outfit: elbow-patched camel sweater -- h&m; leaf headband -- f21; skirt -- aa; flats -- marais usa

Hello!
First, I'd like to wish one of my favorite bloggers--Amanda--a happy 21st birthday! She's actually the one who inspired me to try this pullover over a skirt/dress look and I've been hooked ever since!

I really liked this outfit, not really sure why. I just felt super good and comfy all day. I even made myself laugh a little when I thought that I resembled a tree by wearing brown and green together and this leaf headband. This was also the first outfit I tried today. There really is no methodology to how I get dressed everyday. I don't really have any rules either. It's mostly just trial and error. Some days I end up with a massive pile of discards, but other days like today it's a one hit wonder. I forgot how much I loved this skirt. I loved it so much that I bought it in two other colors. I went through an American Apparel phase last Fall, but now I've found a better, more honorable store to get my basics--Gap. I love this sweater so much that I bought its striped brother. Robert then made it a rule that starting tomorrow I can't get anymore multiples unless it's Buy One, Get One Free; basic t-shirts; cardigans; and tights. That gives me an hour and a half to buy its cream cousin...Just kidding. They didn't have my size, otherwise I just might have. Maybe this rule is a good thing. No more striped fraternal twins for me!

In tune with my 2011 Style Resolutions, I've been looking into other hair accessories that aren't bows. I am in love with this leaf headband that I found under heaps of headbands at F21. It hasn't left my head since I bought it Saturday night. Right after I paid for it, I tore off the price tag and put it on. I want to find some big flowers to put in my hair in preparation for Spring, particularly a sunflower since that's my favorite flower. School resumes tomorrow and I'm really not looking forward to it.

Until next post,
Jasmine

    LOL @ the tree thing! Well, I've always found outfits resembling nature quite beautiful! So I love this, especially the colors. I want to dress this way, too; the look's so easy and effortless like you just rolled right out of bed and happen to look oh-so-chic. (;

    Can't wait to see what other hair accessories you try! Maybe fascinators and wreaths? (:

    Hey!!! I have a hairband just like that. I got it on Etsy last week:) Anyways, your hair looks amazing! Did you tease it a little in the back? And of course I really love your outfit as usual.

    Jasmine you look so good in this outfit! I love the unexpected colours together, the elbow pads and that leaf hairband is amazing, don't blame you for getting it on as fast as possible. I would buy doubles of things if I had any space to store them, my wardrobe situation is getting out of hand now!

    You look so good. I was inspired by your outfit so I made a dress + sweater combo as well. I'll post an outfit later.

    I totally dig your style.

    Jasmine, I love witnessing the evolution of your style! I think the leaf handband looks marvelous on you! And I love love your shoulder pad sweater with all my heart.

    (PS, You are so hilarious! I laughed out loud at your joke about having an hour left to buy your sweater's cream cousin... I kind of love buying doubles too, especially since I always lose my clothes!)

    Aw thanks girl! I had the best birthday, in part to great blogging friends like you :]

    Aren't pullovers and dresses amazing?? Seriously...so comfortable and easy to wear! I just wish I had more pullovers. I feel like they are semi-impractical to buy, since it's only cold here for like 3 months out of the year!
