requests for post topics or features here on TCGG, feel free to let me know! I have a few new features I've yet to unveil (one that was the driving force for the rebrand/rename - so stay tuned!), but I'm always open to hear what YOU are looking for! (Except to the gal who suggested tax advice! haha I think that's actually illegal and even if it's not, I don't feel the slightest bit qualified to talk about that! You don't want me telling you how to talk to the IRS!) Until then, I'm just going to watch Seinfeld and try to squash my craving for picklesicles 24/7. Happy Tuesday!

  5. Hahahahaha I love that someone suggested tax advice. I... I like you a lot but I've never thought of you as a tax guru, I have to be honest here.

    Love the colors in this outfit! ANd the tiny owls, of course; I love me some owls. I'll be interested to see the new features! Things I am looking forward to; more prego stuff, whatever you feel comfortable sharing (that may seem weird, but uh, it makes sense I promise. Or it'll make perfect sense after I update my blog tonight, haha), more personal stuff - which you do a great job on, but your more personal blog updates are always my favorites. And also I love your quick little updates about photoshoots you've done!

  11. Even though you say it's a throwback, you look so professional!!! And those shoes are THE actual coolest. I'm madly in love with them!

    I totally feel ya on the "underachiever, despite doing quite a lot" feeling. I always feel like I get nothing done, ESPECIALLY when I'm actually on top of things. I think it's because finishing things makes you feel like, "well, not I have all this idle time!" and not finishing things makes you feel like you were so bogged down. Who knows! All I know is that you're one of the hardest-workin' ladies in the blogging biz! Don't push yourself too crazy hard!

  13. You look so pretty! I think "funeral tights" with black flats are actually very charming and classy, very Chanel-like chic! It looks austere in a cool way!
    The to-do list is neverending and sometimes we feel tempted to procastinate...

  15. Your last post reminded me of a blog entry my former roommate wrote awhile back about being a work-at-home-mom with her own business. I couldn't find it at first, but I finally did!

    She was a little bit nutso when we lived together, but it seems like she's gotten her shit together, lol.

  16. I love this look on you. I've been wearing more black lately (weird for me) and I like how you've paired black with yellow, blue and gold. I also like how your clothes aren't crazy expensive. Was looking at another blog the other day and a skirt featured was $400! WOWZER. - Laura

  17. Kaelah, I have been following along with you and your blog for a very long time and I have always envied your style and enjoyed your beautiful taste in all things aesthetic. I'm so happy for you with this pregnancy, and I can't wait to see what sort of "mommy" style blogs might show up here in the future. (Because you're seriously so adorable and hip enough that I would actually LOVE to read your mommy blogs!) You're truly a gem. <3 xo

  18. Would love to see more about your little one in-the-making! I've read your blog for three years now (whoa!) and always knew you'd be a great momma. Now that you're pregnant, it is going to be awesome to read all about this huge point in your life. :)
